Would you like some diamonds with that Pearl?
You know the drill…and this diamond-encrusted BlackBerry Pearl is no exception. Sure, it’s outdated technology, especially given the fact that it’s a soon to be outdated 8100, and sure you could probably drop $90,000 in more socially responsible ways, but it’s just…so….shiny. To our credit, not only do you get a boatload (900 stones, 12 carats to be exact) of tiny diamonds, but you also get a bit of 18k white gold as well. We’re now on the lookout for that special BGR edition, diamond-encrusted BlackBerry 9xxx with OS 4.5. Stay tuned!
looks like something friggin britney spears or ryan seacreast would waste the money on.
This phone looks like a bunch of bullcrap.
Well, that’s actually the 8120, which isn’t even available in the US yet.
Still a complete waste of money, though.
Engadget has had this story like 5 days ago. Slow story. I expect more from boygenius.
Should’ve done the red part in rubys. Tsk, tsk, just tacky.
What is considered a “waste of money” is all relative to how much money you have. Someone that tries to make it on minimum wage would say that spending their hard earned cash on a BlackBerry and paying data is a waste of money because they don’t have it to spend. Someone that doesn’t have $90,000 in play money would think that this is a waste. But, I have enough money to easily afford a BB and data, so its no big deal. Just like if I had enough money to get a lavish piece of hardware it too would not be a big deal. I don’t like diamonds though, but if I had the cash I can see forking over this much money as an accessory piece.
Would have looked better on standard black vs the red.
@Chuch the 8120 is availabe in the US Suncom is the only carier that sells them but that phone looks like a T-mobile 8100 and I don’t see the spot on the side for the micro-SD card.
so 6 days ago on on engadgete and crackberry and pinstack sart raiding http://www.slashdot.org
im beta testing warz than ar more interesting than this
@jdh
This is the 8120 genius. You can tell because of the buttons to the left and right of the trackball … they are taller than the 8100. And the card slot is on the other side not shown in the picture. Its on the side with the data/charge port.
To MR Cox I stand corrected its not the 8100. But Suncom does sell the 8120.
What, no real pearl for the trackball?
Are you sure this wasn’t custom made for Sean Diddy Combs?
Keep on Crackin’,
