Smartphones, a luxury item turned tool, then a tool turned into everyday accessory. Almost everyone has some sort of mobile device and it's become so commonplace that it's really hard to keeping showing up the competition. Then comes Vertu, a company based in England that turned this accessory into a fashion statement. Vertu has literally changed the way we look at mobile devices, or as they refer to it "mobile communication instruments". We're using to seeing the the same old plastic phones with the chrome paint or if we're lucky enough we'll see a particularly nice metal/aluminum body. How about forgetting all of that and swapping it for material like titanium, platinum, gold, diamonds, rubies, real mother of pearl, and real 100% genuine leather? Well These are the materials Vertu works with.   (Photo courtesy of Vertu) The Vertu Signature Touch is, my favorite, their "signature" line when you need that extra something to go with your Bentley or Aston Martin. Coincidentally enough Vertu has a Bentley signature phone as well. With all it's glitz and glam, what's under the hood? Well the Vertu is one phone that is great inside and out. Each phone is handcrafted to perfection by an artisan in England and they take their perfection down to the stud of every phone. Of course with this level of details comes with a price to match, but it's well worth it. Who can really say they have their phone build from the ground up by hand, with real leather for the case, and the experience to match? Vertu can.
