Confucius

For example; 2 specimens each worth over AED20,000...

LOL I asked my hubby for the VERTU phone, I had of course not looked at the price tag. It is a seriously nice phone though, apparently comes with a concierge type service............How the other half live.

Confucius

Yeah...The concierge answers your calls for you and schedules your diary...

The thing is, just like any mobile phone, once you buy it, more than half the money you paid disappears at that exact moment...It's not an investment at all...

ceres

I think if you can afford to buy a phone like that, you have to have a serious amount of money to burn......would imagine the people who buy these are not the sort of people who bother to look at the price tag!

Confucius

True...And the retailers are inflating prices even more because of that...

ceres

It won't be long before your neds are running around with their copies.

Confucius

I don't think they would copy the Tag...

ceres

Why do you think they wouldn't copy the Tag?

Confucius

Won't sell as much as a Vertu copy...Not everyone knows that Tag also manufacture phones...

ceres

I would have thought that a Tag phone would would sell better because of the name. However the Vertu is a better looking phone, so you mayvery well be right.

I am so not into mobile phones, last one is the basic nokia! as long as I can ring people and text that's enough for me. BUT I did see a lush pink nokia for 700 dhs - I didn't buy it though

Confucius

You can get it on 24 monthly installments...Subject to bank Terms and Conditions...

Madam Medusa

if you need it on installments, you can't afford it...

Confucius

I always let the bank decide...

Madam Medusa

then that's where you've been going wrong...
