Vertu
 

Worth the money or a waste ???

Anyone own one ?


cheers

As I understand it, Vertu is a not-the-latest-technology Nokia. Everything 'worth it' is in the cover. And one day it will not even work anymore...

Why will it not work anymore ?

as i'm thinking of buying one this week.

Well it is just my experience that all electronic devices at least in my use will stop functioning properly some day. Be it the display, the keyboard or the power supply. Ok, my first mobiles don't function because there is no NMT network anymore.

Nothing Vertu specific. On the other hand, if something goes wrong with your Vertu, it will probably be worthwhile to repair it until you just are not satisfied with its functionality anymore.

Go for it. Which model?

I really like the signature reflective but like the feel of the Ascent Ti gonna be a hard choice!

warranty
 

the original vertu models had a lifetime warranty. I think they changed that at some point in the past few years to 24-48 months or something.

If you have to ask this question, then yes, it IS a waste of money.

Has anyone come up with a Vertu type laptop?

Yes, several brands have made one, they all look tacky.

The Tulip EGO comes to mind...

Most questions asked about these phones are just "look at me" posts, I know several people here with a Vertu and have never seen them post about it. As it should be :D

If you like F1 why not get the limited edition box set? That way you'll have all 6 of them. If you are going to go bling, might as well make it limited edition bling.

They only made 51 of them and I think you can still get one, at just $63k it's quite a bargain.

What is the value/purpose in purchasing a Vertu phone?

IMHO it screams "very new money".

63k and bargain :confused:

I dont wear a watch or rings so may as well have a nice phone.

Oh and people who use the word "new money" normally tend to have No money!! ;)

I want one of them now :(

No, people who use the words "new money" tend to have a lot of "old money" ;)
