While scavenging for pricey handsets to hang on the gilded walls at the Mansion, we luckily bumped into one Alexander Amosu, of Amosu fame. The Amosu brand is synonymous with gold, encrusted and dripping with gemstones, and most of all, pricey. In his bag of tricks we found three fully-kitted BlackBerry Bolds, a pink iPhone, and an iced Motorola Aura. If you lined them up on a table -- which, of course, we did -- you'd be looking at some 12 plus carats and a price tag somewhere up around 50k. Sure, we're normally harsh on these types of things, but seeing them up close, we could almost kinda get it. Huge sparkling gallery after the break, so if you have shades, now's the time to don them.
When your cell phone just doesn't scream "STEAL ME" already.
The most expensive possible way to make your phone ugly.
Isn't there a recession or something going on. This phone screams F.U. poor people!
If you could afford a diamond-encrusted cell phone before the recession, you can still afford one now.
call me crazy, but id rock em... even the pink ones
The Black Blackbold is badass. Even without the bling, the Bold clearly should have been made in all black.
I obviously meant the black Blackberry Bold, not the Blackbold lol.
If u bought this and some1 hasn't jacked it, consider urself a desperate rich thing.
is it just me or do those things look ridiculous? It's not they even put any thought into being creative. They just looked for spots where they could stick on some expensive stones. A 10 year old with a hot glue gun and some fake diamonds could do what they did. This is just appealing to rich people too stupid to know what to spend their money on. Even if i had the money i wouldn't buy one of those.
If I had that money I would be using a Docomo/Softbank phone in roaming all the time... And actually have a phone that's not ugly :)
