I do understand the build quality thing. But phones are a bit different. Watches are timeless. A Rolex is actually worth the exuberant price because it will never go out of date (no pun intended). A phone however is dependent on the networks and technologies it employs, which are forever changing. In 30 years, that Rolex will still do everything it was designed to do just fine. In a scant 10 years the Vertu will be so obsolete it will be a finely handcrafted $5000 paperweight.]]>Aug 5th 2008 4:13PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/03/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxxviii-vertu-ferrari-ripoff-devoid/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/08/03/keepin-it-real-fake-part-cxxviii-vertu-ferrari-ripoff-devoid/Oct 6th 2008 10:34PM
