THE $1.3 MILLION ANCORT DIAMOND CRYPTO CELL PHONE

If you’re still working overtime to foot the bill for that iPhone 3G you recently purchased, then perhaps you should take a pass on the Diamond Crypto Cell phone. The latest phone from renowned Austrian accessory maker Peter Aloisson costs a hefty 1.3 million—that’s more than a Harry Winston diamond pendant, a Ferrari Enzo, and, well, many other things.

What could this cell phone possibly have that makes it cost more than your house, car and life savings combined? Well, it comes in white and pink gold embedded with 50 diamonds into the cover, for starters. Add in 10 blue diamonds, a gold case embellished with jewels, inlaid wood sides, hand engraved platinum keypad, and a navigation key constructed out of 18 carat rose gold, and you have yourself one expensive cell phone.

If you own a phone such as this one, chances are you’ve got some money to protect. Luckily, this small yet luxurious phone will also keep your conversations safe and your privacy intact using Crypto Telecommunication Security. This unique security, system makes it one of the most protected in the world; special screens, filers and protection methods are used to guard all non-encrypted information from leaking into the air—now that’s some serious security! In addition, the phone uses the Windows CE operating system features a high-resolution colour display, and can store up to 400 numbers in its memory.

 The verdict? While the Diamond Crypto phone sure is nice to look at, the only reason you should ever, ever consider buying one is if re-mortgaging your house is on your "Things To Do Before I Die" list.
