Vertu Suave phone is shoe-like, golden

That Vertu makes tasteless bling-phones for trailer park lottery winners is not in any doubt, but its latest concept phone has a refreshing and unusual look.

Designed by Christopher Tak Cheung Yue, the heptagonal "Vertu Suave" is aimed at the ladies and comes in gold, titanium or sheepskin. And when the powerball millions run out, you can use it as a trowel.

This shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but isn't it bent the wrong way? Since, last i checked, my face was convex, this seems like it would be really uncomfortable.

Looks a bit like the Wasp T12 speechtool.

What is it with hugely expensive stuff and flugliness? Gold alloy wheels, horrible fashion designer bags and now this?

Truly a masterpiece of ocular horror.

If Klingons had tricorders, they'd look like this.

@1: maybe it's convex for the shoulder? So you can rest your phone on your shoulder while talking about how to invest your millions?

Looks to me like drawings of parameciums from old biology textbooks.
