Well folks its almost Valentines day and you better have some cash saved,Thats is you fancy spending 14k on a new phone from Vertu. We are all quite aware now of Vertu who make exquisite handsets that do not come cheap,and they have just announced a new one called the Clous De Paris just in time for Valentines day..
CLOUS DE PARIS
The Signature Touch Clous de Paris features an engraved Grade-5 titanium back plate and sides, creating an eye-catching guilloche pattern that reflects the light for a near-precious quality. It’s finished in unmistakable alligator skin, crafted by specialist French and Italian tanneries, for a supple, matt feel and striking appearance.

MicroAB USB system connector with USB On-The-Go support
3.5mm audio socket
Bluetooth® v4.0 + LE
CSR aptX® high quality encoded audio support
NFC including support for embedded and SIM based secure elements

As usual with Vertu you get all the extras such as Concierge,Life and Certainty and if you want to really sweeten the deal on the special day cases start at only €450 and can go up to just €1,995,thats all,so off you go lads…..
Vertu is well known for its expensive phones and expensive they are indeed,all commanding big money so you will need deep pockets,let that be no mistake here.The last phone which was Vertu for Bentley only cost €12,500 but with this new range they begin at €8,900 and the top spec now cost €15,000 which is to be honest madness,but bespoke or custom phones like this are common these days either be it from the manufacturer themselves of companies offering to encrust your phone in diamonds of your choice….Vertu devices run on Android too so this makes it that bit easier a sell in my opinion..
