Most expensive mobile phone-Apple iPhone 3G
Supreme sets world record
LIVERPOOL, UK -- British designer Stuart
Hughes used 271 grams of 22-karat gold and nearly
200 diamonds to create an iPhone 3GS worth a whopping $3.2
million-setting the new world record for the Most
expensive mobile phone.

The phone, designed by Stuart
Hughes for the Liverpool-based Goldstriker
International, is made from 22-carat gold.
"The iPhone is the phone with the most
tricks on the market. What possibly could we do to trick it
up more? Bless it with the finest precious metal and jewels,"
Hughes told PC Advisor.
It took Hughes 10 months to create the Most
expensive mobile phone. "Most of the 10 months was
spent trying to source the diamond for the navigation button,"
Hughes said.
The Apple logo, embedded in the gold casing
on the back of the Most
expensive mobile phone, is made of 58 diamonds totaling
roughly one carat. The navigation button on the front of the
iPhone was made from a rare seven-carat diamond.
The Most
expensive mobile phone, which took over ten months
to make, ships with a seven kg chest crafted from a single
block of granite, offset with Kashmir gold and lined with
Nubuck leather on the inside.
Called the iPhone 3G Supreme, the Most
expensive mobile phone was reportedly commissioned
by an anonymous Australian businessman.
The previous world
record for the most expensive mobile phone was set by
a
GoldVish
phone.
