Luxor to Sell $1 Million Egypt-Inspired PhoneLuxurious phones made of gold are now quite not breaking news any more after so many luxury ones we’ve already seen, but the Luxor one is really something gorgeous and breathtaking. Sold for $1 Million, the Luxor Egypt-Inspired Phone is obviously not just astonishingly expensive, it is actually strikingly beautiful, elegant and luxury to every single detail!

 

High-end devices costing thousands of dollars have been increasingly developed in the last several years. In 2008, Vertu, the largest luxury phone maker, teamed up with French jewelry house Boucheron to create a gold phone, carved from a solid block, priced at $30,000.

 

Fashion houses such as Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani, Prada, and even Swiss watch maker Tag Heuer, have all released their own phones in an attempt to use their brand to add additional revenue streams.

 

In June, Gresso introduced a $3,500 version of the iPhone 4.

 

Luxor Las Vegas said it plans to sell an “Egypt-inspired” phone, made from 18-carat gold with black diamonds, costing $1 million.

 

The Las Vegas-based hotel and casino said its “Jackpot” phone, designed by luxury phone maker Gresso, is crafted from 6.3 ounces of pure gold, encrusted with 45.5-carats of black diamonds and features a back panel made of 200-year-old African Blackwood. In addition, each key is cut from a single hand-polished sapphire crystal.

 

Luxor said the Jackpot — and a cheaper version without diamonds, which cost $20,000 — is expected to go on sale in August. Luxury phones are really not for use, they’re just for admiring, even if I can afford (which is clearly a day dream), I just can’t imagine myself talking to my friends via a piece of gold and diamonds!

LG and VersaceYes, LG is really busy hopping in the fashion world, and we sort of like the combination of phones and high fashion. As we reported about their first fashion phone teamed up with Prada not long ago, here’s one breaking news on LG’s new move: It looks like LG shun Prada and cuddle up to Versace!

 

Oh, the fickle world of high fashion! It was only a short while ago that LG teamed up with Prada to create the original Prada phone and its sequel, the Prada II, but in what the tabloid press would call a ’shocking snub’, the Korean firm has seemingly abandoned the designer brand in favour of Versace.

 

The result is the Versace Unique, but all is not what it seems, as LG has not gone all the way with Versace as the Unique carries an inscription reading ‘Technology by LG’, as the handset is the work of French manufacturer ModeLabs. Modelabs are no stranger to the fashion phone world, having worked with Levi’s, Tag Hauer and Dior before, but this is the first product to come from their new partnership with LG.

 

The hand-built Unique is wrapped in leather and has a 3″ sapphire crystal touchscreen, plus customers will have the choice of a stainless steel or 18k gold inserts, while on the tech front the phone will be 3G with a 5 megapixel camera, Dolby Mobile and the usual media and business applications. Such overtly geeky information such as the OS, processor or storage capacity has not been discussed, but we doubt the target market for a phone like this really cares!

 

The price will no doubt be astronomical, but with that name and label prominently displayed, we imagine it’ll do quite well in the right circles. The Versace Unique is due to go on sale in June and you’ll have to visit, according to the press release, ‘important exclusive watch and fine jewelry networks’ and Versace boutiques only to buy one.

 

It looks like the fashion world is really quite easy on the Korean firm. As they always dedicated to make phones of slick and fashionable looks other than functional phones, LG’s move on teaming up with high fashion brand is not a real surprise, but the change of from Prada to Versace so quickly is! And since I never had a thing for this Korean phone maker, let’s just say lucky that LG doesn’t get to really make the Versace Unique.

The world’s first diamond iPad from Goldstriker Amosu Mervis Diamond ImportersWe’ve talked to you about the crystal studded iPad from CrystalRoc, and in that article I mentioned this diamond one which reminds me that we haven’t even talked about this shinning one yet, so here it comes, sorry for the time reverse. This is literally the world’s first diamond iPad, gorgeous and shinning, calls only for wealthy Apple lovers!

 

Ever since the Apple iPad was launched, we knew we would see its bejeweled variant sometime soon, and this is the first stunning one that comes out to our sight, the world’s first Diamond iPad from Goldstriker Amosu Mervis Diamond Importers, who we have earlier featured for their world’s first diamond dreidel. This precious version will feature a diamond studded frame featuring 11.43 carats of diamonds, hand-set in a micro-pave styling. The diamonds are graded G/H in color and VS2/SI1 in clarity. This diamond-studded iPad adorns a $19,999 price tag and is available in limited quantities. You will have to wait a little longer to get your hands on this iPad version, i.e. after June 1, but you can place your order online to reserve one for you now, so get ready to splurge.

 

Also, we would love know which one do you prefer?

CrystalRoc’s crystallized iPadAs luxury goes, crystallized gadgets are very popular today, binged phones are really shinning. As far as Apple productions are renowned for their beautiful design and nice hand feeling, some people just don’t think that’s enough, they want them to be more shinning! And what can we say, they’ve got the money…Well, besides those luxury iPhones, let’s check out this stunning iPad today!

Like it or not, but there is still a wealthy strata of the society who craves bling like anything, and before you dare to call them tasteless, the list of celebrities who like to flaunt it out includes Stefano Gabbana, co-founders of Dolce and Gabbana, who reportedly buys gold-plated iPhones, rapper and producer Pharrell Williams, to name a few. So, after the diamond iPad from Mervis Diamond Importers, the next blinged iPad comes from CrystalRoc, studded with over 6000 individual Swarovski crystals. Their Swarovski version will go on sale sometime late April. This CrystalRoc’s crystallized iPad really fans the blinged gadgets craze further! And I’m just asking, which one Steve Jobs will prefer?

future phone - Mechanical cellphoneWe’ve talked really much about cellphones and I’ve said it many times that today’s phones look much alike and so are their functions. And I do believe many of you have the same feeling that cellphones today do need some more innovation and some real fresh air. So here it comes, the latest news from PCMag: Will mechanical cellphone be the phone of the future?

 

We have seen precious engineering and artful designs in exclusive timepieces with a bit of inspirational flavor around them, albeit the inspiration has commonly come from the finest automobiles. Those exquisite Swiss watches have been considered as a symbol of identity and status for a really long time, and we do admire the beauty! However, in the inspirational category it’s a rare prospect to see cellphones taking their inspiration from high-end watches, but it should come with no surprise to see these two industries crossing over at increasing frequency in the very near future.

 

Here’s a starter from a French company called Celsius X-VI-II which will unveil the Papillon, a $300,000 mobile phone that cites high-end Swiss watches as an inspiration for this ultra-luxury, a mechanical mobile phone. Armed with the most advanced micro-mechanics of any gadget have ever created, the phone also intended to operate mechanically through human energy. This handmade art masterpiece watch with more than 600 mechanical components takes its design inspiration from the butterfly. Priced at $300,000, the phone will be limited to just 50 units in two versions. To know more about the creation and to see the X-rayed photo come to life, Celsius X VI II plans to unveil the phone at the Basel World watch fair starting on March 18th. So, stay tuned!

 

We always love mechanical watches for their elegance and accurate, they just look gorgeous! And I believe this distinctive mechanical phone will look really gorgeous and most possibly starts a new era for cellphone. Well, let’s just sharpen our eyes!

Motorola V3i - Stainless Steel Gold with 855 DiamondsYes, luxury again. What would we do without it? What would life be like without it? I don’t know and I can’t assume, all I can say is that life would be more stainless, painless and on the other hand boring. Anyway, where to pick up our topics when luxury’s gone?!

 

Peter Aloisson, the luxury accessories maker who earlier enthralled us with his $1.3 million Diamond Crypto Smartphone, and diamond-encrusted Motorola KRZR models has now designed one for rappers, hip-hop artists and WWF wrestlers (now, that ’s our way of criticizing this over-blinged Gold version). This Motorola V3i – Stainless Steel Gold is studded with 855 diamonds weighing a total of 3.8 carats. The Gold Motorola V3i sells for £5000 or approx. $10,000.

 

Well, we don’t want it to be smart, we don’t want it to be graceful, we don’t want it to be beautiful…we just want it to be ‘RICH’! Good Luck, you rich folks!

Mobiado Classic 712ZAF mobile phoneCellphones are more than usually now, and we’d love to see some special unique ones. This is the true value and meaning of luxury industry, I guess, it brings ideas and creations, it actually lead the way of common fashion.

Known for bringing cutting-edge technology into the cell phone segment, the Canadian-based luxury phone maker Mobiado keeps up the brilliant work as they introduce their Classic 712ZAF mobile phone. Mobiado keeps the exterior dazzling with the polished and anodized aluminum frame, while the glimmering sapphire crystals can also be seen. However, for those who look for more than good looks, Mobiado supports the Classic 712ZAF with a 2.2 QVGA display, 5 megapixel camera with flash, integrated GPS, web browser, email support and a native music player. Available in six different colors: black, black satin, silver, gray, blue and red, however, no word on pricing for now.

It is obvious that we can’t all own a luxurious cellphone, but somehow we can admire the beauty and wait for it to come to regular phones from other phone makers, which always come ture, except for those luxury diamonds or crystals. Anyway, I love the look of the phone, and the polished and anodized aluminum frame must feels good too!

AmosuUsually, we love BlackBerry for its excellent performance, wise design and for it not-so-high price too. But now, look what luxury have brought us – A Diamond Encrusted BlackBerry! Must be the most expensive BlackBerry ever, definitely not made for you and me, but still really gorgeous and never hurts to just take a look.

Well, Alexander Amosu has yet again set his heart on BlackBerry after a slew of BlackBerrys in precious metals including the Pearl Limited Diamond Edition, Tellor and the Pink BlackBerry Bold. The bling king who considers himself the Damien Hurst of his generation, now claims to have created the world’s most expensive diamond encrusted BlackBerry, crafted in solid 18 carat yellow gold and encrusted with 4,459 brilliant cut diamonds (weighing 28.43 carats). The handset is personalized with your name or company logo and comes with a 24-hour global concierge service. Only three diamond-encrusted BlackBerrys will ever be made, and of which one handset costing $200,366 has already been sold to a client in the Middle East.

Yeah, just another good example of what money can really buy you, the evidence of luxury lifestyle! Anyway, hopefully you’ll enjoy the picture, and go to sleep, we can all own one in dream…lol…..
