Luxury phone maker Vertu has taken the wraps off their new handset, the Vertu Constellation Quest, a stylish phone which features a full QWERTY keyboard. The company has started sending out emails teasing the new model a couple of weeks ago and now we can finally feast our eyes on this new luxury handset.

The Constellation Quest is made of either matte or polished stainless steel or even 18-karat gold with a leather back and comes with either stainless steel or sapphire crystal keys. The phone is obviously aimed at the business user and it can be configured for each user when purchased in store for an effortless user experience.

Vertu has also introduced a special Remote Assist technology which allows ones phone to be accessed remotely for technical assistance twenty four hours a day. The phone also features the Vertu City Brief that gives users access to detailed information on cities across the world including hotel and restaurant information.

You may think your fancy new smart phone was expensive, but it's a drop in the ocean compared to this beacon of bling -- the Vertu Constellation Quest.

Announced at a glitzy press party attended by stars like Kevin Spacey and Seal, the Constellation Quest is the latest in a line of luxury phones made by Vertu, a British-based subsidiary of Nokia. The idea is pretty simple: to create mobile phones that scream luxury, along the same lines of a Rolex or Gucci handbag.

The Constellation Quest can be thought of as a really, really, really expensive version of a Nokia phone like the E72 or E63. Functionally, it works in much the same way -- it's the materials and care that have gone into making the hellishly expensive handset that give it its jaw-dropping price.

If you have a few thousand pounds to spare, there are three variants of the Constellation Quest you can pick up. For cheapskates, there's a £5,000 version made from brushed stainless steel and black leather. This is available in black or silver.


The £5,900 version is made with polished stainless steel and has some incredibly flash sapphire keys. You can get this in black, or pink leather for those Paris Hilton protégés out there. The most expensive of the handsets comes in at an incredible £17,300, and for that you get yellow gold instead of steel. There are more versions in the pipeline, we're told.
The actual specs of the device are unclear, however we did spot a camera with LED flash, two touch-sensitive buttons and a colour display. It also includes a proper analogue clock, which you think would have added another couple of zeroes to the cost, considering the price of designer watches. In saying that, this phone is less about the hardware and more about the fine materials and precious time that went into its creation.

"Our new smart phone represents the pinnacle of our 12-year history," said Hutch Hutchison, head of concept creation and design at Vertu. "Over the years we have mastered the use of fantastic materials, but now we are incorporating that with cutting-edge technology."
If you're rich and insane enough to buy the Constellation Quest from a Vertu boutique, you also have the option to sign up for the Vertu Concierge service -- a dedicated lifestyle manager to cater to your every whim. This service can be accessed via a dedicated key on the handset.


It looks like a practical joke, but all this is deadly serious. As Perry Oosting, president of Vertu puts it: "It's all about beauty and an emotional value. It's for people who either want to express their lifestyle, success and a higher appreciation of beautiful materials and experiences."
Or just how much cash they have.

Vertu has long established itself as the market leader in the luxury mobile industry and now the brand has taken its expertise and imagination and instilled it in the company's first smartphone – the Constellation Quest

Designed with quality of user experience at the forefront of its stylistic and software demands, the phone is an absolute pleasure to operate. Its practical and aesthetic benefits are epitomized by the home screen which is uncluttered and displays only essential items hand-picked by the customer. These may typically include email notifications, calendar appointments and selected news feeds.
Elsewhere you'll find one of the stamps of Vertu design, a beautiful analogue clock which automatically adjusts to the user's location, providing a prime example of the phone's intuitive user-friendliness. Meanwhile another obvious highlight is its support of multiple mailboxes, ensuring easy access to a host of email accounts.



The exclusive and personalized experience actually begins before a customer takes the handset home when Vertu's trained assistants configure the phone's settings to suit the buyer's personal needs. They tweak and perfect the email accounts, information feeds, social networking facilities and so on and so forth to optimize the user experience. On top of that the My Key function is also programmed, giving the customer easy access to their four most preferred applications.
Perry Oosting, President of Vertu said: "Vertu has applied its values of an authentic, tailored, luxury experience to our first smartphone, creating a handset that is as functional as it is beautiful. The launch of another new form factor reflects our ongoing engagement with our customers to deliver the products they desire."

 Vertu's service then stretches beyond the shop front and remains ever present in its customers' lives. The brand offers its clients their technical assistance 24 hours a day, headlined by a very special capability - Vertu Remote Assist. A unique asset in the mobile phone sector, if a customer isn't able to resolve an issue via instruction from Vertu's technical support team, a technician can remotely access the phone (with the user's consent) to resolve any technical queries.
