At World Of Nokia, we try to cover most bases of Nokia whether it be handsets, services or anything else.
Vertu is a section we have never written about due to the expense of the devices but I do feel they are important to cover as they are a premium part of the whole Nokia company.
So if you own a Vertu and want to write for World Of Nokia on the devices including news and reviews just contact me at daniel@worldofnokia.co.uk and email in your Vertu device and history with Vertu and I will get back to you as soon as possible,
This could be your big chance to get your name out there and write for a fast growing up and coming website such as World Of Nokia.
I have had a Vertu Ascent RHV-3 MSS11 since new (Quite a few years now) and I have to say that it is one of the single best products I have ever owned.
I don’t say this lightly- I have owned every early adopter product over the last 10 years- Startac, 8800 etc. but they have all failed both structurally and technically every single time. I had 7 different Startac’s and 5 or 6 8800’s.
I realised that what I really wanted was a roubust, stylish and simple phone that just makes calls, stores notes and contacts etc. I took a chance on the Vertu and have to say that it is so well built and tactile that it is a pleasure to use as a result.
I have also owned most other benchmark products in other areas- watches, cars, PC’s etc. but I still rate the Vertu as far superior in terms of design and build.
I would say that its important to look at the overall cost in relation to the length of life of the product and in this case, it works out a much more reasonable purchase then you would first think.
I don’t study the new product launches as a consequence as I have absolutely no desire to change the phone on the forseeable future. I am having the leather replaced this year at a cost of some £320 but thats after 4 years- its optional as the stitching is discoloured from the dye in my trouser pockets but its not a necessity.
If you can cover the high initial cost then I would absolutely recommend one- stay with the basic models- Ascent etc. but you will not be disappointed.
I don’t use the Concierge service by the way- never have, never will. Get an Amex if you want the same service.
