Vertu Boucheron 150 – beautiful or just crippled?

Luxury mobile phones have always had controversial designs, and this is also the case with Vertu’s latest masterpiece: the Vertu Boucheron 150.

Created to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Boucheron French jewelry house, the handset does look like a Vertu, but a crippled and weird one. And if it’s beautiful or not, it’s up for you to decide.

Apparently, the phone is built out of a single piece of massive gold. Its creation is said to take more than 2.000 hours (since it’s hand made), which lead us to believe that there won’t be to many units of it around.

The handset comes in a luxury wooden case that looks like it’s made by a pirate for his treasure(s).

There are no details about the features of Vertu Boucheron 150, save for the existence of 3G connectivity.

The phone’s price was not announced, but it’s rumored to be of more than $30.000.

  • Looks like it has been run over by a car. Horrible, ugly thing that no sane person would be seen dead with. Ridiculous.
  • Ah, but it's Vertu, is made of solid gold and costs more then $30K :) So it
    might look as a perfect gift to some "new rich".

    If you'll read Russian or other press from "new capitalist countries", there
    are some crazy things that these new rich men will spend their money on.
    Provided these things are expensive enough :)
