Shots, specs of TAG Heuer's Vertu killer?
When we first saw this picture, we immediately thought, "whoa, this thing could seriously give Vertu a run for its money for a fraction of the price." So yeah, we still think TAG Heuer's foray into the mobile market could give Vertu a taste of its own medicine (seriously, just look at it) all except for that "fraction of a price" bit; turns out the rumors have the candybar, named "Meridiist," priced somewhere around €3,400 to €3,900 (about $5,338 to $6,123) depending on how it's configured. Your fistful of euros will apparently get you a sapphire crystal display, 2 megapixel cam, 1.9 inch QVGA display (weak!), Bluetooth, and the full array of "luxury" materials like steel and leather when it launches later this quarter into the hands of the world's privileged.

Wow that is not attractive at all.

I would buy one if I had that bit of jingle laying around. TAG's are incredible!

Like Ziegler said:
QVGA?
Weak!

That looks like crap. Nothing appealing about this phone.

Won't change my Ascent TI (if I had one) for this.

Wow, steel and leather...truly the rarest of materials for the discerning cellphone connoisseur!

I agree. Too bad I just bought a Swarovski crystal covered coffee maker or I'd be all over this one.

When will they come out with a ridiculously priced luxury smart phone? Maybe a Breitling branded Mogul or something equally outrageous?!
Moe @ Apr 7th 2008 6:04PM
The Gresso's already have Windows Mobile 6 on them.
sinai @ Apr 7th 2008 12:53PM
so it's ugly AND heavy?
Anthony @ Apr 7th 2008 1:21PM
Don't forget outdated specs & what looks like to be a difficult to use nav pad.

It looks like a design plan from a few years ago compared to what is actually out there now. This is not an impressive first foray into mobile world for TAG.

I won't lie. I think that's pretty hot. It's got a very robust, mechanical look to it.

You can see the phone is this video.

I can't wait to learn more about it.

Whoa... Break out the aviator shades and the Aqua Velva!
That is the manliest phone, ever!
