The solid gold Vertu Boucheron 150 makes us hate humanity

You know how you can tell that this is a "luxury" phone? It looks like it was shaped by an overly taut sphincter. The Vertu Boucheron 150 is made from "solid gold" and is meant to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Boucheron jewelry house in Paris. According to the designer, it took 1,000 hours to cut into shape, 700 hours to hand polish, and more than 500 hours to build. Funny, it only took us a split-second to wretch. Do the Japanese really prefer these Vertu designs from Nokia over the E71? No price or any real detail announced, just a picture of the enormous packing box after the break.

It looks like the evil little transformer that got electrocuted in the transparent box.

First people moan & complain that Vertu don't make 3g phones. Now here they are with one that's beautifully shaped like a crumpled up Tootsie Roll & once again- nothing but wining. Seriously, some folks just can't be pleased. I know where my next $30,000 phone will come from.
