Ring in the changes

Following the success of the Ascent Pink launched this spring, Vertu has come up with a new mobile phone for the winter, the Ascent White (pictured; $37,000). The new phone is sleek, feminine and features hand-stitched white leather. It is tri-band, which enables roaming across Europe, Asia (excluding Japan and South Korea) and the United States, features Bluetooth and allows up to 1,000 contacts and 900 calendar notes. Vertu Ascent White is available at Lane Crawford, Times Square, Causeway Bay; Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui; and IFC Mall, Central. Inquiries: 2118 3388.
