While iPhone and BlackBerry battle it out, the top 1 per cent yawn and head straight for the Vertu Ti. With impressive specs – Android 4.0, dual-core 1.7GHz, 64GB storage, Bang & Olufsen sound – the killer app is its superior craftsmanship: the titanium casing is unbreakable, and the sapphire crystal screen can only be scratched by a pocketful of diamonds, a very real problem for the 1 per cent.
Starting at $9,600 from Bandiera Jewellers, 123 Yorkville, 416-642-8806, bandierajewellers.com.
