Rumor has it Brad Pitt and David Beckham own one of these luxurious phones. Vertu manufactures the most exclusive phones in the world, and this time the company didn't hold anything back when creating the Signature Diamond Collection. While most of us bling our phones with Swarovski crystals, others simply want real diamond handsets. 

Vertu's Signature Diamond Collection consists of handsets made of 18 carat yellow or white gold set with pave diamonds, as well as a platinum handset set with a .25 carat solitaire diamond. Each handset takes craftsmen a total of seven days to complete because they set over 700 diamonds by hand. They're only producing 200 phones, which will be sold exclusively in select jewelry stores.

But what about actual features? It doesn't have a camera or take video, but it has the ability to send text messages, record voice memos, has enough memory for 1,000 contacts, alarm clock and PC synchronization. It may not be the most cutting edge handset on the streets, but it certainly is the most expensive one.

    Beckham, maybe(?) but would Brad be so shallow? I doubt his conscience would let him actually buy this phone.
