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!

The Vertu Strawberry and Cream CellphoneSummer is here, and everyone love cream in this sweet summer, so how about get some strawberry and cream cellphone for the fun of summer? Well, check out the Vertu Strawberry and Cream Cellphone from Nokia.

 

Ahh, the sweet smell of summer, and the sweet stylings by Nokia’s luxury division, Vertu, complement each other so well. Launching a special edition strawberry and cream models for the girl whose phone must match her new summer handbag, the pierced leather that decorates the Ascent mobile comes in two- you guessed it- colour ways, one berry, one cream. Though the phone cannot be faulted for it’s high tech specs- hands free loudspeakers, polyphonic Yamaha hardware and a sapphire coated LCD screen, I feel kinda gypped at the fact that they’re touting themselves as strawberries and cream, when it’s strawberries or cream. And not a Chupa Chups or scented phone charm in sight. I may have to invest in some penny sweets to cheer me up now.

 

So, how do you feel about these phones, girls? Do you love them, or you just want some real strawberries and cream for the summer?
