World record set for most expensive mobile

While many people may feel that their mobile phone is a luxury item, a new phone form GoldVish surpasses all previous standards.

The World Records Academy has confirmed that a new mobile made from 18-carat white gold has entered the record books as the most expensive phone in the world at $1.3 million (£0.65 million).

Le Million by GoldVish is inset with 1.800 diamonds and was bought by a Russian businessman for his wife.

Sony Ericsson currently holds the world record for the largest mobile phone, for its scaled up version of the W810i standing at 2.5 metres.

Motorola also made the news in 2007 when climber Rob Baber made a call from the top of Mount Everest on a handset made by the mobile phone manufacturer, which sponsored his climb to the Himalayan peak.

The call was made at a height of 8.848 metres, with the mobile phone batteries remaining strapped to his body to ensure they were warm enough to operate, reported the BBC
