Zedrush Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Hi guys might be getting a vertu phone for christmas does anyone own one and can anyone tell me exactly how the consierge part works. Planning on getting this one: http://www.mobile-review.com/phonemodel ... rsport.jpg Quote
Chris`I Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 A quick google for that phone makes me think you should have a Lambo like Sarnie if you can afford one of them Quote
M13KYF Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 from the little I remember you pay about 4k for the phone with its concierge service. They sell them in the trafford centre in a Jewellers so should give you an idea on price Quote
Zedrush Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 yeh I got the price at the store today, but will take 3 months to get the exact one I want and personalised so am getting it for my xmas present, they said first year is free then after that its 600 a year but not sure how exactly it works Quote
nixy Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Is your mummy putting it in a stocking for you? Quote
Zedrush Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 I was a good boy this year so what if she is Quote
nixy Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 will she adopt me? Seriously though, just think what you could have for the money instead! Have you seen some of the reviews? http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews81668.html One of the write ups from a tech site says it's the phone for people with more money than brain cells! Quote
Zedrush Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Lol I just really like the look of it, I dont wear jewelry never have, so instead she got me this and am getting it personalised so will be ready in time for christmas. Plus goes with the car with the carbon and black, you only live once so might as well Just want to know exactly how consierge button works the guy said that you can get bookings in most places or tickets at sold out event plus much much more. Just want to know what the much more entails as he didnt go into detail about it, and the website doesnt go into detail either The one Im getting is the revised ascent version, it has bluetooth and faster software, so hopefully the pitfulls in the review can be changed for the better Quote
Sarnie Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 yeh I got the price at the store today, but will take 3 months to get the exact one I want and personalised so am getting it for my xmas present, they said first year is free then after that its 600 a year but not sure how exactly it works £600 a year for what? Line rental? Do you buy the phone only or do vertu have their own network? Quote
Zedrush Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 No its just the phone you put any sim card in it then when you buy you get one year free consierge service then after that you pay optional 600 year if you still want use of the consierge service. But the phone is a collectors item as they only make limited amount and its a good investment as over the years it adds value to the phone so worth more on resale. Also it is vertually indistructable, the guy said you cant scratch it and you can drop it of a seven story building and it will be perfectly fine as good as new, they did a test and had a car run over it and there was not a scratch or malfunction in sight Quote

Chris`I Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Wheres the line for adoption? If I join it now, is there only Nixy in front of me? Quote
nixy Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 get back! Me first! Seriously though - if its for the pose then fair play to you but if a mobile phone ever becomes a collectors item or goes up in value I will eat my aerial and buy a stubby! Quote

Would love to see that - but alas, I agree, dont think it will happen Quote
Zedrush Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Seriously thats whats happened because they make a 1000 per style only in the world people bid like crazy on ebay after the style is no longer made But yeh its a good posing thing lol just love the look of it, still wanna know the ins and outs of the consierge button Quote
nixy Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 You rub the phone and a butler called jeeves appears with a tea tray and a toilet roll! Quote
Digsy Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 With mobile technology moving so fast after 2 years it would be an antique.... Quote
Zedrush Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 With mobile technology moving so fast after 2 years it would be an antique.... very true buty think these are like Cartier Jelwery they do go up in value after time, like this one has tripled in price now as only 8 made http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/biz2/cellphone/2.html Quote

Jewellery and watches are timeless (well top notch stuff anyway) but in 10 years the phone will look as sophisticated as a ZX Spectrum. Crazy! Quote

Jewellery and watches are timeless (well top notch stuff anyway) but in 10 years the phone will look as sophisticated as a ZX Spectrum. Crazy! You are quite right, the software on the phones is very basic, but the material used is Jewellery based, i.e behind each key is a ruby crystal and inside is a 24 carot gold vertu stamp. I dont wear watches so opted for one of these. My brother gets a breitling watch but i dont like em Quote
nixy Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 amazing to think that not that long ago you could get those giant mobile phones like a massive walkie talkie that had a big car battery type thing you had to lug around with it. I think that would have been in the 80's? Quote
sl114 Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I personally wouldnt bother, its just a fad. How about this lovely sony which comes with a free handsfree device as modelled by my friend Doug below... Quote
