Peter Aloisson gives Nokia 8800 a $131,000 diamond-studded makeover

Okay, we'd like to issue a retraction here. That Nokia 8800 we called "diamond-studded" earlier this month is actually just "diamond-accented." This, however, is patently studded. Crafted by designer Peter Aloisson, the 8800 Arte Pink is quite literally covered in 18-karat white gold and encrusted with over 680 pink and white diamonds. Best of all, the totally obtainable handset is being offered now to the peons of the world for a mere €85,000 ($131,673). A bona fide bargain, we tell ya.

I wonder if you can get an equipment protection plan with a contract if this thing is ever lost or stolen. Would that be covered? I'm going to assume NO.

Highly Ranked

Hey this reminds me of a 5k dollar car with 10k dollar wheels parked in front of a 400 sqft apartment.

Oh yea, I'll RUN to the nearest store to buy THIS! And I'll turn a completely BLIND EYE to needy kids without school supplies, shoes, homes or food while I'm strutting around on this stupid phone having a conversation that I could have just the same if I were talking on a $29.00 phone! THIS junk is what makes me sick! If people stopped wasting money trying to show off, and helped a needy neighbor, America WOULD NOT HAVE POVERTY! WAKE UP!
