WINDSOR, ENGLAND, November 19, 2010 (Press-News.org) When is an iPhone not just an iPhone? When it has been 'blinged' up to include 200 year old African Blackwood, Swarovski crystals and an 18-karat gold Apple logo. This $5,000 iPhone (which equates to around GBP3,145) however, isn't the most expensive iPhone around, says iPhone insurance specialists Protectyourbubble.
With Christmas fast approaching and iPhones on many a Christmas present wish list, the gadget insurance provider have drawn up a list of some of the most expensive iPhones currently available.
If the first iPhone doesn't interest you, then maybe you'll be tempted by a $10,000 (GBP6,300) iPhone 4? This luxury mobile phone features a black diamond ingrained in to the Apple logo, hence the price tag.
However, both these iPhones - from luxury communication devices manufacturer Gresso - may seem fairly cheap in comparison to jeweller Peter Aloisson's iPhone Princess Plus that retails at around GBP110,000.
With 17.75 carats of diamonds set in 18k white gold around its rim, it won't be light enough to carry around in your pocket!
Also from the same designer is the Kings Button iPhone. This iPhone 3G is solid 18 carat yellow, white and rose gold and features 138 brilliant cut diamonds. The home button is not just any old home button but, in fact, a rare 6.6 carat white diamond. A fair snip at GBP1.6million!
If the thought of spending that much money on a mobile phone leaves you panicky, then look away now - because the above pale in comparison when you could potentially spend a cool GBP5million on a gold encrusted, bejewelled iPhone from designer Stuart Hughes. With 100 carats of flawless diamonds, fifty-three more diamonds forming the Apple logo and a platinum home button that features a rare 7.4-carat pink diamond, this is bling at its best.
This iPhone even comes with its own storage box - a block of pink granite - to keep it protected when you switch it off for the night. But as only two of these will ever be made, if you want one, you better get your order in quickly!
Of course, for most of us, these luxury iPhones are out of our reach. And even if you do have an iPhone on your Christmas present wish list, it's unlikely that you'll get one of the above!
For most of us, an iPhone can still work out expensive though, with handset-only prices ranging from around GBP700 for an Apple iPhone 3GS* and GBP750 for an Apple iPhone 4 16GB black* - and that's without any bling on them - so protecting them with iPhone insurance may be worth thinking about.
An iPhone insurance policy from Protectyourbubble.com can cost from as little as GBP5.99 a month, and will provide up to GBP1,000 worth of cover in the event that your iPhone is accidentally damaged, lost, stolen, or it breaks down outside the manufacturer's warranty period.
www.protectyourbubble.com is an online insurance provider trying to make personal insurance simple, easy and uncomplicated - from buying a policy to making a claim. It currently offers gadget, travel, car, life, car hire, home and pet insurance.

Tarps Plus Helps in West Sumatra Recovery Efforts
2010-11-19
On October 25, a very large tsunami pounded several of the Mentawai Islands in West Sumatra. An earthquake that struck just south of the small island with a magnitude of 7.2 was the cause. However, there was no warning, and only a few even realized it was coming until the three meter wave was seen coming. Now, as people are recovering in shock, supplies such as food, water, clothing, and items such as the tarp desperately needed.
The wave killed at least 300 people, while more than 400 are still missing, and hundreds were seriously injured. Those who are left behind ...
Gulf Oil Rig Disaster
2010-11-19
Injury attorneys are sometimes compared to the Knights of the Round Table, who fought for the weak and the underdogs. The explosion of a BP oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico last month looks to provide a worthy jousting match.
The catastrophe that apparently killed 11 workers and caused millions of gallons of oil to spill into U.S. coastal waters horrified the world. While responsibility for the tragedy remains a subject of debate, its impact is not. The ultimate costs have been estimated anywhere from $2 billion to $14 billion.

Approaching Holiday Season Means Increased DUI Patrols in Illinois
2010-11-19
As the winter holiday season approaches, Lake County area police will be stepping up their DUI enforcement efforts throughout the county. If you are going to be out drinking, the best way to ensure that you are not ensnared by these efforts is to take a cab, use a designated driver or make other arrangements to get home.
To pull you over for suspected DUI, the police first must have probable cause to do so. In practical terms, this usually happens when the police witness you breaking a traffic law, like speeding or driving well below the speed limit, weaving in and out ...

Social Security Administration data shows that Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) applications have more than doubled in the period from 2000 to 2009.

A Review of Recent Leandra's Law DWI Arrests
2010-11-19
New York's tough new law on drunk driving, Leandra's Law, has largely been in effect since December 2009. Leandra's Law increases penalties for offenders who are convicted of DWI with a child in the vehicle, in addition to heightening the requirements for driving after a DWI conviction.
Since the law was passed, numerous New York drivers have been arrested and charged with felony DWI.
Overview of Leandra's Law
Leandra's Law, formally known as the Child Passenger Protection Act, was signed into law by New York Governor David A. Paterson in November 2009. The law ...
Richland County Coroner Questions South Carolina DNA Evidence Law
2010-11-19
South Carolina passed a DNA preservation law two years ago to reduce the chance that evidence could be prematurely destroyed before a criminal defendant's legal appeals had been exhausted. But the strict wording of the law has caused Richland County's coroner to withhold cremation permits due to uncertainty, and he recently expressed worry that he may need to postpone burials.
The use of DNA in criminal investigations is a popular feature of television crime shows, and it has had a profound effect on criminal investigations involving murder, assault, sex crimes and other ...
Nursing Home Abuse is Widespread and Takes Many Forms
2010-11-19
Elder abuse has become a growing problem nationwide. The government estimates that between one and two million Americans over age 65 have been injured or mistreated by caregivers.
According to the Illinois Department of Aging, it is estimated that more than 76,000 Illinois residents over the age of 60 are elder abuse victims each year. This November the state closed the Orchard Court Nursing Home for failing to comply with safety regulations. The state may potentially revoke the licenses of six other long-term care facilities.
The true scope of nursing home abuse ...
Sidewalk Fall Injuries in New York City
2010-11-19
With more than 12,000 miles of sidewalk, 8.4 million residents and 47 million visitors each year, it should come as no surprise that slip-and-fall accidents are as common as pigeons in New York City.
The extreme heat in the summer and cold in the winter wreak havoc on the city's sidewalks, creating holes, uneven surfaces, cracks and other hazards that can trip up even the most seasoned New York City pedestrians.
In most American cities, the law holds municipalities responsible for maintaining the safety of public sidewalks - and this was the rule for years in New ...
