Unaffordable, high-priced, exorbitant etc are the words that strikes your mind the moment Vertu is heard. We have witnessed several vertu mobile phones in past, but Vertu's Signature Cobra definitely would give envy to the whole snake breed, having been encrusted with one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies.
 
 
The mobile phone has been designed by the French Jewelry house Boucheron that may have to bear the grudge of other snakes. The snakes are bejeweled fittingly and you have an option for diamond-studded cobra or a python version of vertu.

Vertu is not known for features as much as its known for beauty and the price.The Vertu's Signature Cobra is one that is available for $310,000, while if you really have passion for snakes but cant dry up you bank account, you may contemplate over its python brother edition that is just $ 115,000.

The company rolled out 8 Signature Cobra mobile phones and 26 Signature Pythons when it launched in December 2006, so we doubt you being so much lucky.
