Did you anyone see this? Would you buy it?

=================================================
Watchmaker Tag Heuer today announced its Vertu wannabe, the Meridiist. Like others in its class, its high price doesn't seem to justify the goods, unless you count a choice of crocodile, leather or rubber, a sapphire crystal main screen and a famous name. The specs are almost entirely unimpressive: 1.9" QVGA main screen, monochrome OLED on its outer rim, 2-megapixel camera, MP3/AAC/MPEG-4 playback. There's no mention of 3G functionality, so I'm going to guess it can only do GSM/GPRS, and though the 7-hour talk time is pleasantly above average, it had better have something to brag about besides style for the price, which will range from about $5300 to $6100.

Good lord, what a waste of money...

Honestly, I cannot understand what this obsession with phones are these days. I treat mine as a tool for convenience and do not see how someone attaches a "status image" to it.

I would not spend 10 dollars on that thing. And considering that it's an old phone with even older technology, that's about all that it is worth.

Hhhhmmm, let me think,.....................NO

I would never spend that kind of cash on a cell phone. That's Rolex money!!!

I would never spend that much on a phone (hopefully) but the idea is awesome! I love the croc skin on the back, very interesting concept!

Must admit I am a luddite when it comes to phones. My ideal phone would be one that makes phone calls and nothing else. But then again there are folks who get a kick out of them and think it sensless to buy a watch..Horses for courses I guess
