Vertu Constellation Quest

Filed under: Gadgets

The ranks of the world's wealthy still have their fair share of old money, but self-made millionaires are becoming more and more common. And if you've made it there on your own, it probably took a lot of hard work. While luxuries are due the self-made wealthy, a businessman isn't about to give up the tools that got him there. So while a Vertu phone may seem like a nice indulgence, most businessmen would likely rather keep their Blackberries and all their functionality.

That's where the new Vertu Constellation Quest comes in. It packs all the high-end design features that set a Vertu apart from more common mobile phones, but packs a full QWERTY keyboard and a wider screen to keep its user connected and in the loop.

For the Quest, Vertu has also introduced new features like Vertu Remote Assist that allows the tech support team on call 'round the clock to go into the phone and fix whatever's not working. There's also Vertu City Brief, providing users with fingertip access to information on whatever location they're traveling to. All that and more, packed into a choice of stainless steel (matte or polished) or 18-karat gold case with a leather back and sapphire crystal screen.

Vertu Releases New Constellation Ayxta Flip-Phone

Rich folks like Vertu. (They must, otherwise Nokia wouldn't keep on making ten-thousand-dollar mobile phones, now would they?) But some like flip-phones better than the candy-bar form factor that has characterized its offerings until now. So ostensibly to satisfy such discerning customers, Vertu has released the new Constellation Ayxta.

Like the Ascent, Signature and the existing Constellation model, the Ayxta features luxurious hand-craftsmanship, leather trim and access to the company's bespoke concierge service, on call around the clock from anywhere in the world. The Ayxta's clamshell form also packs a 3-megapixel camera with flash, an 8-gig micro-SD slot and 3G wireless connection. Which by themselves may not warrant the phone's $6,500 - $8,500 asking price, but then companies like Vertu would argue that the whole of its product is more than the sum of its parts.
