Probably made for the Verizon execs saving tons of cash by not making updates. Oh wait, Verizon executives are idiots and probably use iphones.

I really don’t understand the business of these so called luxury phones? Shouldn’t a $10,000 phone comes with the most cutting edge spec, like using some kind of display tech that has such a low yield that no other manufacturers would use, or use battery tech that lasts super long times but couldn’t be mass produced?

If someone’s paying $10k for a phone, they’re probably not concerned with what it can actually do (or its specs).

Looks like it was designed by Verizon’s marketing team.

Well, if you are dumb enough to pay $10K for a cell phone, you are probably dumb enough not to know the internals are crap compared to its $600-700 counterparts. I’m just sayin’…

They are the same people behind “most expensive app” in the app store and play store

Wait, I thought the head Nokia guy despised Android [and its fragmentation]? Sticking with it for the fancy stuff though…

Yes, this phone is rather ugly and antiquated, but I do love that it is made out of Titanium. I rather have a thing for Ti and currently own several Ti watches, rings, and bracelets. I would certainly love to add a well made and decently priced Android device to that collection.

honestly, even it were $350 I’d still take the Nexus 4 over this

Half of the allure of the iP**ne is that its built somewhat like jewelry. I agree that more people would like it if the open source software was the latest rev. But these phone Kellex speaks of are mostly for the physical

Nice to see Vertu hasn’t changed their model of ugly overpriced phones.

Maybe…

If it’s popular with the devs.

The specs are too vague to say if they’re mediocre. Nevertheless, it’s an ugly phone that costs entirely too much.
