Hands on with Vertu Ascent

Exclusive video:T3 gets some face time with Vertu's luxury-packed expense-o-phones.

Your phone's worth a packet, right? Not compared to these babies. Vertu's latest creation is hand crafted from steel and leather. There's even a concierge button that'll put you through to an operator ready to organise whatever you want, no matter how ridiculous.

The front's crafted from scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and Vertu say the leather-coated rear is resistant to everything from lipstick to petrol.

It's the ultimate playboy phone, and in high demand. Getting your sticky mitts on one won't be easy though - they cost a packet, and are only available from high-class shops. You won't find these cluttering up the shelves at The Link. Check out our exclusive video for a close up look.
