Mobile Phones

Austrian designer Tobias Hornof designed another Nokia device from its super elite line Vertu.
This new concept phone is called Vertu Nautilus looks really classic and stylish and is just luxorious enought to join Vertu line.

The back reminds us something that is in deep of ocean, like a submarine’s outer shell with its rivets.

Tobias Hernof made a nice design but will Nokia consider to put hands on Nautilus and make it a reality?

In a few months we will be able to answer the question: Do the Japanese really appreciate in mobile phones exclusively high-end features, or also like soft glow of gold. Vertu opens new store in Tokyo’s Ginza.

In order to work in Japan, Vertu phones will be subjected to modernization to operate in CDMA networks in the countrie of the rising sun. Will the popular phones Vertu - difficult to say: iPhone 3G, which sells Softbank, is not too active.

Previously, it was reported that the mood of crisis did not hit the market of luxury phones. However, these forecasts were made prior to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, purchase of Merrill Lynch and a sharp escalation of the crisis in the U.S. stock exchange.

You love luxury phones? Then, some money is needed from you special accounts. Vertu has a new multi-thousand dollar phone for your enjoyment. The FCC has revealed that Nokia’s ultra-luxe division has finally updated its flagship Signature model to include 3G, and they’ve taken the opportunity to completely redesign it to make it slimmer, hotter, and presumably, pricier than ever before.

The all-new Signature features quadband EDGE, HSDPA on the 850 and 2100MHz bands, and WiFi - a Vertu first - which means we should probably expect a fabulous browser to go with that generously-proportioned OLED display.

Well, we can’t, since we’ll never get closer than a thick sheet of security glass to this thing - but someone can.

The phone hass officially been unveiled on Vertu’s site as the Signature S Design, hitting a boutique you can’t get into unless you’re dressed to impress near you come next month.
