This Phone is $50,000, Has a Keypad and No Touchscreen

When it comes to buying over-the-top, extremely expensive devices and accessories, you’re basically throwing money away and everybody knows it. That being the case, a lot of these higher end devices seem to revel in their lack of features to further de-justify their already ludicrous price point. Look at the new Grand Premier, from Gresso for instance. A $50,000 dollar phone that has buttons. Buttons? I thought we were past this, people.

OK, so it’s a little outdated in that sense, but this baby has over five ounces of 18-carat gold baked right in. On top of that, it’s kind of sexy. Sexy in the way a hotel TV remote could be sexy if you slathered it in gold. The kind of TV remote that would play only the priciest pay-per-view porn and be attached to the desk with a diamond filament tether or something. Don’t you kind of want one now? Yeah, neither do I.

    Touch screens suck… If they weren’t marketed towards dumb, mouth-breathing sycophants then the market for subscription apps and games wouldn’t exist. Please, try to defend paying $9.99 a month for “ultimate tetris” when you could just use your phone for text, email, and calls and spend the rest of the time you’d be jerking off with it playing REAL games on a console or PC. “Oh… but I use my phone when I’m out and about waiting!” Then you suck at planning and time management and trying to hide that fact by claiming you have no imagination and need to be constantly entertained by means other than social interaction just makes you look that much more retarded.
