While the intelligentsia of macnn where stressing their mental capabilities typing words like cheese and badger i had a nice stroll about the net and stumbled over this site.

They sell cellphone's! But they are not Nokia, no Sir! Be sure to dive into the configurator and check out the brushed 18 carat gold one! Only � 14,000!

Hmmm, but it doesn't appear to have bluetooth!
These people are Americans. Don't expect anything meaningful or... uh... normalcy...

LOL, true, but then with so much money to burn i wouldn't want to be bothered with too much sense anyway...

Its a Nokia in a fancy case. Considering that most people I know replace their mobiles every two years I can't see much of a market for it.

But maybe I'm just in the wrong income group

I saw this a few years ago.

I think it's part of Nokia isn't it. It's sort of like an Obsidian AmEx.

The point is that it's a concierge service for the stupidly rich rather than a phone.

Last I heard it was a division of Nokia.

Welcome to early 2002.

Yes, the guts are Nokia, a derivative of the 8000-series IIRC.

The scary thing is the phone itself isn't that good.
