UPDATE

New version of rep Ascent Ti have just been released!

Same "case" quality - body, leather etc but now with better main joystick - shorter and wider like in gen.

I have one on the way, will post pics once it arrives!

Looks fantastic, great job for organising this - just wish I hadn't wasted the last few months doing work abroad rather then spending it on here would have been more useful and would have had the vertu by now

[Guest Sql_pl]

I guess it's better that you are getting one now - you will get an updated joystick!

BTW here is a pic of an updated model:

Looks great, any other noticeable updates then the older model or just the one ? Hoping they fixed some of the menu in-consistincies mentioned in the previous threads not that it really matters

[Guest Sql_pl]

Yeah, right.

And you can probably get WM9 Sub for $50 then?

[Vlad1980]

Did anyone get one of these?

[Guest Sql_pl]

Oh, now I finally know why you mentioned $175.00

I am sorry but it is NOT the quality that members can get with my help. The one you pictured is from another factory, I can list the differences/flaws if you wish.

And BTW - how did the $175 magically transformed into $320 in the meantime?

Anyway I think this is good for comparison for people who are interested in a Vertu Ascent Ti Rep.

Excuse my ignorance. No idea that Phones were being repped!

Regarding this rep Vertu. Is it based on a Sony/Nokia etc? Do all the various functions Bluetooth, Camera etc all work as well?

[Guest Sql_pl]

It is based on some CECT company hardware inside.

Of course it has a working camera, bluetooth and everything else.

Read some of the other posts which details what functions are available as well as some IMEIs being blacklisted (but I think someone found a way around this).

The Vertu range is owned by Nokia and uses Symbian I believe. The rep uses a Chinese-made OS which is different in some instances. And of course the "concierge" button won't behave the same way as it is a rep. Do not expect the same experience to the genuine - it is after all a rep, and they have to cut costs to be able to produce these at a cheaper price (eg. lower megapixel camera etc). Don't forget the genuine hardly has the most fully-featured functionality, but then purchasers of the genuine have no need for GPS as they have a driver for that

Think of it like the PAM212 which is a great rep but not perfect - it doesn't replicate the flyback functionality, but it doesn't stop fans purchasing it. This rep will be close looks-wise, and it seems many purchasers have been happy.

Personally, the biggest worry would be radiation emissions, exploding China-made batteries (I would buy a genuine battery if I got the rep just in case!)... and general lack of QC could have more effects healthwise than a rep watch could.

sql_pl puts his money where his mouth is - I believe this is his regular phone, so if you like it, and it's good enough for him, you'll probably be happy too

Hope I am not stepping on mods toes here but feel that I need to forward the info I just got from the dealer.

In order to sell his stock before new year he offers new price on these Vertu Ascent Ti phones, but only 6 pieces (that's what he he has in stock) and only if bought till december 31st.

New price is $359.00 shipped.

Quite a deal I think if someone is interested.

Thanks!

I'm interested in one in brown.

Do they definitely work in the US.

Let me know,

Thanks

[alinghi]

I am interested!

pm sent!

is the rep made out of titanium with a sapphire crystal?

the only reason these phones are kind of cool IMO is their durability.

otherwise they look like the old nokias that you can buy for $30.

(in other words if im giving up my iphone or palm treo i want it to be indestructible)
