From VHXN:

Every so often one of these comes out in the media.  In fact, when I was at Leo Schachter, I remember we had a perennial safe dweller that we never did anything with.  It was a Palm V special edition prototype that we created with 1/2 carat diamonds placed instead of buttons on the Palm’s interface.  It never made it to market.

From a consumer perspective, I never understood the appeal of diamond-laden gadgets.  Everyone at least wants to change their cellphone after a couple of years.  There’s always going to be something better out there in due time.  So why just make it more difficult to change?  It’s not like you can easily remove the diamonds from Phone A and set them in Phone B.
