I'm trying to figure out the other four phones to be released. My guesses are:
* Monaco
* Montreal
* Magny Cours (France)
* Hockenheimring (Germany)
* Monaco
* Montreal
* Magny Cours (France)

Montreal or Albert Park?
I can certainly see them do Monaco, and suspect Hockenheim (probably Nurburg if they are doing more "classic" tracks)...
Perhaps they'll do Dubai in an attempt to sell more of the phones down there?

No camera, no radio, no mp3 player. Not that you really need those, but what did they put in their phone to justify a depth of 22 mm and weight of no less than 173 g ? It's definitely not a high capacity battery: 2.5-4 h talk/max. 270 h standy advertized battery life (real-world battery life will be about half of that) is mediocre.
It's a nice-looking gadget but a lousy phone.
This thing is a POS (Phone Of Size, Piece Of ...., whichever you prefer).

I have seen the Vertu handsets in Neiman Marcus and they are very very nice - the one I would have wanted (a Signature with diamonds) would have cost a small fortune and it just really a Nokia in a bling bling casing... (As Vertu is owned by Nokia). Until I can afford a Vertu, a 8801 will do - lol
