Nokia today introduced its 8800 Carbon Arte, a premium mobile phone engineered from carbon fiber, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel.
Keeping with the Nokia 8800 Arte range, the 8800 Carbon Arte has a minimalistic and seamless surfaces, slide mechanism and lightweight feel. Crafted from an ultra light and strong material, it reflects 3D patterns, a modern feel and unique tones, textures and sculpted shapes.The 8800 Carbon Arte offers the unique tap-for-time feature. Consumers can tap the steel surface below the display twice and a clock appears on the screen. Background images organically change during the day, giving a unique appearance to the display. The turn-to-mute silencing mechanism lets users silence incoming calls in a discrete manner by turning the phone over, screen-side down. In addition to 3G capabilities, the 8800 Carbon Arte has a 3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera, high-quality audio, and a vivid OLED screen. Nokia's anti-fingerprint coating reduces smudges on metal and glass and unsightly outer seams are hidden by a unique all-in-one micro-USB connector. The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte will be available in the 3rd quarter of 2008 with an estimated retail price of $1,600 USD (EUR 1,100). It comes with accessories such as a Bluetooth touch-sensitive volume control headset, a desk stand and a leather carrying case. - Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte Specs
