Stuart Hughes aficionados take note. The luxury bedazzler is now back with an entry-level alternative to its $3.2 million iPhone 3GS Supreme. Of course, the new Nokia Supreme will still set you back a suitably ridiculous £99,995 (or $160k), which will get you a Nokia 8800 encrusted with 12.5 cts of pink diamonds, some handmade veneers made from 83 grams of platinum, a navigation button topped off with a single 3 ct diamond, and the usual granite box to store it in. Only three have been made, but it looks like today's your lucky day -- it's still in stock.
pass
@Freddark
the sick bucket.
Where is N900 Review ??!?!
did I miss it ?
I hope they never sell, and they would be stuck holding the metaphoric $160,000 bag and never make a phone this ridiculous again.
But you know, people are stupid. They will sell.
Seriously, I can't imagine many rich people buying these phones either.
@r3loaded if anything, they'd get a Vertu or something. At least a brand that's worth it more.
I have heard of people buying these diamond and platinum electronics just to remove the precious stones from it; this way they would pay only the 12% sales tax applied to electronics instead of the 36% tax applied to jewels and precious stones; and 24% difference in price on something costing 100s of 1000s is definitely worth considering.
So, as hideous and voulgar that thing undoubtely is , in some countries it may well be a smart move to buy one.
@Plexus that's a great idea
okay for like 10 grand you could get the coolest state of the art prototype smartphone/MId why would u ever spend 160k on a nokia with diamonds and then you could even take the remaining 150k and donate it to a foundation that will help starving children in africa ... just saying lol
But... Diamonds!
16k, i can donate some. buy a car, get a real high-end gaming rig. and buy some games.
@ppsaoda 160k*
For the mere sum of $160,000, I will end the life of this company's President and/or CEO. A steep price, but certainly you get more bang for the buck.
@Brian J
Did I say bang? I meant muted chirrup. Or the sound of piano wire stretched taut.
@unrealtkiller2
So is your site.
While Nokia's 8xxx series phone could be something i might just buy this is something i wouldn't buy even if the price was lower than norm 8xxx series phone.
But, will it blend???
@Sunil
DANGIT!!! You beat me to it...
@Neotyguy40 That got old maybe 2 years ago?
Damn time flies.
@unrealtkiller2 If anything, Symbian would make this worse
wow judging by pic Nokia is loosing it.130k phone looks tacky and plastic cheap
Oh look, the rich people are hurting too. Look what they have to step down to.
The sad part is someone actually sat down and designed this piece of crap
