Precious metals infect Pharrell's BlackBerry 8700
Look, do what you want with your hard-earned dollars, we say -- just don't come running to us when you leave your six-figure phone on the bus. That there is hip-hop's Pharrell Williams, doing his best not to show any signs of discomfort while struggling to hold up his 18-karat gold BlackBerry 8700. We have to believe that thing weighs a proverbial ton if it's anything close to solid, and to pick a device as utilitarian as the friggin' BlackBerry 8700 to pimp out seems a bit off to us. At any rate, if RIM had anything to do with this monstrosity's manufacture, at least it probably put a decent dent into their legal bills.

Do you think anyone considered the SAR(RF) impact of changing the material used to construct the cabinet?

i like the title. "infect". howzabout something to the extent of how wastefulness and obscene displays of wealth have "infected" our society. i hope he drops it and it breaks.

well this is what it's come to. lupe fiasco's apparently rocking a gold casio calculator watch now. and according to gq (or whatever men's mag lupe's in this month) pharrell wanted to do some "bling" version of it.

As long as he makes good music, he can bling out whatever he wants.

I thought he was different, but I see now with the generic lacoste polo and stunna shades... shuffling your feet to the beat, the same as everyone else. He's probably got on a pair of pink forces. And here I thought he was unique.
