Updated: Added anti-fingerprint coasting. Typos.

Nokia announced two new handsets in the 8800 series of luxury phones. The 8800 Arte and 8800 Sapphire Arte have QVGA OLED displays and are tri-band EDGE 900 and GSM 1800/1900, but add 2100 MHz WCDMA 3G to the equation. Among the other upgrades from the Luna are a 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus, 1GB of built-in memory, Nokia's new all-in-one microUSB charging and data connector, and an anti-fingerprint coating. The Arte and Sapphire Arte also have the 8800 series living wallpaper and soundtracks, and incoming calls can be silenced by flipping the phones over on their faces. They will cost $1459 and $1677, respectively, and go on sale at the end of the year.

Interesting...

Nokia is further blurring the line between the 8000 series and its Vertu line. I wonder how that will work out for them.
