Cell Phones That Will Make You Look Rich

It’s fair to say that the vast majority of us are middle-class working people, time-clock punchers who take up space in the median, hoping to provide for our families as best we can. And it’s true that there are just certain things that are reserved for the very wealthy, things that most of us can never have – Rolls Royce, Dom Perignon, Picasso, Vail. It’s been said that every man’s home is his castle; those with their heads in the economic stratosphere say that every man’s home is a real castle, on a private island no less (the “summer home”).

An Economy of Scale

The flaunting of opulence, for the least modest of jet-setters, extends almost naturally to their cell phones. Putting in all in scale, it’s really not such an ostentatious display. Think about it – if you had a thousand dollars in the bank (drawing interest), and someone offered you a really nice cell phone for the low, low price of three dollars and twenty-five cents, wouldn’t you be awfully tempted to buy it? Of course you would.

Cell Phones of the Rich and Famous

That’s exactly the way a billionaire would look at the Goldstriker iPhone 3GS Supreme (by designer Stuart Hughes). It’s encrusted in solid gold, festooned with 200 diamonds including a 7.5 carat glacier on the “home” button, and works in 5 continents. (It also comes with a granite and Kashmir gold box.) $3.2 million. But why go crazy? For $1.3 million, your average oil company CEO could have the latest Diamond Crypto smart phone with its platinum body and 50 diamonds, including eight blue diamonds.

For the masses, who would like to be mistaken for being rich at least once in a while, there is a way to raise eyebrows at the meeting – the Gold Edition Nokia 8800. The gold-caped outlook casing is really the only difference between this beauty and the standard Nokia 8800 smart phone, but it’s no slouch, with 62,000-color TFT display, USB port, FM radio, Blue Tooth, video recording and Edge connectivity (among other features). At a very reasonable $2700, Nokia makes it so you don’t have to own a pro football team to stand on the communication sidelines, righ there alongside the rich and famous.
