What could make a ridiculously expensive smartphone like the Vertu Ti, the first Android powered smartphone from the premium phone manufacturer, even more expensive than it already is? Release a limited edition of course, Vertu recently announced that Verti Ti is available in Sunset Red or Midnight Blue calf leather, with only 1,000 units of each color options.
Apart from the color, everything else on the device is pretty much the same as the standard edition with hand-crafted, matt grey titanium finish. Just to refresh you a little just in case you’ve forgotten about the device over the month, Vertu Ti features a 3.7” touch sapphire display, runs on Android 4.0 and is powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor with 64GB of storage on board. It packs a 8MP camera at the back and as with all Vertu devices, it comes with access to Vertu Concierge, a premium club exclusively available to Vertu owners.
As for the price tag, the original Vertu Ti costs about EUR 7,900 (RM33,180) and this limited edition ones are EUR 1,000 more expensive at EUR 8,900 (RM37,380).

at the end..we lower people are here to define higher people…such a sad cosmos we are in..
Pfftt…..I had expected more from such exclusive, high end phone. It appears most of the cost of the phone goes to its titanium casing. As for the specs itself, it is pitiful.
I had thought this would be the Alienware of smartphones but it is certainly not. 3.7″ display screen would be acceptable in 2010 but not today. 5″ is the new standard. 8MP camera is simply pitiful when flagship smartphones are boasting 13MP camera.
