It's not everyday you can justify spending $25,000 on a cell phone. Come to think of it, can you justify that... ever??? Regardless, Vertu (luxury unit of Nokia) has collaborated with Ferrari once again to give us one of the most outrageously expensive luxury mobile phones in the history of the world: the Ascent Ferrari 60.
But what exactly is so fancy about this phone? At first glance, it doesn't appear to be that remarkable, besides the very obvious Ferrari logo. However, it is made of titanium and uses the same screws as used on Ferrari automobiles, as well as the same leather used on the seats of the car. Umm that still isn't worth 25,000 bones. Scarcity is certainly one factor in pricing, as there are only 60 of them being manufactured. Plus you're gonna have to travel to London, Paris, Hong Kong or Singapore if you want it.
Don't bother with this phone if you are concerned with technology, however, because that's not what Vertu is about. It's got the basics - tri-band phone with bluetooth, voice dialing, GPRS, MMS and SMS. Beyond that.... eh. Nada. It's got nothing!! It's the Paris Hilton of cell phones.... worth a lot of money, but empty on the inside. Zing!

for 25K,it's better be made out of Gold. Quite an ugly phone,I might add.

For that price, it better be able to at least transform into a car that I can drive, then transform back into a cellphone when I'm done

All of you must understand something. People who buy this sorta thing get more much more than $25K from interest alone. So, call them idiot but they just run out of ideas on how to spend their money...:)
