  Most expensive mobile phone-Apple iPhone 3G Supreme sets world record

     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.
