Nokia 8800 Sirocco Premium Luxury Phone Announced


Tue Sep 05, 2006 12:19 pm

Nokia today unveiled its latest premium mobile phone, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition. Intuitively beautiful by design, the Sirocco's signature feature is a thumbprint, which perfectly matches the human hand. The soundtrack of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco was composed by the avant-garde musical pioneer Brian Eno, considered the "father of ambient music."

The Nokia 8800 Sirocco draws its name from the powerful desert-born wind that originates in the Sahara when a warm, dry air mass collides with the cooler, maritime air of the Mediterrean. The organic shape of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco references the strength of the human form, a concept further implied by stainless steel polished surfaces and a scratch-resistant glass display window. Like its namesake, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco consists of two variants - light and dark, the light inspired by the hot, dry air mass, the dark by the cooler, humid one.

And as it blows, the powerful sirocco makes its own unique sound - a composition from nature caused by two air masses colliding. With nature as his inspiration, Brian Eno, the world renowned music composer and ambient music innovator, has created a unique 'sonic texture' that is organic, calm and highly evolved. It has an otherworldly feel - comprised of notes created by instruments that Eno has selected and 'synthesized' himself.

The stainless steel case of the Sirocco is treated in such a way as to give the device a unique feel. Functionality is created through craftsmanship, using techniques drawn from master watchmakers and jewellers. From the sapphire coating of the 262K-color display to the distinctive slide mechanism which reveals its 2.0-megapixel camera, or even its extended battery life, every minor detail of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco is honed.

The Nokia 8800 Sirocco also features a complementary Bluetooth headset. This wireless earpiece is also composed of stainless steel, and perfectly matches the nature-inspired Nokia 8800 Sirocco.

The Nokia 8800 Sirocco is now available in select markets, with an estimated retail price of EUR 1000, before taxes or subsidies.

Technical highlights:
- Exclusive sounds in AAC quality, made by Brian Eno
- Premium User Interface - Look and feel
- 2.0-Megapixel Camera
- High-quality stainless steel metal covers for superior durability
