£14,000 Android phone

[peteyt]

Well it seems Apple isn't the most expensive phone now as Vertu have launched a new Android based phone costing a whopping £14,000.

Vertu used be wholly owned by Nokia and made expensive phones using Symbian but like Nokia themselves have moved to something else, Vertu deciding Android had more options for its customers.

The new phone is made of apparently top end materials and only a diamond can actually scratch it's screen. It is also put together by hand with each phone getting the actual name of the person who put it together etched inside (near the sim card slot I think).

It also has a concierge button that when pressed brings up local support but I've not seen any mentions of actual locations its supports.

Something I certainly wouldn't buy considering I find the iPhone too expensive.

Eww its ugly as anything. If your going to make a really expensive phone, at least make it appealing to the eyes!

i'm an idiot for buying things and even I wouldn't buy that, it's the most hideous thing i've ever seen in my ******* life!

"The 3.7” screen can only be scratched by diamonds."

Worth it just for that.

I don't really see the point of it, too expensive and it's not that appealing.

To me, it looks like if you have that then it stands out *for being ugly* which will make people notice your stupidly expensive phone.

For show offs, basically.

I guess it's more a prestigious symbol than anything.
