How many homeless families could be helped for 1.3 million?
ann Jul 21st 2006 7:05AM
that phone is for the Rich and Famous, not the poor and unfamous.I will stick to me cheap $20.00 phone.
John Jul 21st 2006 7:17AM
this only goes to show the stupidity of people who would buy this phone...I guess for $1.3 million...I would be pissed if when it drops a call
Ori Jul 21st 2006 7:29AM
If somebody bought that phone, dropped it and it broke that would be a waste of money. And i can tell you at least three people who can and will buy that phone
stacie Jul 21st 2006 7:46AM
agreed. just because it has diamonds doesn't meant people need it. so many more thigns could be done with 1.3 million (e.g. help the poor, a house, car, not to mention college tuitions, etc).

It took me a while to check but not I am certain. That IS the dumbest thing that I have ever seen in my life. Why does that product exist? I had better sense than that when I was crazy.
Sandra Jul 21st 2006 8:08AM
Well, maybe who ever will buy this will also help the people who need it the most, and not leave it all to the middle class america to help.

I THINK THAT IS TACKY, ARE YOU THAT SO IMPORTANT YOU NEED TO SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY TO TALK ON THE PHONE!!!
MAYBE ONE DAY I CAN HAVE A DIAMOND STUDDED TOILET SEAT SO I CAN SEE MY MONEY GO DOWN THE DRAIN LOL LOL
Sandra Jul 21st 2006 8:19AM
If people would spend this much money on the homeless and hungry this world would be a much better place.
lee Jul 21st 2006 8:22AM

Who cares about the homeless, etc; I'd buy the phone!!
Lauren Jul 21st 2006 8:30AM
This is obviously the next stupidity after diamond studded veneers for teeth (grills as hey are called).
Ellen Jul 21st 2006 8:30AM
The $3.1 million used to make this phone could be used for stem cell research. I would rather save someones life than spend money on something meaningless. Just think if you lose the phone, do you think you are going to get it back?
joey Jul 21st 2006 8:30AM
YEA, I HAVE 3 OF THOSE PHONES, WHY? BECAUSE I'M BANGING 3 POLITICIANS WIFE AND THEY MUST OF USED ALOT OF THAT "PAYOFF" MONEY TO BUY THE PHONES FOR ME.

Well we can all be thankful that the money has left the hands of the idiot who bought this and has another opportunity to be given a better purpose. Be joyous and keep the money flowing from these numbskulls.!
Myles Jul 21st 2006 8:41AM
Is a simple telephone call worth a 1.3 million dollar telephone?
John Jul 21st 2006 8:42AM
TOTAL BS!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE ABSOLUTE STUPIDIST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. WHY CANT YOU JUST USE THE DAMN MONEY TO HELP PEOPLE LESS FORTUNATE THAN YOU GREEDY BASTARDS THAT JUST WANT MORE AND MORE AND MORE FREAKIN MONEY. YOU CANT TAKE IT TO YOUR GRAVE, AND THERES NO ATMS IN HEAVEN, SO PUT IT TO SOME GOOD USE FOR A CHANGE WILL YA? OH, AND BY THE WHY I HATE DAMN CELLPHONES ANYWAY, IF IT'S THAT IMPORTANT CALL ME AT HOME!!! I'LL STILL GET THE CALL RIGHT?
Chris Jul 21st 2006 8:45AM
What do you do when it's old? Throw it out or donate it to a help charity? What if Britney's baby throws up on it or it lands in the pool? WHAT A WASTE!
