I must admit, I was completely underwhelmed. I wonder what the S60 one will be like when it's released.... There was a guy from Nokia flashing one at my Birthday party recently.

They have people who have phones. Why, I have a team of people who can fulfill my every whim, and are on call 24/7. All I need do is ask a friend to text 66000 ;-) @Daniel: The really, seriously wealthy people I’ve met don’t have phones. They have people who have phones.

When I had the chance to actually hold one in Chicago at the Nokia Flagship Store, I wanted one badly. Not really so much to use daily, but just to have a Vertu. They've done an incredible job, I think, of building the sort of status implied by owning one. Honestly, I’ve lusted over many a Vertu.

If I was going to spend that on a phone I'd want it to do everything, including talk to satellites and the coffee maker! I've rarely seen anything more tacky than that picture. Why on earth would you? Just shows money doesn't go hand-in-hand with taste. Not a chance!
