Nokia's stunning E71 gets diamond-clad makeover

by Darren Murph May 26th 2009 @ 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.

[Thanks, Sierra]

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.
