I Saw "VERTU" Live Photos!

Mialo John Ko's I Saw "VERTU" Not many people see VERTU. It is because the marketing of VERTU defines the products as the supreme high end product not for the general public. VERTU will only launch private party for the famous celebrities ONLY around the world. VERTU do not have public sales channel. All sales procedures are conducted at her private suite. Luckily, Singaporian Milo John Ko saw and touch VERTU at the launch party, and he noted down in his website. The belows are the what he saw 1. " Vertu handset is larger than my Nokia 8250, very large" 2. " Vertu handset is very heavy too" 3. " It has antenna" 4. " The backlight is similar with Motorola V70" 5. " The ringtone of Vertu is very nice, polyphonic ringtone! and the speaker is on the back. 6. " The menu design is very similar with my 8250 but all logos are different" 7. " The guests said Vertu handset cannot use with StarHub (one mobile operator in Singapore) 8. " It is made of metal, while there is leather around the side"
