Wow
ummm.... damn.... that would last.... maybe 30 seconds in my current mode of smash and bash strap everything to my belt or stuff it in my pockets and the crawl around in the floors and ceilings running CAT5 or fixing stuff... course I don't have a plush Gucci purse, that might help protect it, and if I could actually afford that phone I'd proly not be crawling around on the floor or anything... still looks like a cheap piece of plastic.... *shakes head*
"Get these Mother F&^%ing snakes off my Mother F@#%ing cell phone!"
haha.
Samuel Jackson +1
hahaha
Even Paris Hilton would say, "What a gaudy piece of s**t." That's truly hideous.
The more insanely expensive you make something, the more people think they have to have it. Because, sadly, way too many people base their self-worth on the value of their material things.
I'm just as guilty of it as anyone, but at least I can admit I have a problem. And don't ask me why I have 3 computers, and a fourth on the way....
Not even rappers will like this...
I think the wealthier you get, the stupider you get.
I say that, because it's amazing what the wealthy will waste their money on. They have all that money and therefore could have access to so much knowledge regarding the latest technologies and so on, yet they still waste their money on some lame-ass phone with old technology from the 90's.
Vertu, please wake up from your slumber. If you're going to slap jewels and ugly crap like this gaudy, stupid looking snake on a phone, at least choose a phone with the latest technologies.
If this is all it takes to make hundreds of thousands of dollars from the rich, then I should come up with something similar. Like jewel encrusted garbage cans.

Oh, there is a Vertu store at the airport here. I have never gone in but the phones all look like that. That is also one of the ugliest phones I have seen. At least its not a motorola. Then it could be worse
This seems like a great idea to me. Can you think of a better way to pick rich people out of the crowd who should fall victims to Darwinism? If you see someone with this (standing next to their super dupper ricecar with the 8ft wing) - you should lock & load.
(I'm kidding - don't hurt people just cause they're morons.)
Will they sue me of I glue a bunch of "diamels" to an old Cobraphone from back in the day? Because, ya know, that would be hawt.
