Most of us aren't itching to pay over five grand for the privilege of putting TAG Heuer's first cellphone in our pockets -- or, rather, we simply don't have five grand to blow on such a lustworthy extravagance -- but the small handful of you still sitting there, tapping your fingers on the table with credit card outstretched are probably wondering where the hell you buy this thing. Turns out the
Meridiist isn't really "on sale" yet, per se, but at least the company has finally done us the favor of whipping up a site where we can all ogle the luxury candybar at our leisure -- and, more importantly, place a pre-order. The timing of the site is no coincidence; watch show Baselworld starts this week, and the company (along with manufacturer partner
Modelabs) wanted to be ready with some new action. It's not as cool as, say... a launch, but we suppose it's better than nothing.
Update: It seems some retailers (even in the States) are stocking these, so we're not sure why TAG Heuer hasn't bothered to let site visitors know that their "pre-order" is more of an "actual order." Thanks, everyone!

Its very... brick-like
Now moneyed jerks can choose between the the TAG heur Meridiist, or a Vertu.
Normal jerks are still stuck with the iPhone.
you forgot about the best one of all.... Ulysse Nardin phone which is most likely priced higher than all the others
I'm so getting one. I want the phone because it’s going match my watch (aqua racer) and my glasses (track 7201). I saw the Tag BT headset and it sucks. I'm sticking with my B&O Earset 2. It's way cooler and matches the brushed metal on my glasses. And Leonardo can EMA.
Great, ring me up because I've got a TAG Heuer denture that will match your cell phone and a Gucci toupee that will match your home slippers ans silk pijamas.
If you want I can also get you a Prada urin catheter or a cheap supply of Louis Vuitton adult diapers (nappies if you're a brit) which are the most trendy solution for those annoying troubles your kind of people all seem to have.

Wow, that's really cool sounding stuff. Put it up on eBay and send me a link. I'll pay top dollar.
@ BBS Minotaur
Assuming he actually has that stuff and is not just making it up, are we hating him because he has money? Is that any different from hating poor people for being poor?
Grow up, kids. If he can afford it, good for him. If you want one, then make some more money and buy it. If you hate all expensive luxury goods, then you should probably find someplace other than Engadget to spend your time.
TAG are all about expensive fashion items. They're no Omega, Patek P, Rolex, etc...
Truly I don't see the value in these types of items. Phones are about technology & they become old very quickly because of this.
it is already on sale in the US, 6 retail locations are listed on their website. http://www.tagheuer.com/meridiist
Actually, the Meridiist is available in many countries. Retail locations can be viewed on the website at www.tagheuer.com/meridiist. In the USA it is available at Tourneau in Century City, Las Vegas and NYC at 57th & Mad, Westime in LA and Beverly Hills, London Jewelers and Barneys New York in NY.
