Nokia is a
maker of smart phones and its latest is the Vertu
It may be a smart
phone but it’s more like a virtu
A very
limited run of 2000 not destined for the teenager in the mall
Or the
struggling entrepreneur or lobbyist wining the Senate pols
Or the young
actors or the young actress dolls
But a Vertu
for the elite is a phone Nokia hopes would enthrall
2000 have
been made as an option in Bentleys to be installed
At a bargain
price of only 17 grand but with soft leather to caress
With titanium
cover with diamond knurling to an onlooker impress
Some
exclusive software for Bentley owners to enjoy an elite Bentley lifestyle
As in
comfort and envy they drive along the miles
But beneath
the 17 grand here lies the catch
The combination
of luxury and technology does not match
The OS of
the phone Android 4.4 is only run of the mill
Capable of
maybe half of what an iPhone 6 will perform
People save
rock stars who can afford a Bentley usually follow this norm
Do not spend
like a drunken sailor; invest wisely to let your investments perform
Rather than
spend 17 grand to feel or have your driver fee leather over a second rate phone
Buy a Coach
purse for the console and another iPhone6 for your Bentley throne
With the
money save buy some more Alibaba shares
Smiling at
the bystanders as at your Vertuless throne they stare
Nice thing
about a society such as ours you can sell to the masses or sell to the elite
A hundred different
ways to shake the Invisible Hand and compete
