Vertu, the market leader in luxury mobile phones has unveiled its first smartphone, Constellation Quest.

The phone is like E63, E71 and E72 phone with a new twist, a QWERTY keyboard. But as it bears the Vertu name and logo it will be more luxurious :)

The new luxury handset is made of either matte or polished stainless steel or 18-karat gold with a leatherback and sapphire crystal or stainless steel keys.

The home screen is uncluttered, displaying only the essentials as chosen by the customer.

These may include email notifications, calendar appointments and selected news feeds.

Also featured is a Vertu design signature – an analogue clock – which automatically adjusts to the user’s location.

Constellation Quest introduces vertu.me, a service that provides the user with a Vertu email account and effortless harmonisation of the device’s lifestyle and business tools.

Should the customer choose, the user’s emails, contacts, calendar and task information can be automatically synchronised with Vertu’s secure servers, giving the benefit of protected back up of their data.

Vertu offers the consumer complete peace of mind, as should the handset be lost, this data can be retrieved and seamlessly downloaded to a replacement phone.

The system also ensures that whenever the vertu.me account is accessed, whether from the phone, a home or office computer or via the web, this information is up to date.

Vertu Concierge has been enhanced for the launch of Constellation Quest, giving the user three different options for lifestyle assistance and enrichment.

Depending on a customer’s expected frequency of use, Vertu Concierge will suggest the service type best suited to that customer’s needs.

Vertu Concierge’s core offering across the three services is its unparalleled ability to respond to a customer’s needs and offer appropriate experiences and opportunities.

Vertu is available in over 500 stores, including over 70 Vertu boutiques, in 66 countries worldwide.
