Vertu V8

Hi,

I took the liberty, and risk perhaps, of ordering a replica one online and I'm currently awaiting the almost-ten-times-cheaper beauty - the V8, quoted at a little less than 300 bucks including shipping.

What was promised: a TFT LCD (262,000 colors); English, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Thai, Vietnamese, Melayu Languages, MP3 and MP4 player, 2.0 M camera (the original has no cameras, I know, but wtf, if I can get a 5000 bucks worth Vertu clone with a CAMERA, unlike the original, why not? hehe), and other standard stuff.

They did go a little low on the memory - 128 megs. On the other hand, if my 4Gb iPod is laced with all the music and videos I love, the fact [128 MB] seems to be an 'enlightner' rather than a drawback.

Anyway, as soon as I get my VERTU clone I'll be sure to give y'all a buzz
Meanwhile, I'd appreciate a little feedback and thoughts from you!

Peace.

I got my V8 the other week.
After having had read all the stuff written here I gotta admit that I got a little discouraged and at some point thought that I'll get a piece of junk...

..But no, what I got seems to be pretty amazing! It's like the real deal - it feels cold as it's metallic, it's heavy, as it's supposed to be and it shines!

It's damn identical to the original (though I've never held the original in my hand). Hehe, guess what, it even makes calls and receives SMS, rofl (I was scared it wouldn't). There are tons of features inside, the firmware is not original I reckon, but it's rather powerful, says CECT v. 13.0.21.8E.

The manual is Chinese or Japanese, dunno. But there is an english version on the CD that came with the phone. All accessories included I even got 2 batteries instead of just one.

I should recommend these Vertus, so far so good! And in case anything happens, I'm backed up by their 12 month warranty policy, so hey hey hey I think I just got a new phone to love and care for!
