Pure alligator skin covers the back of the handset and sapphires adorn the screen, the review said.
Next up was the Vertu Constellation, which would cost buyers £2,700 and give them a model made from stainless steel, leather and 18-carat gold.
The Nokia 8800 Arte has a £600 price tag and offers a range of options for the consumer.
T3 said: "The Arte is encased in a gloriously seductive chassis that has one of the most satisfying slide mechanisms this side of a particularly nice playground."
Second to last was the £5,600 Gresso, reportedly made from 200-year-old African Blackwood and with buttons made from gold and diamonds.
Finally, luxury leather and titanium make up the Bellperre, which the website described as "a petite box of privilege".
