We're not sure how many of you ever heard of the Russia-based INCRUDO but the company has recently presented its first mobile phone, a luxury one that's targeted at people who usually have more money to spend than regular mobile users.

Called INCRUDO Phantom, the device in question is touted as being the world's most durable mobile phone and it's said to be built mainly for male users. Makes sense, since the Phantom weighs no less than 230 grams – a weight that's rarely associated with a modern mobile phone.

What makes the INCRUDO Phantom durable is its 2-3 millimeter titanium coating, the "extra hard-wearing high tech ceramics" and sapphire crystal display (with 240 x 320 pixels and 16 million colors).

Inside the titanium case that measures 106 x 45 x 18 millimeters, the phone hides the following features: a 3.2 Megapixel camera with video recording (no auto focus, apparently), Bluetooth, email and Web browser, stereo speakers, USB and GSM connectivity with GPRS and EDGE (no sign of 3G). The Phantom also comes with 8GB of memory, which is quite unusual for a luxury handset. A blue sapphire stone is encased in the phone's navigation key, giving it an elegant appearance, despite the bulky case.

INCRUDO Phantom has a retail price of 850 USD (625 Euros), and only 10 units will be built, so if you really want to get yourself one you should hurry. Unfortunately, it seems that the handset is only available in Russia (Moscow, more exactly), so it's highly probable that 10 Russian millionaires have already pre-ordered it for themselves.

In case you can't buy INCRUDO's Phantom but still want a unique and expensive phone, there are lots of other options for you, from TAG Heuer's Meridiist to Mobiado or Bellperre's handsets – as long as you have the right amount of money, of course.
