i got mine also in black, wanted to do a review but had no time. anyway, mine works fine with vodafone here in germany. its a nice phone but i still prefer my nokia luna as main phone.
some important things about the phone (my very neutral point of view):
watch looks very much like the real deal at first sight but its actually not a quality phone.
-yellow flash thing is not centered and looks crap if you look closely
-keypad numbers engraved too bold
- its made of something like brass or iron, forget Ti. thats why its so heavy, too heavy imo, its 200gr but feels like half kg. ( gen is around 160g)
-side buttons were out of place and screws too rough but i fixed them.
-cheap software (but luckily gen also doesnt have much software features except fortress and congierce, you cant rep them anyway)
- leather quality not great but good enough
-floodlid may look nice but its too weak, you can barely see the numbers. i couldnt find an option in menu to make it stronger
-other than like i said, it feels very solid and heavy and an attention catcher ( anywhere around people when i put the phone on table everybody stare if it was gold bar lol)
its actually a very good rep, maybe best vertu rep avalible but ofcourse it could be much better, i use it as a second phone and fashion accesory
