Nokia to sell $25,000 phones

Fueled by the rising demand especially in China and India, Nokia the cell phone manufacturer, has started selling a Ferrari cell phone which costs about $ 25,000.

The Indian and Chinese consumers are in frenzy about this new introduction. Ling Vu, a resident of Beijing, said “I cannot wait to get my hands on this phone. Iphone is so yesterday. The only problem is that there are a lot of homeless people on the street where the Nokia store is located. I don’t understand it, why can’t they go away.”

When asked about whether spending $25,0000 on a phone is justifiable, Pam (Parmila) Mehta of the plush Juhu, Mumbai said “Well my husband makes the money and I have the right to spend it. I think poor people are lazy and that is why they are poor. So don’t expect me to feel sorry for them and by the way we were poor once too. My parents used to have 2 cars only. They worked hard to get where they are and so did my husband. I gotta go as I have a 1 PM appointment to pray at the Ganesh temple. I like god. Then I have to rush off to the Nokia store.”
