The question is simple: what will you do with a $26,000 blackberry? And what happens if that BB is decorated with Diamond. Alexander Amosu, Nigerian-born but United Kingdom based jeweler and fashion designer has unveiled a $26,000 black diamond Blackberry.
We do not know if RIM is aware of this gorgeous redesign of their product, but it does not matter. We have not seen this device and of course not touched it. Some friends in London we called to confirm if it was only the packaging that was Diamond did not work out as none has seen it. Yet, they confirmed that it was real.
This phone has 18 carat black gold and was made with more than 1,400 little diamonds weighing about 15cts VVS1. There is an option to put your name on the case or even your logo.
