It’s bling time and Motorola is the culprit, launching a Peter Aloisson-designed V3i phone, made from gold-clad stainless steel and encrusted with 855 tiny diamonds.I know they’re tiny because the phone ‘only’ costs around £5,000. Which is nothing really considering Aloisson designed the Diamond Crypto Smartphone which cost around £650,000, so this is really slumming it for him.
Still, it’s brash and ugly enough to appeal to the bling set where money replaces taste but garners you lots of ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’ from hangers-on idiots and people that like to say things like ‘Oh My Gawd!! That’s like, just so, I mean it, utterly fabulous, y’know, and it goes so well with your ear-lobes”- or something.
Anyway there’s a cheapo version made from stainless steel – but also with the diamonds – for just £2,000. See a photo of it after the jump.
Or, if that boob-job, ass-lift, tummy-tuck, facial peel, colonic or botox shot cost more than expected, you can always go bargain basement with the £680 gold Nokia 8800 Sirocco.-Martin Lynch
