As far as most of us are concerned, if we’re going to pay a lot for a phone — you know, like, $350 on contract — it had better come with the works. We’re talking a qHD display, dual-core processor, 8 megapixel camera with 1080p recording, NFC, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a 4G radio, to boot. If you’re someone who buys things made by Tag Heuer , you’ve got different priorities. The company just introduced the Link Phone, a darling clunker of a handset festooned with steel, 18K rose gold, or titanium, topped off with leather, alligator- and lizard-skin, rubber, and diamond accents — a medley that’ll set you back no less than €4,700 ($6,712). What’s that you say? You want specs ? The Link, named after the Swiss outfit’s storied watch line, runs Android 2.2 — a clear step up from its feature phone predecessor . Other ho-hum features include the 3.5-inch (800 x 480) display, 5 megapixel autofocus camera, 256MB internal memory, an 8GB memory card, 1400 mAh battery, and EDGE / HSUPA connectivity. Tag Heuer also says it’ll be particularly durable, though it’s coming up short on specifics. Somehow, though, we don’t think it will survive when we accidentally drop it in our gold-plated toilet. Update: Tag Heuer might not have the chops to build a highly spec’d phone, but it sure knows how to root one. As a tipster pointed out, if you pause the video at 1:18 you’ll see Superuser in the app menu — a telltale sign of hacking if ever there was one. Freeze frame after the break.

May 11th, 2010 admin Vertu’s not big on press releases, so you’ll have to forgive us for missing this a few weeks back — but it seems that Nokia’s little outpost of opulent, over-the-top luxury has just released an updated version of its time-tested Ascent range. The so-called Ascent 2010 features a 5 megapixel camera (up from the Ascent Ti’s 3), 8GB or 32GB of on-board storage depending on the version (up from 4GB), and quadband 3G. It also has AGPS with preloaded maps (Vertu’s carefully avoiding the plebian Ovi Maps branding here, but we’d imagine it’s more or less the same thing), a 2-inch QVGA sapphire crystal display, and a sweet chronograph display (pictured) that undoubtedly makes the phone worth every one of the thousands of dollars you shell out for it. You can pick it up now in your choice of aluminum or titanium bodies with a variety of colored leather accents from luxury retailers around the globe — and don’t forget to pack your checkbook before you hop in the Roller and head down there, obviously.

April 6th, 2010 admin Overkill, thy name is Vertu . Nokia’s luxury handset division has rarely gotten much love on these pages, but that’s mostly to do with the excessive use of “high end” materials on its phones and zeroes in its prices. Both are present and accounted for here, with the stainless steel and leather-bound Constellation Ayxta starting at somewhere around $7,500. Still, we retain a curiosity to see such exclusive devices in the glaring lights of reality, and Gear Diary has treated us to just such a treat. The handset before you can crank out 6 hours of talk time over GSM or 300 hours of standby, navigate preloaded maps over GPS, or hook you up to an instant Concierge service if you don’t feel like doing the work yourself. And why should you? Mosey on over to the source for the full unboxing gallery. Vertu Constellation Ayxta gets unboxed and admired originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:21:00 EST.
