Another hideous diamond-covered Nokia N95 – £10,000 worth of tacky

Here we go again with another diamond-encrusted monstrosity from a region of the world where good taste and sensibility are said to reign supreme. It seems there are exceptions to every stereotype.
Following on the likewise gaudy Nokia (NYSE: NOK) N95 from Amosu’s diamond-covering operation, Continental Mobiles has thrown their overly-tacky offering in to the ring. With a front-face dipped in sterling silver and then encrusted with “4.42ct of brilliant-cut, VS1 quality, color G-H, naturally mined diamonds,” this cheaper diamond-covered alternative comes in at a more affordable £10,000. Compared to Amosu’s £12,000 price-tag for basically the same hideous customized-device, Continental Mobiles has a deal on their hands.
Of course, if you’ve truly got the coin to back up this kind of frivolous and mind-numbingly gaudy purchase, then you’ll probably be staying away from any diamond-encrusted handsets in the name of good taste and class. The rest of you wannabe rappers and fashionistas can give Continental Mobiles a call and wait three weeks for them to customize a Nokia N95 to your liking.
We’ll take a Nokia N96 and cover it with love (what, is that weird?), thanks just the same.
