Here we go again with another diamond-encrusted handset.

This diamond encrusted Nokia N95 has been designed and developed by Continental Mobiles with a retail price of £10,000 ($20,000).

The handset features a smooth Sterling silver front panel that has been festooned with 4.42 carat of brilliant-cut, VS1 quality, naturally mined diamonds.

Even a $52,000 Gresso Royal White Diamonds seems tame compared with the 8800 Arte from Austrian designer Peter Aloisson. The luxury Nokia phone is posh to begin with, featuring designer ringtones and wallpapers and an 18-karat white gold finish.

Encased in more than 680 pink and white brilliant-cut diamonds–sparing only the screen and slide-out keyboard–the embellished phone is a marvel. It goes for a cool 85,000 euros ($134,000)!
