The crystal Jesusphone

Well, we suppose if you're gonna worship a false idol this weekend this is probably as good as you're gonna get. $295 for the ice, not including the cost of the iPhone. Nobuddy fugs wid da Jesus.

[Thanks, Stacey]

Okay seriously, Engadget Mobile. Use it.

[adammackillop @ Jun 30th 2007 8:30PM]

Disagree. Any ref. to the Big Lebowski deserves a wider audience. Period.

[Adeel @ Jul 2nd 2007 3:15AM]

point of ur comment is....

looks good but usefulness factor = 0

[Simon @ Jun 30th 2007 4:36AM]

Okay seriously, engadget with iphone news filtered out. Use it.

[mark @ Jun 30th 2007 4:45AM]

there should really be a seperate blog for the iphone. this is ridiculous. i can't even find the engdadget w/out iphone filter.

I think that this is the first time in history that people, even non gadget freaks, are so obsessed with a phone. When was the last time you heard of people lining up overnight for a phone! Wow, it's like apple jsut invented the phone, and people will be switching carriers by the boatload. That should wake up the other carriers.

We can go on an on about how iphone is not perfect, but neither are the other phones. In fact, the other phones are probably worse, limiting features here and there. The iphone is a wake up call to the industry. Wake up. 3-5 years from now, we should have a phone that can do/edit MS documents, Take pictures, be at least 3G, have GPS, WiFI, take videos,SMS and MMS texts, Chat, all with a SMOOTH INTERFACE like the iphone.

@complainers and accusers:

This is a tech blog...the iPhone (love it or hate it) is tech. If iPhone coverage gets you in a hissy fit, take a hiatus from tech news, because iPhone coverage is not going anywhere.

on the topic of the bedazzled Jesusphone: I wonder if that affects your iWarranty in any way. Considering how you have to get it serviced whenever your battery begins to flake out, I wonder how the "fruit handlers" will stand in regard to this case-modding.

encrusting something with gems isn't exactly tech.

people have been doing that for hundreds of years.

[BigD @ Jun 30th 2007 8:11PM]

@mark:

The encrusting of something with jewels is indeed an age-old practice, but it still doesn't change anything about the iPhone being an item of technology.

Lenovo puts a leather cover on a ThinkPad, and people have been putting leather on things for most of human history (even before people started encrusting things with jewels)...

By your logic, the ThinkPad Reserve Edition isn't exactly tech, and shouldn't be reported upon.

Please try to be cognizant of the context under which this article came to Engadget.

Now Man, you must WAKE UP! the Ipony has the most limiting features!

I'm surprised at the lack of Christians who misinterpreted the "Well, we suppose if you're gonna worship a false idol this weekend this is probably as good as you're gonna get" and thought he was calling Jesus a false idol.

COME ON?! WHERES ALL THE RELIGION FLAMING I WAS EXPECTING?!

[Jide @ Jun 30th 2007 12:48PM]

actually i am one of those Christians that would misinterpret that..soo 4 my peace of mind please tell me how i should interpret it?

[pastasauce @ Jun 30th 2007 3:25PM]

False idol = iPhone

[Xavier Gill @ Jun 30th 2007 6:19AM]

Did they do whis over the front of the phone? That would be cool.

[BowserUSC @ Jun 30th 2007 6:57AM]

I threw up a little bit in my mouth when I saw that thing.

[Ray @ Jun 30th 2007 8:29AM]

You said it Maaan ... Nobody fuggs with da jesus !!

[Well @ Jun 30th 2007 9:09AM]

So I guess the assumption here is that gadget fans are all non-Christians. Too bad.

I started reading engadget instead of gizmodo because of all the annoying posts using the Lord's name in vain there. Guess I'll have to find somewhere else to read gadget news.

[nicleT @ Jun 30th 2007 9:33AM]

Beuurk!

A detail: the camera on iPhone is left sided. This thing is completely out!

[Jedeye @ Jun 30th 2007 11:28AM]

nice!

[kyle allen @ Jul 1st 2007 1:40AM]

the last sentence in this post was slightly uncalled for...at best

[adammackillop @ Jul 1st 2007 4:43AM]

The Big Lebowski. Watch it. The last line was perfect.
