I Thought the Storm Was High-End...
Shows what I know. I thought the BB Storm was considered a high-end cellphone....HA!
Who knew there was an entire Luxury World out there (besides aggie)? Looks like the king is Vertu, which has been around since 2002. Their beauties range from the cheap ($4500) to the ridiculous ($310,000). Oh, did I mention that Vertu is a subsidiary of....wait for it....Nokia!!!  Now it looks like TAG Heuer jumped in in with a line that starts at $4700. Then there is the Obsession line, which is only about $2300. They also have a Continental Collection where you can get the BB Bold of your dreams. A Diamond version? Only $3700! Platinum and Crocodile? Only $2000! However, you may want to pick your dream soon as it appears the global recession is seriously affecting the luxury cellphone market in a bad way.

I guess there are those who have not been destroyed by the current financial situation in the world. I guess cell phones are like cars. For most of us commoners, the Storm is about as high end as we will see. Like a Caddy, Benz, or BMW, if you work hard enough, you can have one of these. But there are those out there who can, without thinking about it, can walk in and with the stroke of a pen, can drive off in a Rolls Royce. I just wish I was one of those.
