It's sad that people would buy this relatively ordinary phone just becuase of the tag, but I guess that's the power of a brand like Tag..

what the...!! this people are crazy! its phone its too expensive and is not justified the astronomical price, the strategy of luxurious things companies we want to enter the cellphone market with this kind of device is ridicolous, this high price its good for watches of gold or silver,things with many years of life,but the cellphone dont have a 3years of useful life...

Looking at the specs, it looks great and damn sexy.
I think we will see more and more Brands making cell phones by themselves iso making a co-branding like Samsung Armani / LG Prada / Moto DG...
Tag Heuer, Hummer, Porsche, Levi's... are definitely pioneers in that field.

For those like me who cannot afford such a price for a cell; we can expect to see a ''Swatch phone'' coming up soon, hahahaha

The phone is expensive and looks expensive too. I'll buy the phone on those two counts. thank you.

If you can afford the phone, it's really pointless to argue about the features and I understand why those who can afford it fret so much.

Come on, it's a luxury phone. The price will be unreasonably high in the same way that fashion brands are expensive. They just are. period.

I don't know why GSM Arena even bothered writing something up for this primitive (featurewise) but expensive phone. This phone is a disgrace and is VERY offensive to the likes of Nokia, SE, Samsung & LG phones who work their butts off year after year, packing in features & advanced technology into their smartphones yet only costs a small fraction of this dumbphone. This phone does not deserve respect, yet demands an unjustified super high price. GSM Arena readers are phone enthusiasts who knows what expensive phones are ought to be and gives high regards and respect to phone makers who have been making phones with cutting edge features for its price. Only a rich fool would buy this stupid phone. Take this dumbphone somewhere else. Gosh, this pisses me off. But if they're giving some for free, I want one, LOL.

Here's the breakdown of how they come up with the price of this phone.

Phone materials $125 + $75 for features = $200 + $50 labor = $250 (actual price of the phone) + $3750 for the name Tag something = $4000 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

There are two types of rich people. Smart ones, and dumb ones. This phone is for the rich and dumb ones =)

Another one of those premium phones with basic features with a ridiculous high price just because of its name that I can't even spell =) This phone is for people who are wealthy and just wants a phone that would set them apart from the masses. They don't care if it has little to none features as long as it's expensive and has that hard to spell brand name, they would buy it, LOL. You can buy a phone from the 99cents store and stamp Gucci on it, and they would buy it for $10,000 =)
