Vertu's 3G Ascent Ti hits the shops

Vertu has finally seen fit to bump one of its out of the ballpark expensive sets into the 3G world, welcome the Vertu Ascent Ti, 'bout time we say, bout time. Featuring a casing "forged" from solid titanium, a "floodlit" keypad, 4GB of internal storage -- and with the 3 megapixel autofocus cam, you'll need that space -- UMTS in the 2100Mhz range, and a design strikingly similar to all other Vertu handsets, so if you're in the market for Vertu love, now's the time to strike. We dig these handsets only because of the untouchable status the pricing scheme puts them in. Oh, and as per usual, no dollar details are listed, but they should be in the shops any day now.

[Thanks, Egor L]

That screen looks suspiciously like a Nokia home screen, is that what these handsets are really using at their core? Can anyone confirm this for sure?

100% That is the Nokia S40 interface that all Vertus use. The new S40 supports 3g, 3 megapixel cameras and Multi-Tasking.
