Goldvish “Le million” = $1,000,000 (£540,540)

A PR stunt it may be, and they surely can’t be expecting to sell any, but the Goldvish “Le million” is officially the most expensive mobile phone in the world, according the Guiness Books of Records. There’s even been talk of a $1.3million phone, but this has fewer diamonds than the Goldvish so I can’t see where the extra expense comes from! The “Le million” is a one off, featuring a blinding 120 carats worth of VVS-1 grade diamonds, according to designer Emmanuel Gueit. If $1 million is out of your price range. the Geneva-based Goldvish also offer several other diamond-encrusted 18k gold models in your choice of rose, yellow, or white, starting at a much more reasonable $25,600 (£13,837).

Perhaps being the owner of the same phone for the past 4 years has made me see other phones in a new light…kind of similar to when husbands and wives oogle at other people! Candy bar form factor is the only type of phone I’ve ever used so to myself, I would consider form factors; “Slide”, “Flip”, “Flick” & “Swivel”…yes, all 4! Sexy! Forget the entertainment value of a Nokia N95. We’re talking full on cosmetic value.

Personally, I think it’s a hard choice between the two phones I blogged not too long ago, Samsung U900 Soul and the Nokia 8800 Arte.

What phones would you define as the most ’sexy’?
