WOW! Awesome to see and know about.

Sounds a lot like the Vertu range of mobile phones, precious metal construction, diamond encrusted etc. Although they are not smart phones, just bling.
At one stage I was doing some CAD work for Vertu and so had one of their prototype phones to play with, look smart and well made but I wouldn't pay that much for a phone that you could lose :-(

Only rich people can think of buying that phone and it will be a show piece rather than someone actually using it.
