I was too intimidated to do anything other than peek at the Vertus in the Frankfurt Airport back in 2006. They offered to show them to me, and I just shook my head in awe. :-P Drew - You have created a monster! But then, you knew that. ;-) If it is only $1K a year, then I am quite impressed with the concierge service's price. If money were no object... :mrgreen: And yes...the Ascent Ti. That's on both of our wish lists. ;-) questionfear – That’s the experience I get when I go into a Louis Vuitton Boutique; everyone is so nice that if you have the money, you might just spend it. ;-) I am impressed with you, though.

I believe its around $1k a year.. Right.. AND its an international LD call to the UK.. The one button is just a dial to a +44 number.. :-( Serious lust for the Ascent Ti, the latest model.. :-)) Okay I’m embarassed.. :-)

I walked in and said that I'd seen pictures online of them, and that I couldn't believe a phone commands that price tag. IMMEDIATELY the saleswoman said, "Oh great, you know the brand! Here, check out this one, Terri Hatcher has it" and started whipping phones out of the case for us to fondle. What impressed me is that it was obvious we were window shopping and neither of us was dropping several k on a phone, but they still let us play with them and chat about them. The salespeople obviously knew what they were talking about, and they were quite pleased that I knew the brand, and that was enough to let me hold one. (And having held one: If I didn't want/need a smartphone, and I had the cash, I'd absolutely buy one. I could not believe how good they felt in my hands.)
