De Vere’s unveil's Angels Tears Diamond Encrusted iPhone 3G

Diamond jewellers, De Vere’s of London have unveiled their beautiful diamond encrusted iPhone 3G, the ‘Angels Tears’. This stunning Art Deco inspired Apple iPhone has been created by De Vere’s founder Philip De Vere in memory of his mother who died of ovarian cancer. A number of examples are being sold to raise money for the research and treatment of women’s cancers. They are available for a limited time at £2499 (USD$3981.73).

I wanted to create a damned sexy and desirable iPhone, capable of giving anyone’s thumbs an orgasm”. Philip De Vere said.

The unlocked (by Apple) 16GB black backed 3G iPhones have 400 small brilliant cut diamonds set into the steel bezel surrounding the front screen. The majority of these diamonds are F colour, VS clarity whites, apart from one corner, which has pink diamonds that gradually fade to whites as they extend along the edges of the iPhone.

At a later date, if the owner wishes, the diamonds can be removed from the iPhone and set into custom made jewellery. A plain bezel can then be refitted to the original iPhone. De Vere’s of London can inset any number of diamonds, from 25 to 425 to create either a diamond accented (detailed) or diamond encrusted iPhone 3G. The Angels Tears diamond iPhone is available from De Vere’s for £2499 (USD$3981.73) for a limited time.

Prices for other ‘De Vere Diamond iPhones’ start from £281.75 (USD$448.92) for the 25 diamond ’25 Wishes’ bezel, fitted to an existing iPhone.

NLU Products is releasing a new BodyGuardz Skin for the new iPhone 3G

When I first got the 1st generation iPhone I put the BodyGuardz skin on it. And today it is still in mint condition. So protect your investment in the new 3G iPhone and get a BodyGuardz skin. Unlike a normal screen protector. The BodyGuardz skin provides full protection front and back of the entire unit. So your electronics will stay in pristine condition like the day you bought it. I highly recommend the entire line of BodyGuardz skins. They are the best at great prices.

BodyGuardz Skins are Custom-made, paper-thin and transparent protectors, meant to protect against damaging scratches, wear and tear. Made from the same material that protects the front of your car from abrasive matter, they are sure to make your mobile device resilient to scratching.

Second generation iPhone to have 3G and GPS

Engadget has it on good word that the 2nd Gen iPhone will have 3G and proper GPS. Here are several other observations they have found.

* The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
* It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
* The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal -- the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
* Because it's got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn't have quite as many angular edges. The battery is (still) not removable.
* The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
* The headphone jack will no longer be recessed, and will finally be flush with the body.
* The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
* No solid word on battery life or capacity.

Griffin ClearBoost iPhone antenna booster

Griffin has released the antenna-stub sporting ClearBoost case for the iPhone. While not aesthetically pleasing, the ClearBoost Case can add 2 bars to reception in good coverage areas. It does not help in situations where there is low coverage.

China Mobile running 400,000 unlocked iPhones

I remember hearing about an article about iPhone's missing in action. Well they must have turned up in China since $400,000 of them are running on China Mobile's cellular network at the end of last year, according to market research firm In-Stat.

Apple has sold 3.7 million on iPhone's in 2007, and more than 10 percent of them are in China. While Apple might not be completely happy with this fact. At least this shows that China is interested in purchasing these smartphones even at high prices.

Boxu T32 - iPhone Clone

Boxu T32 is definately an iPhone Clone but what's interesting is it's features. The T32 runs on Windows Mobile 6 is powered by TI’s OMAP 850 platform and supports GSM and EDGE networks. Other features include a 3.2-inch LCD touchscreen, a 2 Megapixel camera, a 0.3 Megapixel secondary camera, integrated Bluetooth, integrated GPS and WiFi. It's looks questionable whether this is a real product since all we see is renderings.
