Guest Sql_pl Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 As I got several PMs from people who are interested but missed the first run due to holidays etc I decided to do it one more time. Same thing as last time. Vertu Ascent Ti with all the goodies + car-charger and 1 GB memory card for free. $440.00 shipped. It is a tri-band phone that works in US and Canada as well. If you are interested please PM me. Thanks Maciek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin25 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Maciek, Does you MMS or internet work? I have a feeling that it doens't work in the EU. On the Vertu website, you can get a sms... but it doesn't work... i got a message, that they have sent a message, but it doesn't arrive. Could anyone help me...?

On the Vertu website, you can get a sms... but it doesn't work... i got a message, that they have sent a message, but it doesn't arrive. Could anyone help me...? E On most phones, you will find settings for the SMS Message Center, and the MMS Access Point (APN). Both of these must be correct for your specific service provider. You can typically find these setting through the Settings, or Messages menus...but I don't know where they would be found on this phone. Maybe someone can help?

Edwin25 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 If you want to surf the web, you'll need yet another APN setting, for either Internet or WAP access. These APN's are all unique to each carrier, and can usually be entered and edited manually through a phones setting menu (on a real Symbian phone, they would be found under Menu>Tools>Setting>Connection>Access Points). Tnx Avitt... I can only edit one APN... Lets wait on more reactions E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 @Randy, I guess it is pretty early to say as I have it for like 2 weeks only but it seems to be doing fine. The case is made of real titanium, real leather and it also has an earpiece made of something that truly resembles real ceramic but I did not try to scratch it to prove if it is ceramic or not. Materials used are really good in these phones. I guess it should be as good as the real deal. @Edwin I didn't try to set up internet or MMS so far. Will look into it and find out if I can be of any help. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vric Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Can someone resume me what is so "hot" about this phone? Good looking, but I don't see why I would trade my Nokia N82 for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Martin Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 One thing I suggest if someone has contact with the manufacturer is if they can fix the issue of the Menu text being off. And also allow the awesome built in stereo speakers for a speakerphone I would REALLY like that. Maybe they can fix that stuff through a USB software update.

Chronus Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Can someone resume me what is so "hot" about this phone? Good looking, but I don't see why I would trade my Nokia N82 for this. If you use your N82 (like I do) and need the features, stick with what you have. This phone is more for the rich to show off that they are rich. I couldn't pull it off in any case... one thing with my watches, but having a fancy "expensive" phone too and no car or house? Won't quite work And with phones, I've found they get updated so often, you find yourself switching to a new one every year or so. Until I got the N82, I'd never paid for a phone before!

iceberg1459 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Didn't know you were a Playstation fan... Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... your a funny guy, too bad you dont like vertu would look good on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) your a funny guy, too bad you dont like vertu would look good on you ah not for me, 2nd phone would only go to something along the lines of 3g iPhone or Blackberry Bold, and only due to functionality... ie. being able to read RWG on a nice screen push/pull email, GPS etc etc n82 is great with the functionality and having the 5MP camera with xenon flash and carl zeiss optics - no, I don't have a standalone camera, can't afford to get a good one (ie. SLRs which are too bulky for me to drag around on a night out). Edited August 21, 2008 by Chronus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straight_six Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Ok guys, My brown and red Vertu arrived (Thanks Mac!) and they are gorgeous.

straight_six Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hello straight , some pictures of your new colours would be great wich one is better finished? cheers,peto Can't take pics right now but brown leather is a bit darker than the original but still very classy shade of brown. Red is girly, and it is for my wifey anyway. Actually, print on the keys is crisper on the red phone and kind of bold on the brown...which makes the red look better. Floodlight is kind of silly, i don't know if the original is the same but in the dark you can see the key print only at certain angle...if you look straight at it, key print is pretty much invisible...

Guest Sql_pl Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Peto - print on the keys is what you see on the buttons - numbers and symbols (1, 2, 3, # etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
