White Pearl, the cheaper Black Diamond alternative

If you think you can’t quite afford the $300,000 Black Diamond cellphone for your spouse or partner, why not take a step back and look for a cheaper alternative? The good folks at VIPN who brought you the diamond encrusted Black Diamond will put up the $1,500 White Pearl for sale. This quad-band handset boasts WiFi connectivity, a 2″ 262k TFT color touchscreen, 128MB of internal memory, and a 4 megapixel camera. It is powered by an Intel 400MHz processor and will run on the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. Expect the diamondless White Pearl to launch next year.
