The Motorola-Ferrari partnership wasn’t at all what I expected, especially when such a well known Italian brand was used to name a very lack luster and unimpressive phone. However, put the Vertu name in place of Motorola and you know you’ll be getting one luxurious phone that’s definitely worthy of the Ferrari name.
The new Ascent Ti collection will be the lovechild of this new tandem and will feature one limited edition phone, the Nero, and two special edition models, the Rosso and Giallo. The Nero will be made of titanium, crystal sapphire pillows and coated with scratch-proof PVD. The two special edition phones will be slightly less extravagant with just the keyboard and battery cover being PVD-coated, and featuring ceramic pillows instead of crystal sapphire.
Specs for this new line are, as expected, not that impressive. Quad-band GSM/EDGE, WCDMA 2100MHz, Bluetooth, 3-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, 4GB internal memory and Ferrari-inspired themes and ringtones are standard across the board. No Wi-Fi or 3G, but hey, it does the most basic functions of a phone and looks quite good while doing it.
No word on when and how much these new phones will cost, however as Vertu phones go, expect the price to be somewhere between an “arm” and a “leg”. Only 2,009 limited-edition Neros will be produced, so if you’ve got the dough, it doesn’t get any more exclusive than this.

i think WCDMA 2100Mhz means it has 3G. WiFi is lacking but people who own a Vertu wouldn’t mind that. compare this to any top phone and this will stick out.
