Two New Nokia Gems Convey Sophistication and Style in 3G
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today unveiled a premium pair of handsets
aimed at the most discerning and style-conscious consumers. The new
Nokia 8800 Arte and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte bring 3G capabilities to
the highly acclaimed Nokia 8800 series which features an elegant and
sophisticated design theme that takes inspiration from nature and
sets it apart from the crowd. The Nokia 8800 Arte will start shipping
in the fourth quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of 1000
EUR before taxes and subsidies. The Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte will
follow in the first quarter of 2008 and retail for approximately 1150
EUR before taxes and subsidies.
"These two new handsets set the benchmark for quality and
craftsmanship," says Heikki Norta, Senior Vice President, Mobile
Phones, Nokia. "The high-end materials and seamless surfaces are
pleasing to touch while the sophisticated, minimalistic design is
equally satisfying to the eyes. An obsessive attention to detail
means that the Nokia 8800 Arte and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte are
engineered to last."
The Nokia 8800 Arte and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte combine elegant
appearance and uncompromised functionality. On the surface, the
seamless metal and glass body gives the Nokia 8800 Arte and Nokia
8800 Sapphire Arte an incomparable sense of style, while under the
skin their hearts are driven by pure innovation. By tapping the steel
surface below the display, an analogue clock appears - indicating
time in its most classic form. Incoming calls on a Nokia Arte handset
can be silenced gracefully with the "turn-to-mute" feature - allowing
owners to quiet their phone inconspicuously by simply turning over
the phone, screen-side down. Other state-of-the-art features include:
Stunning 2.0" QVGA 240x320 pixels, OLED display with up to 16
million colors
3.2 megapixel auto focus camera with 8x digital zoom
3G capabilities
1 GB built in memory space
MicroUSB all-in-one-connector
Anti-fingerprint coating on metal and glass
Both the Nokia 8800 Arte and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte feature a
high-end metal and glass composition, creating their classic, iconic
style. A smooth slide mechanism - comprised of state-of-the art ball
bearings and a unique spring mechanism - ensures each handset is a
pleasure to touch and behold. The Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte adds to
the sense of exclusivity by further enhancing its polished steel case
with a genuine sapphire gem stone and an accent of soft leather,
creating an even more rich, sensual feel.
Continuing a tradition of incorporating exclusive soundtracks in its
premium handsets, Nokia has invited the internationally-acclaimed
master producers Kruder & Dorfmeister to add their standout musical
style by creating a unique compilation for these new devices. Owners
of the Nokia 8800 Arte and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte will be able to
enjoy an exclusive videotrack and soundtrack composed by Kruder &
Dorfmeister with visuals by Fritz Fitzke - adding an extra touch of
sophistication and individuality to both handsets.
Each handset comes with an assortment of mobile accessories that
further complement the exquisite experience of the Nokia 8800 Arte
and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte. This includes the elegantly designed
Nokia BH-803 Bluetooth headset with Active Noise Cancellation and
touch sensitive volume adjustment. To add an element of
sophistication and security, each handset comes with a leather pouch
with a linen-lining and a separate matching desk stand.
