Diamond encrusted iPhone - it was only a matter of time

How do you improve on the iPhone? Add 3G? GPS? Maybe some A2DP Bluetooth support?
Nope. Apparently, you encrust your Apple iPhone in about $40,000 worth of diamonds. Amosu’s gone and slathered the iPhone with 420 diamonds, totalling 5.65 carats and set in 18k white or yellow gold, with a choice of white, black or pink sapphires. They are pushing their Diamond iPhone as the “the first diamond Apple iPhone.” It was just a matter of time before the diamond-encursted-mobile-phone craze hit the iPhone.
If you just gotta have the latest and greatest, covered in diamonds and tackiness, rummage through your couch for some spare change - you’re going to need it. This sucker costs $41,225.

Why do they always use the word “encrust”?
The only “encrusting” I ever encounter is that weird crust of my girlfriend’s underwear.
I don’t have a girlfriend. I live in my parent’s basement.

[...] "Regular" diamond entrusted iPhone not good enough for you? How about the one designed by Austrian luxury designer and jeweler Peter Aloisson? His iPhone design has between 318 and 320 diamonds, with 138 of them being encrusted with the so called princess cut (the rest of the 180 diamonds are brilliant cut). In total, all diamonds on the iPhone weigh 16.50 – 17.75 carats and are set in 18k white gold. In other words, 120,000 EUR is a bargain when you think how much value you get… or not! [...]
