The lovely TFT screen has a resolution of 320 x 240. You can purchase one now for 459 Euros, or wait for a short while more for the price drop as it is released across the continent.

Vertu’s new $90,000 handset will feature tiny diamonds dotted all over, and a keypad that carries eight carat’s worth of diamonds. The phone’s body in constructed from the finest platinum, underpinned with ruby bearings and equipped with a similar ceramic composition originally intended for the space shuttle. For that price, it doesn’t even come with a camera! Only 200 such phones will be sold in jewelry and department stores. You’d expect such a phone to come with more than a 1-year warranty.
