While Vertu's last entry on this list was intriguing in a "look at me. I'm such a bigshot" kind of way, this phone defies all reason. They actually expect people to pay 50 grand for a non-smartphone? Clearly yes, because the Red Gold Black DLC is the priciest in a whole collection of expensive-stone-encrusted phones that probably have less functionality than your old Nokia 3310 (the interface actually looks like it's based on an old Nokia). The high price tag comes from the 18-carat red gold elements on the phone. In fairness, it's not an awful-looking device, and it has a ceramic cushion for your ear which, I guess, prevents you from getting ear-ache. It also comes with the usual Vertu array of Concierge services, which go some way (a few thousand dollars) towards compensating for the fact that your phone is a functionally useless piece of crap.
