FS: Vertu ascent cell phone (black leather)

[Redster]

This phone is only 6 months old, battery is like new (about 2h talk time, 180h stand-by). I still have all original packaging and with the phone you'll also get charger, data cable, and software. Earpiece came with it but I can't find it.

I've used it all over Europe and it worked flawlessly.

$3500 FIRM

You get what you pay for. $3500 is nothing for Vertu phones.

It's all hand made. It has rubies under the buttons, and has gold in them.



Rumour has it, they also make your penis bigger.

Hmmmm ....

• 3 year old technology [this model announced in 2004]
• no 850 MHz band
• no MMS
• no Bluetooth
• no camera
• no MP3

Seems like a bargain to me

"Unfortunately, “don’t judge a book by its cover” rule apply to this Ascent phone. It’s not good on the inside. It doesn’t have a camera, MP3 player, radio, or 3D gaming chip. This phone, well, like other luxurious items, is just for showing-off purpose. It’s for people who have too much money and they don’t know how else they can get rid of them. Not for people who’s looking for a real phone"

"..To the designers, that meant leaving out anything that might possibly confuse the owner, including perks commonly found in much cheaper phones like Bluetooth wireless for hands-free headsets and voice-operated systems like the one in the 2004 Acura TL, or a browser for checking e-mail, weather or movie times. You can send SMS messages, but there's no way to take and send photos and other multimedia files .."

Sorry, let me rephrase:
