Ah...awesome, David!  
Sexual gender notwithstanding, if you can't appreciate a piece of engineering of this quality, then the point is being sorely missed......
Having seen Moto's one in pieces on a plinth, even Vertu don't go to these lengths(1st rate materials, yes, but they only ever build bar phones)! This is one swivel I'd love to add to my collection......

Thanks, that rant was not aimed at anyone other than the author of the post, it grinds my gears when people get into that, and it wasn't as if it was a passing remark, more a mini thesis.
....anyhooo, it's beautifully made, and whilst it ain't no smartphone, its does what it says on the tin in terms of function.
The other phones I have that give me the same feeling are the Bang & Oulfsen Serene (the original design), and the Vertu Ascent, and even the Nokia Arte Saphire.
There's nothing quite like the cold and heavy feel of steel in the hand. I love my iPhone (and use it 24/7) but it's not quite the same, kind of like having a Omega watch (or similar, other brands are available!) for occasional wear, and using a Casio everyday.

David Beckham advertises the phone. He has Victoria Beckham. Enough said.
Anyway I had the old V80 and its a shame they made such a pricy model like this. A realy shame. But man its lovely. |

Personally its not to my taste and i would want more features over style. Though would love to see that screen  but i fail to see anything gay about the phone. I would understand if it was pink or purple but nothing gay about it. Strange.
Phone?? What phone?? |

Looks familiar. Have seen it a few years back. Didn't do well.

You possibly mean that you have seen the format a few years ago, which indeed is true, but not this handset.

That is something that Motorola has done in the US to try and stop ebay resellers and fakes.
But it's not legal to do that in the European Union, as it contravenes the free trade laws, so in other words in the EU you can do as you please.
