Born Rich

Goldstriker, the firm that coats your iPods, cellphones in 24-carat gold, has already impressed all of us with their 8GB Gold iPhone, Platinum Apple iPod nano, and the limited edition Gold Blackberry. The latest from their arsenal is the Solar Star edition of the Apple iPhone. Both the front bezel of the handset and the Apple logo on the rear comes plated with 24ct gold. Rest of the casing, including the antenna cover, touts the Balloon White paint, which you might spot on a Lamborghini Gallardo. To top the features, this is a 16GB version and has been updated to firmware 1.1.4 and unlocked for worldwide GSM use. For £749.95 ($1,477), it’s really not cheap. Well, the original iPhone is in itself a masterpiece, but this Solar Star edition is certainly a better option for the bling lovers.
