Nokia's ultra-swanky luxury wing Vertu is at it again, launching another gorgeous phone that's got us thinking about giving the bank manager a call. Thing is, we don't know exactly how much the Vertu Ascent Ti Carbon Fibre actually costs, as the price is only "available upon request." Gulp.

Okay, so we don't know quite how many thousands of pounds this phone costs, but we do know a few other choice facts about it. Firstly, as the name suggests, it's packed with carbon fibre components, making it lightweight but very, very strong. In fact, Vertu claims that it includes "the optimum amount of carbon fibres and resin", allowing it to achieve "a flawless uniform look on both the flat and curved parts".

On the feature front, there's 3G, 4GB of built-in memory, a 2-inch QVGA screen and a 3.15-megapixel camera with LED flash. Nothing earth-shattering, sure - but Vertu phones have always been about prestige and luxury rather than cutting edge performance - I mean, how many other phones come with a year's free concierge service, accessed through a special button on the side?
