What will they think of next? Gold plated headsets? That's right. Nokia has made available the latest must have fashion accessory, it's a 24 carat gold plated mobile phone. London-based entrepreneur Laban Roomes, who runs Midas Touch International (which in itself is a very fitting name,) has received an ongoing flow of request for his new "bling bling" Nokia 8800 cell phones.

The phones sell for around £800 in Europe. Roomes stated "it has been like a gold rush, we started gold plating the Nokia phone in November and it has been booming ever since." Customers can choose between modern gold, classic or rose gold styles.
