@PremiumWater ....Bud, this phone is not for tech savvy people. Its the quality what makes the phone makes it stand apart. And its target audience wont tink like you think. They would fly First Class, Drive Ferraris and eat with a silver spoon. £4000 is a change for tham, a fortune for others.

dawizard its a tag heuer... its not for phone geeks, i personally think it shouldnt have a camera, for technology depreciates fast. besides who takes proper photos with a camera phone anyway.

I have this phone, and I must admit, it's not for everyone. If for a second, you can get over the price, then what you have is an awesome phone. I have a Motorola Xoom tablet that does all of my heavy computing on the go. There is no need for a smartphone and a tablet, cause they do the exact same thing.

Therefore, for the price insensitive consumer, this Tag phone is a gem. And it's very non assuming. Also, it's timeless. You have to replace smartphones and tablets every year to keep up.

iPhone > Meridiist.

Watchmakers are jewelers, no more no less. A time will come when phone-technology develops enough for only aesthetic changes being possible... till then, the newest iPhone will be the best phone in the world.

Yes the smartphone that can do anything or the phone with the features that were modern almost a decade ago. It is an absolute rip off. What executive would ever own that watch?

sounds like a giant waste of money, rather get myself a 40 dollar metro phone, those things never fucking break.

@122A7 my thoughts exactly, who cares about a makeshift twitter pic ?.. this phone wasn't meant for millennial kids addicted to the web, its meant for a more older and affluent clientele... the only thing is that collectible watches retain their value, but electronic gadgets are disposable..tag heuer should have gotten rid of the 2mp cam and maybe this phone would have been more acceptable and longer lasting.

@TaYmOuR46 it costs a buttload of cash cause its assembled by hand, like their watches and has a 24hr operator slave valet at your service. other than that its a basic phone w/3g service

ps. its aimed for elite rich people that collect time pieces and golf at country clubs. The retarded price tag keeps this bitch exclusive... just like the fugly vertu phones, but at least this one is made of stainless steel and croc skin and not gold and glitter.

To Justify the price:

Showing your friends your top of the range iPhone

Vs

Showing your friend this.

it would be like buying a swiss brand name pocket watch with phone capabilities and not the other way around (buying a cell phone with a watch brand) i think everybody is getting it backwards
