Then I would prefer the design of the phones from the brand Bellperre .
To me, the Bellperre collection are much more luxury and better looking luxury phones than a Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte or anyone other I have seen.


Here I found more:

Their target should be on those who also spend on expensive leather bags, watches and fashion items.

These people are no geeks and use thier watch to watch time and use their phone to make phone calls. And they want a phone that complements their exclusive clothing. I can imagine there are certain girls that wants a bellperre phone with leather that fits her leather bag. Or a guy with the leather of his watch. So I would say a Bellperre is for those who appreciate fine crafted luxury goods and are not interested in the latest specs they do not use. Why people pay 11.000 dollar for a watch? not me.

The vast majority only uses their phone to make phonecalls.
By the way, compared to cheapest Vertu, a bellperre seems to be much more affordable (3 times). I think Bellperre phones are sincerely fine crafted.
WELL DONE BELLPERRE!!

THE 1ST LUXURY PHONE THAT LOOKS NOT SNOBBISH!!

EVEN GOLD BELLPERRE IS NOT SNOBBISH. MAYBE PINK CROCO IS BIT OVER THE TOP, AND BROWN CROCO WITH ROSE GOLD IS REALLY VERY BEAUTIFULL.
WOW! I would like one.

The leather palette is huge - you have over 200 colors to choose from, while the type of leather is equally stunning as you mull over crocodile, shark, buffalo and calf.
Karen, Pricing starts at 1259 euro.

That is not bad. The phones are 0% plastic and they offer all leather colors and textures.
I was going to rant on how luxury items keep selling well, but then I saw Bellperre’s site, which seemed pretty charming. Their devices are made of authentical material, sapphire crystal, real alligator leather and 100% metal frame. The price starts at 1259 euro. That is less than expected for such a handmade item.



These BELLPERRE phones look beatifull!!

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
