it said...
"Instead of having a sapphire faceplate on a platinum shell, the third-party cover gives you plastic on plastic. Instead of getting Vertu's personalized sales attention and quality service, you get a cranky seller and no after-sales support. Then again, you pay only S$7 not S$40,000."
Conclusion
In terms of design, the Vertu-wannabe bears a credible resemblance to the real thing. From a distance, it even managed to fool some people.
But on closer inspection, the rough edges and the scratched plastic gives it away.
If you're thinking of getting one for yourself, check out the street stalls at your neighborhood. Don't get conned though, as some shops have it going for as much as S$15. We also have reports of a bogus Vertu cover selling at S$30-40, but that's supposed to be of a higher quality. If you've tried that before, drop us an email.
The copycat Vertu is obviously never going to replace the real thing. But it is surprisingly good for a laugh, especially if you're bored with the staid standard covers of your 8310. Furthermore, it's brilliant as a conversation piece. |

To be honest, no matter how rich I get. I would never buy such an expensive cell phone. Hell, that's just stupid. Gold plated, diamond encrusted? blah blah blah
My wife would kick my ass.

that's kinda dumb... why use the 8310 when it's basic frame is different? I'd have made a case for the 8810, 8850, 8890... it's the closest to the Vertu as is... all the more with the new 8855. |
