10 Most Expensive Mobile Phones In The World

5. Vertu Signature Cobra - $310,000

There are plenty of people out there who'd get an old-school Nokia just so they could have Snake on it. But in 2006 Vertu - whose phones seem to get more repulsive the more expensive they get - got the wrong end of the stick with that information, when they stuck a ruby cobra on a knock-off Nokia 7250. The cobra is made up of 439 rubies, one pear-cute diamond, one... Do we even need to go into the details any more? It's loaded up with a whole load of expensive stones that belong in Scooge McDuck's vault, not on a phone that looks like it's been time-machined from 2001. Mercifully, only 8 models of the phone were ever made. To top of all that's wrong about this device, it doesn't even have Snake or Snake II on it. A missed opportunity on a phone with a goddam cobra on it...
