Exately, could do loads of other cool stuff for that kinda money.

PS - For those who don't know, there is an insanely priced Aston Matrin watch too

I think the mclaren edition on the sx1 was better. Atleast they were selling it at the same price with more goodies and that sexy black colour. I dunno if nokia will be able to sell them unless the price comes down

khanak · 13th April 2006, 13:09

the watch maybe worth it. unlike the 8800 which is quite similar to the regular 8800.......

karthik247 · 13th April 2006, 13:39

Car manufacturers seem to go into these kinda stuff lately. Ferrari with their laptop, Lamborghini is also comming up with a laptoop i guess, Aston Martin with their watch and the mobile..wonder what/who's next?

The phone 8800 with or without the aston martin logo isnt wort it AT ALL!
Its got NOTHING! a vga camera, no features.. all for a price of 40k+... I surely wouldn pay tat much for something like it..

carfreak · 13th April 2006, 13:44

waste of money!!never felt the 8800 was worth all the money and for an aston logo i am not willing to pay any extra!!

khanak · 13th April 2006, 14:05

you dont buy a 8800 for features. you buy it just for its style and exclusivivty.nd if u think 8800 is a ripoff check out Vertu

Rightly said khank, its just a style and exclusivity in buying the Nokia AM-8800 for £940 its more like for the category of people who have the money but not as much to spend £9,400 to £23,000 to buy a vertu.

Cheers,
ash

thers a thread on vertu.......check it out

devarshi84 · 25th April 2006, 09:34

vertus are useless completely. No features et al. buy a siemens sl65 escada instead.

atleast 8800 has some to boast about like stainless steel and lots of presence.

vertu has been officially launched in india. i saw the event on a news channel. it was always available in india officially dont know why they launched it.among the brand ambassadors are karan johar, ajay bijli(pvr cinemas) shobha de nd a couple of others.

i dont feel vertus are useless. ur paying for exclusivity which is priceless also the materials used..........refer to the vertu thread for more
