Ridiculously Expensive Gadgets

iPhone 3GS Supreme $3.02 Million USD3_million_iphone1

Why get the latest iPhone 4 when you can step back to last-gen’s most expensive version? The iPhone 3GS Supreme, if you haven’t heard about  it already, is a custom designed 3GS by Stuart Hughes. 22ct of solid  gold, the front bezel houses 136 flawless diamonds (color F) at a total  carat weight of 68 carats, with 53 more diamonds in the rear logo at 1  carat total weight, and finishing all these diamond bling bling off is a 7.1 carats single cut diamond for the navigation button. Oh, and the  handset is factory unlocked. So, you’re not stuck with AT&T. If  the $3 million dollars iPhone 3GS isn’t your cup of tea, there’s the  much cheaper iPhone 4 diamond-blinding version for about $20,400... a  much more reasonable price, indeed.

Why not compliment your three million dollar iPhone with a three  thousand dollar earbud? After dropping three million, spending only three thousand seems almost silly. Sold by a seller on eBay, you know this has to be legit.

 

Diamond Flower Mouse $20,250mouse_diamonds

Keeping with the diamond theme, next up the list of expensive gadgets is the Diamond Flower Mouse. Price varies from about $19,400 to  $20,250 ” although looking at both retailer site, it’s difficult to see  where the $850 in price difference comes from. But hey, you’re rich.  Who cares.

 

vertu___Vertu Signature Cobra $310,000

Step back in time to 2006 and grab yourself a Vertu Signature Cobra.  Only eight will ever be made. Designed by a French jeweler who’s name I can’t spell, the Cobra features pear-cut diamonds, one round white  diamond (just in case you want something a bit more standard), and two  emerald eyes along with 439 rubies. The luxury mobile phone line runs  on Symbian OS, which isn’t much of a surprise of course as the Vertu  brand is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia.

 

Amosu Curva $240,000amosu2

There’s just something about blinging out your cell phone. The Amosu BlackBerry Cure 8900 is encrusted with a whooping count of 4,459  brilliant cut diamonds, giving it a total carat weight of 28.43 carats.  Covered by a solid 18-carat yellow gold case, this Blackberry laughs at modern mobile operating system such as iOS and Androids. Although at a “cheap” price of a little under quarter million, there’s only three  devices made by Alexander Amosu, so you might be out of luck if you want to snatch one up.


Ego Lifestyle Laptop $10,900

ego_laptop2Here’s the thing. If your laptop doesn’t look like a  crocodile-embossed Italian leather bag when closed, then your laptop  just isn’t good enough. Powered by an AMD Turion 64 processor (heh),  this Ego Lifestyle is equipped with a 12.1 WXGA screen, Radeon XPRESS  200M, DVD +/- player, 2GB of DDR RAM, 160 GB HD, a/b/g WiFi, MS Office  2007 (oh snap), and weights about 5.7 lbs. The specs are a bit  outdated, but this particular notebook is rather well equipped (VGA,  S-video out, 3 USB ports, etc). Still in production and still available for purchase from Saks Fifth Avenue.

Original Nintendo Game Boy Blinged Out $29,500

You’re probably used to the theme by now. Grab a mobile device that  everyone can buy, and put more precious metal & stones on it than  you can count. This particular Game Boy is paved with diamond sets on  the display screen, and encased in solid 18k gold (making it extra  heavy). Why let Timmy play with something silly like a PSP when he can  be really turning heads with this Game Boy?
