The fellows with the fancy-pants over at Sybarites got their hands on a Vertu Constellation for review. If you’re just joining us, the Vertu is a luxury line of phones made by the same people who make you Nokia’s phones…Nokia. So how does this phone stack up?
Well, the Nokia S40 UI is similar to other Nokia Symbian OS phones, but is “far superior graphics wise.” The phone has a concierge button that calls Vertu’s Concierge service, kinda like OnStar for your phone. It’s also got Bluetooth, GPRS, and EDGE, which makes it fairly recent in terms of features, instead of just an old phone packaged in a pretty shell.
As a bonus, it also has WorldMate software to “keep track of flights, different time-zones and currency rates”, useful for any jet-setter that can afford a Vertu.

Just to clarify: S40 is not based on Symbian OS - S60 is. I’m sure you knew it already, but the wording was a bit misleading…

[...] The next aesthetics phone in the market is none other than the high-end Vertu meant for the minorities, meaning the rich and richer. The phone has a concierge button that gives you immediate access to Vertu’s Concierge service. As the user of the phone are definitely high-flyers and jet-setters, it comes with WorldMate software to keep track of flights, different time-zones and currency rates. Would love to get my hands on one of this one day. At least Nokia is trying to add more functions into their latest phones by introducing widgets which provide immediate access to information for everything from RSS feeds to blog posts to photo-uploading sites on their Nokia handsets. Using WidSets, a platform available for Java MIDP 2.0 phones and is completely manufacturer and browser independent, Nokia has filled the library with a rather large variety of options to add to your phone. With this new feature, the use of Mobile Internet will be easier as only relevant information will be presented on the phone compared to browsing wapsites on the small screens of the phone. [...]
