Perhaps crystals, gold and diamonds would never go out of fashion. As long as gems and the precious metals hold a sway on people’s minds, they would never go out of fashion. Right from the ancient scriptures to the magazines of the high streets of fashion, we could notice that there is an immense need to deck oneself in precious stones and metals. Lately though, the fad of decorating one’s gadgets with these crystals, stones and metals has risen and also plateaued. With that in mind, Stuart Hughes has lunged forward to create yet another iPhone that is covered up in gold/platinum. The rim would also have intricately placed Swarovski crystals. The crystals are fused using the latest CNC technology. It may appear to be eyecandy, but it really does not make sense to cover an iPhone with metals and stones as the idea has almost become tacky. It could no longer be considered to be hip if one wears clothes or gadgets covered in metals, stones and crystals. The pr...

When the “rubies on phone” 3G iPhone was launched, people like me were happy to look at it from a distance. I say it because I cannot handle too feminine look of the handset, does not gel well with the way I carry myself. If you have been reading my posts, you would have guessed that my personality is that I prefer subtle to loud, under stated to gaudy. The new black and white diamond 3G iPhone is something that I would love to carry with me even if I am going to a corporate meet or to attend my grand uncle’s funeral! Sorry to use the expression but it really bugs me every time my sister takes the SIM out of her ruby phone and inserts in some appropriate handset, whenever we have to go for some mourning. I certainly do not mind paying �3599 ($6,500) for this little useful device! Via ContinentalMobiles

First the Ferrari cars came. Then came the accessories, be it jackets, helmets, keychains, etc etc. But now the car manufacturer has come up with something not quite related to the automobile business. It’s latest offering is the mobile phone. Yes, for those Ferrari fanatics, this is another piece for your collection. And the best thing is that it is not just the brand name, the quality of this product is as good as its cars. Well maybe not quite. There is a whole range of phones but we have picked out the best for you. The name is Liquid E. Acer was roped in to make the cellphone. Acer has had a collaboration with Ferrari for some time now, and has been serving as it’s technological partner. In the past, the company has also produced laptops for the sports car manufacturer.

Phone companies will do just about anything to come up with a phone that become the top hit on the market. Usually, they restrain themselves to a smashing design and perhaps a few cool features. Now and then, though, you come upon upon a phone that is a testament to something even bigger. The Vertu Nurburgring Racetrack mobile phone is an ode to the race track at Germany. The phone appears as racy as the racetrack that it commemorates with tyre-like designs at the sides and a slim and flashy finish. Only 1000 units of the phone was made and was sold out, or so we thought, until this phone appeared on eBay.  The seller claims the phone is an original and has never been used, which is quite suspicious because nobody could have just bought the phone to place it in their drawer. The Nokia based phone is made from titanium and topped off with racing leather. If you’re into racing cars and can’t get the sound of cars zooming away on a racing track then you may want to carry one tha...
