Isn't gold real heavy though?

@gordeaoux: Yes, it is, very heavy, very unpleasant in your pocket. If you find yourself in the unlucky position of owning one of these turkeys and you wish to be unburdened from the "golden anvil", I can arrange for an even-steven swap, your gold iPhone for my nifty, lightweight black iPhone. And I'll do this exchange for you absolutely free of charge--that's just the kind of guy I am.

Wow! Look at that $34,000 golden mirror finish. Of course, the very first thing the new owner of this phone will need to do to keep it pristine is to slip it into one of those $30 black plastic sleeves--kinda defeating the purpose of the blingy golden goodness.

As much as I enjoyed the Solid Gold Dancers, I'd prefer a Soul Train-themed iPhone with the iPod shuffle voice technology that announces calls and songs with the voice of Don Cornelius.

@zenpoet: I think it's great that Gizmodo lets the mentally retarded comment. It's real progressive. But then again, I'd expect that kind of lefty-thinking from the nancyboys that run Giz.*

*that is my best Don Rickles impression.

It's not that tacky. But unlike the solid gold Zippo you can buy, this doesn't come pre-engraved with your signature.

@Wants A CU Labcoat_GitEmSteveDave: That'd be great. If there's anything I want in this economy, it's gold with a reduced resale rate.

@badhatharry: It's gold. And he who has the gold makes the rules.

@badhatharry: Dude, if you're worried about the engraving affecting its resale value, just sandpaper over the inscription. Duh!

If it's solid, does that mean it doesn't work?

@BEERxTaco: It does, it just shoots all the signals (WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth) trough the screen and your brain when you're using it. Anybody who's going to buy one of these probably doesn't have too many brain cells left to worry about it anyways :P

@wiedzmin: I wish people would stop making these "if rich people buy really extravagant things, they are stupid" arguments. If you're a billionaire, who cares what you spend stuff on? It's not like that it will impact their lives in any negative way. How many people in China would say we are stupid for spending $80 on shoes?
