Aston Martin Concept Smartphone?

This seems a little far-fetched in my opinion, but I guess anything is possible and as long as there are people out there willing to pay for a luxury like this, it sure makes things interesting. Aston Martin is partnering with Canada’s Mobiado to produce a line of high-end luxury smartphones, supposedly to be launched in May of this year. The most interesting one is the CPT002 because it is completely transparent. Yes, you read that right!
Its made of a single slab of solid sapphire crystal. The screen is transparent and is capacitive. They've hidden the battery, SIM card, and other electronics into the platinum sides of the phone.
Interesting concept right? How much do you think something like this would sell for? Do you ever see it going mainstream, and if so, in how many years?

@Mojary, What are you talking about, there is a front facing camera but its also completely transparent.
hahaha
wow omg
Its not impossible to produce actually..same way the samsung touch screen transparent LCDs/OLEDs….
The other possibility is a mirror trick and that its not really transparent but proper use of mirrors…
maybe it’s a car key with icons added via photoshop.. this is what a regular aston martin key looks like

i don’t know what the key to one77 looks like though.. considering the car goes for 1.8 mil, maybe it gets a fancy key like that..
yeah, heard about this phone… It comes with a yatch!!! jejeje
P.S. U had me going for a second… I was like WTF when I saw it on the home page… jejeje
ass holes! I so bought into it. and was super amazed how they hid the battery and sim card. hahaha oh my god!
Even if it was real, I don’t think Asurion could even afford to pay and send you a replacement phone. Lol!
FmL i wanted it =(
