Amosu is known for "luxurizing" popular handsets, such as iPhone, LG Prada, Nokia N95 and Sony Ericsson W880i.

Its latest creation, the Motorola RAZR2 V8 Luxury Diamond Edition is produced in a quantity of five, and costs a whole fortune.

So unless you're a millionaire get yourself the original V8.

Luxury phones serve more as a sign of prestige than a mere phone. Here's another one, the special edition of Motorola RAZR2 . It has the same specs as the original, but comes in a fake snake skin cover, with 18 K and 24 K gold plated framing and accents.

The new take on the Motorola RAZR2 is wrapped in a fake snake skin-like exterior, with 18 K and 24 K gold plated framing and accents.

Vertu doesn't seem to stop updating its luxury Signature line of mobile phones.

Remember the previous version retailed for $6,628? Well, that was for beginners.

The new model is actually a budget phone (for millionaires) and comes in white gold finish with more than 1,000 embedded black and white diamonds.

To celebrate Ferrari's 60th birthday Ferrari and Vertu came up with another stylish cell phone model.

The new Ferrari handset is available in Black & Red color scheme, and comes in a luxurious black box, packaged along with a valve from a Ferrari Formula One car. :)

In other words: just a thing for rich Ferrari fans.

The new Samsung SGH-P520 Armani phone, mentioned earlier on our site , was recently presented at Milan Fashion week.

However, its release turned out underwhelming, as its design offers nothing new and similar looking handsets already exist on the market. Tough luck, Samsung...

Nevertheless, both companies announced they would continue their collaboration and release other electronics under the Armani nameplate.

Gresso, a Russian design house, presented its two luxury mobile phones, Luna and Sol, designed for the rich. Both feature a 200-year-old African black wood finish and come with a scratch-resistant titanium keypad and backing. In addition, Sol's keypad is finished with gold Roman numbers. The navigation key on both handsets is also painted gold.

Nokia today presented their new Nokia 8600 Luna luxury phone made of chrome, stainless steel and titanium.
The design is truly outstanding. The phone's case comprises nearly opaque smoked glass with unique, soft-touch stainless steel, and there is a gentle keypad illumination pulsating while waiting for a call.

Nokia 8600 is a quad-band GSM handset featuring a micro-USB port, a large, bright display and a 2Mpix camera.

Nokia has introduced their new Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold.

This phone has a truly glamourous design featuring an 18-karat gold plating with white gold accents and the sapphire-coated scratch-resistant glass display. Nokia 8800 comes equipped with a 2Mpix hi-res camera, a color screen (up to 262K colors), an ergonomic keypad, and a multitude of messaging functionalities.

The Hulger's Ziricote Luxury Wooden Phone looks really great. Though it is a slider phone most of major functions, except dialing, are available without needing to slide out the keypad. Another cool thing here is when you flip the phone over, it actually looks like a camera.

This phone is in the concept phase and probably will not be released in mass production. Though it would be nice see one of these produced.
