As promised, I’m doing a review of my VERTU Signature S Replica from Lux-Replica-Phones. I ordered it last Wednesday, managing to get a very good discount of 50 USD for all my input into the VERTU replica scene. This is my second phone, the fist one being the Ascent Ti Ferrari III (click the link for the photo review).

The phone arrived yesterday. Carefully packed, no customs problems. Delivered to my office. Couldn’t wait to unpack the whole thing right away, so some of the original stickers are missing, since the photos were made later that day, in the evening.

As my first order, the VERTU Signature S came in a matte black box with two separate leather boxes inside. There are stickers, which cover up the “VERTU” engraving on both boxes, on all the accessories and the phone itself (even inside, under the battery).

The stickers come off pretty easliy...

The standard pack of accessories includes two BL-5CV VERTU Batteries, a 120-240V VERTU wall-charger, a VERTU manual (in several languages), a VERTU USB Cable and a VERTU Headset.

The phone itself is embraced in the soft internal cushion inside the separate leather box.

Ah, the precious jewel...

The phone is heavy (I’ll have to check the exact weight out when I get the chance, but I believe Lux-Replica-Phones’ specifications which state that the phone weighs in at an astounding 166 grams. The body is made of solid steel, screws are all screwed in tightly; no jottling sound from the steel keys either.

The SIM card slot pops up on top (the VERTU Signature S clone automatically turns off if you pop the SIM card slot out; in order to protect the data on it, I guess). The slot is made of steel and has got the “V” engraving on it.

Original VERTU Signature S Mechanics

The back of the phone opens with a twisting motion of the special built-in latch-key.

Opening the VERTU Signature S Replica

Inside – the Signature and a whole bunch of numbers including serial numbers, model numbers and the “MADE IN U.K” inscription proudly engraved at the bottom of the metal plating. The lid of the Signature S copy has interior metal plates with the orginal texture and the “V” shining.

Fits in perfectly...

The little LED VERTU Signature S light at in-mid the “V” adds perfecly to the “VERTU” greeting screen and sound.

VERTU...

The VERTU Signature S replica screensaver is very neat and accurate. I’ve heard of complaints about some 2006 Signature replica models that had the font go off screen, etc.

The VERTU Signature S Clock

I had a question from a certain Dare_Devil by e-mail, who asked me whether I knew what a VERTU Replica displayed when you pressed *#0000# or not. Here’s the picture of what the VERTU Signature S Replica shows when *#0000# is entered.

The Signature S Replica believes itself to be the REAL THING!

This is the main menu grid. Very stylish and VERTU-like.

I will not go into all the features of the Signature S phone, as they’re the most standard features a phone would be expected to have. There’s a great Video Player, several original VERTU Games, VERTU Services (including VERTU Select and Concierge).

Great Video Quality for a Screen of Such Dimensions

Hard Mode has got 100 pieces!

Looks great! I’m impressed.

Smoooth!

Being the owner of both the VERTU Ascent Ti Ferrari and the Signature S replicas I have to say that both phones are amazing, but the racer in me is staying true to the Ferrari replica rather than the Signature S replica. The VERTU Signature S is a phone that looks elegant, perfect, with a design that is revolutionary. The VERTU Ascent Ti Ferrari III is jam-packed with features and is rough, rugged. The Signature S phone is much more conservative, with a standard set of features for a business man, elegant, solid and very durable. The VERTU Signature S has got more fine style, while the Ferrari Ascent Ti III replica reflects its style in its aggressiveness. Both phones are really amazing and I’m really happy to be the owner of both of them. Which one is better? Can’t say, they’re very different. But being different, they have one thing in common – they’re both VERTU phones.

A piece of perfection and art in my hands..
