,〕 Nokia | divisions = | subsid = | homepage = (Vertu.com ) }} Vertu is a British manufacturer and retailer of luxury, handmade mobile phones established by Finnish mobile-phone manufacturer Nokia in 1998. In October 2012 Nokia sold Vertu to private equity group EQT VI for an unspecified amount,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=EQT's Current Portfolio - Vertu )〕 (rumoured to be $200 million), but retained a 10% share.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nokia will retain 10% share in Vertu )〕 By the end of 2013, the company had around 350,000 customers, and phones were on sale in 500 retail outlets, including 70 run by the company. In 2015, it was announced that EQT had sold its share of Vertu to Godin Holdings, a Hong Kong-based holding company.〔 ==Concept== According to The Economist the concept was to market phones explicitly as fashion accessories, with the idea "if you can spend $20,000 on a watch, why not on a mobile phone?". Vertu phones, or "'mobile communications instruments" are made in its factories in Church Crookham, Hampshire, England. Handsets are sold through an emphasis on craftsmanship, style and service, rather than mobile phone functions.〔 The business is based in the United Kingdom with offices in New York City, Dubai, Moscow, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Paris and Singapore. As of November 2015, Billy Crotty replaced Massimiliano Pogliani as Vertu's CEO. The business has 900 employees. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vertu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
