Vertu Ti launched in Malaysia

If you need to ask how much it costs, you're not in the market for a phone like the Vertu Ti

The Vertu Ti: a $10,000 Android phone

The price? Depending on your choice of finishing for the device, the Vertu Ti is priced from RM 32,740(EUR 7,900) up to RM 68,381

What Vertu does offer that no other competitor can claim, besides the titanium and sapphire crystal, is what amounts to a live personal assistant on-call at the press of just a single button. Vertu's Concierge Services outsource a lot of the functions – such as booking exclusive hotels and dinner reservations – that the rest of us do via apps, to a live person on the ground in the same region of the world.

This product reminds of a old adage, which would seem to be appropriate.

"A fool and his money are soon parted"

Worst part: With technology changing about every 30 seconds now, you're going to be stuck with a $10,000 antique phone, just about a minute after they've already cashed your check.

Vertu has never been a phone for those with any kind of good taste... Gullible fashion victims with far more money than sense (and who presumably need a grown-up to book a table or a hotel room for them because they lack the skills necessary to do it for themselves) will no doubt flock like brainless sheep to this breathtaking piece of kitsch The sort of people who need to buy handbags with the designer brand's name in big letters in order to tell the proles that they are rich and very stupid...

Oh well, if you feel you have to keep up with the Kardashians or the Beckhams...
