Would You Pay Almost $60,000 For A Cell Phone?

[Quellist]

Not even if i had several Billion pounds to spare.

Eh, it's no different to an expensive car, or as that guy said, a watch. I've always been the logical sort, so I wouldn't buy this, or a "nice" car, nor indeed anything that sells itself on it's brand. Still, it's a great idea. This guy just made a lot of money.

 

[Ovoon]

For the Eden of The East Celecao phone? YES I WOULD.

 

[Realitycrash]

Hell, I wouldn't pay more than $60.

Pretty much this. Damn things break when you throw them at things anyway.

 

[GeorgW]

I wouldn't buy that even if I had the money, it looks awful. That 5 million dollar iPhone looked a lot better, but I wouldn't buy that either. It's an iPhone...

I will never understand my species love of shiny stuff. Gold is a worthless metal. To soft to build with heck pure gold can be bent by the thumb and forefinger of a child. It has no real use what so ever outside being shiny. Steel is shiny and it can be useful. Heck gold has to be mix with something to hold a shape.

I will truely never understand humans well other human. I don't really understand me eaither all well.

Just because it's worthless in Minecraft, it doesn't mean it's worthless in real life:

I do agree, however, that using all that gold just to make things expensive and expensive looking is a waste. I wouldn't buy it even if I had the money.

When I saw the title my first thought was "So they announced the iPhone 5 price"...

no because you can get a nice car for 50 grand (cheaper than that phone) and it still be
a) significantly better than cheaper cars
b) have valid reasons for its price ( such as styling,speed,mpg etc)

But the phone is far cheaper than a ferrari. I'm talking about it on a scale, not as a direct comparison. And the phone is stylish, to some I'm sure.

 

[Nouw]

Pfft that looks like a terrible phone. I'd much rather buy a gold cover for an existing hand-held device.

 

[Hamish Durie]

sweet it'll go with my solid gold toliet

I will give it has use but the only one of those that is not a given use. Like how paper money is useful only becuase we all agree it is useful. Is it's ability to be highly conductive for electronics.

 

[Frostbite3789]

Only if it gives blowjobs and prints money.

And shoots shurikens and lightning.

Did everyone after you really drop the ball? Well, I'll pick it up I s'pose.

Also, it has to have tits and be on fire.

OT: Just...the amount of money you have to have to make this purchase without a second thought is straight up obscene. Like, have your own island already, obscene.

 

[Waaghpowa]

Imagine if it were made by Apple, they would release a newer, ever so slightly better version for the same price later in the year.

Oh, gold has more uses than that, mainly in circuitry.

 

[Derelict Frog]

Reminds me of Yusuf Amir from "The Ballad of Gay Tony". Badass.

 

[K_Dub]

Fact: You have WAY too much disposable income (and are probably a douche bag) if you even consider buying this phone.

 

[Something Amyss]

It looks gross. I'd rather have an iPhone.

Which is about as overpriced. BOOYAH!

Anyway, I think Aerosmith said it best: EAT. THE. RICH.

 

[redisforever]

Nah. This is my phone here: http://www.mobiledia.com/phones/images/sonyericsson/z710i.jpg
I think it cost about $100, maybe. Best phone ever.

 

[ssgt splatter]

It looks nice but that's about it.
