Christian Dior Cell Phones

Filed under: Gadgets

We are late to the party on this one, the Engadget gang covered it way back in May and seemed quite unimpressed but the latest designer in the cellphone game is Christian Dior. The Dior phone is aimed at the Chinese and Russian luxury markets and will sell for around $5,000. The slim phone has a touch-screen, camera and Swarovski crystals on the faceplate. The most unique feature is that Dior phone is so posh it comes with its own phone. The phone has a mini mobile phone that resembles a USB key so that you can put the main phone in your Dior purse and use the mini phone to make calls. Why? I have no idea.

The latest in blinged out cellphones is the Diamond Nokia N95, and there's no argument that it's 'doing the bling thing' in a big way. Coming from Alexander Amosu, the phone is a combination of 18k solid gold and 3.30 carats of high-quality diamonds. Available in a limited edition of only 10, each phone is custom set with 325 diamonds and the owner's choice of white gold or classic gold (white gold for me all the way), and of course each will be numbered from 1-10. Name or initials also available, $24,482.

$218 Trillion Phone Bill

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Do you think that your phone company might be overcharging you? Think again. A man in Malaysia received a phone bill for $218 trillion. To add insult to injury, the bill included a notice stating that he would have to "pay up within 10 days or face prosecution." The company, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, is reportedly looking into the case, but has not yet determined whether the bill was a mistake on their part or whether the phone line was used illegally.

I don't know how much your phone company charges, but I think that several entire countries would all have to be using the line illegally to get the bill up to $218 trillion in a month.
