However, the majority continue to be more simple machines with a classical digital alphabetic keyboard functionality and phone calls. Vertu was established in 1998 and is an autonomous unit within the company Nokia. Now she was the victim desires guide Nokia to cut costs. According to The Financial Times already are negotiating with several interested groups about the sale of this business, but specific information is not reported.
