Tag Heuer Launches $6700 "Link Phone" With Wild Exterior, Android 2.2

Saturday, July 02, 2011 - by Ray Willington
When you think about a company like Tag Heuer, you're probably familiar with their watches. After all, they're a watch company. But they also do something else: phones. The company has just revealed one of the wildest, most expensive smartphones that we've ever seen, the stunning "Link Phone." It's sporting an outlandish design; something only the most loyal Tag fans are likely to appreciate. And here's something that almost no one will appreciate. A $6700 price tag. We know they're aiming at a very specific market, but OUCH!


For what it's worth, the company does include a great many extras: there's a 3.5" qHD display, 4G radio, 1080p movie recording, an NFC chip, 16GB of RAM, 1GB of memory and an exterior decorated with alligator/lizard skin, rubber, diamond accents and plenty of titanium and leather. It also ships with Android 2.2, so those familiar with Froyo may be able to sort their Gmail if they can overlook the ritzy chassis.


We highly doubt this promotional video will make you feel any more comfortable about the price, but it is actually pretty impressive.

Slight mistake, its 16gb of storage and 1gb of ram.

This phone will go great with my monocle, Rolex, and cane

It better have a 16 core processor in it for that kind of money... A perfect example of what is wrong in the world. No one needs something like this.

To own one of these, I'd have to find it where someone rich and stupid had left it.

I just imagine the person who owns this phone dropping it and cracking the screen. I bet for an even $7000 they throw in a diamond-encrusted case.

Maybe some salespeople are getting pretty excited with this smartphone from Tag.Tag's high end elegant and sporty image has been very powerful and successful It is almost impossible to resist for some.

Too bad they missed the prime graduation season ..but then again just in time for summer weddings. special aniversaies,birtdays,and back to skool.& one my personal favorites [just 'cuz]

So that steep pricedTag can be a very good thing after all.

So that is why they had to showcased it so prominently in transformers3, because they knew they were going to charge that much for it!:P

I am sure Mr Bay has two of these! Best thing about that movie is,... What Chicago is going to look like after the Dems get done with it! ...Just like Detroit :P

Wasn't that a crapstorm of weirdness!

Fact is that I don't want one. Even for free.
