Anyone else seen them?
Jesus wept on a bike.
My mate had one down the pub yesterday, he was given it to him by a client when he worked in Dubai!
£4500 and that is cheap

I've heard of them, but after seeing them they just look like shit old phones with Pink Panther polyphonic ringtone.

They sell them in a jeweller in the Bullring. Opposite the Apple Store in fact, I know which shop I'd be going in to buy an over-priced phone...

Are they in any way different to other phones, or just a shit gimmick for rich Arabs and footballers?

They're as good as a Nokia 3210 in a solid gold case covered in diamonds. Catering for a certain demographic there I guess.

Has a button on the side where it will call through to a special person or something and you could get anything you want to wherever you are in the world and it gets charged to your bill

Would you not rather have a Ferrari wallet, and put all the money you save by not buying the shit phone into it?

You could also then buy a matching Ferrari folder, to hold all the documents of the mortgage you took out to afford the wallet.

You can have a concierge service without the shit phone though

Geek fact Vertu are a uk company. I think now owned or part run by Nokia.
One of my customers has one as well as a silly phone number like 0777 77 77 77 or something.
Fucking STINKING rich. Address is Regent street, wears designer clothes but you wouldn't look twice at him on the street as often just wears a tracksuit, happens that's probably worth more than my car but from a distance just looks like a dude in a trackie.

They are just Series 40 Nokia's in drag.
They do feel very nice in the hand but very over priced. Can get a much better concierge service from the likes of American Express if you have the right card.
