Nokia's Vertu Ascent, finally in pink

Alright, we just don't have the energy for the usual tirade against pink gadgets. Instead, we'll rip on the embossed leather and crocodile print of Nokia's Vertu Ascent luxury phone, now in pink for you'll never guess which marketing segment. We'll also have a good giggle at the strip of polished keys, the matching ceramic pillow (wtf?), the soft pink backlighting, the matching pink holster and the special pink package. The tri-band phone has Bluetooth and voice dialing functionality, and… that's about it. Apparently it was so difficult to work all that pink in there they had to cut some corners in the features department as a result. It'll be out this spring/summer, and will be "expensive."

I think I saw this model (albeit not in pink - was yellow) in Hongkong a couple of weeks ago. Was something like 45000 HKD, which equals roughly 6000 USD....You be the judge if that is value for money or not. I'll be having something else though. ;-))
