Android-powered Vertu Ti (RM-828V) leaked all over, just needs a diamond-studded price tag

[![Androidpowered Vertu Ti RM828V](http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/vertu-ti-rm-828v.jpg) ](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/30/vertu-ti-rm-828v-leak/)

Shortly after the [latest rumor](http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/30/next-vertu-phone-rumor/) that [Vertu's](http://engadget.com/tag/vertu) prepping its first-ever [Android](http://engadget.com/tag/android)-based device, eagle-eyed _Blog of Mobile_ delivered further evidence to support the claim, and it even managed to dig out what claims to be product shots of said phone. First of all, the name "Ti" and model number "RM-828V" are spotted across Bluetooth SIG, GLBenchmark and telecom regulator databases in Singapore and Macau. Having scanned through these pages we now know that the Ti will come with Android 4.0.4, an 800 x 480 display, a 1.5GHz processor, Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. _Blog of Mobile_ added that it's a Snapdragon MSM8260A SoC with WCDMA 850/900/1700/1900/2100 radio, accompanied by a rather lame 1,250mAh battery. Bluetooth SIG's page provided the following design description of the device:

> "VERTU Ti possesses the classic Vertu design DNA and characteristics - strong, unique & distinctive. The design and craftsmanship positions VERTU Ti alongside other iconic products in the luxury market."

If the above images are authentic then the Ti does indeed maintain the classic Vertu look. The only real changes we can see so far are the three new physical keys -- presumably "Back," "Home" and "Recent apps" for Android. If all goes well, we should see this wallet-busting gadget at MWC next month, so start saving up now.
