Vertu has teamed-up with Italia Independent to unveil two new phones – touchscreen-based Constellation Blue and QWERTY keyboard-equipped Constellation Quest Blue.
As far as I can tell, both devices are powered by Symbian S60, though their true “strength” lies in the premium materials used to make them. In that sense, new Vertu Constellation phones sport blue carbon fiber composite for the back plate and the earpiece cushion, blue sapphire crystal for the keys, two-tone blue rubberized leather and polished blue Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) stainless steel.
The Constellation Blue packs a 3.5-inch nHD (360×640 pixels) AMOLED screen with sapphire crystal cover, 8-megapixel camera, 32GB of built-in storage, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS and FM Radio. The Constellation Quest Blue, on the other hand, has a 2.46-inch VGA display (again) protected by sapphire crystal, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 4GB of built-in memory.
As usual, Vertu phones come with complementary Concierge service as part of the purchase, plus there are exclusive ringtones played by the London Symphony Orchestra.
Price was not unveiled but you know how they say – if you have to ask for the price, the chances are you can’t afford a Vertu phone.

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. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
