Vertu phones include corundum screens. I'm not surprised they can keep that line alive in Japan.

Can the European actually make stuff that's doesn't carry a 200% price premium. Luxury watch doesn't keep time as well as Japanese watch. Luxury phones don’t make call or download data better than Japanese phones. Expensive lens aren't necessarily sharper than Japanese lens. European car isn't as reliable as Japanese cars.

It seems Europe is living on others' affection and not actual industrial output.

$5000 for a cell phone? It's insane. For one thing, you can get a decent cell phone for a few hundred bucks. For another, it increases chances you'd end up dead. In my city a guy was killed for a $200 iPod earlier this year.
