Tengu, named after the Japanese god of mischief (aha! I knew there was a god that was doing that!), is also a little device that plugs into your USB port and makes faces at any ambient noise in what I can only presume is an attempt to get me to look over.

The cheapest phone on this list costs around $28,000 and the most expensive is priced at over $1.3 million dollars. Read the rest of this entry »
