Despite what Wikipedia says, most Vertu phones sold in the past weren't smartphones (unless you consider a personal concierge a kind of Siri); they were powered by Nokia's Series 40 firmware and had tiny 2" screens much like more mainstream Series 40 business phones, albeit covered with protective bling like sapphire glass. Apparently they still promote those on Vertu.com under the name Ascent. Nokia had just started transitioning Vertu phones to modern, touch-enabled Symbian with Constellation phones when they sold their Vertu arm to EQT.
