Have way too much money? Buy a Dior phone!
by Greg Kumparak on May 21, 2008

If you’re on the market for a phone that costs more than a down payment on a Honda and does nothing other phones can’t, luxury clothing retailer Christian Dior has the phone for you!

Jumping on the mobile bandwagon with rival luxury lines Prada, TAG Heuer, and Dolce & Gabana , Dior has announced their own cellular offering. With the base price of the phone set at around $5,500 bucks, I’m willing to wager we won’t be getting a review unit.

What does $5,500 bucks get you? The device’s touchscreen and camera certainly don’t cost that much, so what’s the killer feature? Surely, it must do something incredible. Something other phones simply can’t. Get this: It comes with a second, miniature phone. This mini-phone, branded My Dior, connects to the main phone in case it’s ever just out of reach. Revolutionary! You can answer and receive calls with — Oh, wait. That’s just a bluetooth headset that you can’t wear.
