Vertu Signature S hits the FCC, launches in October; ours is on the way

Never one to turn down a Vertu, we’ve just came across Vertu’s latest handset in all its FCC glory. For starters, it has 850MHz/2100MHz 3G support, Wi-Fi, and probably the craziest futuristic design we’ve ever seen. Many Vertu lovers across the globe loved their original Signatures but they were quick to be completely outdated in terms of technology, thus they were “forced” to switch to the Constellation (small and smooth) or the Ascent Ti (huge and feature-packed). Well, no more Vertu friends, no more. In addition to the aforementioned specs, you’ve also got an OLED screen to look forward to, a slide-out SIM card tray, and the love-it-or-hate-it Vertu Concierge (read: use American Express Centurion Concierge instead). When you’re done drooling over it, go lift up that plastic couch cover your grandma uses, scrape those pennies together, and run, not walk, to your local Nokia or Torneau. We’ll see you there.

    Me too Lewis, that capital S and hits were a little too close together.

    So… it’s basically one of those crappy free phones you can get when you sign up to a 2-year contract, but pimped out with leather, gold, and various rare rocks? Awesome! My only question is: Will it come with “I Am Rich” preinstalled? I need to know in order to make my purchase decision!!

    Fo real. If you have to ask lol. Stanovoy; part of me wants to believe you are joking. The other 98% of me is curious why you are posting on this blog in the first place. If you would like a clear understanding of just how incredible the build quality, performance, and overall value of a vertu phone is, go to http://www.ihaventleftmyparentsbasementfor4years.net

    Pffft. What’s the big deal? I have two of these lying around the house, and one more stuck in the Chesterfield somewhere.

    Don’t hate.

    Hey, this is important to the super, insanely, obnoxiously, and unapologetically rich like myself! The last time when I bought a solid gold Bentley, I was PISSED when I found out that the car didn’t scream “I’m RICH!!!” every time I honked the horn! Such nerve selling me a POS like that! When I tried to return it, I ran over a speed bump and the damn golden axle turned into a pretzel!! So now it’s sitting in my diamond crusted dumpster.

    As a super snobishly rich consumer, I don’t want this to happen again! I demand quality! I demand a phone that can automatically call up random people and tell them just how rich I am! Who cares if it is as functional as Paris Hilton? Who cares if it is larger than my laptop (which is also of solid gold)? As long as it can blind the bejesus out of everyone with its triple layered blings, I’ll the first in line to get one! (Well, actually, I will be telling my servant to call his butler, who will in turn tell his secretary, who will in turn direct her accountant to wait in line. I’m just that RICH!)

    So you WERE joking! Thank goodness. BTW, gold is so 1849. Adamantium is where it is now “at”. You may want to get your Bentley re-plated.

    anyone who’s intelligence doesn’t get insulted by this probably doesn’t have any.
    if you really wanted to feel exclusive why don’t you write me a cheque or better yet bring me a shoe box filled with cash and i’ll find that phone i have from 1997 and polish it nicely then stick on the leather label from my jeans (with tiny screws) and a few other flares to it and ship it back to you in a nicer shoe box.
    limited time only! (followed by more limited times)
