And gives you a massive hard-on while revving at 9500rpm.

Fuad, have you seen those new race-inspired Vertu phones?

Yeah, I know about the nokias, I was just talking about in general, and the Vertu is really in a league of its own with the pricing.

Yea dude, there were some limited edition ones, with a tire thread at the back of the phone. A bit ghey if you ask me. I want a Vertu, even the basic one (accent), but fuck, I cannot justify spending that much money on a phone. A buddy of mine has it, and it sure is sweet!

I want the motorsport edition!!! yummm..

Well those too, but I mean the Racetrack Legends series...



Silverstone and Monza are out now, the first 2 of the series of 6. 1000 will be made of each, starting at $5700 USD.

Originally posted by fayraree I just got a new boring phone from work Samsung a860. Like, you have to go through SO MUCH effort just to find a damn phone that doesn't have a camera these days!

no kidding fayraree, i completely agree.

when i got mine two years ago, i went to the shop and said, i want a phone. i dont need bluetooth, i dont need a camera, i dont even need a color screen (but they all had color).

the cameras in them are SHIT anyway...

i love my nokia 3120!

Originally posted by fayraree Yeah PM can be daunting! Right next to my office at Woodside Mall (I think that's ther right name)--Woodbine and Hwy 7 there's this Chinese mall that has about 5 stores. I checked it out a few months ago and the prices and selections were pretty awesome. Maybe if you and Simms wanted to drop by in Richmond Hill after work sometime I can show you around. I could use an update after receiving that shitty phone that Cale also cut up quite nicely for me.

Thanks dude! I think i will definietly be checking it out cause I'm a cheap and I am not paying $300+ for a phone that I'll end up dropping somewhere!

I'll most likely hit up PM sometime during a weekend in the near future. I know those places are daunting and I am the worst at bargaining - I can't do it to save my life.

Yup, I mentioned that in my previous post, I do not like the tire thread on those phones. I saw them in London not too long ago. A bit cheesy if you ask me. But I love the track display on the battery cover.

I don't get these phones. What exactly makes them so sweet? The pricetag?

1. The craftsmanship that goes in the making of the phone
2. Exclusivity.

They have no function nor style. At least Rolex looks good for the most part.

And exclusivity? You can buy like a 500 dollar phone, and good chances are you'll never meet anybody who has one like yours, especially if you buy one that was never released in NA.
