As far as most of us are concerned, if we're going to pay a lot for a phone -- you know, like, $350 on contract -- it had better come with the works. We're talking a qHD display, dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p recording, NFC, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 4G radio, to boot. If you're someone who buys things made by Tag Heuer, you've got different priorities. The company just introduced the Link Phone, a darling clunker of a handset festooned with steel, 18K rose gold, or titanium, topped off with leather, alligator, rubber, and diamond accents -- a medley that'll set you back no less than €4,700 ($6,712). What's that you say? You want specs? The Link, named after the Swiss outfit's storied watch line, runs Android 2.2 -- a clear step up from its feature phone predecessor. Other ho-hum features include the 3.5-inch (800 x 480) display, 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 256MB internal memory, an 8GB memory card, 1400 mAh battery, and EDGE / HSUPA connectivity. Tag Heuer also says the phone will be particularly durable, though it's coming up short on specifics. Somehow, though, we don't think it'll survive when we accidentally drop it in our gold-plated toilet.

Still more useful and cheaper than a vertu phone.

Pretty cool. I would definitively buy it if I had the money for it. Not the alligator skin one of course, that's just an expensive way to show off.

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks the phone looks like shit? Granted, the croc skin looks okay but the way the front is designed just makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

[Ven Kaeo]

It looks like shit and for 2011 it's a shitty phone.

If I'm going to pay $6700 for a phone, designer or not, it better fucking be top of the goddamn line.

Not when I can buy a Sensation for $550 that outperforms this thing by leaps and bounds.

I want a glass smartphone, not some croc shit.

[mr_big90]

its look sweet dont know what you guys talking about.

[Curls]

I think it looks nice.

Still a waste of money though.

1400mAh battery?
The 1250mAh bettery in my ZTE Blade absolutely fucking kills itself if I keep 3G on.

I hope the people who buy this don't wish to actually use it.

And phone manufacturers need to stop skimping on the fucking weight and size of a phone, give me a decent fucking battery.

The best part will be if they go like every other Android phone maker goes, release a "better" version in 5 months and never update this one.

Anybody who buys this phone is a complete moron.

Not like they care, the worst thing they could do to it would be to drop it in their pool.... full of money.

[ExplodingGuy]

It's bloody sexy, but at those specs, far from worth it.

You'd pay $6700 for a phone with medium/low specs?
