Top 8 designer Phones in U.S. !!


According to CNN Money, top 8 bling bling phones in U.S are

1. Prada KE850
LG; $800
LG has teamed up with fashion mega-brand Prada and added its own designer cell phone to the ranks of the mobile elite. Conveniently released amidst iPhone buzz and legal troubles, the LG KE850 will now be the first touch screen interface cell phone on the market, available in Europe in February 2007.

2. Signature Cobra
Vertu; $310,000
Vertu is now taking orders (but only 8 of them) for the Signature Cobra, designed by French jeweler Boucheron. The Cobra features one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. A somewhat cheaper version - the $115,000 Signature Python - is ruby-free. But you better buy now: Vertu says only 26 Pythons will be made.

3. Crystal Icing Sidekick
T-Mobile; $260-$600
T-Mobile partnered with designer Crystal Icing to help boost sales of the new Sidekick III. Celebrities like Paris Hilton and Kimberly Stewart have gushed over these customized handsets adorned with Swarovski crystals - and helped make the flagship Sidekick cool.

4. Constellation
Vertu; $4,350
This stainless-steel, leather-encased phone boasts a sapphire crystal display, a laser-etched keypad and basic features like Bluetooth, messaging, and an audio/video player. It's also the cheapest phone Vertu sells.

5. Serene
Samsung; $1,275

6. Mister Cartoon & Juicy Couture Sidekicks
