Luxury phone maker Vertu to "usher in touchscreens"

The phones are ugly. Hopelessly ugly. If I was selecting a phone by a look, I would never choose this one. But, I wouldnt select sofa from Versace or suitcase made by Luis Vuitton either, so my tastes might be weird :wink:
Plus, that phone will be obsolete in the next six months. Now that I think about it, its internals must be obsolete today.

If I had money to burn, I would purchase one of those just released Yota phones with e-ink display on the back. But … if I was that rich (as rich as a typical Vertu customer), I could probably have a personal assisntant that would lug a dozen of leather bound paper books for me ewerywhere.
