Vertu Constellation T – First Touchscreen Phone from Luxury Brand

The Constellation T will feature an 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, 32GB of onboard storage, a 3.5-inch 640 x 360 nHD(16:9) AMOLED touchscreen, and will probably run on a variant of Symbian (Anna or Belle) with a heavily-customized Vertu skin. No word on what processor will be powering the phone, but we can expect it to be carrying similar hardware to a high-end Nokia phone.

Constellation T is a dual mode WCDMA penta-band 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 MHz and GSM quad-band 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 phone. The luxurious phone is equipped with a built-in GPS receiver with A-GPS support, as well as Bluetooth version 3.0 and Wi-Fi connectivity. Other highlight of the phone include email support via SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 email client, music player and FM Radio.

As expected, Vertu Constellation T is made with exquisite materials, including sapphire, diamond and other precious metals and jewelry. Pricing on the Constellation T is as yet unknown, but potential customers should expect the price to be very high, the current top-of-the-line model sells for around $16,500. Launch is expected this month.
