Have $10,000 to blow on an Apple iPhone ???

image If you have an extra ten grand laying around, why not blow it on some bling?  The folks at http://www.athem.ch/collections/apple-iphone-3g.php will be happy to help you elevate yourself above the lowly masses with a diamond rimmed Apple iPhone 3G. 

According to the site, this is 3.75 carats in the worlds most sought after gem and mobile device. 

Why be everyday snuuty when you can be world class snuuty.  However, there’s no guarantee the diamonds will improve 3G signal reception and prevent dropped calls, nor will they automatically get you to the head of the line at TSA checkpoints.

Then again, if you have this phone, TSA checkpoints are probably a bad memory in your past.

I have no idea if the diamonds cut through the the current crop of leather, plastic or rubber cases.  But I would imagine the jeweler will be happy to make you a custom platinum and leather case.

received an email from Sam Mehta at the company that makes the phone.  

Dear Keith,

Thank you for the post.

Regarding the diamonds cutting through a case of any material including leather/plastic/silicon, "it can never happen".

Thanks,

Sam

He didn't mention anything about a custom case, but I'm sure someone somewhere will make one for you.

By the way Sam, if you are ever in Dallas and have one of these phones on you, let me know.  I'd love to take a few pictures of the real thing.  Looks gorgeous but the pictures on your website aren't particularly good.  You certainly can't tell how the diamonds are set.
