For some retarded reason Nokia is putting out a new version of the classic (used to be regular?) 6700 in gold. Not the color, more like the karat.

The gilded object of stupidity has been defended as Nokia as being not “just about the 18-carat gold finish”.

They’re right, I would pay ~$550 for

“… custom wallpapers to complete the gold look, alongside that carry case and monster memory card. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition is a well specced device, boasting a five-megapixel camera wrapped inside that glorious metal shell and of course GPS and Nokia Maps to help you find your way to the next jewelery store.”
