&lt;div&gt;
Vertu is known for its range of Luxury Phones has come out with an 
Android smartphone. This time, the Vertu smartphone has an exclusive 
Bentley logo on its phone. A 3D logo of Bentley is on the back of the 
Vertu Phone.

The company has the reputation of making phones that are 
characteristically out of the reach of ordinary people. The Vertu 
Signature Touch too falls in the same category.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9QJXbIzItLlga9QOp0OvSYNZXTcma3jxqA64FKGaVBp6Y5gE9Cc-_zxDgNEN3-yCMP92juMFYH32pxtxxERUpS4OklzhiX2znRvhYjaKh5U9BjlmjmqlwibEyCZ-SKHAjC3fDQJrK/s1600/Signature-Touch-for-Bentley.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="206" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9QJXbIzItLlga9QOp0OvSYNZXTcma3jxqA64FKGaVBp6Y5gE9Cc-_zxDgNEN3-yCMP92juMFYH32pxtxxERUpS4OklzhiX2znRvhYjaKh5U9BjlmjmqlwibEyCZ-SKHAjC3fDQJrK/s400/Signature-Touch-for-Bentley.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The Signature Touch is a Android powered smartphone. The Vertu 
Signature Touch has a 5.2" display covered by sapphire display with a 
pixel density of 428ppi. It has a 21MP rear camera and a 2.1MP camera on
 the front. The Signature Touch for Bentley is powered by a Snapdragon 
810 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The luxury 
smartphone also includes a 64GB microSD card for expandable storage. It 
is a backed by a 3160 mAh battery with Quick Charging via micro-USB. 
However, the Signature Touch runs a Android 5.1 and there are no details
 about a Marshmallow update.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.gizbot.com/mobile/news/vertu-launches-signature-touch-android-smartphone-with-bentley-logo-030827.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The Signature Touch for Bentley is the result of five-year 
partnersip that the luxury automaker has with the luxury smartphone 
company. The specifications seem low given the price tag. The Vertu 
smartphone is made in England and not China. The Luxury Bentley edition 
smartphone is wrapped in "two-tone Beluga and Hotspur Bentley leather 
with Hotspur Stitching". The smartphone comes pre-loaded with a Bentley 
app that provides exclusive content and access to VIP events. The 
Smartphone can be integrated with Bentley cars through the app and seems
 a must have for a Bentley owner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.gizbot.com/mobile/news/vertu-launches-signature-touch-android-smartphone-with-bentley-logo-030827.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The cheapest Signature Touch is plain leather costs $9,000 
(approximately 6 lakhs) and can cost as high as $19,000 (approximately 
12.5 lakhs). The appearance of the phone can be customised with a choice
 of eight leather colors and 16 stitching options.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

Nokia
 set up Vertu as a luxury handset brand – the mobile equivalent of a 
handcrafted heirloom watch. Nokia exited the company in 2013; by then 
smartphones held sway. Expectation levels changed too. The 2010's Vertu 
customer didn’t just demand a luxurious product but also a smartphone 
that could hold its own against premier flagship devices. Does the Vertu Aster live up to that expectation?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbGtjcyoisOwwG8ubK7U14E78mnbO-IC5a7Vb7mokQ_zMqwXPxtXWFbI3qUTT6f2EjEslgtDngLQ0lGMabDI-GhP-vmt9iqq87EGuqUy15ecXl_b8ZbCWaACLzYDoN6OQcF8YgAk-/s1600/hqdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKbGtjcyoisOwwG8ubK7U14E78mnbO-IC5a7Vb7mokQ_zMqwXPxtXWFbI3qUTT6f2EjEslgtDngLQ0lGMabDI-GhP-vmt9iqq87EGuqUy15ecXl_b8ZbCWaACLzYDoN6OQcF8YgAk-/s400/hqdefault.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
the Aster is clearly for the same sort of customer who might buy the 
Apple Watch (18 Karat Gold) Edition on an impulse. A premium build and 
high grade components are a given. The Aster is designed to stand out in
 a meeting room; to show everyone who’s boss. It’s a beautiful blend of 
titanium and a calf leather back (you can customise the colour and the 
finish). The power button and volume rocker merge seamlessly into the 
right spine, crafted with titanium. A door on the rear of the device 
doesn’t just house the micro-SIM slot but also has the signature of the 
Vertu technician who built your mobile device. Yes, similar to a 
seasoned craftsman who handcrafted a pair of leather loafers. At 193g 
its reassuringly heavy. Disappointingly, there’s no fingerprint sensor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 The Aster is the entry-level (what?!) smartphone for the Vertu 
brand; the soon to be launched Signature Touch will don the mantle of 
the brand’s flagship device in India. The Aster packs a decent hardware 
spec sheet; it’s certainly not 2016-proof but has enough firepower to 
propel the device. At it’s heart is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core 
2.3 GHz&amp;nbsp;processor with 2GB of RAM. We put the Aster through our routine 
tests and the results were average – 31749 on the AnTuTu benchmark and a
 modest 2284 on PCMark. Clearly, these scores are not the benchmark that
 prospective Vertu customers would go by but they all add up 
nevertheless. Overall, the device handled multi-tasking and 
low-intensive gaming quite admirably but the presence of a dated version
 of Android (4.4 aka
 KitKat) is a clear dampener. The 2275mAh battery packs enough power for
 most users; we managed a full day (about 12 hours) with a mix of 
4G/Wi-Fi, WhatsApp, 15 minutes of gaming, some camera usage and video 
playback. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 The Aster comes with 64GB memory on-board; there’s no extendable 
memory option though. One of the big jumps is the 13MP camera. Vertu 
turned to Swedish photography expert Hasselblad
 for a superior camera experience. Hasselblad cameras were made famous 
by the images clicked as part of the Apollo space program (when the 
first humans landed on the moon). The Aster shooter produced some pretty
 good results across lighting scenarios. The 2.1 MP front cam is almost 
good enough for selfies in dim lighting; both cameras are protected with
 sapphire crystal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

 The 4.7-inch display is also reinforced with Sapphire crystal; 
that’s something even the Apple iPhone would be envious about. The 
display specs might be modest – 1920x1080 at 473 ppi, but it’s quite 
vibrant and text is crisp. The speaker belts out solid sound too; just 
in case you need to catch videos on the go. Aside from the superior 
quality materials, the Vertu’s biggest draw is its bespoke concierge 
service. You are just one click away from the best events in the world 
or a table at a Michelin star restaurant. While multiple apps double up 
as your personal digital assistant, Vertu’s concierge service is quite 
simply inimitable and something other luxury smartphone users have not 
managed to emulate. &lt;br /&gt;

 If just hardware specs were the only yardstick to evaluate a device,
 clearly the Vertu Aster is not at the top of the heap. Aside from the 
snob value, the Vertu experience is akin to a Saville Row suit; truly 
unique in the mobile space. Just in case you have a hefty festive bonus 
to splurge, the Aster might be one of the ways to spend it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;

You've got your 
apps, your browsers, your 3D Touch. What about a luxury phone that 
represents your elite lifestyle?&lt;br /&gt;

British luxury phone brand Vertu announced the New Signature Touch
 on Thursday. Depending on which one you get, from the jet calf model to
 the pure jet red gold, it starts at $9,000 and goes up to $19,000. 
You'll also have the option to personalize it with various colors, 
leathers, rare metals and an engraving.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="see-also"&gt;

Each phone is handmade in England. The cases are made from natural 
hides and leathers, including calfskin, lizard and alligator, all 
sourced in Europe. The outer casing is Grade 5 Titanium, used in the 
automotive and aerospace industries. The 5.2-inch 1080p scratchproof 
screen is made from 130 carat sapphire crystal, and the earpiece pillow 
is formed with Zirconia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
That's just the flash, though. Let's get into the tech specs. The New 
Signature Touch runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. The hardware includes the 
Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor with 64-bit computing on 8 
CPU cores, which means faster and smoother usability. The 21 megapixel 
main camera also has 4K video capture, and there's also a 2.1 megapixel 
wide aperture front camera. There's also 64GB of internal storage and 
4GB of RAM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
The luxury, allegedly, does not stop with the phone. The New Signature Touch comes with exclusive services,
 making your phone "a passport to a world of possibilities." With the 
phone comes a complimentary 18-month subscription to Vertu's dedicated 
concierge service. Contact a lifestyle manager at any time via live 
chat, email or telephone, and he or she will provide you with worldwide 
assistance: securing priority bookings, offering personal 
recommendations and other "local insider knowledge".&lt;br /&gt;

You'll get access to exclusive events like fashion shows, 
members-only clubs, sporting events and cultural experiences like 
exhibitions and red-carpet events — all because of an overpriced phone.&lt;br /&gt;

Lastly, and in probably the most practical of the additional 
services, you get security features: Remote Assist technology, encrypted
 communications services, global Wi-Fi connectivity via the iPass 
network and the Lost Phone Service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Edge just won't cut it. Vertu is offering the glamorous crowd a luxury 
smartphone with high-end specifications with an even higher price tag.&lt;br /&gt;

Right off the bat, a Vertu smartphone looks (and likely feels) like a
 true luxury item&amp;nbsp;with its elegant handcrafted leather and titanium 
case. The back plate opens via a gull-wing door for ease of access to 
the nano-SIM slot and MicroSD.&lt;br /&gt;

Money can buy a lot of good things and, apparently, this includes better phone specifications.
 A unit from the Vertue Signature Touch line offers 5.2-inch 1080p 
(FullHD) LCD display with a virtually shatterproof and scratch-proof 
Sapphire Crystal glass. Underneath, it runs with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 
810 SoC, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of onboard storage, up to 2TB of expandable 
storage with a MicroSD card, and a massive 3,160mAh battery.&lt;br /&gt;

The camera clocks in at 21 megapixels with f/2.2 aperture, dual-tone 
LED flash, face detection,&amp;nbsp;auto-focus, and 4K video recording&amp;nbsp;on its 
rear side. It is&amp;nbsp;coupled with an inferior, but good enough 2.1-megapixel
 front snapper for the million dollars selfie.&lt;br /&gt;The new model from 
the European luxury brand also offers support for Quick Charge 2.0, Qi 
Wireless Charging, and NFC connectivity among many others.&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu's smartphones are expensive for a reason. A couple of thousands
 of dollars will also get you "Dedicated Concierge" or the company's own
 point-of-contact that acts as a personal assistant. This feature is 
complimentary for 18 months.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzK8nche4GoNyEftsNzMWRKm2uHi6seaohUlbAp63RMMOlfJbBsucVuj4yzDeBQjjZ6UmKB-iCBIbBounPdp-s9MLs9MIjNHTAYFiTC1mfK8PqG5JcLwFgf1NcsOmEAwFnxOOQFL6/s1600/hqdefault.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzK8nche4GoNyEftsNzMWRKm2uHi6seaohUlbAp63RMMOlfJbBsucVuj4yzDeBQjjZ6UmKB-iCBIbBounPdp-s9MLs9MIjNHTAYFiTC1mfK8PqG5JcLwFgf1NcsOmEAwFnxOOQFL6/s400/hqdefault.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
To protect its high profile clientele, Vertu included encrypted communication
 by Silent Circle and an option to wipe or locate a lost or stolen 
smartphone. Partnership with iPass provides WiFi connection virtually 
anywhere in the world.&lt;br /&gt;

The phone will also come with subscription to Life or Certainty 
packages which will be your all-access pass to the world's most 
glamorous, most exclusive clubs, parties, and closed-door shopping 
events. Clearly, owning a Vertu phone will instantly grant you A 
List&amp;nbsp;status.&lt;br /&gt;

There are different variations&amp;nbsp;of Vertu Signature Touch units to 
choose from. The cheapest, entry level unit sells for US$9,000 (about 
AU$13,000) and it offers a calf leather case in either black or red. 
Next is a lizard skin smartphone in purple for US$10,100 (about 
AU$15,000) or black for US$11,200 (around AU$16,00). Moving up to the 
top of the reptile chain, an alligator skin encased smartphone sells for
 US$13,000 (approximately&amp;nbsp;AU$18,500) in black, US$14,000 (about 
AU$20,000) in navy, and US$16,600 (around&amp;nbsp;AU$24,000)in grey.&lt;br /&gt;

The most expensive unit is the quilted black calf leather with gold accents and it sells for US$19,000&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu understands your plight, which is why the luxury phone manufacturer just announced the Aster, a $6,900 hand-crafted smartphone constructed out of titanium.&lt;br /&gt;




The Aster will be offered in a range of back options which include 
calf leather in black, pink or blue. For an additional, $2,200, you can 
get a snake skin in black or orange, or you pay $9,700 to get the 
handset covered in ostrich skin in brown or purple.&lt;br /&gt;


While Vertu's first two
 devices in the Android segment were decidedly outdated by the time they
 launched (at least in terms of the internal hardware), the luxury phone
 manufacturer is looking to incorporate specs comparable to what the 
rest of us call high-end devices. As such, the Aster comes with a 
4.7-inch 1080p display on a 5.1-inch 117 carat sapphire screen (because 
114 carats just don't cut it anymore), 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 
CPU, 13-megapixel Hasselblad-certified camera with dual LED flash, 2.1 
MP front camera, NFC, Qi wireless charging, Wi-Fi ac, 19-band LTE 
connectivity and a 2,250mAh battery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&amp;nbsp;The device also comes with front stereo speakers with Dolby Digital Plus
 tuning and noise cancellation. One of the reasons as to why the Aster 
is more affordable is that it comes with a six month subscription to 
Vertu's concierge services as opposed to the yearly plan that is 
standard with higher-end models. As well as making the device more 
accessible, Vertu has announced that it will enter the e-commerce 
segment with Vertu Digital, through which interested customers will be 
able to customize and order their handsets online instead of visiting a 
boutique.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UMPGHv14j1slR4PXQAWeX9JdfVylGbOS1zoFKXFNcdNx1Uct2bkVHkcHv42VH63vZJvJs_nZNCvPRvho_VMhyphenhyphenW0yBBrLqdmt-fNU8X1ecIXFJLPalpihKI31Cwfn5QDuTNh3uHuB/s1600/Vertu_Header-658x364.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="221" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-UMPGHv14j1slR4PXQAWeX9JdfVylGbOS1zoFKXFNcdNx1Uct2bkVHkcHv42VH63vZJvJs_nZNCvPRvho_VMhyphenhyphenW0yBBrLqdmt-fNU8X1ecIXFJLPalpihKI31Cwfn5QDuTNh3uHuB/s400/Vertu_Header-658x364.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
Bentley is a brand synonymous with luxury and quality,&amp;nbsp;so 
when the company lends its name to a new smartphone, it’s not unfair to 
expect something pricy, but jaw-droppingly brilliant. You’d expect this 
bauble to be super-luxurious, with hardware&amp;nbsp;that makes top-end 
smartphones from other vendors want to go and weep quietly in a corner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="tt-wrapper inread " id="tt-wrapperb9e4c33" style="backface-visibility: hidden; height: 0px; left: -999em; margin-top: 0px; max-width: 100%; min-width: 230px; overflow: hidden; padding: 10px 0px; position: absolute; text-align: center; transform: translateZ(0px); transition: all 0.4s cubic-bezier(0.65, 0.52, 0.73, 0.43) 0s;"&gt;
 &lt;div class="tt-mention inread " id="tt-mentionb9e4c33"&gt;
ADVERTISING&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="tt-container inread " id="tt-containerb9e4c33"&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Except, that’s not what’s happened. Instead, Bentley&amp;nbsp;teamed 
up with another luxury&amp;nbsp;firm called Vertu to bring&amp;nbsp;the world the Vertu 
Signature for Bentley smartphone, a badly-specced phone with 2008-era 
hardware and software.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Its&amp;nbsp;claims of luxury stem from its ridiculous £14 500 &lt;em&gt;starting&lt;/em&gt;
 price tag (R275 550),&amp;nbsp;its “Beluga&amp;nbsp;Calf-skin Leather” backing and access
 to an exclusive “Vertu Concierge” service that is apparently “…designed
 to meet your every need, 24/7″. Press a button on the phone, and a real
 person picks up, ready to do whatever it is you need doing. Within 
reason, of course… probably.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Central to the phone’s design is the use of high-end, 
super-expensive materials like an 83-carat, nigh-on unbreakable sapphire
 screen, a key pad that uses&amp;nbsp;4.85 carat&amp;nbsp;ruby bearings and, perhaps most 
importantly to Bentley owners, the option to personalise the phone to 
look as much like the Bentley they drive as possible.&lt;br /&gt;

That’s all well and good if your ambitions include looking 
like the world’s most pretentious douchebag, just don’t let anyone 
use&amp;nbsp;the thing because, quite frankly, they’re going to laugh at you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

That’s because it&amp;nbsp;uses Nokia’s very old Series 40 operating 
system from the days of its mid-tiered feature phones – yes, really – 
and is&amp;nbsp;powered by a&amp;nbsp;processor Vertu’s page doesn’t list. If that wasn’t 
bad enough, the phone sports a TWO INCH LCD screen, has a keypad rather 
than touch functionality, 4GB of internal storage and a battery so tiny 
it only provides&amp;nbsp;five and a half hours of power, &lt;br /&gt;


For a phone that costs considerably more than the annual 
salary of a mid-level manager in a big company, that’s beyond laughable,
 leading us to believe the target market is indeed rich twits&amp;nbsp;with more 
money than sense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

And that starting price?&amp;nbsp;That’s what you’ll pay if you &lt;em&gt;don’t&lt;/em&gt; add&amp;nbsp;gold, titanium, platinum, diamond, or alligator skin to it, all of which are options, apparently.&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu has other phones on offer that are better-specced and 
prettier than this one, of course, so&amp;nbsp;the fact that this one is even a 
thing is a puzzle all of its own.&lt;br /&gt;

If you were super-rich and drove a Bentley, would you pick one up? After all, what’s a R275 000 phone when you drive a R4m car?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Me, I’d rather have a four-GPU, three-screen 12K PC gaming&amp;nbsp;rig setup than this thing, but then I have more sense than money.&lt;br /&gt;

 luxury devices and have kept tabs on the company over the past few 
years. Their latest creation, the Vertu Pure Jet Red Gold, is actually 
one of their more “plain” smartphones, but it will still set you back a 
staggering $23,100.&lt;br /&gt;

The last time we checked in on Vertu, they had just released the &lt;a href="http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2015/02/05/vertu-clous-de-paris-arrives-in-time-for-valentines-day-with-a-19000-price-tag/" target="_blank"&gt;Vertu Clous De Paris&lt;/a&gt;
 for Valentine’s Day. The month isn’t over, but they are back with 
another device dubbed the Vertu Pure Jet Red Gold. It may lack some of 
the glitz and glam of its predecessors, but it is one of the classier 
handsets you’ll see – if you actually ever see one in person. Not many 
folks will be walking around with a Jet Red Gold in their pocket.&lt;br /&gt;

The Vertu Pure Jet Red Gold may be stylish, but its specs are the 
same as what you’ll find in several of their other handsets. That said, 
it has plenty of power with a Snapdragon 801 and 2GB of RAM and you’ll 
have plenty of storage with 64GB. Other features to note include 
wireless charging, hi-fi speakers, a 13MP rear camera and a 4.7-inch FHD
 display covered in Sapphire crystal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhOJNrgbh_R8C0790tTtsz8-b5xt1uZDJ_faa_SM7mIj-5A3IqCa4yt3zA4-Rh-CFdj9qiryuGcUSSaiZFNBcyu5qp-s9V61jIcSB9y3mryGNDRliGE7geu1RO1_zLp2srNKZz19JW/s1600/vertu.pure_.jet_.red_.gold_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhOJNrgbh_R8C0790tTtsz8-b5xt1uZDJ_faa_SM7mIj-5A3IqCa4yt3zA4-Rh-CFdj9qiryuGcUSSaiZFNBcyu5qp-s9V61jIcSB9y3mryGNDRliGE7geu1RO1_zLp2srNKZz19JW/s1600/vertu.pure_.jet_.red_.gold_resize.jpg" height="384" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for the extras, you will get 1-2 months concierge service along 
with access to their “Life” and “Certainty” programs. A few of the perks
 from those programs include VIP sporting event packages, Silent Circle 
communication services and access to private members clubs. The titanium
 and leather design with the Red Gold accents scream luxury as well.&lt;br /&gt;

If you have a whole lot of extra cash lying around or just really 
love smartphones, the Vertu Pure Jet Red Gold can be yours for $23,100. 
It’s still cheaper than some of the gold and diamond encrusted devices 
we’ve seen in the past, but it’s certainly not going to be a device for 
everyone.&lt;br /&gt;

manufacturer of luxury, handmade mobile phones…established in 1998 by 
the Finnish manufacturer of Nokia. &amp;nbsp;They were subsequently sold to a 
private equity group&amp;nbsp;but retained a 10-percent share.&amp;nbsp; By the end of 
2013, Vertu has sold 350,000 devices and seem to be&amp;nbsp;most popular in 
Russia, Asia and the Middle East.&amp;nbsp; The idea was if people are willing to
 spend $20,000 for a watch, why not a handcrafted smartphone.&amp;nbsp; Vertu 
refers to them as “mobile communications instruments,” not simply mobile
 phones.&amp;nbsp; While they make their own models, they also produce limited 
edition devices and have collaborated with the likes of Ferrari and 
Bentley.&amp;nbsp; While there is no questioning the quality of the workmanship, 
their specifications are usually ‘yesterday’s news.’&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx7IQHsHqkQFSmICJU65lvKYCge5XCW9pPA1oS7onibYEYD-yw2al7WKphOtJ-6LMjW83jc-Rw0Yernyxq7f7TNbgWlSXl5at5ZkqcB8XrlGNsS4_IzdYocWc1JWtpv7NH35v6p6xO/s1600/Vertu-Pure-Jet-Gold-Main-Pic_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgx7IQHsHqkQFSmICJU65lvKYCge5XCW9pPA1oS7onibYEYD-yw2al7WKphOtJ-6LMjW83jc-Rw0Yernyxq7f7TNbgWlSXl5at5ZkqcB8XrlGNsS4_IzdYocWc1JWtpv7NH35v6p6xO/s1600/Vertu-Pure-Jet-Gold-Main-Pic_resize.jpg" height="326" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vertu’s latest model belongs to their Signature Touch collection, 
will run you $23,100 and is aptly named, Pure Jet Red Gold. &amp;nbsp;It has 
solid red gold features, including the volume control keys, power/lock 
key and on the pillow support.&amp;nbsp; The main body is made out of Grade 5 
titanium coated in black PVD and wrapped in black calf leather, “from 
the Alpine region of Europe and crafted by one of the oldest 
tanneries.”&amp;nbsp; Its design makes a bold and beautiful statement…which is 
exactly what it is supposed to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The Pure Jet Red Gold model uses only “world-renowned” companies such
 as Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen (B&amp;amp;O) for its sound components, Hasselblad 
for its camera, Qualcomm for its processor and even the ring tones are 
produced by the London Symphony Orchestra.&amp;nbsp; They offer 24-hour worldwide
 concierge service, exclusive access to cultural events and 24/7 remote 
access technical support and Kaspersky anti-virus and anti-theft 
protection.&lt;br /&gt;

As far as technical aspects – it has a 4.7-inch FHD sapphire crystal 
display with 473 pixels-per-inch (PPI).&amp;nbsp; It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 
801 quad-core processor clocked at 2.3GHz and 64GB of internal memory.&amp;nbsp; 
It sports a 13MP main camera with autofocus and dual-LED flash.&amp;nbsp; The 
front-facing camera (FFC) is 2.1MP for video chatting.&amp;nbsp; It also comes 
with 13mm x 18mm stereo high fidelity speakers with built-in Dolby 
Digital Plus surround sound support.&amp;nbsp; The battery is 2275mAh and is Qi 
compatible for wireless charging.&amp;nbsp; It comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, 
NFC support and a microUSB port. &amp;nbsp;It is running on Android 4.4 KitKat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Please look over the photo gallery and you can see what your $23,000 
will buy you…but you know the old saying, “If you have to ask the 
price…”&lt;br /&gt;

Last month we reported
 about the luxury phone market as an emerging growth sector in the 
smartphone market. Well, add another beautiful phone to the growing list
 of luxury phones. Bellperre has announced a new phone, the Touch, which
 will try to compete against the likes of Vertu
 and Lamborghini. A luxury smartphone is a phone that cost over $2,000 
USD. The Bellperre certainly fits that criteria with a price tag of 
around $3,000 to $3,430 depending on the types of materials you wish to 
use for your work of art.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUoUO13ENI8Yq0sram29868liBigGTxSJmDht4S6qVKLUfdmEzBSi_LunrkFanwtFK_A0G-iHVi5Rv12b1oi031rjoWXM4bmYOVruUpo79jBS0kIgqXxD7L1YqiZ18w9nUTsMb7z_f/s1600/Bellperre_luxury_phone_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUoUO13ENI8Yq0sram29868liBigGTxSJmDht4S6qVKLUfdmEzBSi_LunrkFanwtFK_A0G-iHVi5Rv12b1oi031rjoWXM4bmYOVruUpo79jBS0kIgqXxD7L1YqiZ18w9nUTsMb7z_f/s1600/Bellperre_luxury_phone_resize.jpg" height="226" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The Bellperre Touch is made out of 236L 
stainless steel and your choice of either American buffalo or alligator 
leather that comes in a plethora of colors. The cool part about the 
leather is what the company calls, “Touch Through Leather Technology.” 
This comes in the form of a leather strip located below the screen that 
allows for touch controls such as the home and back button. The Touch 
also comes with a 4.9” Super AMOLED display that has sapphire crystal 
glass to reduce scratches and fingerprints. But don’t let the beauty of 
it’s outside fool you. This phone is every bit tough and is capable of 
taking the normal impacts as well as being flame resistant…you know, in 
case you want to make a call while grilling some steaks poolside.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
In terms of other specifications, the 
Bellperre Touch is average. It has a dual-core processor running at 
1.5GHz, 2GB of RAM and 48GB of internal storage. It also comes with NFC,
 Bluetooth, and also has LTE. These features are combined with an 
8-megapixel rear camera and a 1.9-megapixel front camera. The display 
has a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
The specs are about the same as a normal 
mid-range phone. However, take into consideration that the Vertu cost 
over $20,000 so this phone is definitely a bargain in terms of the 
luxury phone market. Still it would be nice to have a better display, 
better camera, and a much better processor if you are going to shell out
 $3,000. But the point of the luxury phone market is not about specs, it
 is about looks and status. The Bellperre Touch certainly delivers on 
both of those requirements. It should be noted that these phones are 
assembled by hand and thus no two phones are alike. So for $3,000 you 
get a one of a kind device that is beautiful and elegant and sure to 
turn a few heads.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;

The Aster will be offered in a range of back options which include 
calf leather in black, pink or blue. For an additional, $2,200, you can

 launched (at least in terms of the internal hardware), the luxury phone
 manufacturer is looking to incorporate specs comparable to what the 
rest of us call high-end devices. As such, the Aster comes with a 
4.7-inch 1080p display on a 5.1-inch 117 carat sapphire screen (because 
114 carats just don't cut it anymore), 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 
CPU, 13-megapixel Hasselblad-certified camera with dual LED flash, 2.1 
MP front camera, NFC, Qi wireless charging, Wi-Fi ac, 19-band LTE 
connectivity and a 2,250mAh battery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;


The device also comes with front stereo speakers with Dolby Digital 
Plus tuning and noise cancellation. One of the reasons as to why the 
Aster is more affordable is that it comes with a six month subscription 
to Vertu's concierge services as opposed to the yearly plan that is 
standard with higher-end models. As well as making the device more 
accessible, Vertu has announced that it will enter the e-commerce 
segment with Vertu Digital, through which interested customers will be 
able to customize and order their handsets online instead of visiting a 
boutique.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the average consumer, you have your basic entry-level smartphones
 that probably won’t cost you more than $100, but if you wanted 
something better, you could opt for flagship models that will cost you 
anywhere between $500-$700. However there are models that are priced 
even higher and not because of its hardware specs, but rather the 
materials that they are made with.&amp;nbsp;You might have heard of Vertu, the 
company that specializes in luxury phones, and they’re back with a new lineup of smartphones for their Diamond collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
These
 smartphones are based on Vertu’s Signature Touch and Vertu Aster 
smartphones, depending on which model you are going for. The top of the 
line model is the Pure Jet Alligator Diamonds which uses the Vertu 
Signature Touch as its base. It will feature 124 white diamonds that 
have been set on a pillow of gold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKalZcDvfX26mhnuY1yaABJUCEbJgUAwfmetOUHeJxtRmjbIsOshSya1Js9cBYrEc0-yH4K5q6PtOdzod5NBOCLot4q3_5fttNjOeTIdVMtyVV4K85DC8Br_N5Zbn78M3GBYjxAbF/s1600/vertu-alligator-2-1024x655-640x410.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnKalZcDvfX26mhnuY1yaABJUCEbJgUAwfmetOUHeJxtRmjbIsOshSya1Js9cBYrEc0-yH4K5q6PtOdzod5NBOCLot4q3_5fttNjOeTIdVMtyVV4K85DC8Br_N5Zbn78M3GBYjxAbF/s1600/vertu-alligator-2-1024x655-640x410.jpg" height="256" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;It features white gold detail on the stereo sound bar, a jet-black 
ceramic pillow, and will also sport alligator skin that wraps around the
 back of the smartphone. This bad boy will set you back a whopping 
€15,900. If you’d rather not spend that much, there is also the Diamonds
 Red Alligator which is based on the Vertu Aster.&lt;br /&gt;
This phone will 
feature 55 white diamonds, red alligator skin, and will skip on the gold
 detailing. It will be priced at €8,900 which still isn’t exactly cheap 
or affordable by any means, but still cheaper than the Pure Jet 
Alligator Diamonds.&lt;br /&gt;

The British manufacturer and retailer of luxury phones has now 
collaborated with Bentley for its latest take on mobile phones —&amp;nbsp;the Vertu for Bentley.&lt;br /&gt;

The Vertu for Bentley provides luxury car owners with a mobile device that is well suited for their Bentley vehicle.&lt;br /&gt;

Aside from carrying the popular Bentley trademark and Vertu's 
traditional features, the smartphone reportedly comes with decent specs 
and is expected to show off reliable performance.&lt;br /&gt;

Taking after a&amp;nbsp;high-end smartphone,
 the Vertu for Bentley is powered by a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm 
Snapdragon 801 processor, although its RAM has not yet been detailed. 
Nonetheless, the device has been speculated to come with 2 GB of RAM.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiroQGz5uDLNzkZRp69g-szN60n6LFb5XZvl0ibUFdvx8Ifc42VCAjN7KiNUcEBOc665xW86H9-r0-nDA6n25UN7Z50Gnc4A2QPFkH6l7uvDKof90hZbehGOHjWMO9HbWCa4fz4oGMo/s1600/vertu-for-bentley-smartphone.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiroQGz5uDLNzkZRp69g-szN60n6LFb5XZvl0ibUFdvx8Ifc42VCAjN7KiNUcEBOc665xW86H9-r0-nDA6n25UN7Z50Gnc4A2QPFkH6l7uvDKof90hZbehGOHjWMO9HbWCa4fz4oGMo/s1600/vertu-for-bentley-smartphone.png" height="320" width="285" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The company has specified that the Vertu for Bentley will come with a
 64 GB internal storage and will have a 1080p display in its 4.7-inch 
screen. Interestingly, the screen is well protected by sapphire crystal 
glass while the body of the smartphone comes with calf leather.&lt;br /&gt;

Titanium back plates can be opened to show the signature of the 
manufacturer behind the device whereas a ceramic pillow can be found at 
the top of the phone, revealing a distinct feature similar to Bentley's 
vehicles. The car company's logo can also be seen in the metal wings in 
the front of the device near its mouthpiece.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The latest Android 4.4 version has been integrated into the 
smartphone and its 2275 mAh battery cell is expected to last up to a 
maximum of 380 hours when on standby. Vertu's collaborative effort with 
Dolby and Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen will also be experienced first-hand by 
users once they begin turning up the phone's tunes.&lt;br /&gt;

The Vertu for Bentley will be made available this November with an estimated price of $16,500.&lt;br /&gt;

While the device will reportedly be released as a limited edition 
smartphone with only 2,000 handsets to be manufactured, Vertu's 
partnership with Bentley will still generate four other luxury mobile 
phones in the future with details still to be announced.&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu developed the &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6"&gt;phone&lt;/span&gt; alongside British auto maker Bentley Motors Ltd as part of a five-year &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1"&gt;partnership&lt;/span&gt;. The smartphone &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4"&gt;costs&lt;/span&gt; £10,700 &lt;br /&gt;
(US$17,215). It was developed specifically for Bentley car owners and enthusiasts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;"Exclusive Bentley content will appeal to drivers, travelers and brand enthusiasts, through a partnership that delivers on both technology and touch." said Wolfgang Dürheimer, CEO of Bentley Motors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

"Today, we see the marriage of two great brands with an international presence and quintessential British &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8"&gt;heritage&lt;/span&gt; and character."&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu for Bentley sports a frame made of calf leather using Bentley's classic signature. The phone was built from titanium and assembled by hand.&lt;br /&gt;

It has a 4.7 inch display with a 1080 x 1920 resolution and comes with Bentley's famous logo on the front. It runs the &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2"&gt;Android 4&lt;/span&gt;.4 kitkat operating system and supports 4G LTE, NFC and Bluetooth connectivity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Under the hood, it has a 2.3GHz quad-core Qualcomm &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9"&gt;Snapdragon&lt;/span&gt; 801 &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD5"&gt;processor&lt;/span&gt; and a 64GB memory and is powered by a 2,275 mAh battery.&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu collaborated with Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen and Dolby for the phone's 
sound tuning. The British company also worked with Swedish camera 
equipment maker Hasselblad on the phone's 13 megapixel camera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu integrated a 24-hour concierge service with the phone along with a 12 month subscription that provides drivers with a dedicated manager and assistance.&lt;br /&gt;

"We're confident that the Vertu for Bentley &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3"&gt;phones&lt;/span&gt; will appeal to our mutual &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7"&gt;customers&lt;/span&gt;' desire for sophistication, craftsmanship and precision engineering." said Massimiliano Pogliani, Vertu CEO.&lt;br /&gt;

Vertu announced the release of the Aster, its “mid-tier” luxury phone, 
starting at $6,900, although it hardly qualifies as just that.&lt;br /&gt;
 
The titanium Android device is the company’s follow-up to the 
Constellation and Signature Touch devices. But, unlike Vertu’s previous 
iterations, the Aster is slightly less expensive and, with its beveled 
sides and rich color palette, created with a female consumer in mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivR1tL3Ds-etywwGdOGo01waQnVYs920V8s5DL4zyYP7orEUcO-J5N4GK-apcYOKkldc5fG0mmBvtQuxE8_mnmGEgwbVcEtkg2DaBSmx2ELc8f9EIX0aG7tVh8VfqwGN71tiuvFq1q/s1600/vertu_aster_phone_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivR1tL3Ds-etywwGdOGo01waQnVYs920V8s5DL4zyYP7orEUcO-J5N4GK-apcYOKkldc5fG0mmBvtQuxE8_mnmGEgwbVcEtkg2DaBSmx2ELc8f9EIX0aG7tVh8VfqwGN71tiuvFq1q/s1600/vertu_aster_phone_resize.jpg" height="228" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each Vertu device is handmade in England by a single craftsman. They 
come with Dolby Digital Plus virtual surround sound (ensuring better 
sound quality than many televisions), six months’ complimentary access 
to global Wi-Fi and access to exclusive services, including Vertu Life 
and Vertu Certainty, an anti-theft, anti-virus system that includes data
 encryption and remote assistance.&lt;br /&gt;
 
But perhaps the most useful of the services, especially for the world
 traveler the company considers its main clientele, Vertu Classic 
Concierge cultivates experiences for the user depending on the city he 
or she is in. So, whether you’re vacationing in Paris or have a business
 trip in London, someone who lives in the city will be on the other end 
of the line to give you suggestions and tips.&lt;br /&gt;
 
But for $6,900, customers will receive plenty more, including a 
Hasselblad-certified 13mp rear camera with a sapphire crystal lens and 
4.7” full HD display, also protected by the 5.1” sapphire crystal 
screen. &amp;nbsp;The handset also features a Snapdragon 801 Quad-core processor 
and LTE 4G capability.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;The differences between the Signature Touch’s $10,800 base price and the
 Aster include the sound quality, services offered (the Aster comes with
 a shorter concierge subscription, just six months instead of 12, 
although users can renew it) and material. But with exterior options 
including calf, snake or ostrich skin (which increases the price to 
$9,700), it’s hard to be too disappointed.&lt;br /&gt;

We’ve told you that Vertu is preparing to launch another smartphone and voila – it’s here. Like any other Vertu device, the Aster isn’t made for the mass market but for the very few who can actually afford it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqOPRStilL6bXhWf4F30ZmsYp7WXwufSCwga5qjcnFDYlQYkugqLhOR_4URjdRISzOgaYw4ItsGpyQFmrSikxC3FLY6eVIBd8QRVtBXUE-UF6eynQPY-mCfzgEwuJ0L7Umh2lvArJ/s1600/vertu-aster_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitqOPRStilL6bXhWf4F30ZmsYp7WXwufSCwga5qjcnFDYlQYkugqLhOR_4URjdRISzOgaYw4ItsGpyQFmrSikxC3FLY6eVIBd8QRVtBXUE-UF6eynQPY-mCfzgEwuJ0L7Umh2lvArJ/s1600/vertu-aster_2.jpg" height="230" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
 company’s latest piece of jewelry starts at £4,200 (about $6,785 or 
€5,350) depending on the materials being used. The phone’s body, 
handcrafted in England, is made out of exquisite materials such as 
“Grade 5 titanium alloy” as well as various types of leather (calf, 
karung and ostrich).&lt;br /&gt;
Specs wise, the Aster packs a 4.7-inch 
“virtually scratch-proof” sapphire crystal display with full HD (1080 x 
1920 pixels) resolution, Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 quad-core chip clocked 
at 2.3GHz, 2GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage, LTE, NFC, Dolby Digital
 Plus surround sound and a 2275 mAh battery. When it comes to the 
camera, users get a Hasselblad-certified 13MP rear camera with dual LED 
flash as well as a 2.1MP selfie shooter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside the device 
itself, Vertu phone buyers also get to benefit from access to exclusive 
services like Vertu Classic Concierge, Vertu Life, and Vertu Certainty.&lt;br /&gt;
The
 Aster measures 143.4 x 69 x 11.2 mm and has a weight of 193 grams. It 
is by far the best luxury smartphone we’ve seen to date. Alas, because 
of its steep price tag, owning it will be the privilege of the very few 
people on the planet. And if you happen to be in that group, please 
consider advertising on IntoMobile.&lt;br /&gt;

 that "technology will be more a merging factor and not a 
differentiation point" for his phones. That's literally the case with 
the new mid-tier Aster launched today: This titanium Android device is 
identical to its flagship sibling device internally, just wrapped within
 a more contemporary and unisex design. We're looking at a 4.7-inch 
1080p display, 5.1-inch 117 carat sapphire screen, 2.3GHz quad-core 
Snapdragon 801 chipset, 13MP/2.1MP cameras (the former certified by 
Hasselblad), 64GB of internal storage, 2,275mAh battery, front stereo 
speakers, NFC, Qi wireless charging and great LTE compatibility (though 
no love for China, for some reason). With the specs out of the way, 
let's look at why this swanky phone starts from $6,900 or £4,200.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdLpcE4ADTWIA-WuCTquy1ojJWKLJNq7-hmgW8s9jmmEZMhxQ66m1DJI8KW9SRqZQ-6ljvvCaGE2bLo9mSxF2H5ApWyX3dqp_DDD5D_-1Pk-SZ8sO49jGRW_BKoobHLZYSitLur8uC/s1600/Vertu-Aster_resize.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdLpcE4ADTWIA-WuCTquy1ojJWKLJNq7-hmgW8s9jmmEZMhxQ66m1DJI8KW9SRqZQ-6ljvvCaGE2bLo9mSxF2H5ApWyX3dqp_DDD5D_-1Pk-SZ8sO49jGRW_BKoobHLZYSitLur8uC/s1600/Vertu-Aster_resize.jpg" height="183" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;While the Aster is technically the successor of the Constellation,
 the former avoided the path of screen enlargement (from the Ti's 
3.7-inch screen to the Constellation's 4.3-inch) while managing to bring
 back the iconic V-pillow. By keeping the same 4.7-inch screen size on 
both the Signature Touch and the Aster, Vertu could risk losing appeal 
to a wider audience, especially in China where phablets are the norm. But Pogliani opted for a more sensible strategy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
"Vertu is not here to follow general mass market mobile trends; our 
technology is leading edge but it doesn't have to be bleeding edge. The 
same goes for the physical design of Vertu products. The nature of our 
customers and of our products mean that we have to develop what is right
 for them, not follow generic broader industry design themes that may be
 more fleeting than those of the luxury market.&lt;br /&gt;
"Many of our customers desire and appreciate compact size Vertu 
products that comfortably fit the inside the pocket of a well-tailored 
suit or in an expensive clutch bag."&lt;br /&gt;
The CEO added that this also has nothing to do with the cost of 
sapphire, and he even said it's possible that his company might offer 
larger screen sizes in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
Much like the other Vertu handsets, the Aster is offered with a range
 of skins and colors. The base price gets you calf leather in black, 
pink or blue, while £5,600/$9,100 gets you shiny snake skin in black or 
orange (the latter is this author's favorite), and you can max out at 
£5,900/$9,700 -- a "little" below the Signature Touch's £6,750/$10,300 
base price -- for ostrich skin in brown or purple. This is pretty much 
why the Aster comes in at 11.2mm thick, which is just a tad more than 
the Signature Touch's.&lt;br /&gt;

 is best known for making ludicrously expensive mobile handsets that are
 slathered with gems and precious metals. The Vertu Ti is the firm's 
latest effort, an Android-powered smartphone that features a titanium 
chassis and a sapphire-crystal screen. &lt;br /&gt;
Starting at $9,600 (with 
design variants that hike the price up to nearly $20,000), this 
ridiculous mobile phone will do little to tempt discerning shoppers. If 
you're curious as to what nearly $10,000 worth of smartphone gets you 
however, then read on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjj1vTHCB-T0dCgbkZ-zoEMgxlnwEgFu22qTuQCTRkEZImqy-m0l9WPPHiXkvb_q8YyU-ZMPlbDaUGqHJxSeVYf9v3AfrqibNxmMVjSFgaQl9-0y1FlZx1u9m64ogV5CMDrlyK3sz/s1600/vertu-android-smartphone.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjj1vTHCB-T0dCgbkZ-zoEMgxlnwEgFu22qTuQCTRkEZImqy-m0l9WPPHiXkvb_q8YyU-ZMPlbDaUGqHJxSeVYf9v3AfrqibNxmMVjSFgaQl9-0y1FlZx1u9m64ogV5CMDrlyK3sz/s400/vertu-android-smartphone.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;Design&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Looking like a prop from a bad science fiction serial, the Ti lacks the 
demure styling of the iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy S3, instead opting for 
all-out glam. This translates into leather wrapped around the body of 
the phone, glossy chromatic metal edging, and an angular logo badge atop
 the screen, which makes the Ti look like it's permanently frowning. On 
the back there's a chunky module that houses the Ti's 8-megapixel camera
 and an LED flash. &lt;br /&gt;
Vertu boasts that its choice of pricey materials 
make the Ti practically indestructible. The titanium case, the company 
claims, is roughly five times tougher than the cases around most cell 
phones, and flexes less than 1mm when a 500 Newton force is applied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That's
 handy if you often find your phone slipping out of your hands, but bear
 in mind that for a device that's five times more durable than rival 
mobile devices, you will be dropping down more than 10 times as much 
cash. Ouch. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vertu also claims that the Ti's sapphire-crystal screen was 
thoroughly tested, with a single drop of a 110g ball bearing, in fact --
 an experiment I can't see anyone who spends this much on a mobile phone
 hurrying to replicate. Beyond knowing that your display is several 
degrees sturdier and fancier than anyone's in the room, however, I 
suspect there's little real benefit in this panel when it comes to using
 the touch screen or in terms of picture quality. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Concierge, and Android software&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
Buying the Ti does net you 
access to Vertu's white-glove Concierge service, which puts a real-life 
human on speed-dial for tasks like booking travel tickets or 
accommodation. Two other Vertu apps are touted: Life, which offers 
articles and tailored information that Vertu thinks will suit you 
(perhaps selected editorial from What Palace and Doric Column), and 
Certainty, which sounds like a cloud storage service for backing up your
 phone. All three of these fancy-pants services are summoned by tapping 
the ruby button on the back of the phone. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The
 Ti is powered by Android, giving you access to thousands of apps via 
Google Play, and home screens on which to plant widgets and organize 
apps. Unfortunately the Ti runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, rather 
than 4.2 Jelly Bean, the latest edition. As such you'll miss out on 
treats like Photo Sphere and Google Now -- a service that provides 
information based on factors such as your location and search history.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Not-so high-end hardware&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
The behind-the-curve features don't end with older Android software, as the Ti is stuffed with components that would see the LG Nexus 4
 stifling a grin. You get a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, rather than the 
quad-core chips that are becoming standard in dramatically cheaper 
smartphones, and a screen that's smaller than the iPhone 5's. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As well as the 8-megapixel camera on the back (which nabs 1080p video
 capture), there's a 1.2-megapixel snapper on the front, for video chats
 with your butler or yacht crew. &lt;br /&gt;
Vertu's made room for 64GB of 
storage inside this phone, however, which is a healthy amount. When 
you're paying this much, plenty of space for your movies and music is 
the least you'd expect, though. NFC is also along for the ride, but 
while this contactless technology has potential and could soon be used 
to make mobile payments in shops, there's not a great deal you can do 
with it currently. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Sky-high prices&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Ti starts at $9,600 for the black leather version you can see 
above, though if you want something really luxurious, there are even 
more-costly iterations available: $11,500 gets you a "Pure Black" model,
 and a "Black Alligator" option sets you back $12,800. At the very top 
of the range is a "Titanium Red Gold Mixed Metals" offering, which costs
 an eye-watering $19,900. Note that paying more only gets you pricier 
materials, while the specifications stay the same.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Hands-on&lt;/b&gt; I
 can verify first hand that the Ti feels quite heavy to hold, likely as a
 result of all the materials crammed into its chassis. It's chunky too, 
and is a lot thicker than oh-so-slim mobiles like the iPhone 5. To its 
credit, while the processor isn't the fastest in the West, the Ti 
doesn't feel sluggish to use, with menus and apps loading with a 
pleasing snap.&lt;br /&gt;
In the flesh this phone does look -- and feel -- 
luxurious, thanks to plenty of glistening metal detail and sturdy build 
quality. It exudes opulence, but glittering jewels and alligator skin 
won't satisfy those craving a simple, demure smart phone, and the 
ostentatious look of this phone could put potential buyers off just as 
quickly as the high price tag.&lt;br /&gt;
Would you ever pay thousands of 
dollars for a phone, or do you find the current crop of top-tier mobiles
 more than expensive enough already? Fee free to voice your opinion in 
the comments section.&lt;br /&gt;

launched VERTU TI, a new contemporary smartphone powered by Android. 
Based around a titanium case that has been used for its strength, 
elegance and low weight, VERTU TI also uses leather accents as well as 
the largest sapphire crystal screen ever engineered at 3.7 inches. The 
sapphire crystal renders the screen virtually scratch proof and it is 
tested to be four times stronger than other smart phones in terms of 
impact resistance. VERTU TI’s titanium case is around five times 
stronger than other smart phones, deforming less than 1mm when a 500NM 
force is applied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The result is a phone that feels solid and beautifully crafted in the hand while offering unrivalled durability.&lt;br /&gt;
VERTU TI combines distinctive Vertu design cues, such as the ceramic 
pillow and exposed watch screws, with a clean overall aesthetic, the 
result of which is a product that conveys a timeless elegance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzm-nEWX53ogwiEC2LPBrKR6Z3xvdk4af781IxFQE1SClPWIgxNHR3vWynB6oMt3ywxDYV8sSIBJB-d5g2oTfcEO6-p_0lgcLawNLnXVPOuu8QJLYU3ptq4yisdo7fRlJ0jsbxO-5w/s1600/mg_vertu-ti.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzm-nEWX53ogwiEC2LPBrKR6Z3xvdk4af781IxFQE1SClPWIgxNHR3vWynB6oMt3ywxDYV8sSIBJB-d5g2oTfcEO6-p_0lgcLawNLnXVPOuu8QJLYU3ptq4yisdo7fRlJ0jsbxO-5w/s400/mg_vertu-ti.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
VERTU TI is powered by Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich operating system,
 which in combination with the devices 1.7 GHz processor makes for an 
intuitive, highly reactive and enjoyable experience. Other features 
include an 8MP rear camera with auto focus and twin LED flash, a 1.3MP 
front facing Skype compliant camera, 64GB internal memory and secure 
near field communication technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another example of Vertu’s continued commitment to superior 
craftsmanship and engineering is VERTU TI’s audio ability. Its 11 x 15 
mm rectangular drivers are acoustically integrated into the chassis to 
maximize frequency response and level. The result is an unrivalled 
symphonic sound from the phones own stereo speakers.&lt;br /&gt;
A new feature of VERTU TI is the Vertu key, which provides instant 
access to a curated world of benefits and services available via a 
global team of professionals available to customers wherever they may 
be, 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. These services include Vertu 
Certainty, which helps protect the device, its data and, where 
necessary, the customer. Vertu Life - tailored information, articles and
 benefits - sits alongside Vertu’s famous Concierge Service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Massimiliano Pogliani, Vertu’s Global Chief Marketing and Communications
 Officer, said, “VERTU TI is the most rounded product that we have ever 
designed. The new Android platform and elegant physical presence 
combined with Vertu’s renowned curated benefits and services deliver a 
unique and exceptional proposition.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vertu’s Head of Global Design, Ignacio Germade said, “VERTU TI is a 
pivotal product for Vertu. It is where the timelessness of Vertu design 
meets contemporary technological elements. Long-standing Vertu customers
 will appreciate the style, the weight and the materials while those yet
 to experience Vertu products will engage with the clean, elegant lines,
 superior feel and contemporary operation.”&lt;br /&gt;
“As Vertu continues to grow, we will develop a design language that will
 satisfy the large number of our customers that appreciate classic 
simplicity of ranges such as Signature, while reaching out to new 
customers with hand crafted, elegant designs and technology that engages
 and inspires.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vertu President and CEO, Perry Oosting said, “VERTU TI is our most 
significant product for a decade. Android 4.0 delivers a proven and 
intuitive environment for users while the design and craftsmanship of 
the handset remains uniquely Vertu. Vertu has pioneered and led the 
luxury mobile phone sector since we began in the late 90s and the great 
depth of our knowledge and experience can be seen in VERTU TI. There is 
nothing else like it.”&lt;br /&gt;
VERTU TI now means that our customers can leave the house in the morning
 with just this phone in their pocket or bag without the need for any 
other device.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each VERTU TI is handmade in England by a single craftsman at Vertu’s 
state-of-the-art headquarters in Hampshire. It is then signed by that 
craftsman on completion of a rigorous testing and detailing process 
before being shipped to buyers via one of over 500 stores around the 
world. Vertu’s global sales turnover rose for the third consecutive year
 in 2012, continuing a trend that has seen sales growth every year since
 2002, barring only 2009. A strong product roadmap is in place to ensure
 that this trend continues over the coming years.&lt;br /&gt;

      allow them to keep pace with the fast moving technology market. The 
      Camstar system will also simplify the interface and support the SAP 
      enterprise business solutions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Camstar solution replaces legacy systems at three Vertu 
      manufacturing sites located in Europe and China. The company will 
      standardize on a single shop floor system that will keep up with 
      changing technology, and will simplify how they interface with and 
      support our SAP enterprise business solutions. The platform project is 
      poised to ‘go live’ quickly across all products and facilities, 
      achieving quality enforcement, visibility, and streamlined automation 
      with key testers and equipment – and keep the total cost of ownership 
      down.
    &lt;br /&gt;
“Every phone we make must adhere to exceptional quality standards for 
      performance and user experience to delight our discriminating 
      customers,” said Neil Hooper, Director, R&amp;amp;D and OLS for Vertu. “We are 
      partnering with Camstar for their proven MES and Quality applications, 
      their expertise in our industry, and their international support 
      regardless of where our factories are today or might be tomorrow.”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Vertu selected Camstar for its unique robust out-of-the-box capabilities 
      combined with the flexibility of the user interface, change management 
      and configuration. The company can leverage a single MES to make, 
      communicate and enforce changes and best practices for machines, methods 
      and other best practices.
    &lt;br /&gt;

 quality, lightweight titanium casing for strength without compromise, 
and symphonic sound tuned in collaboration with Bang &amp;amp; Olufsen and 
with musical punctuation from the London Symphony Orchestra, here’s the 
brand-new Vertu Ti: handmade in England and powered by Android. With a 
price tag of $10,569, this super-expensive communication device is 
notably the very first Android-powered smartphone from the house of 
Vertu, the British luxury handset manufacturer which earlier delivered 
the Constellation Candy, the Constellation Quest Ferrari that brings to life the spirit of iconic GT car, the Constellation Quest in pink for valentine’s days, and Constellation T, and the Vertu Signature Dragon phones
 that mark Year of the Dragon, to name a few. Finished to perfection, 
the Vertu Ti is handmade from 184 parts in England by a single 
craftsman, and the name and signature of the person who assembled the 
phone is laser inscribed onto the inside lid of the SIM card holder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Skinned with a uniquely tailored user interface, the Vertu Ti runs 
Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), which combined with the device’s dual 
core 1.7GHz processor, 1GB RAM and 64GB of internal memory, turns out to
 be one of the most powerful Vertu handset to date, and delivers an 
intuitive, highly reactive and powerful experience.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With engineered acoustics, this highly-expensive 180 g Android 
smartphone, which is not 4G enabled, features a 3.7” sapphire crystal 
screen, casing crafted from grade 5 titanium, 8MP rear camera, and 1.3 
MP front facing Skype compliant camera. &lt;br /&gt;
Notably, Vertu had chosen Android over Windows as an operating system because it was more established.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each device has a “concierge” button that connects the caller with a 
global team who can provide localised advice and help with events and 
restaurant bookings.&lt;br /&gt;
This luxury communication device is available in four versions; the 
Titanium black PVD red gold mixed metals, titanium black leather, 
titanium black alligator, and titanium pure black.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
For many consumers, Apple iPhone 5 is presumed to be the most holy 
smartphone available in the market. If you think like that, then better 
check your facts, as Vertu Ti Ferrari Limited Edition smartphone, is now
 officially announced.

Generally, Vertu made phones are known for fine craftsmanship and 
exclusivity remains the biggest highlight of any luxury phone.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
This time around, Vertu has collaborated with Ferrari, and the 
result is in front of us in the form of Android powered Vertu Ti 
Ferrari. The phone celebrates the style and great engineering behind 
Ferrari F12berlinetta.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPYhSacmBt0ZzMp6ntPpsL0T3ZS2zBxWG2e6zqdjPmt2wjUOg7Cjn208MAu3SBiyLQexiZSzaUPdbBpnMHiODvljYeSWHyVKbawE1WWdGZENfgg9AOhqzDkr2BcnOvdaVcKg2GhGkJ/s1600/03-vertutiferrarilimitededitionandroidsmartphoneannounced.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPYhSacmBt0ZzMp6ntPpsL0T3ZS2zBxWG2e6zqdjPmt2wjUOg7Cjn208MAu3SBiyLQexiZSzaUPdbBpnMHiODvljYeSWHyVKbawE1WWdGZENfgg9AOhqzDkr2BcnOvdaVcKg2GhGkJ/s400/03-vertutiferrarilimitededitionandroidsmartphoneannounced.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
The look and form factor of Vertu Ti Ferrari, is inspired by 
Ferrari's latest marvel. The exterior of the device has the good feel 
factor of Ferrari. Made from the hand-crafted leather, the phone speaks 
so much about the true Ferrari experience. The rear back panel of the 
phone mimics Ferrari F12berlinetta in every sense. The device is 
ultimate, considering the type of materials used to build Vertu Ti 
Ferrari

"Following the sweeping design cues from the rear of the Ferrari 
F12berlinetta, even the most challenging aspects of the phone's back 
plate have been specifically styled to mirror the car. The iconic tail 
lights have inspired the specially rounded camera housing while even 
details that may go unnoticed - such as the tiny hexagonal screws 
holding the back plate - are unmistakably Ferrari", as per Vertu

"In another first, two Ferrari leathers - Red and Black - form a dynamic
 stripe around the casing of the phone. Stitched in the same style as 
Ferrari seats, the soft leathers - as found in Ferrari GT cars - were 
specially treated by Vertu to be strong enough to withstand the rigors 
of use on a mobile phone".

The Vertu Ti Ferrari comes with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It has a
 3.7-inch WVGA display. The processor is also powerful at 1.7GHz 
dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon. There's an 8-mega pixel rear facing 
camera with AF and twin LED Flash light. Also add a 1.3-mega pixel front
 facing camera.

The internal memory stands at 64GB. The fitted battery is proficient to 
give up to 7 hours of talk time. Other highlighted features include: 
NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth 4.0, and 3G connectivity, amongst more.
 The phone weighs 188grams. You can contact Vertu for more information 
about the pricing of the device. Stay tuned to GizBot for more updates.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="field-items"&gt;
&lt;div class="field-item even"&gt;
Here’s
 a refreshing alternative to those annoying pop ringtones: the latest 
collaborative product from Vertu and Ferrari emits the bark of the F12 
supercar to alert its owner to an incoming call…&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
Recent
 times have seen British luxury phone-maker Vertu solidify its 
partnership with Ferrari. Five years ago we saw the first Prancing 
Horse-adorned mobile phone; now the company has finally released its 
‘smart’ descendant, which makes use of Google’s Android operating system
 and goes by the name ‘Ti Ferrari’.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9-Cf30RgsnvGTvQ-YwRtcSQ-6xYrOxr4U7p-cSJBB1Bm-PVxjyTc98KR-q1vG2FxLcuyPIa_4HCddFexsqCu72ERrinZxDbU-CU6fPqx-qrW6ajdrWZPnPdKwucnVEzfNn21cthWV/s1600/ti-ferrari-front-rear-whi_high-res_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9-Cf30RgsnvGTvQ-YwRtcSQ-6xYrOxr4U7p-cSJBB1Bm-PVxjyTc98KR-q1vG2FxLcuyPIa_4HCddFexsqCu72ERrinZxDbU-CU6fPqx-qrW6ajdrWZPnPdKwucnVEzfNn21cthWV/s400/ti-ferrari-front-rear-whi_high-res_1.jpg" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In conjunction with Ferrari’s own styling studio, Vertu’s designers 
reinterpreted elements of the F12berlinetta. Alutex – a lightweight 
composite material used by Ferrari for its interiors – is used for the 
‘pillow’: Vertu-speak for the part which makes contact with your ear 
while on a call. Black and red Ferrari leather is also used, treated by 
Vertu to withstand the rigours of everyday use.&lt;br /&gt;
The price of 12,500 euros might seem a little steep for a mobile 
phone, but that does include a subscription to Vertu’s Concierge 
service. Those wanting a hotline to Maranello shouldn’t wait too long 
though, as the Ti Ferrari smartphone will be limited to 2,013 examples.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Nokia
 has finished handing over control of luxury handset brand Vertu to a 
private equity firm – though it does retain a 10% stake and can move 
1,000 employees across to the newly independent company.&lt;br /&gt;
Those details emerged all of four months ago
 when the deal with EQT VI was agreed, but what is new is the rumour 
that Vertu may be about to drop its Symbian underpinnings in favour of 
Android.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span id="more-48791"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
That's what TechCrunch is reporting,
 anyway. The story goes that one-time Nokia vice-president Anssi Vanjoki
 will be brought in to take the reins as CEO at Vertu, and will jump 
platforms not to Windows Phone like Nokia, but to Android instead.&lt;br /&gt;
The rumour is completely unconfirmed, but if it does prove to be true
 we'll be interested to see if Vertu can make a success of it. As a 
luxury brand, Vertu has traditionally specialised in handsets that are 
high on form (and price), but low on function. If the switch to Android 
can help bring Vertu into the 21&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; century, we're all for it.&lt;br /&gt;
What we're unlikely to see is any kind of “told you so” moment 
providing definitive proof that Nokia was wrong to embrace Windows Phone
 and should have gone with Android itself in the first place. The two 
companies are too far apart in the mobile pecking order for any kind of 
comparison to mean anything.&lt;br /&gt;
Then again, if Vertu came downmarket and unleashed a Lumia-bothering 
Android device or two at a reasonable price, things could get very 
interesting.&lt;br /&gt;

The Vertu Signature Collection&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2M4Dh893bULewOootbtZR-_Po6iXHU4ucnQcfNiCTG0iwV3a9dCZ84m6ycpiGpBQ3ubCduxQOMvPGmvrp6LtMfbcyLY_mFZjyjByi6olq3fbmVSfRNO8GJ1GOtVtrfFIBjSzJ4hAe/s1600/signature-core-heroes.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2M4Dh893bULewOootbtZR-_Po6iXHU4ucnQcfNiCTG0iwV3a9dCZ84m6ycpiGpBQ3ubCduxQOMvPGmvrp6LtMfbcyLY_mFZjyjByi6olq3fbmVSfRNO8GJ1GOtVtrfFIBjSzJ4hAe/s1600/signature-core-heroes.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h5&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;h5 style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;The Vertu Signature is the first phone to be 
hand-built by a single craftsman. It takes many years to learn the 
necessary skills. Only the very best and most experienced Vertu 
craftsmen are chosen. As a mark of pride, each handset is signed by the 
master craftsman who painstakingly created it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;div class="span-5 prepend-2 append-bottom"&gt;

To create such an exceptional phone, Vertu has used only the finest 
materials. The ‘sea of sapphire’ that makes up the face of the Vertu 
Signature takes more than two weeks to create in a 2000°C furnace. 
Almost impossible to scratch, it is so hard it must be cut, ground and 
polished with diamond-tipped tools.&lt;br /&gt;


The patented keypad contains 4.75 carats of solid ruby bearings; each
 one set in its exact place like a jewel. These ruby bearings slide on 
pure sapphire crystal surfaces that are&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="span-5 last clearfix right append-bottom"&gt;
                
                
                
                aligned so that no part of the metal keys touches the
 sapphire face of the phone. The result is no friction, no wear and the 
world’s most satisfying click - a Signature trademark.&lt;br /&gt;


Service of the highest quality is literally built into each new 
Signature: a unique patented button connects directly to Vertu 
Concierge, a personal service offering expert advice and assistance 
around the clock, around the world. Vertu Select is a mobile digest of 
luxury news, reviews, events and services tailored exclusively to the 
customer’s location and lifestyle. With news and product reviews from 
the leading publications Robb Report and Elite Traveler, Vertu Select is
 available exclusively to Vertu owners in English, Russian and Chinese.&lt;br /&gt;
