While waiting for my eyes to retire I decided to search for the most expensive mobile phones. And I get these 5 on the list. Actually the site provided 10 but i only extracted the top5 phones. I was really awed by the price of each phone. I can't even imagine myself holding a phone that expensive. So here are the TOP 5 MOST EXPENSIVE MOBILE PHONES so far:1. Goldvish “Le million” = $1,000,000 (£540,540) A PR stunt it may be, and they surely can’t be expecting to sell any, but the Goldvish “Le million” is officially the most expensive mobile phone in the world, according the Guiness Books of Records. There’s even been talk of a $1.3million phone, but this has fewer diamonds than the Goldvish so I can’t see where the extra expense comes from! The “Le million” is a one off,

It is interesting that the approach that vendors and carriers continue to tout to users is that they need ALL their emails on the mobile phones.

According to local police , the young cyclist was wearing headphones as the time of the accident. Unfortunately, he died from injuries sustained in the accident.  I have read about accidents like this in Washington State too.  And I have seen a lot of cyclists ion city streets, on Lake Washington Blvd, and in the parks wearing headphones.The obvious but sad lesson is that wearing headphones while bicycling (and, for that matter, while running near traffic) is a recipe for disast
