Vertu's "Strawberry" and "Cream" Ascents

by Chris Ziegler, posted May 4th 2007 at 4:18PM

Frankly, we're not sure who's still buying the Vertu Ascent. Contrary to what Vertu might think, its handsets aren't timeless -- as technology plods ever forward, so must the world's phones. Alas, the company is seeing fit to roll out yet another batch of special editions of its most "mainstream" (we use that term very loosely here) model. "Strawberry" and "Cream," as one might expect, are pink and white respectively and feature perforated leather on their rears to roughly approximate the texture of a strawberry. Of course, it takes a very special kind of "rich" to afford a Vertu, so maybe existing owners are snatching these things up and putting them into some sort of ornate, wooden storage box, never to be used or seen again. To you folks, look for these newest models to grace your Vertu retailer come June.

[Thanks, James]

I have the accent. And you lames are just mad because you dont! ITs for people who can afford more than one hand held. I have a smart phone and a vertu . Why ? Because Vertus are great for TALKING. Thats why they are classic. Talking is classic ! ITs not for yall people ( the masses) who want 5,000 features in a phone for 99cents. Get over it please .

Thanks LC
