The rumored Christian Dior phones? Well, they actually exist and will be officially announced today. The company is hoping to tap into new markets in China and Russia, much like Prada and Dolce & Gabbana, its competitors in luxury goods, and those who have already succeeded in the mobile phone industry. The "Dior phones" will be manufactured by ModeLabs and are said to cost around . . . $5,000 each.
I don't see any gold or diamonds adorning the phone, so why the big price tag? The phone is said to include a "mini phone" labeled "My Dior," which is about the size of a USB stick. Basically it's for ridiculously rich women ('cause those are the only people who will be able to afford this phone) who don't want to search through their purses for their phones. They can just answer the tiny one that's clipped on their bag (basically paired via Bluetooth with the main phone). Neat concept, but not worth the hefty price.

i'm sure for all it's dior-ness, it can't touch the iphone. so what's the point?
1NUTS that is expensive!
2Whoa! That is insane!
3Yeah, whatever.
4Hahaha. Pass.
I think I'll stick with the iPhone I got for free.
5f*ck. i was all excited when i heard the rumour...i love dior; but i do not have 5000 bucks. i am however, almost at the 300some to get a blackberry.
6Haha! It's the size of a USB stick? That reminds me of Derek Zoolander's phone in the movie.
7I really loved the red one, but damn it´s so expensive! Not even a swarovski crystal!
8I stopped reading after I read 5,000. I mean for that it better fold my laundry! ha
9That's just silly!
10Wow. For that price, I could get another MacBook Pro, a designer laptop bag and maybe even an iPhone.
11ridiculous!!
12love dior...but agreeing with comments 1 8 9 10 and 11
13are you kidding?! this $5000 blingless piece of scrap had better double as my new dior bag AND shoes!
LOL sweetpea! Good call! ..
14ooooo, very pretty... too bad they are too expensive
15I'm totally gonna talk on my $5K phone while eating my $150 burger sprinkled with gold flakes....
Damn I need to figure out the "eye roll" emoticon....
16Does Dior smoke crack? They can go kick rocks, and on top of that price tag this phone will be easy as hell to lose!
17Haaaa haaaa haaaaaaaa. What's the movie or show where the guy had a ridiculously tiny cell phone that he couldn't really use effectively? That's what the miniphone makes me think of.
NYC is about to be full of rich, rich women toting these things around. And also, not-so-rich women with knockoffs from Canal street.
18lol bluesarahlou, it's : oy : .
And I agree. 5 grand for a phone and a Bluetooth? Pfffft.

20Sweet! thanks colormesticky!
21It's nice to see them dip a toe into the mobile phone industry, but I doubt this will make an impact, even with the intended demographic. Phones have become so sophisticated that you need function, features and style to stay ahead of the game, in that order.
22shocking! way too small for a phone its just not necessary if its that small and i thought the shocking price was going to be 900 or something.
23thats more then some vertus!
24Ridiculous. But cute. Why can't normally priced phones look a little better? Its not that hard people. Even the masses deserve good design.
25I don't even think they're that pretty...$5,000? Seriously?
26it's asia....people over there LOVE their phones, and it shows. look at how much nicer their phones are compared to here.
27Gorgeous! If I had the money, I would def. buy this!
28just so you know the one that costs 5k has 64 diamonds with a total of 3.24 carats and a couple saphires and its made of stainless steel. it also brings the my dior (which also has diamonds) and a great deal of memory
