and brought up the service issue. The lady informed me that software updated that can be done in the Boutique, so the ones that do not include change of hardware parts, are always free of charge. When the watch needs to be sent to England for repair, then it's a different case. Very impressive phones, really classy build.
Yes they had to send the phone to England for the upgrade

"a new engine" they called it....brought the operating system up to "slow" from "interminable" and added bluetooth and a colour screen. $US1000 but without the upgrade it was nearly unusable.
I've always wondered if a Vertu phone was worth it and your review gives me good answers.
I currently own a Nokia E90 Communicator which is IMHO the best compromise between functionality and quality/finish. I spoke last year to a Vertu manager : he had two phones on him ! The first was my Nokia, for the business (e-mails/internet/agenda), the second one was a Vertu, of course. I really think that they should add more functions to the Vertu range (not everything but an easy e-mail & internet access etc).
Then I could be tempted for my next phone, who knows ?
