Thankful I am not this person. Clearly there is a market of dumb asses out there who will buy this rubbish! ]]>Oct 10th 2009 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Oct 10th 2009 4:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Sub-par products like this cheapen the quality of what used to be a fine clothier.

They are doing the same thing with the cheap & tacky Emporio Armani-line of watches.

This isn't a piece of luxury, this is a piece of crap designed to appeal to people who doesn't spend money on Giorgio Armani clothes.

As Bemymonkey implied, it's simply a rebranded OEM phone. That's what they do with the Emporio Armani watches aswell.

I don't mind that Giorgio Armani clothes are sold at a high price, what I do mind is when they're trying to fool consumers into thinking that they're getting "Armani" when all they are doing is spending their hard-earned paycheck on rebranded KIRF with a theme.

Sorry if I come across as a jerk, it's hard to talk about armani without sounding a bit like a fascist :)

Vertu claims to be luxury, but it sucks. You can't have a cheap product and then claim to be luxury.

1. Vertu phones are not any hardier or tougher than regular phones
2. Vertu phone software sucks
3. Vertu phones are still in 2005 in software and hardware
4. Vertu phones don't have extra talk time or better reception

Compare that with luxury brands such as Patek Phillipe or Rolex. Rolex watches are durable, keep accurate time, and have sophisticated mechanisms. Would anyone buy a Ferrari if it performed like a Yugo?

The only luxury feature of a Vertu phone is its price. Sorry to turn this into an anti Vertu rant .. I had to get that out my system.

Anyway, this Armani phone looks good .. too bad about WinMo 6.5 though shoulda gone with Android. I hope its upgradable to Winmo 7.

The Vertu's concierge feature is the other useful standout, but I doubt anyone really relies on it.

And those comparing this phone to an subsidized $350 carrier Touch Pro 2 - OH COME ON!]]>Oct 10th 2009 6:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Oct 10th 2009 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Oct 10th 2009 6:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Oct 10th 2009 6:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Oct 10th 2009 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/Oct 10th 2009 6:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/10/samsungs-winmo-6-5-powered-armani-smartphone-gets-previewed/
