Luxury = Expensive
Luxury ≠ Beatiful

Have a look at a luxury yacht:

Loving that look is a acquired taste

Most luxury items are just for shoving you have money, looks isn't a factor.]]>Dec 24th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/Dec 24th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/
And I herd it's in the Mediterranean... and the pics from the inside cool sooo cool.

Like a luxury car, it's *supposed* to have a bunch of features that make driving more pleasurable. And they typically try to make it look somewhat nice, make it a luxurious experience for your eyeballs too.

This phone however, it looks plain, it looks ugly and uncomfortable to use. Gemstones, they're cool if you're into that sort of thing, but really, scraping them on your face while on the phone can't be comfy. I suppose if you really care about the things you have looking expensive just for the sake of trying to impress people, you deserve to burn your cash on this, but there are at least a dozen phones that will offer a far more luxurious experience at a tiny fraction of the cost.]]>Dec 24th 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/Dec 24th 2008 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/
The Vertu on the other hand...

Ps: I've seen quite a few Vertu fakes, probably no one will be able to tell the difference anyway (it's not like the hardware is hard to imitate, unlike the iPhone).]]>Dec 24th 2008 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/Dec 24th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/Dec 24th 2008 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/Jan 9th 2009 8:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/24/vertu-signature-dragon-handset-puts-the-ugh-in-luxury/Really. Rich people have already proven that wealth kills sense of good taste.
I think Vertu and Co. are simply building things like this to fuck with us.
