Sometimes you have so much money, you feel like you need to showcase your wealth to the world. What better way to tell everyone “I’m filthy rich!” than to walk around sporting a pretty sub-par handset covered in gold and diamonds?
The Nokia 8800 “Royal Edition” has 1160 diamonds surrounding it with platinum plates on the front and back. The company is only making 50 of these babies, so they’re bound to be expensive and oh so exclusive. Inside all that diamond encrusted sparkly-ness is the exact same Nokia 8800 everyone else has.
The handset was crafted by Goldstriker’s Stuart and Katherine Hughes and is expected to launch soon at the Colette boutique in Paris. Long term (or short term if the phone is super popular) customers can purchase the phone from that boutique or online at Stuart and Katherine Hughes’ website.

Wow,
This is seriously one of the most gawdy looking cell phones ever. I think even Paris Hilton would be ashamed to carry this around.
