Hasta La Gadget!

Okay, okay, €7,250 (about $10,150) sounds positively exorbitant for a phone with a microscopic 2-inch display that dares to boast of “200 calendar entries” as a “feature,” but hear us out — that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the €42,000 ($58,800) you’ll pay for the gilded version. That’s right: for €7,250 you get nothing more than common stainless steel coating the front and rear of your Æsir Yves Béhar, the latest entry in the long-running luxury phone trend that includes Mobiado, Gresso, and Nokia subsidiary Vertu, among others. As the name implies, the phone — which, we’ll admit, is pretty gorgeous — was penned by none other than famed designer Yves Béhar… but then again, so is the $200 Jawbone Jambox. Six of one, half-dozen of the other, right? Look for it to ship around the world in the summer and fall.

Æsir’s Yves Béhar-designed phone starts at just €7,250, plenty left for mortgage on the summer home originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 14 Mar 2011 18:57:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
