Tycoons of the world, get out your pocketbooks. Actually, wait, scratch that -- kick back, relax, and let your butler do it for you, because
Vertu has a new multi-thousand dollar toy for your enjoyment. The FCC has revealed that Nokia's ultra-luxe division has finally
updated its flagship Signature model to include 3G, and they've taken the opportunity to completely redesign it to make it slimmer, hotter, and presumably, pricier than ever before. The all-new Signature features quadband EDGE, HSDPA on the 850 and 2100MHz bands, and WiFi -- a Vertu first -- which means we should probably expect a fabulous browser to go with that generously-proportioned OLED display. Well,
we can't, since we'll never get closer than a thick sheet of security glass to this thing -- but someone can.
Update: The phone's officially been unveiled
on Vertu's site as the Signature S Design, hitting a boutique you can't get into unless you're dressed to impress near you come next month.

it's pretty ugly.
That looks like a Klingon weapon!
Yayyy Klingon Weapons!!!!
MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wifi? Does S40 support wifi now? Or is it the rumored S60 vertu?
INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW (and are too lazy to search)
why do they even bother making these things.........
S hits the FCC? How naughty of you. ;) Careful you don't lose the entire selfRighteous, sanctimonious, bible-thumping demographic. LoL
When I went to the Nokia Flagship store in Kamppi last year, the Vertu phone had a thicker piece of glass protecting it than there was protecting the Constitution. They couldn't stop me from drooling on it though!
So from a technology standpoint it's more or less (sans the OLED, perhaps) just like any other phone on the market, but in a strange styled case, and sold at a stupidly high price?
Pass.
