VERTU's suck
they are for the rich spoiled and the MAYBE famous !
all it has is looks and expensive metals/stones embedded in it
ever see a spec for a vertu ?
the features ?
it sux
im better off with my 6260 thank you !

The Vertu handset's monochrome screen, above-average weight, and lack of support for such technologies as Bluetooth and GPRS leaves geeks unimpressed.

but it also says

But they are not the target market. Besides, new features can be added by switching the handset's removable innards: a free colour-screen upgrade is planned later this year.

its just nokia's way of getting ... like i said. .. the rich spoiled and MAYBE famous "involved" in their collection
and ofcourse gettin paid a bomb for it

tho they do offer this

A big selling-point is a special button that connects the user to Vertu's dedicated concierge service, which can organise travel, restaurant and hotel bookings, or find a good doctor or florist in a foreign city. When Ms Paltrow mislaid her phone's charger she called the concierge and a new one arrived within minutes. The concierge service is available worldwide in five languages. Detailed records are kept of each customer's preferences.

all in all ??
ill stick to my 6260 like i said ... and dial in times info line or ask me

Did you guys read Digit. The smash my phone thin. Well i too am thinking of giving my idiot 7250(in front of SE's phones) off to that model and have it crushed under her sports car. SE K700i here i come! Anyone wants to join?

[liquid_nitrogen88]

i am thinkin abt gettin one......
but i wont give away my 7250i....or 8310 kept in fridge now....
nokia is the most user friendly.......
and reliable.....

SE is cool....loaded with features....complements my sony P72...but i dint like the menu system much.......tho display is the best i hav seen....

well blades all over it
but between those 2 ?
dude id suggest the 7610
tho i dun like the keypad ...ANYMORE >.. but i used to love the phone
and i still do like it !
besides its the best one in the market

see the link ...everythign should be clear
there are just 2 things against the 6260
battery life ( VERY bad)
and the low res cam
7610 has good battery life and a 1mp cam
i jsut couldnt afford it

Presently i have SE k500i and i am deciding to get k700i just for the bluetooth...coz i use bluetooth ( n GPrs Airtel )to surf net on notebook while roing around but the thing is :
Is that phone worth it or should i get another cheap bluetooth phone since i need just the bule tooth to surf the net. I dont use Airtel as my regular phone or anything just ner surfing . ..moreever please tell me one thing too.
Are there any bluetooth phone for under 5k since i dont want to leave SE 500i....just as i need to use bluetooth .
