at last... finally a reason to believe that innovation exists in such an eccentric way! agreed, this is going to be the most expensive mobile phone ever but then, it is going to be the most unique too! who would want to buy those mega expensive vertu or for that matter, the tag meridist? nardin has beautifully combined horologie with telecommunications. and inclusion of 5mp and wi-fi mean it should not be a 'basic-no feature-nonsense-mega expensive' handset. as for the looks, it is sure to grow on you... for those who can buy it. i cannot but still, it is beautiful and it is a piece of art! pure art!

dont see the sense in the comparison because they're pretty different phones... in both form and function they are barely alike at all

Can't have them young scallywags using such common phone's among the riff raff.

For those of you ( mustafa ) that think this mobile will be $2000 or can be purchased on a plan, you have shown that you are not the target buyer of this phone, because you are too stupid to be the chairman of a group of bums let alone the chairman of a large company.
This phone will be at least US $10000 ( alot more for the gold versions )and will be sold in watch stores or high end designer boutiques ,not through a phone dealer on a plan.

though i don`t know how much can this thing charge the phone [in a sense of how many miles for a full charge hahahahahaha]
but anyhow,this thing should at least mentain the battery power! foe exemple,if the battery goes dead in 5 days,with that thing it will hold about 7..
