Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte

Nokia has just announced a new addition to the Arte series, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, which is made from carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel to exude an unprecedented level of class and finesse.

The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, is a slight upgrade to the existing 8800 Arte comes with a useful memory upgrade, now featuring 4GB of internal memory. Until now, there was the original variant in black metal and the Sapphire Arte with a gem in the D-pad and genuine leather on the front and back.

The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte is priced at €1100 (around £900 or $1600) before tax and subsidy. This is a phone that will still be very expensive even if you can get a carrier discount on it.Feature-wise, the new Carbon Arte is absolutely identical to the previous two models, and the only improvement is that the integrated memory is now 4GB instead of 1GB.

The sales package includes a matching Bluetooth headset and desk stand plus a “story booklet” to tell you about the Carbon Arte’s design story.

The 8800 Carbon Arte is a 3G phone with a multimedia player, 2″ QVGA screen and a 3.2 megapixel camera. The Carbon Arte is actually quite useful as a communication device.

Custom ringtones and themes that change throughout the day complement the design of the 8800 Carbon Arte to make the whole experience very impressive. One nice touch is that the Carbon Arte comes with a special coating to help reduce fingerprints and smudges.
