150 grams, but it somehow seems a lot more, probably because of the phone’s size (109 x 45.6 x 14.6 mm). I can not have a word against the use of materials, the feel quality is supreme. This consists of stainless steel and glass the other model has leather too. There are two editions, the Arte and the Sapphire I had the possibility of testing the former. Upon receipt I thought that everyone will be gazing at it, but it didn’t happen that way at all: the men in the street probably didn’t know what it is and how much does it cost. This is the first of this type of phones to reach me, so I took care of it as if my life was depending on it. The Arte is the third 8800 phone: first there was the standard edition, then in fall 2006 came the Sirocco, and now we have the latest gadget.

Besides the phone itself we find a superb quality leather case, a Bluetooth headset, and a nifty little cradle, but of course the standard accessories are here too (charger, data cable, manual, CD). We can observe on the box, that it is not everyday stuff, and accordingly the list of accessories isn’t the usual either. The test device got to me thanks to XXL GSM. Let’s say that that the luxury phone is a luxury phone because it is disgustingly expensive.
Thirdly it is assembled of quality materials, but the definition isn’t perfect here either, as in my opinion the Arte isn’t any better or more beautiful than for example the 6500 Classic, but I will detail this later on. Secondly because it is "exclusive", that is – quoting the Vocabulary of foreign words and expressions – distinguished, elegant, sole, tasteful – this is expression, however, can applied to a multitude of devices. For such a gadget we have to pay at least 600-800 Euros, which is, in my opinion, unduly much for a mobile phone, but this is the essence of luxury items.
Interesting.Īnd why is a luxury phone a luxury phone? Firstly because, like all other luxury items, its price. Of course the two handsets are not nearly the same category, but this shows one thing for sure: in Hungary a surprisingly high number of people have money for a phone with a price over 600 Euros. Nowadays I can hardly travel on the subway without seeing someone with an iPhone or a Sirocco in his hand. Nokia made a great business with its luxury phones: they are pumping out members of the 8xxx series, which are highly popular amongst users.
