Vertu's Signature S Design is real, hits FCC
Tycoons of the world, get out your pocketbooks. Actually, wait, scratch that -- kick back, relax, and let your butler do it for you, because Vertu has a new multi-thousand dollar toy for your enjoyment. The FCC has revealed that Nokia's ultra-luxe division has finally updated its flagship Signature model to include 3G, and they've taken the opportunity to completely redesign it to make it slimmer, hotter, and presumably, pricier than ever before. The all-new Signature features quadband EDGE, HSDPA on the 850 and 2100MHz bands, and WiFi -- a Vertu first -- which means we should probably expect a fabulous browser to go with that generously-proportioned OLED display. Well, we can't, since we'll never get closer than a thick sheet of security glass to this thing -- but someone can.
Update: The phone's officially been unveiled on Vertu's site as the Signature S Design, hitting a boutique you can't get into unless you're dressed to impress near you come next month.

Wifi? Does S40 support wifi now? Or is it the rumored S60 vertu?

When I went to the Nokia Flagship store in Kamppi last year, the Vertu phone had a thicker piece of glass protecting it than there was protecting the Constitution. They couldn't stop me from drooling on it though!

So from a technology standpoint it's more or less (sans the OLED, perhaps) just like any other phone on the market, but in a strange styled case, and sold at a stupidly high price?
Pass.
