Vertu Ascent Ti Neon will sell for £6000

As we all know there are numerous variants of the existing Vertu Models. So were we really expecting this, it’s a bit hard to get worked up when Nokia decides to refinish one of it’s most expensive models in another shade of ostrich.

That’s a bit unfair really as there are a few differences with the new Ascent Ti Neon, its been reshaped so it fits better into a purse. The leather bits have been replaced by rubber and of course its neon.
Its basically the same phone as any other Ascent Ti on the market.

This is due to hit our shelves in October and has supposedly been designed with women in mind. Not just any women extremely wealthy well to do women. The phone is said to set you back a mere £6000 that’s about $9,900 when it gets here in October. Source - engadgetmobile.com

Nokia’s Vertu Launches Ascent Ti Carbon-Fiber Mobile Phones

Nokia’s luxurious Vertu series of mobile phones has been expanded with a new range of high-end Ascent models grouped under the Ti Carbon-Fiber collection. Continuing to lead the way with the application of innovative materials used on some of the world's most exclusive mobile phones, the latest Vertu Ascent Ti Carbon-Fiber mobile phones feature—you guessed it—lightweight carbon-fiber for their outer casing.

The collection includes the actual Ascent Ti Carbon-Fiber Limited Edition handset, as well as three different grips made from either pure carbon-fiber, carbon-fiber and aluminum, or carbon-fiber and copper.

Handcrafted in England, the carbon-fiber used for the handsets has been repeatedly tested to ensure the optimum amount of fibers and resin, which are then processed together to achieve a flawless uniform look on both the flat and curved parts of the handset.

The diagonal rib appearance of each phone is achieved using a twill carbon-fiber weave process resulting in a modern look whilst the actual carbon-fiber used has been tailor-made in the smallest 1k weave width to create a clean pattern profile. As with all Vertu's a number of other high-quality materials are used, including titanium for parts of the exterior and sapphire for the screen.

The handsets go on sale later this month with pricing available upon request.
