I don't know why GSM Arena even bothered writing something up for this primitive (featurewise) but expensive phone. This phone is a disgrace and is VERY offensive to the likes of Nokia, SE, Samsung & LG phones who work their butts off year after year, packing in features & advanced technology into their smartphones yet only costs a small fraction of this dumbphone. This phone does not deserve respect, yet demands an unjustified super high price. GSM Arena readers are phone enthusiasts who knows what expensive phones are ought to be and gives high regards and respect to phone makers who have been making phones with cutting edge features for its price. Only a rich fool would buy this stupid phone. Take this dumbphone somewhere else. Gosh, this pisses me off. But if they're giving some for free, I want one, LOL.

        Here's the breakdown of how they come up with the price of this phone.

        Phone materials $125 + $75 for features = $200 + $50 labor = $250 (actual price of the phone) + $3750 for the name Tag something = $4000 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

        There are two types of rich people. Smart ones, and dumb ones. This phone is for the rich and dumb ones =)

          Another one of those premium phones with basic features with a ridiculous high price just because of its name that I can't even spell =) This phone is for people who are wealthy and just wants a phone that would set them apart from the masses. They don't care if it has little to none features as long as it's expensive and has that hard to spell brand name, they would buy it, LOL. You can buy a phone from the 99cents store and stamp Gucci on it, and they would buy it for $10,000 =)

              This phone looks like a turd, literally, what were they thinking? I know its not supposed to be a feature phone, but why make it ugly AND expensive? Maybe the talk and standby time is so great because 90% of the phone is battery. Bulky, disgusting, EPIC FAIL.

                Lol...someone called it and "EXPENSIVE REMOTE CONTROL"..bIG LOL..but lets put it this way..this thing is gonna compete with Vertu(i dont know who buys Vertus but i am sure whoever does has a few oil mills and drives a rolls royce).. most people cant afford it and i am just too happy with my P1i but it doesnot cost to dream.. right!!i personally would agree to what you guys said and ignore it as a rich man's toy.Good looking toy but it looks too much like a vertu.

                    OK, there may be some quality materials used, and its not bad looking, but the materials and spec don't anywhere near justify the ludicrous price tag. Anyone who would consider spending 4 grand on this phone should have their head examined.

                            3400-3900 euro it's a crazy price for phone even if it's a luxurious phone and i think it's too heavy and big...

                              This phone looks pretty much like the VERTU Ascent style,
                              Don't ask "what's next, tissot? fossil?" as matter of fact, Fossil is making Bluetooth watches now to work with SONY ERICSSON (only).. but yes, cell phone is the future, and when brand companys are taking to their hands to make luxurious phones like that, stainless steel and excellent made, it's hot, and it's gonna be a killer seller in the far-east countries!

                              good job tag-heuer! (bad selection for the company modelab)
                              :P

                              but hot phone
