The blackberry is a tacky phone, sure it has fancy features but when you hold it it feels like a toy. This is a designer phone, and just a phone with the most basic features, for the person who doesn't have to worry about checking their email 24/7 or taking photos in 8mp, it's a designer PHONE in it's purest form.

this would be ok if it had a mclaren badge on it. but i have a 8800 carbon fibe nokia and i think it looks better than this plus this costs 40000 dollars where i live and the nokia is 6000.

6000$ for a 8800? are you crazy?, that phone is at most 1200$. Hell i paid 300$ for my N96, sure 40 of em fell off the back of a truck but still 6000$ is ridiculous, considering that this phone wouldn't even cost that. Regular vertu is about 4499$. Vertu Boucheron King Cobra is 300,000$. Donno if they sold any units of that one.

I don't see why Ferrari doesn't make their own phone like Porsche does. Yes I know it is "Porsche Design"....but still!
