Nokia Unveils the 8800 Sapphire Arte

Techtree News Staff, Mar 20, 2008 2320 hrs IST

The Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte makes a unique statement with its single Sapphire as center-key.

Expanding its range of premium handsets, Nokia today announced the Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte, which makes a unique statement with its single Sapphire as center-key.

Marrying elegance and high-functionality, the Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte has a high-end steel and glass composition. The sense of exclusivity is heightened by a genuine Sapphire gem stone at the center and an accent of soft brown napa leather. The phone's smooth slide mechanism comprises state-of-the-art ball bearings and a unique spring mechanism to make it a pleasure to touch and behold.

The elegantly designed handset features 3G capabilities along with a 3.2 mega pixels auto-focus camera and a stunning OLED display. It has unique tap-for-time and turn-to-mute features while living wallpapers move organically through the day to give unique on-screen decoration.

Double-tapping the steel surface below the display makes an analogue clock appear -- indicating time in its most classic form. Incoming calls can be silenced on the phone inconspicuously -- by simply turning over the phone, screen-side down. The Sapphire Arte comes with Nokia's new anti-fingerprint coating, which reduces smudges on metal and glass. Besides, unsightly outer seams are hidden with an all-in-one microUSB connector.

Nokia has created an exclusive soundtrack for the phone composed by internationally-acclaimed master producers Kruder and Dorfmeister with visuals by Fritz Fitzke.

The Nokia 880 Sapphire Arte sports a price tag of Rs 62,829.

Totally Dis-agree, Nokia has to provide a unique and worthy experience to its Premium Handsets which make them really FLAMBOYANT.
