Vertu has launched the Ascent Ti in the country.

A quad-band 3G handset with a 3 mega pixels camera with flash, the Ascent Ti is positioned as a very high-end phone.

The Ascent series is characterized by the influence of the power, energy, and sheer precision of a beautiful car. Ascent Ti, made in England, takes this to the next level with greater design detail, better materials, improved peformance, etc.

The way a sleek car might epitomize the 'boys and their toys' maxim, the exterior and interior of the Ascent Ti reminds you of the same.

The 'Ti' stands for Titanium, a non-corrosive metal with the highest strength-to-weight ratio, plus the ability to withstand extreme temperatures.

The Ascent Ti comes in three colors: Black- or Red- leather with a Black ceramic pillow, or Brown with a Silver ceramic pillow. The phone has a scratch-resistant Sapphire crystal face made of the same material that is used for the camera lens.

The phone has a S40 interface, and applications including 'Vertu Fortress' technology that allows remote synchronization of contacts, calendar, notes, etc, and backs-up all stored data to a high security server maintained in an ex-military bunker at a secure location in the English countryside.

Customers can access private data via a personal account on vertu.com. In case they ever lose the phone, all data would be quickly re-instated to a new phone.

The Vertu Ascent Ti is available for not less than Rs 3,26,000 in India.
