New Nokia Oro...

Introducing the limited edition Nokia Oro! 18 carat gold, sapphire crystal and hand wrapped leather: http://nokiaoro.com/

With gold spot price over USD 1,500/Toz. nowadays, I wonder who's buying into the gold plated phone idea?

The phrase "Polishing a turd" does spring to mind with this one. It's not even an attractive handset IMO

Never underestimate the number of people out there that are willing to buy overpriced crap (this device is just a C7/Astound in a fancy trim) in an attempt to differentiate themselves from the proletariat. 'Normal' smartphones are accessible to almost everyone these days, so a device like this enables people to indulge in conspicuous consumption.

Thorstein Veblen would have had a field day with something like this.
