Piece Unique

By Desmond Carter

f your Blackberry is boring you and your RAZR seems redundant, you’re probably a good candidate for a new phone. If your bank account is bottomless, you may want to check out the Piece Unique mobile by GoldVish. This Switzerland-based luxury communications company makes extremely high-end cell phones that are packed full of features and studded with diamonds.

Their latest model, the Piece Unique, has taken things up a notch and garnered a few Guiness World Records in the process. The cool little phone costs €1-million, or USD $1.6-million. The production of these phones is extremely limited, making it not only the world’s most expensive cell phone, but the most exclusive as well. If you want a Piece Unique, you’ll have to specifically request GoldVish to manufacture one for you, as you can’t buy them in stores.

So what makes the phone so special? Diamonds, and plenty of them! This larva-shaped cell is completely chock full with the precious gems and comes in either gold (adorned with yellow diamonds) or silver (adorned with white diamonds). It’s long-and-slender shape makes it resemble a clutch and we assume it will be easy to grip on to while running away from burglars.

The Sapphire glass display offers up a markedly crisp and clear screen. The phone also acts as an MP3 player and features a camera as well. A few other standard features are also on the phone, but despite the alarming price-tag, it can’t wash your windows or call your dry cleaners for you. I'd expect more if I was going to shell out over a million bucks for a telephone, no?

So, if laying your digits on diamond after diamond while firing off text messages sounds appealing (and affordable), you may want to contact GoldVish yourself and look into obtaining your very own. Just remember that no matter how good the cell phone, you’ll still be plagued with those pesky service provider problems. At least with Le Million you’ll be able to say, “Can you hear me now? I’m rich, bitch.”
