The Luxury Of Mobility

What Can I say, I am a real sucker for gadgetry. Besides a fine timepiece today, there are very few items that provide luxury on the move. We are at a point where we rely on our mobile phones more than anything else. In a way its become a world where we all flock like sheep to make that call or send that email on our phones, its all about the hear and now and instant gratification. So why not a $7,000 mobile phone.

Vertu, a luxury mobile phone company which is a subsidiary of Nokia came out of no where. Taking the basic fundamentals of mobile phone technologies, and wrapping the luxury and exclusivity around it, to make it that much more desirable, starting hitting fine watch retailers almost 5 years ago now. These phones manufactured in England, using only the finest skins, including calf, crocodile and various exotics have become highly sought after, and statements of status. One of the hottest phones that was released in Oct/Nov of last year was the Accent TI.

The body of this phone was inspired by the incredible architectural lines of some of the most revered super cars, and is constructed out of titanium for the most optimal strength to weight ratio. The engineering of the body consisting of two parts when welded together is absolutely seamless. This luxury phone is equipped with a three mega pixel auto focus camera, with the integration of flash lighting, a sapphire scratch resistant crystal protects the screen, the camera lens and flash is so hard that it has to be polished by diamond tipped tools. The incredible well finished key pad is individually lit from beneath creating the ultimate flood lit visibility in darkest of areas. One click and you have called upon your very own private 24 hour 7 days a week concierge service, allowing the ultimate in luxuries and services available.

How much more secret agent can you feel with another click of a button and you can back up from any part of the world, your phones data which is secured and maintained in an ex- military underground bunker in England. The ceramic ear pillow is only made out of the same ceramic used to protect the space shuttle.
