| 561974 | 2007-06-24 11:53:00 | isn't it a bit hypocritical for an apple fan to be dissing the excessive spending of money when there are cheaper alternatives of equal or better quality? :P | motorbyclist (188) | ||

It is also comparable in cost to other brands such as eMate, iPaq, RIM and Blackberry. |

| 561977 | 2007-06-24 12:21:00 | i was more thinking ipod and mac I know, that is why I was talking about the Nokia.:p I personally cannot see the point of another fruitless discussion talking about the price differential of Macs compared to some price breaks of PCs and iPods compared to similar priced music players.:groan: |

| 561979 | 2007-06-24 12:29:00 | In many ways Vertu is an old phone in a shiny new suit. The company is wholly owned by Finnish phone giant Nokia, and uses a souped-up version of the same software in your basic 3310. But what a suit: the Vertu comes in stainless steel, gold, white gold and platinum. It is sheathed in the same leather used in Rolls Royces, and the face is scratch-proof sapphire. Ruby bearings under each keypad ensure precise key press. that would be the price, along with being hand built and a fashion/wealth statement. still ridiculous :groan: |

But thats just my 2:2cents: Your supposed to be good with numbers so you do the math.:D Other than that your right there is no need to argue.:) |

| 561982 | 2007-06-25 05:11:00 | Yeah, I don't think they'll go outta business, maybe they'll produce a clone of cheap version with lots of features cut off. So that they'll not run out of business. :O But what non-essential (for a phone anyway) features exist on it that they can cut off? |
