Red alert Nokia's spin-off luxury line, Vertu, has launched the Bordeaux Stainless Steel Phone (below), the first coloured mobile phone in its Signature Collection. Like the other Vertu models, it features an 'ultra hard ceramic' exterior with scratch-resistant, sapphire crystal details and a discreet side button that connects users to the 'Vertu Concierge Service', a personal-assistance desk that provides users with access to hotels, restaurants and members clubs 24 hours a day. Prices start at $42,000. With the option of having the shell crafted in hefty stainless steel, 18-carat gold or solid platinum, who needs a gym membership when you can work those biceps making calls every day?
