Nokia subsidiary Vertu recently announced a new addition to their ultra-luxury line of GSM mobile phones called the Ascent collection. These devices are made from hand-sewn leather, stainless steel, ceramic and sapphire materials including jewelled bearings, thus providing a welcome relief from the usual poly-carbonate and ABS plastic blends used in most phones. The price of $3,850 (which seems to include the Vertu Concierge service) is lower than the Signature line at about $26,000.
