I'm still scratching my head over the cost $$$ of this phone? The specs aren't that great...the're much better phones out there on the market, packing loads more features and for half the price as this...Is it $500 for the metal casing and the extra for the rest of the phone...?

Like any luxury item its $500 knowing other people know you can spend $500 on a phone. Is a Rolex, Mercedes Benz, or LV purse worth it? Probably not. The cost is in the name.
Personally for a ordinary Nokia phone, I wouldn't spend $500. Vertu on the other hand... I can only wish

More reason why this phone is ridiculous. PLUS T-Mobile attracts the cheapest customers because they have the cheapest plans! What were they thinking?
