Diamond encrusted iPhone – it was only a matter of time

How do you improve on the iPhone? Add 3G? GPS? Maybe some A2DP Bluetooth support?
Nope. Apparently, you encrust your Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) iPhone in about $40,000 worth of diamonds. Amosu’s gone and slathered the iPhone with 420 diamonds, totalling 5.65 carats and set in 18k white or yellow gold, with a choice of white, black or pink sapphires. They are pushing their Diamond iPhone as the “the first diamond Apple iPhone.” It was just a matter of time before the diamond-encursted-mobile-phone craze hit the iPhone.
If you just gotta have the latest and greatest, covered in diamonds and tackiness, rummage through your couch for some spare change – you’re going to need it. This sucker costs $41,225.

Why do they always use the word “encrust”?
The only “encrusting” I ever encounter is that weird crust of my girlfriend’s underwear.
I don’t have a girlfriend. I live in my parent’s basement.
