If plain and simple luxury is not enough to satisfy you, we suggest something truly regal. Take the all new Luxury Edition Royal Crown iPhone case for instance. This one is indeed a super rich beauty to behold. Indeed meant for those who do not shy from flaunting bling, this case makes for a very full-on luxurious choice, if you know what we mean!

There is a heart shaped artificial but glittering crystal on its front face that draws all the attention for it is surrounded by sparkling Swarovski crystals all over forming a heart shape. Plus there is a very royal looking crystal studded crown on top of the heart shaped crystal that sort of seals the regal exuberance for you.

This one has been done up in a shiny rust yellow gold color (please read carefully, this isn’t the real precious metal), and the luxury case is actually quite affordable too. At just $180, you can provide a very luxurious abode to your favorite cellphone, all this while being a class apart. Can you think of a better deal than this?

Somewhere in the future it is almost certain that humans will get bionic and will have all sort of weird stuff embedded into them both out of necessity and just for the heck of it. Looking cool will take a whole new meaning then, but till the getting a glittering new finger that can control your world is the in-thing, the Finger Touching Concept phones lets you play with the bionic idea. You need not get the Finger Touching phone implanted into your skin as it can just be strapped on to your wrist and from then on you can ‘talk to the hand!’

The phone uses a digital hologram that projects the keypad onto your fingers and uses the knuckles as separators. So the next time you need to text, you better be pretty good with shuffling between the knuckles. Once you place a call then just hold the phone to your head in the well known ‘call me’ style and you are good to go.

Now if you could only turn the strap into an uber-cool glove that comes loaded with laser beams which can cut through anything… When you are building castles in air, why not make them spectacular (and Star Wars –styled)

Signs of the recession lifting up have been a huge welcome, even in the luxury market. Well this moolah-related happening has given a reason to most brands to go real wild and creative on their theme-based luxe products. Take Mobiado for instance, this Canadian mobile phone maker has just created the the 350 Pioneer to join the space-themed luxury phone by Vertu.

We are told that 350 Pioneer has a body that’s been machined from none other than spacecraft aluminum with clear anodizing to achieve an exclusive and hard surface. Once this is done, the maker inlaid the frame with sapphire crystals as well as an infrared window made from a single piece of ruby crystal.

The phone has buttons made from combinations of sapphire crystal and stainless steel. There are gold-plated stainless steel screws too. So far, they have decided to make only 37 units since it symbolises the number of years that Pioneer 10 spacecraft has been traveling through space. Among othere features, you can enjoy multimedia capabilities, a 3.2 megapixel camera, a 2.36″ 16 million colors display as well as an integrated GPS, and Bluetooth and micro USB connectivity.

The Motorola Aura has been on the top of the news for a whole bagful of reasons. We heard about the grand presentation by none other than David Beckham and then there was Amosu waving it’s bling-y wand on the mobile to create some cheezy but luxe versions for the same. And this time, it is the Diamond Edition of the phone that is making heads turn. Designed with the sole motivation to outshine every other phone in the league, this one is a sight to behold with its 18 carat goldplating.

Not just that, some 34 sparkling diamons line the circular display of the phone (something like what Amosu did but we prefer the new pattern a wee bit more). The mobile phone is a real show stopper.

Even the technological strappings are very sound. The Motorola Aura Diamond Edition has a quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity along with other features like CrystalTalk technology, stereo Bluetooth, music and video playback support. There is a 2 megapixel camera that can go ballistic with the 2GB of internal memory. There is no 3G connectivity. The price tag reads $5,700.

Joonho Choi has been inspired by the yin and yang energies. The cellphone device consists of two parts, which are connected by retractable or stretchable cord. The cellphone doubles up as a medium to entertain the user too. It doubles up as an MP3 player and triples as a small camera. The concept phone can also convert data to share with friends and associates. When the two parts are split, or rather when you pull the cord connecting the two pieces away, one part can still work as a phone while the other can work as an MP3 player.

The three-in-one phone would have its share of admirers once it is out in the market. At least, that what its pictures promise.

Love it or hate, but you can’t ignore it. We mean brand Vertu that has a great liking for blinging up mobile phones for those seeking luxury and style. It’s agreed that some of the designs are over the top and so are their price tags. But the fact remains that Vertu has a very strong line of loyalists. And it is for them alone that the brand has released the new Constellation Ayxta.

Keeping true to the Vertu tradition as witnessed in the Ascent, Signature and the current Constellation version, the Ayxta too flaunts the finest craftsmanship ever seen. There is a leather trim too with a round the clock access to the company’s concierge service from any place in the world.

The Ayxta phone also packs in a 3 megapixel camera complete with the flash option as well as an 8 gig micro SD slot and 3G wireless connection. The price tag hits the roof cast between $6,500 and $8,500. Most of us would disagree with it but the esteemed Vertu clientele would understand that the cost of a Vertu masterpiece is priceless. Touche!

In sync with its limited edition tag, the signature piece will cost $ 590, or 400 Euros that is. If you want it at the stores near you in Asia, the launch date is October 29. Only 1,000 pieces will be made, so if you have the money, and like it, go grab it. It will be released only in Singapore. Recession is receding. Fashion splurge is on the surge. As an added bit, the N97 mini will have a Fashion Asia widget for the package.

Buyers of this product will also receive a complimentary Gold membership fo RAOUL, with a 25 Euros credit. The credit can be used for their next buy in RAOUL boutiques. Approach Nokia Singapore if you want to buy it in advance.

Imitation is the best form of flattery they say. But not always, is what we say. Take the Vertu Signature Boucheron phone for instance. This $310,000 worth limited edition piece has got itself a cheap rip-off. The out-of-reach phone has now been made available (and not in a good way) to all at a very low price of $700. After all, it isn’t the original piece that we all fell in love with instantly.

The duplicate Vertu Boucheron tries to impersonate the original in every possible way, of course minus the class and elegance characteristic to the handset. There are no real diamond or rubies but cheap stones that try to remain as close they can to the real play of colors.

The features include 262k true color, TFT display, and GPRS/WAP capability. The impersonator can also be used as an MP3 music player and an MP4 video player. A tacky phone out and out. We do not recommend this because we do not believe in encouraging piracy. It is original all the way for us!

The Formula 1 is at its peak. And the luxury world is doing everything it can to celebrate its spirit. After all, there aren’t too many sports that are referred to as the rich man’s (oops, person’s) game. This time around it is the Russian manufacturer of luxury mobile phones Gresso that has been inspired by F1 racing.

The newest release from the brand has been dubbed Gresso Grand Monaco. And we are told that it has been molded out of the materials related to the world of racing. For instance, a titanium super alloy has been used as well as a hi-tech ceramic and carbon. Even steel and hand-polished 42 K sapphire crystal has been used for framing the display.

The flat keypads on the phone look stylish while the GSM/GPRS/EDGE keeps you connected. Plus there is a 2 megapixel camera and Bluetooth technology as well. Confident to score with all Formula 1 fans, this mobile phone has quoted its price at $2,100. Anything remotely related to the famous sport comes with a hefty price tag. Wotsay!

Recent surveys have revealed that iPhone is enjoying a good reign as the most popular mobile device in the tech-savvy Japan. And there is an ultra-luxe item which is being made available to mark the occasion. One of the major cell phone providers in the country, Softbank has just launched the Japan Texture Special Edition mobile accessory for iPhone which is really an attempt to bring a distinct Japanese flavor to the widely successful gadget that almost everybody owns or wants to own.

The new collection has mobiles fitted in lacquer cases that play five different designs each paying homage to the days of samurais and shoguns. In fact, the elegant presentation cases by themselves look nothing short of a work of art.

And at that point, let us tell you that ironically the Japan Texture Special Edition cases cost far more than the smartphone itself. The current price tag reads $1,057, which is huge. Some might wonder about its success in the recession recovering Japan, but hey, the folks here are never heard of compromising on trends and fashion…no matter what!
