I noticed you can "Tailor your Vertu", where you can select the metal for the phone and for the buttons. The choices? Platinum, 18K gold, 18K white gold, and stainless steel. Aparrantly they are all the same price, so why would you get stainless steel?

Aparrantly one of the big features is the "Vertu Concierge", a live operator who can "locate tickets to the theatre, reserve your table at a top resturant, make your spa appointment, or arrange your travel". I wonder what would happen if you got one of these phones, and told the concierge, "I need to talk to the President right away".

The Vertu locations are in Singapore and Paris. Not exactly convenient. Of course, I get the impression that they would fly anywhere in the world meet you and demonstrate the phone and services.

The phone itself looks cool. The "sapphire crystal display" sounds like it is more expensive than a standard liquid crystal display (LCD). It's just a phone that's been turned into a piece of high-tech jewlery though.

Anyway, "luxury communications" is the theme here. Although depending on what the monthly service fees are, it might be cheaper to simply hire yourself a personal assistant.

It comes with a concierge service. So aparrantly you would be able to call up the concierge who would be able to find a girl who would come to your hotel room when you are staying in an unfamiliar city. All it costs is money.

Hiring hookers for you in advanced? uhmm I wonder if they have my taste on girls? May be it is like in mexico, they give you a description of the ones they have available and send them to you hotel, if you don't like her you can send her back at no charge, or you can request two and either keep both of them or send one back. The difference is a lot of money savings in Mexico, all you need to do is grab the news paper, go to the clasified ads and make a phone call from your 150.00 dlls cheap cell phone.

.
Nope.
The prices Vary a lot..
The platinum is 24,000 while the Steel is about 7,000 Euro.
But heck I dun mind the Steel one either if i had money for a phone.

But then for that much I'd buy myself another Plasma for my wife so she'd quit bi*ching lol!
