Description
The Vertu Ascent doesn't have a camera. It doesn't have a browser. Connectivity is practically nil. Did we mention it also retails for $3850? Vertu is Nokia's luxury brand of mobile phones - highly tailored to the rich and famous, designed to be simple to use, and lacking features most of us take for granted. Except for two: the first is a set of quality components (hand-sewn leather, Sapphire Crystal, LiquidMetal, jeweled key bearings), and the second is access to the Vertu Concierge, a 24 hour hotline manned by London-based advisers that can provide you with a private jet, fancy accomodations or whatever else you might need.
