Vertu 3G-handset in stores    [ 12-09-2007 17:35 ]

Author: Klimov Oleg   Source: engadget.com     Translation by: Rytchkova Anja     

Vertu-branded handsets are famous for high quality and materials applied in the casing. Given widespread 3G networks in Europe it makes a good logic for Vertu to enter the market, besides there are enough wealthy people in Europe to buy Vertu handsets.

Now Vertu Ascent Ti, a 3G phone, comes to stores. It features UMTS 2100 MHz, a 3-megapixel camera, a QVGA-screen and Series 40 platform. I’d mention 4 GB of onboard memory. Unfortunately there is no info on the price.
