Nokia expands its Vertu luxury brand lineup in Japan

It was reported that Nokia is expanding its luxury lineup of Vertu phones offered in Japan via Vertu-operated MVNO by adding a Ferrari-themed Ascent TI model. The Ferrari phone is a limited edition model with just 2009 units to be sold worldwide. It is not clear how many models Nokia is planning to sell in Japan. The asking price is 1,200,000 Japanese yen or about 1,200 US dollars. It will go on sale from October 1st in Vertu's flagship store in Ginza, Tokyo. Nokia retreated from Japan's mobile phone market last year, keeping just R&D and Vertu operations. I expect it to be back in some time, say... when LTE deployment is in full swing in Japan?
