Anybody else see this article? Who in their right mind would pay $25k for a cell phone that's only going to work for about a year.

An *******

 

That's crazy!

 

Thats exactly what i was thinking.

 

Paris Hilton, Pdiddy, JLO and few others like them

 

...

 

just like the guys said above. an *******.

 

Well, I wouldn't immediately dub someone an ******* for buying that. There are tons of people who've got more money than they can ever spend and who feel like throwing $25,000 on a phone, even if it works for less than a year. Nonetheless, it's pretty damn nice. Apparently it's got Ferrari leather on the back that will be replaced every six months, "Ferrari" screws and obviously the 612 Scaglietti engine sound ring tone.

 

I'm speechless. They just needed to give the rich another reason to brag about their money and how they can afford something like that. Rediculous.

 

silly...I'll take a complimentary demo though

 

I wouldnt purchase a vertu and thats 5,000 dollars and they are releasing a 25,000 dollar phone.

I would rather be driving the best car I can get with the 25,000 dollars.

 

I think it's cool and if you can afford it more power to you.

I saw it at Harrods for a nit less than that (plus you get VAT back)
All Vertu phones are expensive so I do not see the big deal
Crappy no color screen cell phone if you ask me

 

I also saw this phone at a watch store in Italy. Didn't do much for me and I still never understand why you would spend that much money on it when you can get the Vertu Constellation with more features on it for a lot less...which is still too much for a cell phone from 2004.
