If you have to ask... $310,000. The Vertu signature "Cobra" phone is a little more special than what you're using. The phone is encrusted with a cobra of diamonds, rubies and emeralds.
Implications - To go into the specifics, SlashPhone.com says that it contains one pear-cut diamond, a round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. So you're pretty much getting blinged out from left to right. The gems are encrusted in a curvy shape for more of a classy sexy look. If you can't afford the $310,000 one, there's actually a cheaper version -- for $115,000 that is.
The Signature Cobra is currently limited to eight, with an additional 26 that will be produced for those who are willing to purchase it.
