Our “This week in fake devices” series continues. This weekend we bring you 4 “unofficial” Vertu phones. Each one of them borrows few lines from Nokia’s luxury arm, but fails in terms of quality, warranty and so on. Without further ado, here they are:
-
-
Vertu 6612 ripoff
-
-
VERTU V6000i ripoff
-
-
Vertu V10 ripoff
-
-
Vertu V100 ripoff
Two of the phones come with a touchscreen (V6000i and 6612), whereas two others (V100 and V10) don’t. Bluetooth support is on board, music player, microSD memory card slot and in some cases two SIM card slots…
That’s all we have in terms of details this week, and in this case “a picture is worth a thousand words.” If you’re into buying a Vertu phone, make sure to buy it in a Nokia Flagship Store or some other fancy place. These kind of devices shouldn’t be bought over Internet, as you do want an excellent service that comes with the purchase, right?
And we’re continuing with the series next week. Stay tuned…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
