We liked the Black Diamond because it's one of the hottest designs we've ever seen. Now we have confirmation that the phone will enter into production AND we have a price tag. The catch: it'll run you $300,000. That's a lot for a phone that isn't actually encrusted with diamonds. Production will be limited th just 5 units per year. This phone is powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 with a 2-inch displa and 400MHz XScale processor. The phone also includes Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 128MB of memory, an SD memory slot, and touch-sensitive keys.
