Luxury mobile phone brand Vertu, has revealed that it will begin offering mobile services in Japan. Vertu is owned by Finnish cellphone giant Nokia.The Finnish company will become a so-called Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), thus becoming the first mobile phone maker to encroach on the Japanese service provider domain.
Vertu is known for making expensive, handcrafted handsets that are often embellished with titanium, gold, jewels and crystal.
Vertu's MVNO service will be hosted by Nokia Siemens Networks from its Singapore hosting centre which is capable of servicing customers throughout the Asia Pacific region.
It was last November when Nokia pulled out of the Japanese market due to disappointing sales, but chose to leave its high-end Vertu brand in the country.
