    The $26,000 "My Dior" Cellphone

    For the idiot who has everything comes the latest in unbridled extravagance: fashion house Christian Dior is set this month to launch of line of luxury cellphones costing a ridiculous amount of money. The phone will come in two versions, a "basic" one for $5,000, and a "Lady Dior" one for $26,000. The latter's pricetag is justified by 640 stones and 3,251 carats of Swarovski crystals embedded in a crocodile skin sheath. Both models will feature touchscreens, integrated media player, bluetooth, blah blah blah, but they do have one actual innovation. The phone comes with a "My Dior," a USB key-sized version of the main cellphone that communicates with the mothership cellphone via Bluetooth and clips to the outside of a bag. Christian Dior says this way you don't have to go digging through your purse to find your phone. We think it would also come in handy if you don't have time to set up a full security perimeter every time you want to make a call. More »
