I got my Vertu Acent in brown leather about 1 month ago and love it. I used to have a O2 XDA IIs which was a phone with all the bells and whistles. I thought I wouldnt like it as it doesnt have many features. No camera, no games, no music. But what it lacks in features is makes in style. Its amazing to look at and hold. Quite heavy but then you know its down to the quality of materials.
A serious talking point whereever I go. People are amazed by it, and even more amazed when they hold. There is no logical reason to own this phone, but thats the same with any luxury items.
The concierge service is exellant. Went out a few weekends ago to Central London, 17 people in total. Called them up at 7:30 to tell them to book us a table at Maroush Knightsbridge for 8pm! Summer time in London on a Saturday night and normally the restaurants would tell you no. That place was not available for 17 people but vertu automatically booked us in another Maroush on Edgeware Road and called me back to tell me. Hows that for service!
The only down side is that the wife liked it so much she wanted one of her own. So last week I bought her the Ascent in Pink which is a special edition colour.
Starting price is £2900 which includes concierge for 1 year. I'll probably keep this for about 3 years now, and judging by the quality it will probably last! Worth every penny.

Well Peter... Having the money to buy a nice Maserati, a Yacht, a nice house at the mediteranean sea shore, why wouldn't you buy a Vertu. At least you have the best!

You really would have to be incredibly dumb to spend that much money on a technologically out of step phone as this. Hello..? Anyone in there?
If a Vertu fell over in your Porsche Cayenne, would anyone care?

hey hey hey... why are you jealous that people buy the ascent but you don't speak about those people that buy Frank Muller watches ( €1'000'000 minimum) or those who buy the new Mercedes S65 AMG? To tell you the truth, i know it's an expensive phone.
Vertu just brought out three different limited editions... Azure, Pink and White. I got the Pink Ascent for my girlfriend and guess what... SHE LOVES IT! i got my self the White Edition, really nice. Simple, but so cool. 4Gs for "a" phone, so, yeah, it is expensive, but it it worth it!

I just bought a Ascent and love my phone! Nobody uses, wap, 3g and all those crazy extras. On the vertu you can call, send sms's and for the most complicated people you can recieve and send emails. In my opinon it looks even better then the signature! Why buy a rolex when you can buy a vertu? A rolex will tell you time, but a vertu will tell you time and let you call people :)

I purchased this phone via the Chamber of Commerce on a special deal £200 off. I like the phone very much.
I have the Silverstone Limited Edition version. It reminds me of the gentlemans era of F1.
My friend Pertulia dislikes the phone altogether questioning it's relevance for the price. But I think one gains more pleasure from possesion that many things in life. I own this phone as it was available and so too was the money.
The concierge option is excellent. I used it once to test it's worth. When I went to Monte Carlo last week, my daughter Mia-Alicia used it to ask which number to place last chip on, they laughed and said put it on Even. IT DID! - She doubled her money and brought her own.
Excellent phone. Don't be ashamed to buy it and have people put you down. It makes me happy to own it, it will with you too.

If u cant afford the phone, don't get jealous with those who can afford it and said they're stupid... my own opinion, those who can afford the phone are smater than you are, because they can make money more than you !

I have a vertu ascent and ppl laugh at me for buying this phone.But when i ask them back why do you own a red arowana for the same price? Or a japanese koi for price of a Vertu signature or a high end hifi set with gold cable when a cheap japan made mini component sound the same or a film type camera with lens n flash tat cost thousands of dollars when a simple cheap digital camera only cost hundreds??? At least i know my vertu can make phonecalls and save my life 1 day in an emergency!!:-))

Are you then the first one to ever own one of these phones as well? Oh please. Do you also wait in line for the first day of the sales to get a bargin? This phone does what it says on the box. It works as a phone. If the price is high, it's because of the cost of production and it's "supply and demand". It looks like a heavy candy bar nokia phone. You can like it, hate it or be neutral, but it's a reliable phone, the acoustics are great and it has a concierge service. Great for those who need it.

hi i have the blue version of this phones it feels really good to the touch and is sturdy. the sound quality is really good, and the concierge service is awesome, i call them all the time for anything from pizza to plane tickets, and they are really friendly people, although the phone doesnt have super high end features i still love it.

Expensive is a relative term. Are you aware that there are wrist watches worth US$3.000.000? And cars worth US$12.000.000? These phones are objects of desire and nothing more. They appeal to those who can appreciate the finest things in life so stop whining about the price. If they weren't so expensive they would lose all their exclusivity. I have a black Ascent and I'm always looking forward to touching it and feeling this impecable sense of quality. If you can afford it, go for it. Forget about the features. Do you REALLY need them?

Honestly speaking this phone is a well made piece of art. just like a watch, Rolex for example (not my fav brand tho). would you laugh at ppl who wear Rolex? and...have u seen someone with good status wearing a G-shock to an event?
buy it when u need it, as for me...the time will come. :)
