Just when we’ve told you that the first Vertu-made Android smartphone could be released soon, we got the first leaked press image(s) to show you. As far as I can tell, this isn’t the Nokia 8800 legacy, or at least it doesn’t look like the Finnish company’s once-popular feature phone. Rather, it’s an all-touchscreen device with just a few buttons and the familiar Vertu design that undoubtedly includes high-quality materials like stainless steel and perhaps some precious metals.

It is said that this Vertu phone, marked as Ti RM-828V, will come with a 1.5GHz Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon dual-core processor, NFC capability, 1,250mAh battery, Wi-Fi, while Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich will run the show. No word whether it will be upgradable to Jelly Bean, though.

As far as we’ve heard, the their first Android-powered Vertu smartphone will be launched at the end of February but we’re unsure whether that will include the Ti RM-828V or not. We’ll let you know when we hear something new on this…

    Specs are unimpressive to say the least. But then again, specs sheet rarely sells these kind of phones…
