Good God this is foul... For starters it's gold! Then white leather, why? The themes on the phone are predominatly black as are the details on the buttons speakes grills etc, why not use black leather? do these 'designers' have no concept of colour co-ordination?!

No need to mention the specs on this phone as they are dire in relation to the cost of the handset, & before anyone starts bashing on about 'this handsett is for the rich & famous', no it's not!
This phone is the equivalent of a Porsche boxter in the car world, people only buy them because they cant afford the real deal like a 911! The rich & famous would be buying something actually a bit special like a Goldvish (yes it is spelt correctly!).

TheaseThese kinds of phones are for people who have complexity issues. Who fill badly about themselves because they are week little boys inside, or their d**k is not working properly. Because of this they buy huge expensive cars, expensive phones everything what is overpriced.
When would you see a really intelligent man who is rich enough to afford it to have one of these toys? People like Warren Buffet don’t waste money on these things. Only pathetic little criminals, Russian oligarch who made their fortunes over night buy rubbing their people and spoiled little celebrity teenage girls and boys buy this. This is simple as that..

It's not meant for you all dude. Is only for the Rich and the Famous. Think Nokia is selling the concept not the phone. Pretty or ugly phone . . .it lies with the beholder. If everyone see like you do . . there will be no CEOs around....

I would assume this would be marketed to folks who want a Vertu, but don't want to spend that amount of cash or want something a bit lighter/smaller? Wonder when the platinum version will come out.... :-p
