Nokia's Gold Rush

Due Credit: Sanyedesign, Luxurylaunches
My! Oh! My! What we have here. Gold Rush! I do not have to explain the gold rush to Aussies, since its in their history. But this gold rush is somewhat totally unique.

Designing cell phones isnt what it used to be in few years back. Where cell phone makers used to compete only with other phone makers, and now do battle with handheld devices, multimedia players, GPS systems, cameras, PDAs and who knows what else. And on top of all that, they must deal with the fashion designers who have fallen in love with gold handsets.

Nokia is the latest to join the gold rush with the "Diamond Edition" of its 8800 Sirocco, a luxury version from Germanys Sanyedesign that adds a 24k gold case to its 2-megapixel camera, MP3 player and 100MB built-in memory.


Only 1,000 of them will be available, so they'll be even more exclusive than the gold Dolce & Gabbana Razr, which goes for a mere $300. The Diamond Sirocco, according to Luxurylaunches, is selling for more than 10 times that sum in some auctions on eBay. At that rate, it could give the PS3 a run for its money.

i used to be so blase about my phone up until i got a nokia 6101 when it first came out, then i experienced a transformation in being wildly interested in phones.

i recently got a motorola k1 but am finding it not as user friendly as the nokia.

however, this phone is beautiful and very bling!

Adriene-yes i figured 18k Gold will impress a lot of people.

Stanly i had experianced with motorolla, i never find it user friendly, it's always so limited.

In my opinion i like to go for SonyErickson or Samsung, as Nokia is so as usual. No one can beat SE's sound quality and Samsung's picture resolution. Always one step ahead of Nokia.
