Nokia’s 8800 Carbon Arte takes luxury to the moon
Filed under: Cellphones
Besides the RAZR, few handsets have milked longevity like Nokia’s 8800 slider — first introduced in April 2005. Unlike RAZR, however, the 8800 somehow manages not to annoy… too much. The latest Carbon Arte model brings 3G, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 4GB of flash memory, and OLED display with anti-fingerprint coating. Fine, but it’s the rocket-esque carbon fibre, titanium, and stainless steel materials that help push the price tag to €1,100 (that’s about $1,600) before taxes and of course, carrier subsidies. Expected to brazenly appear in the smoking dens of Europe’s finest gentlemen’s clubs sometime in Q3.
