Iphone for £93,000

Steve_runner · 22-03-2008, 08:18

From todays Telegraph:

"An Iphone encrusted with 318 diamonds is to go on sale for £93,000. The Princess Plus is the work of Peter Aloisson, a designer and jeweller.
It derives its name from the princess cut used on 138 of the diamonds. The first customer is a Russian businessman who pre-ordered it in October last year."

Hope he can afford the £35 a month tariff.......

I don't think it was an iPhone, I saw this story in lost of papers last week, it was an ipod shuffle.

Definately an Iphone in the Telegraph. Anyway, I would only pay £50,000 for a diamond encrusted shuffle.

Even if you hate the phone surely you'd get it for £269 with diamonds... if only to sell it on!

Seriously, why do people have such a resentment to the iphone? If you don't like it you don't like it - why does it bother you so much?

I dont hate it, I dont like that apple have made it apple's way or no way (apart from obvious hacking unkocking etc)

And iphone fans ( not youself) that are obviously deluded and claim it to be the best phone ever.

Most people have a delusion by even thinking there is a "best phone ever". A phone is for the individual, people would do well to remember that. The iphone for me is perfect there is no other handset on the market that is as good for me! We don't all look for the same things though... the fanboys could remember that

I'm not sure how this is any different from Sharp having an exclusive tie in with Vodafone a few years back

Well you weren't forced to activate Sharp phones by downloading Sharp software whether you wanted it or not.

You weren't forced to pay for the Sharp phones.

If you took a Sharp phones you weren't forced to take a tariff that was dire compared to regular tariffs. Thankfully O2 addressed that pretty sharpish.

Steve_runner · 23-03-2008, 08:40

Nice to see the usual suspects hijacked the thread.

Guys, yes we know you like/don't like the Iphone.

Now go play elsewhere......

except the tariffs at no point were "dire" - £45 per month for 600 minutes, 600 texts, free evening weekends and unlimited internet. That's anything but dire, ironically, and you will know, i always thought until recently that orange were quite literally scamming the hell out of their customers in regards to tariffs, but that's my opinion.

i dont get the problem in paying for the iphone, your getting an ipod touch plus a phone. It's not like just getting a phone for free on a contract, because it's a standalone object which is actually an entire other product if not even used as a phone. It replaces the need to buy an ipod - i really dont see the problem in having up an upfront charge for the luxury

dont get me wrong, i hate apple, i just happen to have fallen in love with the iphone, i ended up with one by accident basically, plus they have knocked £10 off the tariffs pretty much, so thats even better news

i still dont get why people think the phone is lacking so many things, im pretty confident at least 50% of the people who dont like it havent even touched one. after five months, everyone i come who comes into contact with mine still plays with it like theyve never seen it before, i cant think of any other phone that actually captures people attention as much

lol, reminds me of Grubers point:

There’s a whole class of recent switchers who define “Apple fanboy” as “anyone who’s been an enthusiastic Mac user since before I switched to the Mac”.

*Applauds that man*!

There are a few on this site, mainly stuck in their ways PC users, who just cannot accept anything outside their small worlds, they do themselves a dis-service by not being willing to open their minds, they just automatically dismiss anything with an Apple logo, its weird!
