Nokia N95, the highly popular Nseries smartphone released by Nokia more than one year ago (in the spring of 2007), now comes in a new luxury edition. Offered by Continental Mobiles, a UK-based company specialized in luxury products, the new N95 features a Sterling silver panel in the front, which is encrusted with lots of naturally mined 4.42 carat diamonds. This makes the handset look even bulkier than the original, but I guess rich people won't mind this aspect.

[admark=1]As Continental Mobiles puts it, the diamond-dressed N95 is "a true statement of luxury and extravagance." Well, it couldn't have been otherwise, as one unit of the exclusive Nseries smartphone costs no less than 10,000 GBP - the equivalent of $19,735 or 12,586 Euros. Every Continental N95 handset is hand tailored and can reach its owner only 21 days after the order has been made. And speaking of orders, these can be made directly on the Continental Mobiles website, found at this address.

Under the silver-meets-diamonds plate, the new luxury edition of N95 hides the same nice features packed by Nokia in the original and inexpensive version. Thus, the lucky users who can actually afford Continental's Nseries smartphone will get the following: GSM and HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS, Nokia Maps, Symbian S60 3.1 Edition, 3D graphics accelerator, full HTML browser, email, Music player, a 3.5mm headset jack, stereo FM radio, TV out, document viewer, organizer, 160MB of internal memory, microSD card support and a 5 Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, auto focus, flash and video recording.

Besides the N95, Continental Mobiles has lots of other luxury edition devices. For example, the British company has also dressed in precious clothes the Nokia 6500, Nokia Arte Sapphire, LG Secret, LG Prada, Apple's iPhone and even Apple's iPod.
