Ferrari phone

I searched "Vertu" and didn't see this posted...

Vertu's phones are ridiculously priced as it is, and adding the Ferrari badge is only going to jack up the price. I don't think I could ever justify spending over a few hundred dollars on a phone, much less a few thousand like a Vertu. To each his own I guess. It's still a nice looking phone though.

 

+1

For example looks this one that cost more than $4k.

If you look online at the Ferrari store they have a Ferrari motorola razr cell phone. It's a less extreme $523. I'd buy one if I didn't already have a perfectly good nonferrari version of the same phone.

EDIT: looks like its sold out

 

Exactly. I look at that phone and throw up my hands and say, "WTF???", because it's so ridiculous, and then I find myself wanting one. Oh, well. Sounds a little like the cars, don't it?

 

Nice looking phone, but I have to stop myself from buying Ferrari logo merchandise. I returned my pit crew jacket - driving a red Ferrari with a red Ferrari jecket & a red Ferrari hat was overkill.

 

+2 Not worth spending the extra money.

 

Veru is a joke to leading edge technology buffs. It is an outdated Nokia, all dressed up on the outside but woefully inadequate in every other way - That also describes certain car brands - not Ferrari, but perhaps there should have been an L phone

 

That's a good point--I'd really like to know what makes their tech so "bleeding edge" compared to any other cell manufacturer.

I'm not a fan of "lets see how many gadgets we can stuff into our phone so everyone will buy it" but for people who like that kind of thing, it doesn't even appear to have a camera which you can get from even the cheapest phones on the market.

 

LOL
Yeha what the hell makes that phone worth so much 6500MSRP for what. Look at twhat the iphone will do for $600. I dont think I really need a handmade cell phone.

 

If Vertu phones were truly worth a damn they wouldn't be built Upside Down .... like all but one cell phone in the world (to date).

Peace,

Richard.
