Vertu Constellation Ayxta Flip Phone Becomes Official [First Vertu Clamshell Mobile, the Constellation Ayxta]

Those not affected by the financial crisis, with cash on hand, who’d never use an iPhone, a BlackBerry or any of the Android smartphone that get released everyday should really consider the new Vertu Constellation Ayxta Flip Phone. More like a luxurious accessory than a mobile phone, the new Constellation Ayxta is not just an overly expensive handset (the first “flipper” in Vertu’s collection) but one that impresses with its looks.

Although we only have images to get drunk with, we managed to learn that other than looking nothing short of sleek the new Vertu Constellation Ayxta features Vertu Select — an online service with exclusive “lifestyle information” about cities (restaurants, pubs, bars, places to have fun, etc). City Brief service that gives it information about certain cities you’re visiting.

Vertu’s first clamshell mobile is rumored to come with a 3 megapixel camera (with integrated twin LED flash), a microSD card slot, a microUSB port and 3G Internet connectivity.

Priced between 4,900 and 6,500 Euros depending on its build, we’re pretty sure only the filthy rich will flock to bring a Vertu Constellation Ayxta home — which they should as the new handset is already available. Meanwhile we’re stuck with our uncool but highly functional smartphones in here, eh?
