Toshiba Cosmic Shiner - covered in diamonds, costs $4,000

At least it’s not covered in truckloads of gaudy diamonds.
Toshiba (OTCPK: TOSBF) has launched the newest handset aimed at the luxury market (otherwise known as the more-money-than-we-know-what-to-do-with crowd). The Toshiba Cosmic Shiner is basically a Toshiba 815T adorned with a smattering of diamonds and commands a healthy $4000 price tag. Toshiba is really milking their Toshiba 815T or all it’s worth. Last we saw, the Tosh 815T donned some transformer gear for the mid-range market, and now we see the 815T pulling duty in the uber-lux market.
For four-large, Toshiba will make sure that your Cosmic Shiner brings a 2 megapixel camera, HSDPA, FeliCa, and microSD slot to the table - which is strange because the Toshiba 815T rocks a 3.2 megapixel camera. The main difference between the two, however, is the addition of those not-so-tacky and somewhat tastefully done diamond studs.
Toshiba is only making 1000 of these Toshiba Cosmic Shiners, and you have to find a special model identifier in Seven Hills magazine in order to buy one for yourself. If you’ve got the discretionary funds, and the need for a few diamonds on your not-even-smartphone, grab a copy of the aforementioned magazine and get your credit card warmed up. Let us know if it was worth it.
