Very bling, the real thing

Betcha there would be a queue of "volunteers" to roadtest it if @Martin-O2 ; @Marjo  or @EmilieT had one with O2 and wanted a review

I'd be too scared to scratch it - gold's quite malleable at 24K.

Leave the road-test to someone with the undying urge to leave £10+K on the table in Caffè Nero. 🤣

I can see the reviews now:

member: "overall I quite liked the functions but don`t think it was worth the £2000 non-returnable fee I had to pay to review it"

@Mi-Amigo  Yes I'm not sure how many volunteers we'd get if that was the case.

There used to be the Vertu brand of phones too that were made of various precious metals, wrapped in Leather or encrusted with precious stones which would also give you one touch access to a concierge that could arrange things for you, think the cheapest phone was about 6 grand.

I think the market was quite small as they were owned by Nokia for a bit and then went private and then went bust but look to be back in business.
