There's a Nokia 3310 with a gold Putin face on it waiting for you
If you, for one, are ready to welcome our new Russian overlords, there's good news: you can get one of those new-fangled throwback Nokia 3310 phones with a gold-encrusted Vladimir Putin face.
The phone is a product of Elijah Giacometti, an Italian jeweler who, as The Outline notes, has made quite a tidy business, called -- of course -- Caviar, out of selling ultra-luxury tech items like diamond-encrusted iPhones and an Apple Watch with an inscription celebrating Putin's birthday.
And now Giacometti is pushing Caviar to embrace the wave of nostalgia sweeping through mobile users by expanding his line to include the Nokia 3310 throwback phone.
While you can get a version with a titanium cover, why stop there? Why not take things even further with a gold-encrusted version of Putin's face? The "Supremo Putin" model also includes a few lines from the Russian national anthem and the Russian Federation coat of arms over the phone's home button.
It's yours to preorder now for just over $1,700 plus any shipping and handling fees that you may incur in the purchase.
And, just a hint: A certain commander-in-chief has a big birthday coming up in June!
