Vertu Signature S - User Reviews

  • You just know has a circle with a (!) on it by 0168 on the right hand side if filed off, then the size of the phone or color then the broadcast menu in the software

  • Vertu phones are expensive because of the materials used. not because of the technology you are getting.

  • Work very hard and be honest in your dealing one day you will effort it.

  • Dear Hen,if u think this phone is gorgeuos??Check it out the Sony Ericsson Satio...More thing u can do rather having this phone...having this phone is similar to LOST IN DESERT..

  • Why the hell would one buy a phone that doesn't have a camera or vidieos plus I'd rather buy my self a car than this pompars phone.....Gold is for gold diggers, is this some kind of gun used in james bond movies or what?

  • Why the hell would one buy a phone that doesn't have a camera or vidieos plus I'd rather buy my self a car than this pompars phone.....Gold is for gold diggers

  • I have this phone for 2 months and I'm very pleased with it. Just kidding :))I expected to see more written impressions from this mobile owners

  • Before you make a comment about this phone you have to have it on your hands in order to make a conclusion. this phone is like having a rolex among any other phone. I just saw the $100k US at the vertu store in Las Vegas. absolutely beautiful.

  • the design excellent but the cost is higher then the living cost of a human..hope consider to change the price for more competative to other brand.

  • its a piece of jewellery. Id buy it even it had a mono color screen. And id still pay $4000+

  • very expensive!!!!!!! poor features.. wtf.. its a pice of trash

  • 5000 euro for this jewelery?batter i buy a samsung galaxy S whit 600 euro and i have one best phones at performance!5000 euro and don't have an 0.3 MP camera? AND i HATE phones with no JAVA

  • The beautifulest design from all vertus :)

  • it has no camera and it costt? like a car? god! its a stupid phone...doesent diserve the price! LOOLZ! no camera!!!!

  • hhhhuuuuuppp_ ___-nalyak .... assy tessy kra apniiiiiiiiiiiiii donkey khi ka

  • I jst bought this cell a month ago ......i think its d best looking cell ever made .....dere r many other phones wid better specification ......but d whole feel of dis phone is simply amazing .........i just luvvvvv. This phone .......

  • all you do is insure it through your home insurance.

  • yup....... its a nice phone.but the voice clarity its not good.

  • Perhaps you should click the concierge button for help

  • i only had a little crack when i designed this phone... it helped me stay up all night designing it. my only regret was they cut off my supply of diamonds half way through. DIAMONDS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeah it rocks, bcoz it is a ROCK!!!!

  • maybe oyou hold a fake one that s y it was heavy..???///

  • i think it should be bigger than this.

  • it's a jewlery it's not a cell phone

  • Because it looks like a Caddillac from above!

  • Very strong and stable reception.

  • Its a bling but no fun, trust me its borring to use this phone!

  • it even doesn't have MP3 player, 4 Gb memory for what?!

  • My phones are all vertu, there quite good. And I love the 'V design,. :D

  • i will sell it or put it on a frame ..

  • it looks like ultraman or power ranger fone...

  • I really don't understand why these Vertus cost so much. What if one happens to lose it? It really wouldn't matter to that person since he/she has to be rich. But i would never give it up if i found one !!

  • What are you talking about? That phone rocked!

  • i held that phone in my hand,and it feel like a metal brick,heavy like hammer,horrible peace of hardware,i agree with you,this phone just a show-off for rich idiots who doesn't know about cell phones nothing.

  • to the last Vertu used ..how the hell do you know that no one really used a vertu...oh my god come outta shell yo....its just an expensive piece of show off ..with some solid hardware attached to it...nothing else....and it suits the poser like VERTU-USER to do a bit of show off thats alll

  • its better than nokia 3310

  • you know...i think its funny that all these people are commenting about a phone that they have neither seen or used in person. I have a vertu signature s model and I can tell you the build quality is excellent. apart from being a quite a looker its an extremely sturdy phone. Although I have to be honest aside from the aforementioned pros, the phone itself cannot possibly justify the price I paid for it. I know a lot of Vertu owners will try to criticize me so they can rationalize their purchase, but there is no way an outdated symbian operating system can justify the 11000 price tag....regardless of materials. and by the way, the screen is not all that scratch proof. to be honest, i have no buyers remorse because of the money i spent on the phone, but from a free market view, this phone's utility does not really equalize with the price tag.

  • And it doesn't have camera!! What a tricky phone!! I rather any phone!!

  • I don't think it is a Bugatti of phones. For isntance you get an impressive and innovative 1001 hp engine with Veyron. Only the exterior looks like one. But this "Bugatti" has a 385 kbps 3G engine instead while my current Nokia has a 10 Mbps 3G. If I go further by your metaphor it is a VW Polo inside but an old Lotus Eclat outside (yeah the design is not that impressive and even dull outside too). The only remarkable point about this phone is its price tag. So if you're both rich and only use the the call and hangup buttons this phone is just for you. Not only a tech geek would like to be seen while using this phone in public :)

  • It is just like other phones assembled in a factory. but then added some manual work on finishing. The SMT assembly inside makes it impossible to assembly any component on it manually so only the finishing is hand made. The price is very very expensive. Just to let people know that you have an expensive phone but 3G only 385 kbps just like 3 year old cheap phones :) C'mon .

  • its better that i buy a remort of my tv rather buying this phone

  • there is paying to much attention on this cell phone...

  • this phone z like The buggati of phones. Its not just a phone for anyone, its purchased on order and hand assembled proffesional craftsmen, it costs from tens of thousands of $s to even hundreds of thousands(limited editions). Its stunning attention to detail and the use of precious materials tops up the luxurious design, making it nothing less than a fine piece of art. Vertu is not just any other phone brand it is a super brand which has no comparison. So for all yo criticising it think of this, unless you luck a sense of style or you are quite philanthropic, if you are ridiculously rich like say, Jay-Z, Trump, Beyonce e.t.c why not buy this work of art?

  • I am an Alpha and i do not need a phone like this to enhance my appearance, if i were to have the need to attract attention to my self because of a lack of self confidence then i would probably purchase a nice diamond ring and then just slip out my RAZR 2 v8 and that would be just sufficient, until then i will keep my OT-S853 and Nokia 6300 and SE K800i and my V8 Motto.

  • wew

  • i'll buy them off u, if there real

  • Whole sale? uhh these phones are HANDMADE! in england, per order. You sure you are not selling chineese mate tat! Think you have the wrong phone! And for what it is worth, it is a very good phone, the engineering behind it! You are paying for the craftmanship. It's not ment to dance about like a Sony Ericsson, it fills the basic functions of a mobile, talk and text with the extra feature of a quick change SIM at the top so you do not have to open the back of the phone up! Very Very handy for people who fly a lot for work or personal reasons. So A) get facts right PLEASE, if you are going to comment. B) learn a bit about things before you fire comments off.

  • meu pauuu e tao grande q minha namorada nao aguenta tem uma muie aii q gosta de cara pausudo o meu tem 46cm

  • I would rather buy a car over a alien phone.

  • You must be kidding, no ones gonna waste their money on tat phone.

  • a beautifull one

  • anyone who reads this should not buy ANY VERTU PHONE. i got this VERTU SIGNATURE S phone only 5 months old, and the sapphire crystal has scratched not like how they post it on their official website it's that grreatttt. That SUCKS. They won't repair it for you, if you want it fixed $600 bucks out of your pocket. If you guys know any other website to post this comment, please do it so that other people will not get scammed from the VERTU PHONE.

  • Amazing phone! Very stylish & well made with excellent voice quality, very strong & stable reception. The only problem that worries me is that if I buy it and one day if I want to sell it, there's probably no resale value!? Anyone know if Vertu shop do any trade-in with their phones ... like a car?

  • this phone is the bad. no very best. weell be regret if one you buy

  • wak...its not a phone its a bamboo............

  • wtf? transform.....

  • it sucks... i m regretting after buying in wholesale.... no one is even buying frm me in half price....

  • why cant you all speak english I feel like am reading DA rappin song book

  • great phone!!!

  • Do you really know the story of fox and the grapes...

  • what is this phone ?? it had nothing to buy it ?!!!

  • Awesome..., really cool phone. Go 4 it if u can afford 1. (9.5/10)

  • it is the most superb phone among all vertu phone... for those who have money to get it, please grab it... its all about craft man-ship... u wont regret if u have one for any functions... as i am working in the boutique itself...

  • If you people really wants to see what is craftsmanship than plz see the xfone models which is really amaging... its available in India metro cities loke -Mumbai -Pune -Delhi...etc.. Dear all think before you purchase Vertu Mobile you have option to buy Xfone Gold and Platinum version... www.xfoneinc.com i am having this phones its like a Good investment if can afford this one...

  • this is the most sexiest phone have ever seen in ma life.... it doesn jus look like a phone at all... at the first sight i thought its a brick lying on a road but wat philips has done is it had created a competition in the market with aii the brick manufacturers.... thank u and plz dont welcome me

  • hey dis phone is superb my dad has it it is superb

  • this phone is like Bentley in cell phone for baller, Samsung, LG, etc like that are like Civic or Toyota, sure Samsung or LG might have more feature and option but they don't have the "high class" feels and almost everybody have the same phone, you would want something like Vertu classy like why women want a Louie Vutton hangbag for $3000 when you can get a Wal-mart plastic bag for free? because they are for "status"

  • Prople wake up . the difference between the one who holds this phone and the one who does nt is that the first one does not waste his time commenting on things or people they utilize their time productively. so please go and work hard so that you can use this phone some day . p.s. i heard a sales man at dubai duty free shop on the phone stall that amithab bachan bought 3 -4 of these phone together. so just work hard when so that when you are 70 + you can actually buy such phones for your love ones and die

  • y ur inve'wast ur money in that buy diamond is very supber

  • huch magne.nenege yenu baralla.vertu is the best

  • its a waste fone.Because it lac too much of money.By the way fone does not have much specification and it is waste of money.My choice best nokia,samsung,motorola,sony ericsson and apple I phone

  • As compare to Vertu phone Xfone Hansets are very Good in Price Segment and features wise which Xfone Provides, Dear User of Luxiry Phones Kindly Check it out that Site:www.xfoneinc.com Really Xfone inc. having a Good Collection of Hansets.Why people pay to much? if they are having a Option to buy....

  • why this mobile worth Rs.5,54,000/- ... i mean it has nothing special besides the network speed

  • Those who hate this phone should be compared to the story " The fox and the grapes". Its worth fr its craftmanship and design. If u can't afford it then don't deteriate it.

  • Vertu Is! Nokia and yes it is available in India as well.

  • are you serious you are buying this mobile? hmmm have you ever heard of nokia or mabye samsung or sony ericsson?

  • ya this mobile is available in india... in chennai their is showroom named as helvatica....their u can find all models of vertu.... bye

  • guys priceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,,i asked so many times .is it avb in india where ,,,any drawbackes,,,,,,,,,,,,,any coments who own one,,,i buy or not...

  • wow ahaha its like a power ranger phone hihih weird design

  • In reply to everyone who has to say this is a waste of money becuse it lacks in features, i would like to point out that althought that may be, rich people just buy this because they want to be unique, as much as i can say i wouldnt buy this, if i was rich then i probably would to be unique.

  • The value of the holiday 10 years later would be nil. The value of the gold on this phone would be greater than the current price. And add the value of the craftmanship as well. I think its a great investment for those who can afford it.

  • 4gb are for use with voice memo. so you can record yourself for hours while crying because you bought this huge rip-off

  • i work in a mobile selling company and i got my hands on this phone .PHONE is just what it is no extra fetures for its money's worth better spent that amound of money to go to a nice island for holidays :P

  • No MP3,MP4.What a user will do with this 4GB memory?

  • Would that be free???? NO!!!1 Ever heard of Travel Agency??? They usually do the same thing and without a 12k phone

  • if this phone costs 20k dollars. from that price i think 19k dollars for decoration and th material used diamons and platinum. vertu uses the same platinum to make their phones the one nasa is using to prepare their space settles. and it is fire proof,water proof,scratch proof. if you throw this phone from the 7 story high building it will not brake or even there will be no scratch on it........that all cost thousand dollars....

  • respect it? what is there to respect? you could get a much more practical phone with a hell of alot more features for around 1200, and it will be the best phone you'll have. spend 12k to make a decent phone look bling if thats what you're after. vertu get no respect from me, or alomst anyone else

  • the ugliest phone i have ever seen... designer of this phone must have been on crack, it looks to me this phone has made for rich people who do not have any taste, lets say the Arab lords who own the oil towers...

  • it's not about the features, it's about the service, a phone and concierge service that will book you a flight to a totally different country by charter at the drop of a hat is worth a trillion quid! all these people wanting 5 mp cameras and walkmans.....go for your standard crappy sony and nokias

  • i decided to buy BMW(sorry 4r vertu)

  • I love this phone

  • and wi-fi and screen more resoluction and memory more and 3g and bluetooth and more..

  • waste of money vertu = nokia 1661 + diamonds + gold

  • I have had the opportunity to have this as a phone for a month. And I must say, this phone is the biggest waste of money ever made. It doesn't even look very good. I mean if Vertu are selling a phone that expensive, it can have at least decent features. I'm not saying GPS or a bazillion mega pixel camera or something, just something that can make it like its sibling 8800.

  • i currently work in the docks and am working really hard a forgoing my evenings meals and a few showers just so i can buy this phone. i currently own a nokia 3210 an it was stolen by a homeless guy. now im phoneless and want one of these. apparently if i get this phone i can get anyone i want and will look really rich. anyone know on where to get one, maybe half price or third hand?

  • This is simly for folk who want to show off....

  • This is indeed a nice phone. In fact it's half jewelery. So it should be used as a half jewelery too not a full phone. I believe the rich and famous can buy more than one phone. This phone is just for glamorous thing to match their glamorous stuffs when they are in special occasions or as a collection because it's uniqueness. People buy things not only for it'useful but also there are some that buy for it's unique. I will buy vertu when I make more than 1 million dollar a year hehe..

  • well now i have 3 kind of vertu.. one daimond one gold and stainless seel. well, i hope the designer will create one with white gold and gold mix.. with diamonds and cheetah skin! i will be the first to buy it if they have!

  • I want this phone as my upgrade to Nokia Arte Gold. Where is the Vertu showroom in Berlin?

  • Are you kidding me!! Look at all you ants running around makin little comments, be real for once, a rich business man/woman won't want this "luxury" phone, it has nothing besides expensive material, features are bad and business people/rich folks want a smartphone, somethin that does everything for them, like:htc touch cruise, touch diamond, tytn2, or nokia n95, n79, n85, e66, e75, e71, thats what rich people want...

  • the only difference is that N95 doesn't have any diamonds. but why you need diamonds on the phone anyway.

  • Alot of people miss the point of this phone,its a luxury status symbol phone. Hand made ! So even if you had 12k you would have to find one first and its the "it" phone to have this year. Your retarded if you think you could even buy it and then complain about it having no features. People who have it,are very successful to say the least in life and 12k to them is like taking out a 10 dollar bill to buy a combo meal.

  • very expensive!

  • Hi this phone is only for millioner, not for all so v should only admire it but dont think to own it .... but should respect it .....

  • Hi. This phone named "Verto" doesnt eaven worth that money , there is a verto phone ( 7 of them are made in the world i think ! ) and it costs 350.000EUROS , IM NOT KIDDING ! , i buy with 200E a N0KIA N95 8gb , and its 1000 TIMES BETTER , and it has 1000 more features ! , I DONT RECOMENT THIS PHONE TO NONE OF U PEOPLE ! Roli- ORADEA !

  • For their white & yellow gold model, it cost more than a million in peso value. You do the math...

  • Purely a luxury thing, way too expensive for their white & yellow gold model. You can buy a branded car with its value.

  • oh well.... at least has wi-fi, you can navigate (maybe) perhaps rich people are so busy that don't need anything more than SMS and calls?

  • uhm, no camera, no external memory slot, NO JAVA SUPPORT!! ...it's an ultra-expensive SMS terminal, and yeah, you can make calls too!

  • if you can afford the phone, you wouldn't be walking around places where a robber would chip your hands.

  • lol no camera no gps why do u take this crap ?

  • it's my dreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam phone!!!

  • i using this phone but i cant walk on night cause the robber can chip my hand

  • i using this phone,this very nice but a robber can chip yours hands
