I never understood this. If you're going to make a ridiculously expensive phone by taking an existing model and covering it in gold and diamonds, then why not start out with a high-end model ? It's not going to have any significant impact on the price anyway.
- umvi 8y agoProbably same reason Dell's high end XPS laptops use low end absolute crap stock parts on the inside (no name Wifi/SSD cards) - to maximize margins as much as possible?
- FussyZeus 8y ago^ Bingo. People who buy a Vertu aren't buying it to use it, they're buying it to say they have one. Could have the guts of a Nokia tracfone, wouldn't matter. The guts aren't the important part.
