The 18-Carat Gold BlackBerry Torch Makes the Smartphone Even Smarter

With plenty of affordable intelligent cellphones on the market, what do you get when you're filthy rich? The 18-Carat Gold BlackBerry Torch!

Tricked out by Alexander Amosu, this luxury handheld device has a shiny new 38g golden sheath. It will soon be available in pink gold and rose, but if you've still got money to burn after this purchase, the mobile phone can even be custom-fit with diamonds. Including an international concierge, engraved logo and name personalization, with a matching python or crocodile case, the 18-Carat Gold BlackBerry Torch could be yours if you've got at over $12,000 at hand.
