Diamonds highlight an already simple, clean and sophisticated design, according to Thomas Heyerdahl. Limited to 100 individually-numbered copies, the 8800 Diamond is covered with 112 United Nations-approved diamonds, totaling 0.7 carats.

It features a high-end metal and glass composition and smooth slide mechanism - comprised of state-of-the art ball bearings and a unique spring mechanism. A 2.0-inch QVGA 240 x 320 px, OLED display with up to 16 million colors, 3.2-megapixel auto focus camera with 8x digital zoom, 3G capabilities and 1GB built in memory space are all standard.

The Nokia 8800 Diamond will be sold in Canada, priced at $6000 USD, at selected Nokia distributors and Heyerdahl stores starting this June.
