Most people, even rich ones don't want to spend 5 figures on a phone, even ones who do can get a gold/diamond encrusted iPhone.

Date: June 21st, 2012 10:35 AM Author: Odious Yapping Mental Disorder Theater Stage Your statement was merely "Apple makes me jizz". What kind of retort were you expecting? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1974777&forum_id=2#20927447) |

Date: June 21st, 2012 10:52 AM Author: talking hunting ground I never said such. You obviously didn't read my statement. What part do you disagree with? That the Vertu is a Nokia (its even owned by them and runs on the symbian OS) or Apple is pretty dominant in the high end of market (look at the numbers for yourself).

Some have iphones, some have Galaxy S 2s, etc. LOL @ this "omg, everyone that is anyone has an Apple!" (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1974777&forum_id=2#20927601) |

Date: June 22nd, 2012 9:10 AM Author: talking hunting ground You obviously can't read and you must be a shitty lawyer. Saying Apple dominates the high end of the phone market is not the same as saying "everyone that is anyone has Apple". It also doesn't change the fact that Vertu is nothing but a guady Nokia.

It's like a $10k hooker, the product exists to simply be able to say you CAN pay $10k for a phone. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1974777&forum_id=2#20920937) |

Date: June 20th, 2012 6:42 PM Author: federal library partner On a related issue, who else thinks the iPhone has lost any cool factor it once had? The last three cabbies I had were talking on iPhones. My cleaning lady has one. I realize it's still best-in-class technology, but it used to be something to brag about. I think there is a market opening for a prestige phone, but Apple itself needs to fill it somehow. iPhone Jungle Cat! (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1974777&forum_id=2#20923324) |

Date: June 21st, 2012 9:11 AM Author: Poppy roommate circlehead I vaguely remember reading somewhere that these things came with some crazy worldwide concierge service, which explains at least part of the cost. Still stupid, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1974777&forum_id=2#20927177) |

When I read that I imagine someone calling in a catered party with plates full of cocaine to a remote island off the power grid, using apache helicopters. |
