Nokia's stunning E71 gets diamond-clad makeover

by Darren Murph posted May 26th 2009 at 1:24AM

Nokia's E71 looks perfectly elegant in its Espoo-sourced attire, but there's nothing that can't be made more gorgeous / gaudy with diamonds. Enter Continental Mobiles, which makes its ends by shoving all sorts of glitz and glam onto handsets and charging a ridiculous price. The phone you see above is doused with an undisclosed amount of VS1 quality diamonds, and thus, it'll run you a staggering £5,999 ($9,546). 'Course, it is hand-crafted in England, but you'll have to provide your own bodyguard when taking it to the streets.

Its so sad that these companies mark up the price so much. My ex girlfriends family owns Tourneau here in NYC and in other states/countries and they were willing to fully ice out some of my previous phones for around $1,000 when I was quoted over $5,000 at some other places.

I think its a cool idea. Working in the field for the time I did, I spent no money on every phone, so it might have been worth it. I like the way the E71 looks in that pic above.
