The fake Bentley phone: so ugly, it's beautiful
Perhaps never before have so many disgustingly unattractive characteristics conspired to create a single mobile phone; truly a work of art, is it not? This here is some sick individual's interpretation of what a Bentley-branded phone might look like, combining early 80's DynaTAC good looks with car themed decals and enough chrome-look plastic bits to make even a Motorola V60 beg for mercy. If you must know, the phone features a touchscreen, 2 megapixel camera, and microSD expansion -- though we're guessing one thing it doesn't feature is FCC certification, thanks in no small part to that two foot long telescoping aerial. Look for this one to hit T-Mobile by the end of July. Not.
The million dollar cellphone
How much would you pay for "the Bentley of cellphones"? $1,000? $10,000? Try a cool million bucks. This one-of-a-kind quad-band handset by Goldvish sports a blinding 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds, according to designer Emmanuel Gueit, and as you'd expect from a seven-figure phone, features such amenities as Bluetooth, a camera with 8x digital zoom, MP3 playback, FM radio, included 2GB memory card and an EDGE connection (though curiously no 3G option or WiFi -- it seems a million bucks isn't what it used to be). For those of you not willing to drop such an obscene amount of money on a phone that even the designer likens to a boomerang, Goldvish also offers several other diamond-encrusted 18k gold models in your choice of rose, yellow, or white, starting at a much more reasonable $25,600.[Thanks, Langer]
