The million dollar review: Going window-shopping

30 September 2009
This site is usually all about the features and performance, but not today. It's our day-off so we decided to go shopping. Well, window-shopping to be more depressingly precise. And the only bags...

My friend wanted to know why the Vertu Signature cost a fortune. I showed her this review and we had a good laugh. Funniest review ever!

        Dear GSMArena guys this is perhaps your worst article. All that you keep harping about is the Price. you have only mentioned the hardware part of the ph. I am sure that you have not even come close to 10 feet of any of them. you have written all this simply by looking at their pics & reading a few articles. Compare this with your articles about business phs. & smart phs. then you will see the difference. you could have atleast given an account of the UI, menu, exclusive services, accesories etc. I am sorry to say but this this shoddy work on your part as well as undignified for the manufactures.

              If, after reviewing these high end products you expect to be gifted them
              I wonder why you are not engaged in reviewing Bristol, Rolls Royce or Bently cars. Indeed. Why not go the whole hog? Move into reviewing Aircraft,yachts,Hotels and create yourselves a fortune.

Because people who can afford these phones will definately be sitting around on GSM Arena telling a load of kids about it in unreadable child's-talk.

                        But what happens when they bring out the new updated version of the Ferrari phone which is even more exclusive?

                        Oh no, then you'll be trapped in a very personal little hell of your own making. Will you dare use your phone in public, suffering the fear that someone will point out that it's no longer the latest model? How will you be able to look your fellow men in the eye, knowing that you don't have the most exclusive phone on the planet? Will you be able to live with the shame?

                            The promo video for the Vertu stunned me. I cannot get my head around the excess. It is pity about dated technology,I feel that for that price they should also better specced. I would rather have a Lotus than a Morgan

                              who cares about the features when you got an exclusive handset?
                              every detail on this baby is perfected!
                              im never changing handsets for the next 10 yrs!

                                Almon, 11 Oct 2009Mobiado has one. The 350 PRL. Thank you. I have never heard of Mobiado before you have mentioned it here. I have looked into it, and that is what I think the direction for luxury phones should be. A phone made with good materials and a qwerty keyboard. I will investigate this Mobiado further, maybe they can customize it for me, as I want specific materials to be used.

                                    Gsmarena should make another review contrasting this that includes obscenely cheap phones or maybe even disposable phones in their next or a combination of the two day-off. I think that would be a good idea.
