This Valentine's Day, if you're feeling particularly flush and want to impress your girlfriend with something much more than standard issue bling, why not fork out a handsome amount of dough for the Vertu Constellation Ayxta? After all, this late-2009 release sports the same features alongside coming in pink leather, although we would love to see it get adorned with diamonds and other sorts of precious jewels for that added touch of class.

As you can see from the image above, regardless of whether you are from the Apple or BlackBerry camp, there is something for everyone. No idea on the pricing, but the golden rule of "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" applies here.

Now this is a netbook for fashionistas - the Asus Eee PC 1101HA which has its exterior covered in luxurious leather featuring the famous pattern by Louis Vuitton. This specially comissioned work was done by a saddler, and apart from the exterior aesthetics, everything else within remains the same. Will we see more customized netbooks and devices coming out in the future? One thing's for sure, it is just a matter of time before the iPad gets the ColorWare treatment, and we do look forward to the day where King Midas - nay, Goldstriker get their hands on the iPad.

Fujitsu has teamed up with Greek jewelry retailer Folli Follie to roll out a special version of its F-02B cellphone, dubbing it the Folli Follie Gold. Needless to say, this is meant for those who want to be at the center of attention most of the time, sporting a 2-karat cubic zirconia alongside a pinkish gold tinge overall for that warm glow when you glance at its way. Apart from that, booting up the phone will see a Folli Follie welcome screen show up alongside the famous orange logo. Being part of the F-028 Style series mean this handset is both water-resistant and dust-resistant, and you can choose from black, white and pink colors.Folli Follie Gold cellphone

French jewelry company Ryan has unveiled its REYN handset that will target the high-end cellphone market in China, being shaped out of 925 pure silver and sapphire. If you happen to have a whole lot of dough sitting in the bank, then there is also the option to customize the rear end with laser artwork according to your taste, and these can range from a logo, motto or signature that will be commissioned by Ryan’s artisans. No idea on its specifications, pricing and availability as at press time, but we're looking at something which will be out of reach for the average man on the street.

Is fashion house Versace that starved for money that they have to take the route of other labels to come up with a cellphone? Guess so, as Versace cuddles up to ModeLabs to announce a new range of luxury handsets. Expect the first of potentially many Versace phones to be showcased in Paris later this month, although it won't arrive Stateside until spring this year. We don't know much about what the Versace-branded handset will offer in terms of technical specifications, but we do know you will like it if bling's your thing. Get this only if you have plenty of disposable income to spare - and we're talking about the purchase bill running into the thousands even perhaps.

We now have more confirmation on the release of Samsung's female-centric Diva Collection of cellphones, and Q1 means a January release for folks living in the UK, France, Germany and other European countries. Shortly after the European release, expect similar launches in South East Asia and China. Pricing details have yet to be determined, but you can refer to our earlier post for context on its specifications. Personally, we wonder why there must be a distinct difference in design between the genders where cellphones are concerned. After all, if you were to take a look at things objectively, having the best functionality at a decent price point would be the sweet spot for everyone, whether they wear pants or skirts.

Stuart Hughes is on a roll here, bagging yet another device that is one of the most expensive in the world. First wowing the world with his diamond-studded gold Nintendo Wii Supreme, he is now back with a vengeance in the form of the most expensive PS3 in the world. Made out of 1,600 grams of solid 22ct gold, the Sony PS3 Supreme will boast a diamond-studded disc loading slot, with a total 58 of 26ct of diamonds. There will only be three of these available worldwide, so if you're an oil baron or an insanely rich person, then forking out £199,995 for one of these shouldn't be too much of a problem for you. One thing's for sure though - the Wii Supreme is still king, price wise, and we wonder whether an Xbox 360 version is set to follow.

Samsung has made its presence known at the Millionaire Fair 2009 in Netherlands, unveiling the limited edition S9110 watch phone where there are only 100 units of it available. In terms of specifications, everything remains the same, although your 999 Euros will come with its own number, a Bluetooth headset and a handmade watch box. What's a thousand Euros to millionaires, eh?

Remember the Vertu V Collection which we covered earlier? Well, we now have pricing for those super luxurious accessories, where the Vertu V Bluetooth Headset is going for a (take a deep breath now) $730, giving you something made from stainless steel and high quality resin, coupled with a scratch resistant material with the option for you to hand polish it from time to time to maintain its lustre. As for the $490 Vertu V Memory Card Reader, don't let us hear you complain about those weird Japanese card readers being so expensive from an import store any more, eh? Last but not least, we don't think dropping $330 for a Vertu V Ballpoint Pen is well worth the price, even though it has a perfectly tuned twist mechanism to make it ergonomically balanced (like other pens which cost a couple of bucks, eh?).

You might not have the Midas touch to turn everything into gold whenever you come into contact with them, but you could very well bring home this gold plated PS3 for $4,999, making this the showcase piece in any living room. It does make me wonder where I can purchase an additional (and equally luxurious) controller unless flying solo is the direction of this gold PS3.

The iPod Supreme is proud to be known as the most expensive iPod touch on earth, where there are only three models available. It might be a wee bit hard to find a buyer though considering it costs a whopping $233,000 each, where you get 149 grams of 22 carat gold with the trademark Apple logo made from 53 shiny VVS1, color F diamonds. On the outer section of the iPod touch lies 300 diamonds, while the main navigation button is adorned with a dozen diamonds that surround a single cut pink diamond of 2.1 carat. All three will come in a box made from white lacquered wood, with inners made from Porsche Nappa leather. Guess the economy is really recovering, eh - who do you think will pick this up? A Russian oil ogilarch, an Arab sheikh or some businessman from the Far East?
