Kind of old news... saw this about 5-7 days ago at Gizmodo,etc.

Who comes up with this crap?

 

[ckthecerealkiller]

(color F whatever that means)

A quick google search would tell you that "color F" stands for Flawless color, or completely colorless....

 

[rbarone69]

I wonder if all that gold would cause the phone to not work? So much metal...

Just imagine if you dropped it the dent it would leave. Chip off a diamond and that would be costly!

Dont get me wrong, I understand... It's supposed to be a... how do you say... "work of art"... but it just not my style.

What happens to the precious Iphone when it is "old technology"? Expensive paperweight?

It may very well have been laziness on the part of the author to not look up what "color F" stands for, but I read it as a tongue-in-cheek dig at how ludicrously expensive this gadget is. The people who would buy this phone are the people who buy the recommended processors and video cards in the "Past the point of reason" sections. "More money than sense" comes to mind as well...

On the other hand, I wish I could afford this stuff! I don't think I'd mind having more money than sense for a change.

F is in the Colorless scale but D is the least amount of color. Flawless is in the Clarity category and I'm guessing if they didn't bother to go D they certainly didn't go for FL on the clarity. Maybe VS2 at the best as it takes magnification to see any flaws at that grade. Pretty weak at the price they are asking.

iGrenade v5.0! Now with diamonds!

 

[Camikazi]

Somehow I just knew it was an iPhone.

 

[nicklasd87]

given the rarity of this, i wouldn't be surprised if it actually increases in value, despite its uselessness in the future...not to mention it is still gold and diamonds...those don't depreciate in value usually...I guess a positive spin on this is the most useful piece of jewelry you could buy...of course if you are in a 3g capable area and ATT hasn't gone out of business

Gold is SOFT the more pure it is , that thing is going to fall apart really easy , especially if its dropped.
