If you thought that Nokia's Vertu range of handsets were one of the most expensive handsets in the Nokia stable then think again. Welcome, Nokia Supreme, the costliest of all Nokia's out there. Taking its design inspiration from the Nokia 8800, this pimped up handsets boasts of 83 grams of platinum, which is used in making the veneers, 8 screws that hold the phone together and a diamond mount for the center button. Apart from the platinum, the phone's studded with 1,225 pink diamonds. The center diamond is a 3 carat single cut flawless one. Now the main and scary part (for poor guys like you and me), the phone will be your if you can shell out $160,000 and it will be shipped to you in a granite case with suave leather interiors. I guess once someone one buys this phone, he/she also needs to invest in some kind of security.

Vertu, a well known premium phone brand from Nokia has come up with a new range for its Constellation Collection.

Nokia recently announced its new phone for the elite, the Nokia 8800 Arte Gold. As the name suggests this phone features 18 carat gold plating, premium leather and stainless steel parts. This phone belongs to the gadget arsenal of the elite. Apart from this, the phone's slider mechanism works on precision ball bearings. Being a metallic phone, you might think that this one's a finger print magnet but now worries, Nokia has coated the phone with anti-finger print coating, which will reduce the smudges on your phone. Rest of the features include 3.2 mega pixel auto focus snapper with 4GB internal memory. The phone will be available in the year 2009. But hey wait, this phone won't be available in the whole wide world, Nokia will be launching it only in the select few markets of South East Asia. This is not the first gold Arte, Goldstriker came out with their own Gold Version of the Nokia Arte followed by a Swiss designer coming up with a Sapphire studded version of the Nokia 8800 Arte. Seems that Nokia 8800 Arte is a phone that every designer wants to customize in his/her own expensive ways.

Check out this new phone from Vertu to mark the 150th anniversary of the Boucheron Jewellery house in Paris. The phone you are seeing is not a reflection but the actually phone has been made to look like this. Now this is the best part, the phone is made from solid gold, which you would have already guessed by now. It took 1000 hours to make this phone look like this, 700 hours to hand polish it and 500 hours to hand build it. Looking at the phone it seems that someone has taken a Vertu phone made of solid gold and hit it with an axe n number of times. The phone will certainly cost a bomb but who will buy this phone man, by thinking of holding it, I am getting a weird feeling in my hand.

The first Vertu phone was launched by Nokia in the year 1998. Many of us don't know that Very is a Nokia brand and Nokia has always kept itself disconnected from its Vertu brand as Vertu is a uber-premium brand of mobile phones. This year, Vertu is celebrating its 10th anniversary. As a part of its 10th anniversary Vertu also launched its popular Constellation and classic Rococo collection of premium mobile phones. As a part of its 10th anniversary celebrations Vertu chose Michelle Yeoh as the person who signifies all qualities of the Vertu range of mobile phones. Michelle Yeoh, as you know is a popular Chinese actress who has acted in movies like, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Tomorrow Never Dies, Memoirs of a Geisha and many more. Like Vertu, Michelle signifies, finesse, class, strength and exquisiteness. Maybe that is the reason Michelle was the chosen by Vertu as its main protagonist of its print media campaigns. You can see Michelle posing with Vertu Rococo in the image above.
