The Vertu Ascent X phone comes with a 2-inch TFT display with QVGA resolution, 32GB of internal memory, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and a 5MP autofocus camera with LED flash. This luxury phone has feature email client (SMTP/POP3/IMAP4), Auto Dual time clock update and City Briefs.

Vertu ASCENT X is provides dual mode, WCDMA Quad band (2100/1900/850/800 MHz) and GSM Quad band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) networks, which can be used almost in worldwide. It also supports for HSDPA/HSUPA that offers High Speed download and upload.

Vertu, part of Nokia has launched their special edition luxury phone in Japan, the new limited edition Vertu phone. They are Vertu Kinko, Vertu Kikusui, Vertu Nanten, and Vertu Daigo phones. All of them are representing four seasons in Japan with each Vertu’s handset has a specific textures with dressed in gold and hand-painted.

The Vertu Kinko, Vertu Kikusui, Vertu Nanten and Vertu Daigo phones are sale with each price of 20 million yen (around $215,800) and including free domestic calls (in Japan). The four versions of golden Vertu phones are dedicated to celebrate one year of existence Vertu’s flagship in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan.

According to Vertu, there are super-limited editions which are only four units of this phone made.

Nokia’s luxury division Vertu has something new rolled up under its sleeves. The Ascent X is a quad band GSM device (although only 850 and 1900 bands were tested for the FCC) and WCDMA bands II and V. Not much details are available as of now but unlike other Vertu phones this one comes with a 24 hour concierge service as well. The Ascent X will be available in metal and leather finish.

You might think you’re hot stuff for carrying around a new Vertu Constellation Ayxta, but this is America, bub — and your blinged-up Nokia has to kick it at the FCC just like everyone else. Of course, without that fancy always-on-call Concierge service and Vertu Select, all you’re really looking at here is a pretty anonymous featurephone wrapped up in high-end garb, but you’re not spending your $10,500 on features here — you’re spending it because you’re too lazy and rich to buy something good.

Vertu’s not known for making cut rate electronics, so this is probably the closest it’ll ever come. The company’s just unveiled its latest flip phone, the Constellation Ayxta. The Ayxta is aimed at citizens of the world who are looking for a “high quality product to assist in maintaining their standard of living wherever they may be,” — i.e., lazy people who’d rather throw money at something than figure out what to do on their own on a Friday night in Vienna. We can sympathize — sort of. To that end, the handset will be kitted with all manner of awesomeness, including Vertu’s own Concierge service which puts you on the line with a customer service representative directly — no hold required. Users will also get access to Vertu Select — which, as we said before, will help you out and tell you where all the cool people are in whatever one horse town you happen to be in at the moment. It’s got 3G and a micros SD slot for up to 8GB of storage, plus a 3.0 megapixel cam with integrated flash (which is always nice), but other than that it’s pretty unimpressive. The Constellation Ayxta is available in Europe now, and for a very affordable €4,900 to €6,500 — somewhere in the neighborhood of $7,000 – $10,500.

Vertu has a new line-up of luxury devices. It’s called Ascent Ti Carbon Fibre collection, and is set to start selling in August. As usual, it’s not the specs you buy with Vertu — after all it’s a mid-range phone with 3.2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, music player and 4GB of internal memory — but some luxury look and feel, this time featuring “the intricate Carbon Fibre components.”

Apparently, all phones from the collection have been handcrafted in England, and repeatedly tested to “ensure the optimum amount of fibres and resin and processed together to achieve a flawless uniform look on both the flat and curved parts.”

Four models are included in collection: Ascent Ti Carbon Fibre Limited Edition, Carbon Fibre Grip, Carbon Fibre & Copper Grip, and Carbon Fibre & Aluminium Grip. Price is available upon request, and since there’s no chance we’re going to buy one, we haven’t asked.

Company Vertu, a Nokia unit, which specializes in the production of premium-class phones, introduced a new collection of Constellation Vivre. The cost of phones in this series range from $ 10 000 to $ 40 000.
