Until recently, the vast majority of mobile phones had been priced
between £100 and £300 with only Vertu, a division of Nokia,
manufacturing uber-premium phones. With prices starting at around £4,000
Vertu phones are only for the filthy rich and the super famous.
However, Vertu's monopoly of the luxury phone market is coming to an end with the launch of several new luxury mobile makers including Gresso, Mobiado and GoldVish. A load of other mobile phone manufacturers are also working up partnerships with luxury brands get a piece of the action. We're beginning to see premium mobile phones emerge from couplings such as LG and Prada, D&G and Motorola, and now Tag Heuer and Modelabs. Finally, there are the ridiculous, super-expensive one-offs made purely for headline grabbing such as Goldvish's "Le million", worth a cool $1,000,000, see below for details!
