Vertu's Signature Cobra claims "world's ugliest phone" throne

What's there really to know here? Small luxury phone manufacturer goes insane, slaps a pair of hugemongous diamonds, two emeralds and 439 rubies on to an absolutely garish cobra, glues it to a lame-ass phone and sells the setup for $310,000? Pretty much. We can only take solace in the fact that only 8 of these Signature Cobra phones will be made by Vertu and its partner in crime, French jeweler Boucheron. There's also a "cheap" version, the $115k Signature Python, which is due for a production run 26 strong, but if you're actually going to spring for something this ridiculous, why not go all the way, right?

Since when did Vertu start designing phones for Cobra?(Gong sound here) Nah, I don't even see Destro or the Baroness wanting this one. Phugly and frivolous don't mix.

After seeing this, it just doesn't seem like it'll be long until some really starts making the Dethklok Dethphones.
