Blinged Out Nokia N95

At the risk of offending what we would hope to be a minority of our readership, yet again we have another blinged out otherwise fairly humdrum gadget designed, it would seem, to bolster the fragile egos of those who we cannot help but feel have such shallow lives that all they can do is define themselves according to their wealth but who, in so doing, only serve to display a abject lack of style and taste and a distinct absence of self-worth.

We apologise to those of you staring at the above image who happen to be overcome by desire, but really, at the end of the day, this is just a Nokia N95 cell phone dressed in a fancy (albeit expensive) ball gown. Period.

Thankfully, this diamond encrusted 8GB N95 from Amosu is an exclusive limited edition as this, and the price tag of £12,000, will act to limit – to the tune of 10 - just how many of these monstrosities circulate amongst us.

Still, if you have £12K burning a whole in your pocket and you feel the need to display your wealth in a wholly tacky fashion we don’t doubt that this blinged out gadget will fit the bill perfectly whilst reassuring the rest of us that, whilst you may well be doing ok for yourself, there really is no accounting for taste.

Alternatively, you could spend a little time checking out just what you can buy for this sort of money that will genuinely make us mere mortals swoon (personally, we’d opt for the experience of exceeding Mach 1 in a fighter jet for a comparable fiscal outlay).

Perhaps it’s me, but it would seem that the very idea of bling is rapidly mutating into a hideous, grotesque parody of itself?
