TAG Heuer has released a sleek new edition of its Meridiist mobile phone, inspired by the brand`s Grand Carrera watch and finished in black PVD; an incredibly fine coating applied through ionisation in a temperature-controlled room which is almost impossible to scratch. The fabricated back cover can be customised in alligator or calfskin leather in a choice of black, white or red. A diamond-encrusted edition is also available, should you wish to become a girl`s best friend.

I'll take two.

Scatter cash me.

It's not even a good phone.

jackson2009 · 19-05-2009, 21:23

doesnt even look that nice

Anyone who looks at sites like gsmarena will know that this isn't an expensive phone at all. Doesn't compete with the phone made from sheets of cleeved sapphire with platinum buttons, the cost of which would buy 100 of these wannabe TAG phones. Or solid gold and hand sawn walnut veneer.

vertu phones can be up to £300,000 nuts pricse

Imagine being drunk and losing that thing somewhere...pissed

I dont think anyone would risk taking it out the house if they know they will be getting drunk.

take away 2000% of that price and that's how much it costs to make.

Exactly the same could be said for the TAG watches, Rolexs, etc. Its a premium product. Which will obviously command a premium price.

I really don't see why people are so hung up on such products - so what, its expensive. no-one is telling you to go out and buy one!

It looks awful as well and I don't think the Vertu phones are anything special. Why are the Vertu phones that expensive anyway?

jackson2009 · 20-05-2009, 18:19

I have no idea you know.....crazy prices tho they better be gold and never able to lose signal to warrent that price

dreamypuma · 20-05-2009, 18:28

I had one of these, but didn't like the software..... I sent it to Tesco for recycling and got 200 clubcard points. Deal..... Not...

(didn't really)

Primarily the quality of components.

Vertu use considerably higher quality components for virtually everything - key switches, case, screen, etc.

These phones are not even slightly aimed at the same market as your average Nokia/SE/Samsung. They are a premium product aimed at people who already have plenty of disposable income.

And of course the Vertu has the concierge service.

jackson2009 · 21-05-2009, 10:18

stilla bit much though there's some for £300,000 but i suppose to the richest of people thats not much for them

Vertu are a British based company but is owned by Nokia.

jackson2009 · 21-05-2009, 17:24

I'd be scared to take it out

John Dough · 21-05-2009, 17:45

Imagine dropping it down the toilet? A ridiculous price for such an item.:sleep:

TH14 · 21-05-2009, 17:51

Yet all the rich/famous use Blackberrys. I think the vertu phones are quite ugly and probably don't have as many features as a blackberry

jackson2009 · 22-05-2009, 00:53
