Audio
Blasting the Vertu Signature's unique sound is a 20 mm AKG speaker and
Yamaha sound system. Hidden behind the back plating, a specially designed
acoustic cavity projects robust tonal qualities for superior high-fidelity
audio through a Vertu logo V-shaped speaker hole.
As sound waves bounce back and forth within the cavity walls increasing
in intensity, tones similar to musical instruments (not heard from standard
mobile devices) can be created, ranging in concentration as well as pitch.
The Signature comes with 17 preinstalled tones (some melodies but mostly
rings), but additional ringtones can be transferred from a PC with the supplied
data cable.
A Media Player allows users to listen to short clips, while a 5-level
equalizer lets users adjust frequency ranges. Preset levels include Pop,
Rock, Jazz, Classical, and 2 user defined settings.
Messaging
 Featuring
an angular design, the Signature's keypad offers a tactile and smooth response,
with each key supported by at least one jeweled ruby bearing.
Much like in watches, ruby bearings are used in places where friction
may wear away the underlying material. By using these bearings (which have
little value as jewelry, but has inherent hardness), major moving parts
are nearly friction-free, significantly prolonging the life of the device.
Integrating usual text messaging standards, the Signature has SMS (Short
Messaging Service) and MMS (Multimedia Message Service). Through T9 predictive
text, consumers can type easier as the Signature predicts words by using
combinations of the selected language.
