The Vertu Signature became popular with celebrity: Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Tom Ford and David Beckham all own them, but for mere mortals, even ones who drive Mercedes-Benzes and own plasma TVs, the price tag (from $5,750 to $26,550) could be daunting. While Signature remains its flagship, Vertu is launching Ascent on April 2004 a model with styling and price a wee bit closer to Planet Earth.
