They don't make them like this in the U.S. These crazy and beautiful phones are the Vertu phones created by Boucheron are going on sale in India. The phones feature ornate jeweled snakes, your choice of either a diamond-studded cobra or a python. Other phones in the Vertu Signature Diamond Collection come in gold and diamonds but only the Boucheron phones feature the snakes. The phone on the left is the limited edition Signature Cobra which sells for $350,000 and will only be cast in 8 pieces. I know, I know, it's wasteful, but wouldn't this be the ultimate phone to be carried by an villainess in a superhero movie?

What a shame that anyone would even think of spending $350k on a phone when there is a world of needy people. Victims of Katrina or Iraq or 9/11 charities could use it so much more.

No kidding, anyone who would buy a phone like that has more money than brains, and probably inherited their money.

Who the hell would pay $350,000 dollars for a cell phone? And a really ugly one at that. What's the point of having diamonds on your cell phone- God forbid you drop it. Fricking ridiculous..

Sorry but that ugly thing wouldnt be stolen by the street punks in the NY Subways! Ugly and a 350K waste that will be probably found in the bottom of a cops drawer of stolen phones that well...someone is probably too embarrassed to claim....YUCH!

I carry a cell phone mainly for business purposes. I actually hate the damn thing and if I didn't have to carry it to stay in touch with clients, I'd take a sledgehammer to it .. I can't imagine some idiot paying 350,000 for a cell phone !! Theres a sucker born every minute !!!!!

Wow I'm waiting till June for my "New in 2" deal from Verizon and people can actually spend close to the cost of my house for a cell phone???
How to justify that I'll never understand!
It really is an ugly phone too!
I think I'm gonna use my Bedazzler and make an ugly Tshirt to match it and see if some idiots will buy it!

Actually quite tasteless if you ask me. Not only is it hideous, but it is ridiculous to think that anyone would spend that kind of money on a cell phone.

That person with the 5000 dollar phone...yeah...who cares if a phone or anything of the sort is amazing! Most people would think that if they saw just the price tag...duh! That doesnt mean its necessary. And it would be even more amazing if someone could just give that much money to a bunch of people who really need it. It is better to give than to receive...try it...it will do wonders for you too!
