geardiary_vertu_ascent_ti_unboxing_16-500x471I don’t know what’s more unbelievable, that someone would actually buy an $8,000 cell phone or that they would send one to Judie at Gear Diary to unbox. Either way she has posted something you will never see, a full unboxing review of the Vertu Ascent. The Vertu really is an $8,000 phone, although for the life of me I can’t see what makes it worth that much.

Check out the unboxing review and see what you think of this phone that costs this much. Maybe Vertu has a car trade-in program for the Ascent given the economic climate?

  • It isn’t even attractive! For 8 Grand does it at least go to work for you? Even in a strong economy this Phone would be an anomoly – now, it’s just plain dumb!!

  • James, did you not see that it can hold up a car? True, a fifty dollar jack can, too. But can an iPhone hold up a car? Can a Blackberry? When my Pre comes, I probably not try driving my car over it.

  • bluespapa, how many iPhones can you buy for $8k? I say go ahead and drive over them all you want.
