Talk is cheap in some quarters. Vertu wants you to value your every word with their line of bling-bling phones that range from $5,000-$25,000 retail depending on your disposable wallet. Most phones are made of gold, platinum, titanium and stainless steel. Custom made phones can drive up the price up as much as $325,000 from materials such as gold-and-sapphire. This conspicuous consumption is the Cadillac of phones and flaunts to ordinary consumerism. Not really a necessity, just a status object.
