Willing to spend $10,700 for an android?

---

So I just saw this article about the Vertu TI - that will cost approx $10,700.
Starts at 7,900 euros, or about $10,700

Specs:
TI a 3.7-inch touchscreen,
a dual-core 1.7GHz Snapdragon S4 processor,
and an 8-megapixel camera.
There’s also NFC and 64GB of internal storage, plus a front-facing webcam.

Clearly the reporters don't know much because they stated that it is Up-to-date with the OS running ICS
"Luckily, Vertu is mostly up-to-date on Google’s OS. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is installed and it’s smooth and speedy:"

According to reports " the TI is gorgeous, understated, and elegant, while remaining purposeful and unique"

Honestly I think it looks hideous. Esp with that price for the phone it better be made of gold.

That logo on the clock is very very sueable at this moment. Looks exactly like the vmoda logo.

I'd love to see a system dump from this so we could at least rip off the theming.

why would you need this? this looks absolutely ugly compared to stock android

I'd totally buy if i had the cash, and use it as a phone for leisure, would go well with my GS3, IMO.

Great to see a Vertu smartphone running a post-2010 OS, they were really being held back by Nokia and Symbian.

I think it is realy weird they don't use a propper Hardware for that amount of money and at least Android 4.1.x for a new Device

I agree. For the price, it seems to fall short on a lot of aspects. They should at least provide something worth the cash (equal to the specs of a mid-high end computer) rather then attempting to exploit people :/

Vertu again? Oh I remember those days when they modified and tried to sell some obscenely overpriced Nokia back in the days when nokia ruled.
Silly ... And by the way, this one here looks kinda ugly and those buttons look really cheap.

Wherever there is lots of money, bad taste isn't far behind...
