De Vere’s of London has unveiled the all-black ‘Midnight’ iPhone that the company originally meant to use only as a base to show off inset diamonds.
De Vere’s says they never intended to offer an iPhone with a plain black bezel, until they realized how good it looked “naked.” So, they’ve decided to offer it to customers as an option.
Of course, it can also have diamonds set into it like their other iPhones. According to De Vere’s, “White diamonds look spectacular against a black background!”
The bezel surrounding the front screen has a hard-wearing electroplated deep gloss black finish.
The all-black “Midnight” iPhone is available in two versions:
• 16GB unlocked iPhone 3G with black bezel – £799 (US$1,199)
• A black bezel only (fitted to customer’s existing iPhone 3G) – £299 ($449)
You can also decide to have your iPhone inset with 25-425 diamonds: £431.25 ($794) – £9,520 ($18,312). De Vere’s website states that it normally takes between about 15-20 days to complete an iPhone, depending on the number of diamonds you choose.

$450 to have the Bezel replaced?
Wretched excess!

I was getting ready to place an iPhone order for the 425 diamond inset for my wife’s Christmas present. But since it takes 15 – 20 days to receive – I’ll have to go with the kitchen knives and that ram upgrade she’s (I’ve) been wanting.
Hmph! No rubies, no deal. Not to mention the 425 diamond limit. Sorry.

Make that Krylon “Fusion” as it is specifically formulated for use on plastics.
@Damn
You’re ramming your wife for Christmas? Good for you.
A fool and their money were thus parted.
I’d only buy it if it includes a free copy of the “I Am Rich” application.

@ MTS–
He’s ramming her with steak knives.
@zmarc
I’d only buy it if I can pay double the price!
Some junior wall street execs will be able to afford this thanks to our tax dollars.
The RNC bought one for Sarah.

Not all plastics. It never dried on my xbox case!
thats not plastic, it’s crap!
the metal ring on the iPhone is the antenna. 250 to remove the antenna and get worse reception?
Just enough time for the Detroit CEOs to buy their wives for Christmas…
Tacky. Very tacky.
The iPhone is beautifully designed. Blinging it up like this shows an appalling lack of taste.

I wonder if any other smart phone has been blinged up like that?
I wonder if any other smart phone can be blinged up like that?
I wonder if blinging a blinged up smart phone anywhere is such a blilliant idea?
I wonder if blinging a smart phone everywhere with you is such a good idea?
I wonder if the bill for such bling can be blinged up to bling the cost?
I wonder if the cash registers blinging with the sound of cash can cope with the bills of the bling blinging there bells?
Bling!!! Blong!!!!! Bling!!! Blong!!!!!, the sound of a blinged up iphone’s bling tone!!!!!
Any more fun anyone?
To the ‘G’ Police, sorry, I meant blinging their bells!!!!
Please redirect your alarms to the right Crim’s
@jake
At least it was only one phone.
Eliot Spitzer bought one for each of his ho’s.

Lets not forget;
Rod Blagojevich was taking them in exchange for a seat in the state senate.

Coming to a ghetto near you….
