The process of wondering why you are still unhappy despite this financial wealth and expensive assets usually comes much later :)
And don't knock pop stars, models etc. for spending money on diamonds and cars, we need stupid rich people to drive the economy and spend their wealth rather than hoard it. Instead of laughing at the rapper who wears a $1m diamond chain while complaining without irony that 'his people have been repressed for centuries', we should be selling him more exclusive rubbish like this phone, and divest the profits into beneficial schemes eg. stopping the diamond exploitation in Africa.]]>May 20th 2010 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/Well it's "unique"ly fugly bar none I'd give it that.I always thought that humanity as a civilization defines "progress" in luxe as NOT anywhere near this eye corroding POS they call a design?]]>May 20th 2010 7:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/
Or better..

unless you mean Vertu looks much 'a gradual backward slope in a wall or similar structure.']]>May 20th 2010 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 4:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/i would love to see a picture of said purple bum]]>May 20th 2010 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 7:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/

Exactly.

It's kind of like the old saying:

If you are poor and weird, you are called crazy. If you are rich and weird, you are called eccentric.

If this phone was introduced by some no-name brand for $100, it would be called tacky and out of date. It's introduced by a famous brand at a ridiculous price and it's called fashion.

I do not care what they are based on, the constellation looks a lot better IMHO. :)]]>May 20th 2010 5:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/
B) I think that the industry should try to move toward making sapphire screens standard on all touch phones (or at least make an effort to see if it can be any way cost effective for higher end phones). People think Gorilla glass is tough stuff . . . I have a watch with a sapphire face, and it's just amazing the amount of punishment it can take without getting a scratch. You basically have to rub diamonds on it in order to damage it.]]>May 20th 2010 5:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/
That said, I don't have money but some of Vertu stuff do look really nice (for my taste).

I prefer Vertu over this purple ... thing. At least Vertu has gold and diamond encrusted dragons on their phones. What is this... Versace thing? Purple leather and white gold bezel? pfft.]]>May 20th 2010 5:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 6:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 6:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 6:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/May 20th 2010 7:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/20/versace-unique-launched-vertu-put-on-notice/
ModeLab should quit. So far I've sen nothing but ugliness from them.

Is it me, or does that unit look.... fat?
