Vertu phone

[chilicrab]

What do u think of this brand of phone?will u pay a 4-5 digits for this phone?

[Darkangel]

Are you from EDMW!~!

Hahaha..currently I m contemplating on getting a Vertu Ascent Ti preowned. I will pay for phones..it has been my hobby since few years ago...I am currently using a 8800 Arte but I cannot tahan depreciation so I wil buy preowned.

At the moment...max I have spent on a phone is 1k+...but the jump from the 8800 line to the Vertu line..is a very big jump.

It's probably like asking you to jump from a 3k Rolex to a 30k Patek...but then again..you aren't comparing apples with apples. Just an example though.

Buying that would cost me probably another Rolex...but for the love and attaining the holy grail....it's gonna be personal preference. Thinking money wise..money is better spend on rolex. But if you love it...sometimes you will pay for it!

Poisoning from my Vertu buddy did help too

[Darkangel]

did u play with DK's vertu phone during the last get-together? frankly, i also thinking of getting one too.....

Oh no lah...I paiseh...anyway I played with my buddy's Vertu Ascent Ti also...song

He's injecting alot of poisoning to me...anyway I m hunting for it...but hard to find though

[feilong108]

hehehe..all are phone mad eh....but hor Vertu hps are major chick magnets....hehehe....it is the ferrari of mobile phones....

[exxondus]

I def cant afford such a luxury. but just wondering, whats teh draw point of the vertu for you guys?

3.5G capabilities, coloured screen? etc?

[feilong108]

The main drawing point is the name and price tag....

So technically, there is no additional function?

Hmm.....guess talking to non-phone guys ( like me ), is like talking to people who also ask why pay so much for a watch that only tell time, when my Casio have alarm and many more function and cost just a fraction

[feilong108]

yeah...just like why watch nuts will pay 30k for a watch when a $80 casio can do the job just as well or even better...

For vertu,u are paying for the craftmanship,brand name,exclusivity and so on.....buy what your heart desire as $$$ is only coloured papers if you dun use them...hahahaha

Afterall, you only live once...and $$$ isn't of any use if you are 6 feet under ground...

[feilong108]

wow...is the car ferrari?

[feilong108]

impressive...did not know that vertu phones are so hardy....i tink reservist must ask steal my buddy vertu to try with the 5 tonner liao...hahaha...just kidding

[Darkangel]

It's a very solid phone..very well made..like Rolex...

The only thing that attracts me is more of aesthetics than technology. I have been using designer phones for quite a few years already...never regretted it...and you totally love it when someone compliments your phone just like your watch!

My taste is slightly different from most people...I prefer to stay outta the crowd...just like when everyone bought the iPhone...I bought a Nokia 8800 Arte...!

So what is roughly the price range of the Vertu phone?

So what is roughly the price range of the Vertu phone?

Entry level is about 9k...that should be for the new flip phone..

vertu ascent ti is 10k for the basic model

[feilong108]

wah....u really love army hor.

i am sick and tired of it already......that is why this july NZ bilateral exercise with the kiwi army, i am not going....arrow my deputy manpower officer and assistant manpower officer to go. and both of them happy like a bird.

and your CO is going too.

Haha...i have many nice memories of NS time...although the training was tough and i hate outfield..and my snotty NS PC,platoon sgt and many more, i oso gained many good buddies that share my good and bad times...

To me, Army truly is a life changing experience for myself and i had learnt many life lessons too....

P.S: Do i get the Best NSMAN award in the upcoming reservist?
