Vertu, the luxury brand of mobile maker Nokia, is growing fast as a result partly of geographic expansion and plans to launch in the Nordic countries.

"We are now growing in three digit numbers, mainly thanks to geographical expansion and launching new handsets," Finnish business daily Kauppalehti quoted Torres as saying in an interview.

"We sell tens of thousands of phones annually, and our goal is to reach annual sales of hundreds of thousands of phones," he said, but added that high volumes specifically were not a target for Vertu, which is based in Britain.

Vertu comes in six models with standard cell phone features including Bluetooth connectivity and multi-language predictive text input. The polished gold model (left) retails at one U.S. jewelry chain for $18,750. A Signature Standard platinum model retails for $31,850.
