Hands-on with Vertu's latest, the Constellation

If you're going to drop four figures (or more) on a cellphone, the least Vertu can do for you is hook you up with quadband GSM plus EDGE, and their latest Constellation model finally delivers. Sybarites.org recently had the opportunity to play around with the Constellation and came away very impressed -- we'd expect no less -- loving its S40 OS (highly modified to suit Vertu's needs, of course), the aviation-themed graphics and animations, and that jeweled Vertu keypad we all know and love. It seems the leather / steel model is the only one out the door at the moment, with a gold version to follow -- but rest assured, regardless of the type you choose, it's going to be mighty heavy.
