$19,000 US dollars!

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhuanet) -- A luxury cell phone with a price as high as 160,000 yuan, or over 19,000 US dollars, has appeared in Hangzhou, capital of southeast China's Zhejiang Province.

Only 500 of this model have been made, and eight of them went to the Chinese market. CRIENGLISH.com reported Friday.

The cell phone has a super tough sapphire crystal display, a titanium body, platinum decoration and an edging of the finest leather.



I went to Neiman Marcus today and saw it at the store :1orglaugh the ones there were a diff model tho ranging from 3-6k

China ?

like 1% of their population could afford that phone, oh wait, that would be like 1 million people

Better make that 0.01%

and I bet mine works just as well.

yeah mine owrks just as well. I dont need a phone like that lol

Actually 1% of China's population would be like 12 million people.

the new nokia's are probably a lot better in terms of what they can actually do

It's looks damn good !

7+% of chinese people make nice money and are rich.

LIAR! ;)
That's not the most expensive cell phone. Vertu produced it, but it's a model with dimamonds on it. Def. >50k

What a waste of money.

7% seems pretty high.

Yep.. I saw that one too.. was gonna say the same thing...

no need to have expensive cell as long as you can receive some important messages and call :thumbsup

Ill take three

I have it from a friend who is studying chinese and right now he is even there for 1 year.

fyi, "Vertu" is the luxury subsidiary of Nokia. Most of their phones come with vip concierge (like a luxury "infone") & GPS/LoMo services. Plus the phone technology can be upgraded so the hardware doesn't need to be replaced often.

China has their fair share of rich folks. Especially in Shenzhen, a miracle city, a fastest growing city in the world, a city grow from nothing to the best showcase in China

Back Ordered doh. :thumbsup

just imagine losing that cellphone. even for a day, you'd be freaking out.

who can afford to buy it, can afford to lose it...:)

looks pretty big to me.

i bet its harder to phone people on than a normal phone, bloody mobiles

its a fuckin waste of cash

Bling Bling

it better massage your balls and swallow for that much!
