Vertu's diamond-encrusted holiday lineup

You'd think for $20,000+ a pop these guys would have a little cash for designing some new models, but if you haven't already picked up yours (we have three… each), now's a perfect time to snap up a new limited-edition diamond-encrusted Vertu. The perfect $88,300 gift for that very, very, unbelievably special someone in your life—yourself, of course.

It's even more fun when you drop them :D

So i went to their website to read up on this thing and my favorite line of theirs from the website is: "Inspired by the design of classic sports cars, Vertu Ascent is as tough as it is elegant". I have yet to find anything on this phone that points to car design. Also, this phone has basically no features and when you're buying a phone which costs as much as a generously appointed Porsche 911 S, i want some damn features.

I got mine for free after a $20,000 rebate from T-Mobile. Service required.

Someone who owns one of these is gonna talk REALLY loud on it in restaurants.

I think when it said, "Inspired by the design of classic sports cars, Vertu Ascent is as tough as it is elegant" It meant the price.
