Vertu does it again, crafts second Ferrari phone for $25K

See, here’s the thing about Vertu phones: anyone who’s wealthy enough to afford one probably wants (and can afford) more than one, probably doesn’t care about newfangled goodies like 3G or a large, high resolution display, and probably keeps a Ferrari or two in the garage. On that note we give you the “Ascent Ferrari 60,” the Nokia division’s second Ferrari-themed handset. Unlike the first — which happened to also be an Ascent — the Ferrari 60 features a shift gate on its posterior instead of a brake pedal, which clearly makes it worth the €18,000 (about $25,370) asking price. Of course, that hefty cost of admission also nets you an elaborately fashioned storage box, a Vertu Aerius headset, and an actual valve out of a Ferrari F1 car, so the 60 lucky sons of guns that grab this thing are in for a treat (if valves and outdated Bluetooth headsets are your thing). Check it out at Nokia’s London, Paris, Singapore, and Hong Kong locations.
