Nokia Unveils New Luxury Phone
"Luxury"??
jwbass1985 said:Oh, I dunno...I think a phone that's pleasing to the eye is something to be desired. If everyone went by your philosophy, we'd all be carrying around an old Ericsson brick.
By "Luxury", they obviously mean "style", which I have never cared about. I want a phone with performance, I don't care about how "pretty" it is...
jwbass1985 said:I get your drift. I just meant to say that I think how a handset looks or feels in your had matters. Style matters. To me, anyway.
I'm not exactly talking about "brick phones". I'm talking about great phones like the Nokia 6230, or the Motorola v400. You know...phones with great features and performance, but not as stylish like this Nokia or something like the Motorola RAZR...
A 208 x 208 pixel, 262,000-color display is way better than most Nokia Series 40 phones. The only other Nokia non-smartphone with that good a display is the just-announced 6230i.
Bluetooth, EDGE, 64 MB of memory, FM radio... I'd say it's pretty darn good, actually. What more were you expecting?
I'm just being picky. And the previous poster has it right - by luxury, they really mean style.
More than a 0.5 megapixel camera!!
At least a 2-3 megapixel.

That's where the keypad slides back into. Its not that the screen slides up alone, but the screen and keypad are one piece sliding out of the stainless steel enclosure.
The metal area is NOT where the keypad slides back into. You can view the pictures at the link below: http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,33325,00.ht ml?appId=8800
the keypad of the Nokia 8800 gracefully glides from its protective casing, revealing a hidden camera on the back.

Thank you for the removal of that hideous reply Rich!
Another thing - it looks like the microphone is on the bottom of the phone. I know some other Nokias are like that, but I prefer having the mic on the side of the phone that actually points towards your face... Like on Samsung and Motorola flips.

mmcnier is right, both slide together. i held this phone in my hand 2 days ago. it is Nokias answer to the RAZR - a nice featured phone (not amazing featured) in a stylish form to make it a "status" phone. you can have the battery cover engraved. the thing is heavy as a mofo, but thin, just a tad thicker than the RAZR.
Big Poppa said:I'll agree with that...another gaffe on Nokia's part in regards to its features straggling behind other manufacturers. But I'll be damned if the whole stainless steel ball bearing thing doesn't intrigue the hell out of me.
What more were we expecting??
More than a 0.5 megapixel camera!!
At least a 2-3 megapixel.
Word is that RF is exceptional and audio properties very good.

i guess they just got tired to having to replace the small keypad cover on the 89-- nokias... they just made it solid...
luxury? luxury looks... for sure...
it's not crap... just not like OMG it has 64 MB! it's a 262k screen!
like one poster, if it had like 3mp camera and laser light show or something=) then i'd be like OMG!! hehe
