£6700 Phone Uses Android Instead of Windows

Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 12, 2013 @05:22AM from the fool-money-separator dept.

judgecorp writes "Vertu, the luxury phone maker formerly owned by Nokia, has chosen Android over Windows Phone for its new £6700 Vertu Ti device. The bling brand is no longer part of Nokia, so is free to shun Windows Phone — apparently because there are not enough apps there for Vertu's rich customers." Previous Vertu handsets used Symbian. Note: £6700 is just over 10,000 USD.

The kind of person who would waste that kind of money on a phone merits a phone that sucks.
