Selfridges on Oxford Street in London has the whole range of them on display, the most expensive is the titanium one at £14k!

They do nothing for me, its a bog standard phone in a really expensive case which doesnt look that special!

I havent tried one out, theyre in cases (surprisingly enough), you can ask to see one but they never really interested me.

None of the phones are switched on so have never had a chance to see the screen and also no specs of the phone were on show anywhere.

The emphasis is more on the casing, the creen is made from scratch resistant crystal.
I meant platinum above not titanium as well!

Also your paying more because the phone is hand made.

For anyone who doesnt know what they look like heres a pic:

Some more comments:

"With retractable antenna, design like Nokia 8890"
"Front lit-design" changeable blue and black backlight with cool blue
fonts"

1. " Vertu handset is larger than my Nokia 8250, very large"
2. " Vertu handset is very heavy too"
3. " It has antenna"
4. " The backlight is similar with Motorola V70"
5. " The ringtone of Vertu is very nice, polyphonic ringtone! and the speaker is on
the back.
6. " The menu design is very similar with my 8250 but all logos are different"
7. " The guests said Vertu handset cannot use with StarHub (one mobile operator
in Singapore)
8. " It is made of metal, while there is leather around the side"


So basically its an 8210 in a fancy case!
