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 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.
