  British designer Stuart Hughes, 38, of Liverpool, was commissioned to make two of the bespoke handset by a mega-rich Australian businessman. He said: 'It was a fantastic challenge and I am really pleased with the end result - the phones look superb. 'Phones are so popular at the moment and this is the ultimate design for one. It was a very exciting project. 'It is amazing that someone is prepared to spend ?5 million on a phone, I doubt it will get used because it is worth so much money. 'It would be a disaster if it was ever lost.'* |, @% g: A, R' g& g" b8 H1 _
  38岁的英国设计师Stuart Hughes说,这个手机是独一无二的,完全是为个别人定制的特别款。也许,花费500万买一台手机那简直就是疯了。我怀疑,这个手机并不实用,因为手机实在太贵了,要是一不小心弄丢,那可就真惨了。
