Vertu Constellation gets the FCC treatment

by Chris Ziegler posted Jul 18th 2006 at 1:38PM

If we're gonna drop a couple grand on a phone, the least it can do is give us quad-band GSM, right? As we reported a couple weeks back, Vertu's new Constellation handset picks up where their previous efforts left off, packing GSM 850/900/1800/1900 plus EDGE data all 2003-like. We weren't able to glean much from the draft manual (which still has Signature pictures in it), but the Constellation looks to rock a variant of Nokia's S40 platform -- we leave that to the world's privileged to decide whether that's an upgrade from the Signature and Ascent's OS. Look for this little slice of leather-covered opulence to drop later this year; we're sure you rich folk will find ways to shed some cash while you wait.

I know some person will say that vertu are a big rip off because the tech in the phone is so outdated. BUT you have to understand that the brand stands for great sales service, expensive materials and great quality. NOT about being update with the latest tech. If you have that much money to buy a phone like this you will have a person help you do the thing the tech does for you.
