The list price in the US was $7k and I was in a shop in Sydney downtown and they wanted $8.9k AUD. I told them I would buy if they could match the US price which they did.. Hence the $8k AUD.. AUD rates against the USD have reversed in a staggering way since then and I don't know what the list on a Vertu in AU is anymore but am sure its above $8.9 now. A magpie and his money are soon parted.. :-) Well.. The list price in the US was $7k and I was in a shop in Sydney downtown and they wanted $8.9k AUD.

For $300K...?! Oh, I can think of so many things I would rather have for that money. And then you have to wonder how rich someone would have to be so that spending $300K on a phone wouldn't seem silly. It's mind boggling. ;-) @breley – I can’t even imagine a $100,000 phone; Kevin and I were agape, looking at those in Las Vegas. For $300K…?!

But $8,000 and it's little more than a regular phone! Inconceivable!
