Vertu Ascent Ti Damascus Steel - User Reviews

  • Whats the reason behind that?

  • Instead of buying this phone, I should donate mah money for the needy...

  • ill get 300 pcs of this phone..

  • Very well said!

  • ^_^ Who cares about specifications people ... its the brand , its those diamonds , the gold that covers it up . This phone is not for "need" , its for "luxury" . If u buy a station wagon .. then its need ... If you buy a Bentley .. thats luxury.. Its status symbol . Its the same reason , why abstract paintings with wierd coloring lines & not so sensible things sell for millions . Coz they are tagged as "Artwork" And Im sure , for those who buy these phones , spending 1/10th of its price is not a big deal . It can certainly fetch them the most advanced OS phones in todays market .

  • you can put all the diamonds in your smartphone but it will never be vertu...

  • if batman had a cellphone

  • phone made for a specific market segment,customers looking for phone which has a certian status attatched to it,quality of craftmanship and exclusivity,not mass produced ,average handset - hi end technology not important

  • i should suggest u guys to buy to buy htc wildfire rather tahn this...for those who admires lifestyle n luxry i have a very good idea..they can fix a piece of rare diamond and platinum on wildfire`s body so it looks expensive...so the gossips end with smile LOL!!1

  • Life is an aspiration. Some people aspire to geeky values and some to a higher calling. That's beside the point. I'm sure this phone is so rugged it'll work on Mars and survive reentry with that kind of armour. Adam ;-)

  • Excatly

  • this mobile is very costly but the specification is not properly contact memory , memory card is very low space. .... so plz inserting this function also wifi.

  • I just got this phone as a gift from my father, belive me you all guys... it really sucks sucks...

  • has any body seen china vertu mobile it is xactly the same except the software .......... and cost around 100$ :)

  • its outstanding... if you drop it on ground.. it wont get even a scratch... guess why.... got auto air bag...awesome na

  • i bhought this phone recently....for jhust 5000 bucks... great features... every thing matches except the name 'verthu'

  • camera just so so

  • So Basically i have to sell my house and car to get 3.15 Megapixel camera and a brick that can call? =='

  • A Piece of art that is designed for those who appreciate style and quality, the price is unimportant its a lifestyle choice just like a rolls royce automobile. Those of you who run it down are the same type who stand gaping at the mouth by the site of a ferrari and take a photo of it with your cheap camera phone, well let me tell you--- the guy driving the ferrari is using a 15,000 pound mobile phone, wearing a 5000 pound designer suit and dines out in the most expensive places to eat. Its all about style but so many of you just dont get it

  • its very costly and it have nothing

  • @baboo beLieve me, i've got a vertu ascent ti ferrari, and its a big shit :D it's just snobby to have one, they aren't good at anything and nokia is shit to :P

  • for those who have not a clue software is been made from modelabs and these phones are responding to a different customer level which are looking for quality of materials durability and super fast and excellent after sales customer service

  • how can you people say vertu phones are shit...they are made by nokia...best manufacturer of the world at mobile phones....seriously you do not have a clue about what you are saying here

  • piece of art! who cares for the specs~ look the design...

  • Man these phones are shit what features do they have? My HTC HD2 puts this piece of rubbish away. Only the materials that the phone is made from give it its astonishing price tag and its design isn't very appealing either.

  • please guys don;t waste your money.don;t but vertu phone please..is not worthy.company is making fool to all of us by keeping this phone prize vey high

  • Dis fon is sumthn which everybody cant afford, U need to have poshness n style in Urself 2 have it.... luckily like some of us does!!!!!

  • You can get nything and it's better than this

  • it has daimonds but the hardware is more than 5 years old

  • good

  • oooooooooo no vertu

  • Nice ,mobile Phone....but i liked that car....

  • UGLY looks .... the design does not suit this handset. should have tried on some china handsets.

  • ahaha look at the battery time ¬_¬

  • nice phone!!! everybody is talking about money haha for some people a thousant dollar is a penny for them so i wouldnt prefer to have a phone poor people with pennys have. i like the vertu goldvish i have two of them cost a million dollar i got them for free business pressent

  • If any of you cannot affort it, please don't leave bad command on it as you never have chance to use it !!

  • To own a vertu is a statement of bad taste and snobism brought to extremes. Eny sane person who would have the chance to get one would sell it right away and spend the money on useful things. Some think that owning one is a sign of social status. It's a sign of stupidity and nothing more.

  • Say someone to give me this phone. Even if he give it for free, i wont take it.

  • I think that we can agree that phone is a statement of wealth and nothing more. I believe that it comes down to a person's character and personality( if money are not an issue) wheather to buy or not to buy this phone.

  • Vertu Concierge gives you round the clock personalized service for anything you need anywhere

  • Actually, the point of owning a Vertu is not tech nor style, it's the exclusive accessibility to Vertu Concierge. It's like a mobile butler

  • Too bad specs for the price :( I can get a sony ericsson for less of 300 euros and it's at least 10 times better than this

  • PS. and also you definitely cant imagine the level of precision and effort which has gone into making this piece of handcraft

  • hey guys, stop shouting about the looks and the price of all over-priced phones. they are for the rich folks who seek exclusivity and believe me if you are a rich guy hanging around with rich people, you will definitely need these kind of stuff since everybody around you has some sort of thing like this ;)

  • people have money, dont worry

  • that's right i wanna buy tat fone right now

  • how much is this phone?? O_o more than 20000 USD ???? O_O

  • u have to be stupid enough to invest on this phone...rather go for a sensible invstment :P

  • if the cat can not reach the meat..it says it s stinky..

  • nothing new in this phone, why so expensive and ugly

  • omg whats with all these vertu phones? they are damn ugly!!!

  • its very good phone medium price for me its look good but i"s havey

  • "I will never buy this phone! Price is too high and it looks like my remote control in my room!" I really liked that!

  • I will never buy this phone! Price is too high and it looks like my remote control in my room!

  • all of these vertu phones are overated. if you are rich, then don't waste (...) your money on this. get a palm pre, or an htc leo. better, faster, and have bigger screens with keyboards (or virtual).

  • right .. pee on it,better give the dollars in place of this phone lol!

  • LIMITED EDITION >>

  • hey all !!!!! STOP telling that u own this phone liars this phone is a limited edtion it cost 678 000 usd and they only made 100 pieces !!! so plzzzzz STOP SAYING THAT U OWN IT!!!!!!1

  • If you give me this phone, i will pee on it.

  • I just dont know why I bought this phone. It was so expensive but I realy miss my N97. This phone is so ordinary, so simple in relation to its price!

  • The shape of this thing is virtually identical to the old Sierra Wireless Voq. I've got one sitting on my desk, it looks just like this thing.

  • yeah, you hit the nail on its head

  • shape is awful

  • holy crap Damascus Steel, i want it!!

  • its suprb steel lady phone i own it n luv it :):)

  • I agree !!!

  • I'm surprised it has bluetooth

  • i think that this is ,a very nice phone albert and marija - together

  • stupid celeb phone, you know why the price is so high because there is a option on the phone that you can call and order whatever you want, if you want to fly to somwhere in the world you call and the plane is ready but you have to pay , and its much i can tell you that.

  • its a nokia brand!

  • did somebody can explain me what this phone meens and what is so special about it

  • hEy iTzz rOyalY bUddy... dO u knOw hOw Itz manUfactured!!!... jSt wAtch the video @ youtube... n itzz the gr8 ph used bY sO manY... cElbz

  • No one buys these handsets for their functionality, user-friendly interface or great reception, but these things do sell, be it with just one purpose: to flaunt just how much you have. Vertu is a British-based manufacturer and retailer of luxury mobile phones and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nokia,The Vertu handsets are unique for their supplemental Concierge feature - a 24-hour service, accessed by a single press of a dedicated button. It connects you to an operator who's there to help you with virtually anything you need.

  • can anibody tell wat kinda style or shape was that. if i bought dat hp,i'll b d new joker at work!

  • This phone is too expensive ... but just the same features with other phones. I preferred to use Blackberry or Nokia rather than this unit.

  • delete this its a duplication or an unfineshed comment

  • ya! most comments are right. What makes this phone as an attention getter is it price. . only the casing makes it expensive. For Vertu phones maker whose target is the rich and the wealthy. Make this phone unique. Since most businessmen are rich. . let us say increase its contact to 5,000 to 10,000 contacts (somewhat like a walking directory. YOU MUST KNOW THAT BUSINESSMEN NEEDS MORE CONTACTS) Increase its camera to 24 megapixeL (like the sony camera. If you are in area with so many networks. . it can accommodate triple/quadruple sim or even a satellite call. . .most of all it can store unlimited mails and messages. . .THIS WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE SOMEWHAT UNIQUE AND WORTH THE PRICE AND NOT ITS AESTHETHIC APPEARANCE. . NOKIA BE PRUDENT YOU MAKE VERTU PHONES.

  • ya! most comments are right. What makes this phone as an attention getter is it price. . only the casing makes it expensive. For Vertu phones maker whose target is the rich and the wealthy.

  • only people with no money to buy look this phone ugly.

  • Another beautiful piece of celly art by the masters of Vertu. The highest quality materials combined with world class craftsmanship. These combined with the Concierge, Fortress and 2 yr Warranty, which are unmatched by any other manufacturer make for a work of art with unparalleled service. I am saving for my very own.

  • Give just one of your choice to me. I love the craftsmanship and high quality of all materials used in this phone. I would give one a kind and loving home:)

  • That's one ugly comunication aparatus...in my oppinion.

  • I can afford this phone quite easily, but wouldn't ever. It's just completely pointless and overpriced... Go buy yourself a nice watch if you want to be lavish, phones are more than an accessory now-a-days, so I have never understood the "luxury" market. However, each to their own aye... -again.. dream on.. dream on ^_^ go on and live the remainder of yer pathetic lives ^_^

  • veertu phones are real S.hit.........of no use... i have a veertu phone.......I REGRET buyin it..... -dream on brotha @_@

  • How do you st up a ring tone on this phone? please anyone can help me out?

  • this phone only got tough body(made of fighter jet steel), not OS, otherwise the design more like modern an unthinkable shape mostly like aeroplane shape.

  • u r true about it depends upon need of everyone that someone buy fiat or ferrari... but would u like to buy a fiat at ferrari's price. consider on it.

  • From a design point of view the phone is nothing special, just a lot of V-shaped elements and a kind of retro hi-tech look that wouldn't be out of place in a Batman movie from the 60s ie. it borders on the gaudy and ugly. Couldn't afford one myself but wouldn't bother if i could. As people have said its specs look very ordinary for all the money you pay. It looks like a very obvious pitch to shallow rich people who want to show off their wealth and nothing more. That the makers can so transparently get away with selling the phone equivalent of an expensive fountain pen (I saw one for HK$500,000) says just as much about the superficial mentality of the purchasers as it does their own one-dimensional money grab.

  • mobilephone is cool..is nice

  • It's crap not because it's expensive but it's not luxury. Luxury means "the best" that most of the people aren't able to reach. This phone is not best but it's expensive so it's not reaching its goal. Think about a Ferrari with a 1600cc engine, this phone is just that....

  • PPL!!!!dont trash this phone like you`re doing...everyone has the right prefer what ever equipment they want not everyone needs a wifi conection or a high definition camera etc...why do some people buy Fiat and others Ferrari???isn`t the same?dont they run on the same roads, the same miles, the same 4 wheels???I like Vertu phones it`s a simple yet elegant phone with basic functions but with the best materials and construction...other people prefer other brands??that`s fine by me...

  • veertu phones are real S.hit.........of no use... i have a veertu phone.......I REGRET buyin it.....

  • HOLY CRAP nearly $9k on a damn cell phone, I mean the specifications of this phone aren't that great. No wlan, no video recording (3mp camera only!) and there isn't even a radio. The only reason I would ever buy this phone is because it looks very unique and great, I'm not going to lie it really looks nice.

  • In Reply to: Abu53r ReportI fundamentally disagree, people can voice their opinion about whatever they want and we do not need people like YOU telling people otherwise. Keep your opinions to yourself and learn how to converse appropriately How can you say people can "voice their opinions about whatever they like", and "keep your opinions to yourself", all in the same sentece??!?!? LMAO!!!

  • I think you would have struggled to own it as it isnt out yet... liar! None the less, nice looking phone, over priced and below standard features.

  • wth are you talkin bout? this phone is absolutley crap, the only good thing bout it is that it looks amazin- but thts it!And btw, i can afford it, and ive had it.

  • I fundamentally disagree, people can voice their opinion about whatever they want and we do not need people like YOU telling people otherwise. Keep your opinions to yourself and learn how to converse appropriately.

  • Please understand it's an electronic gadget, not a classic time piece that deserve the attention nor the price tag. To me, it's an insult to Vertu Owners because you just don't put a nokia in your collection with other high end collectables, watches, accessories.... Would you? I wouldn't. If my garage parks nothing but European cars, then why buy a domestic to lower own standard?

  • oh please!!!! there's nothin'wrong with this phone .. many like it and others don't so what big deal .. just don't trash it 'cause you cannot afford it and don't insult the ones that can .. like really ppl have some respect!!!!

  • Well i have a Kia Pride too and wouldn't change it for a Vertu lol

  • I have all the collection of this phone but one thing i don't use all of them not alot of function to play with they craftmanshp good materials on earth you can find, so expsenvie to collect, I want to give it away

  • agreed

  • you r right ooga booga. i actually have one too, not the best phone in the world doesnt really do much however i dropped it in the toilet awhile ago and it seems to work much better! strange but true. i would defintly reccomend trying it, the phone runs faster and smoother...

  • if you have this much money to buy a crap phone you should be donating to charity.

  • Best phone ever!!!!

  • As compare to Vertu phone Xfone Hansets are very Good in Price Segment and features wise which Xfone Provides, Dear User of Luxiry Phones Kindly Check it out that Site:www.xfoneinc.com Really Xfone inc. having a Good Collection of Hansets.

  • Quite expensive... alhamnya

  • Vertu Phones Are the biggest scam in all of the Technology World. Yet there are those spoiled rich people who buy them because they are a "statues symbol". Spare me that nonsense!

  • i took this fona from an old lady you know what she say? she say take it, thisah fona is bad en smelly yo! so i mean polite weh i says do not buy it, salad.

  • I can afford this phone quite easily, but wouldn't ever. It's just completely pointless and overpriced... Go buy yourself a nice watch if you want to be lavish, phones are more than an accessory now-a-days, so I have never understood the "luxury" market. However, each to their own aye...

  • I know, right? If they think it's crap, why do they even bother to click on this page. I was always disturbed by this. Now I know. They're just jealous and actually secretly dream about having this phone. Why else would they go here? Then they write tantrums at how c(s)hitty this phone is. I've observed it in other stuff. For example, my metro brother who didn't get tickets to that PussyCatDoll concert keeps ranting,screaming that those people (his friends) got tickets and he didn't. He also said that the Pussy Cat Dolls are stupid. You see, these poor people are just exhibiting some classic "feel good" behaviour. I find this shallow and pity them for being cheap.

  • jus waste of money not more than dis......

  • who cares if you're so rich ?! only rich ''STUPID'' people buy those trashy piece of crap phones to brag about their riches ... VERTU phones? big deal why? can i not live without those phones ? p.s. im not rich ...

  • Finaly, a 7500$ worthless brick with the technology of You don't just have to be rich to buy this trash, you also have to be equaly stupid! I don't see anything on this phone worth paying even 2% of it's value. It amuses me to see people who buy trash at the price of gold just to show that they have money, where as it only show's they'r hypocricy and stupidity.

  • I agree with the last person, post comments about the phone not about cost of standard of livin. The phone is nice overall

  • I've handled this phone (not own) and it's just ridiculously heavy, not the type that I will buy but can't even afford to buy because it costs like $7500 for that owner bought it. However, the sound system built in must be nice, because I can tell the different when the phone rings or play music. One other thing, it's so heavy that you can use it for self-defend weapon. :):)

  • the vertu is actually produced by nokia . the only reason y it is so expensive is that they use real metals in the body of the phone

  • Stop b**ching you all, just post your opininions about phone not about rich or any other class of people. There is no global economics conference, talk about phone

  • damascus steel? it sound familiar, some kind of steel that if used as a sword, can cut normal sword. it was a legend anyway

  • yhr vertu is a mafia phone! please note there are fake vertu on the market.The orginal are nice.and ridicklessy expensive for even the rich. when wal mart sales this phone then it will be cheaper.I would rather carry around a m300 samsung or nokia 3390 lol lol. htc puts out some nice stuff...would like to see vertu and htc claberate and even a nokia vertu and disney team up to produce a killer phone.what about air time?when will the cost be affordable???

  • Rich, huh? I doubt it. Apparently you're too poor to buy enough education to let you punctuate and capitalize properly. Your poverty is showing. Hahahahaha.

  • What makes this phone so expensive? Just the name?

  • They buy them for this: Vertu Concierge service

  • rolls royce, vertu.... i don't mean to be rude but i just don't understand "WHY" some people buy them... Yeah, i'm too poor to understand.

  • This is a jewelry with telefon function, not a real phone. Veyron is a car? Not really.

  • people... please... if you cant buy such a phone then dont, let us rich people do the job for you... it isnt my fault if im too rich for nokia... stop being jealous and stick to your trashy phones :)

  • These phones are actually nice, just expensive. Not feature rich but I would get one.

  • i dont understand what do you mean by stupid if you have the money you will buy one . even if you have a n 65 or e 75 i just got my new vertu ascenti ti ferrari its the best man

  • This stupid rich people pay you and your parents small amount of money every month to live :))) and to be able to use internet... Be happy!

  • wow! finally a real brick...

  • Judging on the design, features and perfomance, I don't think that this phone is a serious threat to the likes of iPhone 3G and Nokia N series phones and it's about time Vertu added some good features on this ridiculously expensive brick, LMFAO! XD

  • finally, a vertu with 3MP camera! love the design c",

  • i think this phone is for stupid people who are rich who can not use a sophisticated phones...:)

  • how many of my organs will i have to sell to buy this? personally i wouldn't give more than a finger nail for this. (does a finger nail classify as an organ? oh well...)

  • Nice mobile

  • jurassic features

  • Fantastic design , Full of Engineering ... If u cant buy one that dosent mean its ugly.

  • No one will expect this is very expensive phone. Just waste of money, i will rather go super high end phone

  • i like that phone

  • People who can't afford it will say........... Ugly...... Get a life guys....... Vertu is the ultimate luxury phone......... nothing beats it......

  • Nice phone but i can't afford to buy it...hope i can haf it one day...

  • This and every other "luxury" phone is just plain stupid. It costs like 100k and has as many features as FREE phones with contracts. This is just another way for people with too much money to say "oh look what I have, I bet you don't have one". Plus its truly an ugly phone. Enjoy the hole in your wallet

  • yes it is very very very ugly phone

  • I love this phone but can�t buy this Maybe someday I will buy Austin martin and Vertu But at this moment I have Kia pride Really sweet dreams ..

  • nightmare but i wouldn't mind having one lol

  • Indeed, expensive ugly phone it is.

  • ugly phone
