  • I thinks it depends much on the country. In my country a full casing of Sapphire arte is 100�...arte gold is around 200�....Since you need only certain parts of the casing I think it's gonna cost you around 100-150�....Be carefull where you buy it from because the market is full of chinese clones...Good luck!....

  • and how much was the leather replacement? tnx

  • That's the problem with leather incrusted phones.....the leather oxidises! During the time mostly under the sunlight the leather looses it's colour....I had the same problem with a sapphire arte...I had to buy another back and front cover...!

  • Hey all! This is a very loevely phone, but I'm having a problem with it: how do I clean the white leather it seems as if the color has faded to black (and I know the color has changed and that it isd not just dirty). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tnx :)

  • I bought the gold arte two days ago for about $1500. It's a very very gorgeous phone. However I do admit that it is very expensive (but that's what adds to its exclusivity). The rolex of cell phones...

  • have the sirocco 8800, previous 1 and is just great. cant wait to get this 1. already know how sick it is.

  • i bought it and i use it it has problem in memory after 2years and 4gb chage to 1gb its very STRANGE i live in iran and WARRANTY dont RECOGNITION what problem in it

  • Any other colours beside Gold Arte, black for e.g?

  • beautifull phone

  • where can i find original parts??

  • aahahha.. :D i have some questions guys., 1st that white pad, whats that for? 2nd do lots of men from dubai have this?? haha..

  • I think i wouldnt buy this phone even if i had the money to purchase it, its way too much for just a good looking phone.

  • bruf wat do u know about this phone its classic the best its not for kids loool gntle men phn

  • i bought this phone for 800usd it is great

  • just got one today

  • Are you from third world Bangalore by any chance? At least they're not living in crapholes like you are.

  • yeah, this is 18ct gold and we selling in dubai aprx 5000 drms.

  • is it realy gold?

  • It looks like a china mobile.!lol!

  • this is a expensive phone watch out for the fake knock off witch can connect to internet I bought mine nokia 8800 gold edition from ZiONPOWER.webs.com I can tell the big difference from the one from china the china replica is so Sh** compare to real thing ZIONPOWER.webs.com RULES they sell real deal cell phone only thank again ZP.

  • so why don't you?

  • i have one,got it as a gift ! its suks so bad !... the price is so high just cuz of the name and the stupid 18k gold ***PLATED** part . dude u can buy SOLID 18k gold insted in a cheaper price!..its expensive and hard to find the original parts if its destroyed.its over a $100 here just for a craked screen!.i prefer the sony ericson insted!now nokia even strated copying sony's designs..like new N8 is the XEROX copy of sony ericsson AINO U10i.but the sony is wayyyyyyy colorful comfortable ,and WORTHIT*

  • i love it!! i hope i could have one., =P

  • this phone has nothing in features as compared to even 5235 nokia so if you want to buy gold plated phone instead you should go to jwellery buy 30gms gold @ 45000 only and attach with your nokia 5235 now this combination can beat gold phone....understood nokia

  • With the money that i need to buy this phone i can feed a houndred of kids in somalia for a week.. or even more

  • Emad, its not for $2500, in Dubai its for 6300 dirhams which is $1685.

  • Yes definetly why not

  • very cute n wonderful phone, dropped it from the third floor of a building and it didn't break, a good buy..........it's worth the money so to say.

  • Shit, 2500 $ is too high price for a mobile fuck

  • For that price I buy an excellent cellphone and pay someone to answer my calls

  • For this money you can buy a very good phone,nice laptop,a golden ring,golden earing,and golden necklace and you will still save few hundred euros.

  • At this price it must have at least a nuclear reactor or something else...

  • excellence sexy mobile, it's very suitable to the top level people...nice design, stylish and smooth....i can say it is such a perfect mobile generation...

  • buy another one

  • this is the sexiest phone iv ever seen

  • i like this mobile but it is very expensive its not for me because i don't like expensive things if it will be lost so,what will i do......

  • guys does anyone know where i can get this phone in south africa,durban??????? and how much????? thanks

  • Yeah but if you run any other mobile phone with a truck, it WILL break to pieces. This one won't.

  • It worth more than 1000 euros and it doesn' have wifi or memory card.(even N91 has wifi an worth only 100 euros).this phone is for rich retards who don't know what to do with their money

  • It can't beat moto aura.

  • worst phone not woth its price could have bought apple for buyin it

  • Alhamdulillah i like this mobile but it is very expensive its not for me because i don't like expensive things if it will be lost so,what will i do......

  • the gold makes it expensive. i dont think this is such a good phone to buy. because u might find a better and cheaper phone,and why does it need 2 have gold? if u buy it then lose it, you'll wish u never bought it in the first place. so extravagant. anyway thats my opinion. thanks 4 reading!

  • it is quit nice and its features are little bit good. thanx

  • nice

  • I'm gonna buy this piece of shit for sure, i know the specs suck but just walking around screaming i got cash is more than enough.

  • Nice phone nothing wrong with paying 2500AUD for one, I have iphone and this one. If i was made to have only one phone, guess would have gone for the iphone

  • nice

  • super dooper smooth slide mechanism ever made in the universe!!!

  • UH wud never eva realise hw mch confidence uh feel wen uh have dis fne in ur handz.. i own it.. i noe... hw big i feel wen i go out of my house

  • I seen it b4 in a phone catalog. Its the sort of fone ppl get to show off, wen they dont realise that theives will want it more.

  • cool...certainly not for the struggling

  • It's just ugly. People are gonna buy this just so they could say "Hey, I'm one of the few.." If you want to announce to the world that you're rich just buy other expensive nokia phones -- those with very good specs. I would never recommend this phone to anyone.

  • Its Not Made For The Less Privileged....Its Made For Don's...Of High Class....I never regret having it. Good Work Nokia.

  • I bought this phone for $1800 and the performance is good but I will buy the vertu black diamond for around $400K but I only have $350K for my phone's budget my gosh

  • but a rolex will only hold its value or go up due to rarity. a rolex is craftmenship. you can not compare such a thing to a tacky gold plated low function phone. you dont shhh you shut the ... up : )

  • the materials used are not exspensive apart from the gold, the phone its self is so cheap to make. getting ripped off.%- info from an ex nokia employe

  • 2 ugly :s

  • they should give u a special buy the phn get a bodyguard free cause u gna get robd

  • Guys you are paying for the art, the classic... Do Rolex have as much function as G-shock? The answer is "N.O" NO but it still cost you a bomb, right! So pls, if you can't afford it. Zip up and keep quiet. Shhh...

  • ok i was the owner of 8800 gold Arte, i bought this fully packed, when i took it out it did'nt looked like gold, although it's 18k gold but the gold thing which was the only beauty of the cell which looked rubbish, looked like the same plastic cell phone with golden colour, but i loved it's sliding and sliding sound..i sold it right after a week..

  • veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­y niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee phone oh my god

  • its nice comment........haha........

  • doesnt have wifi, this is over priced rubbish

  • Very modern and fashion phone. It's good looking. There're very many funtions especially 3G and wifi. Extremly wonderful!

  • The 18k gold case is the one who made it very expensive but when you talk about functionality my god very common and for me below average...shocks i better buy a necklace or a wrist watch....

  • If you say we shouldnt buy this fone....we should give the money 4 research...then why did you buy this fone????

  • Luxury comes second for me! c'mon! functionality over everything! if you have enough money to afford this without taking a sweat in your wallet you should start giving money for research or who knows? numerous fields such as medicine, genetics, engineering, etc. MAKE SOMETHING USEFUL OUT OF MONEY.

  • The camera is without FLASH

  • do you think they sell it here, in Malaysia? anyone?

  • You can find nice colection of nokia 8 series phones here: It's worth to see all of them together from 8850 to arte

  • There's nothing wrong in spending a 1000 Euros for a phone if it's worth a 1000 Euros - but this isn't!

  • Theres nothing wrong in spending $1000 Euros for a phone. As long as you got the money its alright.

  • Nice collection of 8 series are shown here on Youtube:

  • Sadly some people are so impressed by a little bit of gold that they will willingly shell out a 1000 Euros for this phone! Nokia must be laughing all the way to the bank.

  • Can someone pls explain to me why the hell is this phone so expensive and special? Cause it's Nokia? Cause it's shock resistant? ok, but 1000 euro??? To hell with that!

  • I have just purchased this phone, after I accidentally dropped my carbon arte in water. This phone has got a good build and is quite nice to have. Not many people have one. Well worth the $$$ spent.

  • whats made of 8800 gold .lorea or finland is orginal

  • ppl i m an gadget freak there is no mobile in the world that i didn't had but when i got 8800 arte gold n motorola aura it has been a year i haven't changed my sets cause noboby has them in so those who have it thumbs up u wont get better.................... period

  • for 1040.euros I can live for 6Months.... but Dammm this is a Nice phone.... I'd but this anyday...aniday baba... ( just try mug me, Uzobona Unyoko)

  • the mobile looks great,but not impressed by the features on the phone!

  • oooooooh my God this phone is very amazing i real appreciate it.

  • this phone is an eye catcher to snatcher.forsure you can't use this while walking on unsafe streets

  • does anyone wanna buy one?? £1000, its yours!!!

  • I am totally with you. It`s got please steal me all over it. I disagree that all 8800 are useless though. The phones do work well and have a nice weight to them. But you just look to pretentious with one of these. Good phones though.

  • lame, a lot of money for nothing...just some gold on it. all 8800 editions are useless:(

  • its an awesome feeling to carry this beauty

  • wow! this phone is aw some dude!

  • I love this phone, I just got one and I ordered one to give to my Mom. This is by far the best phone i have ever boughten since my Continental mobile BlackBerry Bold. This is a must have phone.

  • i have 1 its amazing

  • its the gold you paing for.. not the specifications

  • bet u did mate, it wasnt a dummy was it cos we all wish we could buy it or did u buy it in ur dream, that doesnt count ;)

  • What a reap-off for a phone with less features but so so expensive

  • So costly

  • i bought this phone last week, its better than my previous nokia 3310.

  • Its on of my dream phones to buy after vertu , but no wifi it ****

  • I have checked the specs for Nokia 8800: they are sooo unbelievable dissapointing! A modest HTC Magic will kick its a.s.s and will leave it biting the dust. To me is clear the phone of choice of the stupid snobs (not necessary wealthy!) I am wondering who is the target customer? Maybe Russian mobs?

  • where do i can buy its

  • its beautifull...

  • You're kidding! That's upwards of $30,000 Canadian!

  • 1) for Business, he may have different carriers and have different phones for those. Different records on different phones, and he may not use every single one of those every day. 2) I have one for work on weekdays and one for weekends. It is NOT a chore to take a sim card out. Are you new?

  • nice nice nice but price so hi out of my ability

  • it's the best nokia phone ever (up to now)you pay for what you get : class and elegance

  • this phone is not for the very very rich..... y'all have check out www.goldvish.com their phones range from 21,000 euros up to 1 million euros!!!!!!

  • to small to read if you can read chinese junk crap china phone

  • Sold this for 850euros at delivery. 45 euros / months for 24 months. Not even close to worth it. :) This phone sucks.

  • can't do video call n no wifi. it is so 3 years ago phone.

  • Is that a good thing or a bad thing!

  • Beyonce has this phone

  • You must be very rich. Or should I say very very rich!!! Perhaps they"ll introduce a Platinum Arte and a Diamond encrusted Arte - and then you can go and buy those as well!

  • Hi ppl, I have just bought this device and i would like to say that it is very nice. Or should i say very very very nice!!! I think all the nokia 8800 arte's are very nice in thier own way. They all have very high end materials on them so if you are going to buy one then i would say buy one that suits you! If you think the price is too much for the Gold Arte but you like it better than the other arte's you will be more happy in the long run if you save up and buy it. I love it and i am glad i have bought it. Over all i have all the arte range and they are all top device's.

  • can you please tell me what should come up when I enter *#0000# on the original Gold Arte, and if there are some things I should watch out for on the phone's general outside appereance or box-content? thank you! (have entered same question on several Nokia phones, please allow it, I'm not spamming) Thank you And can you please tell me if the speaker is low-quality like on 8800 and sirocco where you practically don't hear the person you're talking to unless you're at a really quiet room?

  • this phone in malaysia will cost you merely MYR 6k = USD 2.4k...always be my dream phone..but the carbon arte attract me more

  • This phone is not about specs it's merely a status symbol. The people who buy this phone do so because they have the money to buy it, and to show to us poorer indivuals that they have money to waste!

  • NO YOU DONT!!! you are seriously saying you spend all your day swapping sim cards from phone to phone

  • It's expensive because it's made of Gold.. =)

  • I dont understand why this phone is so expensive.....it not like it has mouth watering specs...do something about the pricing...or is it because of scratch resistance?

  • Why is this phone so expensive...it doesnt have killer specs... come on Nokia..you can do better on pricing

  • To Romania boy If you can't afford it, then don't buy it! This phone states a certain social/financial position, one that you don't have since you're worried about the price. I hate people who haven't eaten in 3 days but they go "here is my 8800 gold arte" X(

  • i have the same phone but not the gold one and i dont like it ,,,,and the specifications are the same except that this one is gold ,,,, and i think phones are not jewelry and the options are more important than the outside ,.so if u cant afford getting this phone ..u should not even care

  • superb

  • I would like to buy the 8800gold arte but i don`t know if i buy the real one or i buy a copy coz nokia has alot of copy phones made in china....and in store is very expensive .. cant afford it ...alot of ppl can`t afford it

  • i have these phone is fantastic

  • its a nice phone but the problem is that the white leather can get dirty easitly!!

  • Does this all happen on fantasy island?

  • you dont have enough money for this phone

  • Absolute class act... I have the Nokia 8800 Arte (Black) and have no desire of selling it.... I m gonna buy this gold masterpiece that doubles up with my Black Arte for my weekends.... Businees days I m all tied up with my BB Storm, iPhone, E90 and P1i. 8800 Arte is just like a getaway from those heavy, busy working days with those chunks.

  • how come this stupid phone with no flash light and no shuter camera key nor a close up mode and no wifi and with a tiny 2" display and no video calling and no memory card no lens protection for the camera lens and a mediocre web browser and a stupid s40 software and after all that it is much more expensive than the i900 omnia

  • I am user of Nokia 8 series & have been using all the ranges from the day this series was launched. Recently bought this one & would say that nothing comes closer to this mobile. Features.. It has almost everything in it. Looks quality... no comparison. Love it!

  • I have nokia 8800 arte and going to upgrade to arte gold. genuine 8800s dont have card slot, and if you are not happy with that you can buy ones with card slot that are made in china.

  • Hi,that is a good phone indeed,,gold plated hey

  • it is not just about the gold body and features it is about the quality tell me how long u can use a 6500 slide,e71 or e66 until the volume and 4way key besomes red and looks like an old phone I had one of all and I am telling you max 4 month but I have one first generation 8800 that I am using this device for more than 3 yrs and it does not have even a scratch and it is still attractive good voice and antenna quality

  • i love this fone. very nice creation by nokia

  • thank you so much for that comment i mean this phone just displays it richness i for one would love to have the same phone just to show off flip man this phone is so beautiful.

  • I can only imagine Nokia produced this phone as a joke in order to illustrate the dubious taste of some of its customers. Horrible!!

  • my brother has this phone, have to say....the features r not good but it feels gr8 to carry gold in the pocket where ever u go try it

  • this 1 of the bst phns i ever hrd bt jst has 1 prblm n its the memory its to small man

  • its an 18 carat gold plated ? wow! you could get robbed by not having a cellphone but by having this 18 carat gold thing that you have.. :)

  • lol. the point of this mobile is sheer and absolute indulgence. that is it. there is no reason to mock its specifications or features. sure its not advanced...but just look at how gorgeous it is. People dont insult a ferarri because its expensive, uncomfortable, noisy and looks good. its for those who want to make a statement and can afford it. same story here with this 8800. deal with it :)

  • just checked the nokia website this 18 carat gold plated and g.leather,happy with that not complaining however its specs are not enthusiastic

  • Nyc phone but the features a bit dissapointing ...wudnt u say? Its quite pricey 4 what wat it has ...never da less, if I had cash ...i wud buy it, y nt?

  • this is good,nokia is tha IESH!!!!

  • the phone looks good,but the specs,nothing interesting.and for that price,it must make a cup of tea.

  • phone look is very good but memory slot is not there that is problam

  • hmmm....who will buy such a costly phone, i guess its all about its body, nothing special in the features.

  • "PLEASE DO NOT BUY NOKIA" I am a nokia user from iran as you know nokia has sold special devises to my countries government to spy our conversations This is what they say: Nokia, Siemens Help Iran Spy on Internet Users So I won't buy nokia again, Our government are killing us because we want freedom, we want to breathe freely and think, but as you know they don't let us to think, to speak freely and, they have killed a lot of oppositions, neda,sohrab,ali &�.. I beg from nokia users all over the world please don't buy nokia Please, please help us by selling your nokia phones and buy another brand, think that this is your own problem, what will you do? Please help us. Thank a lot.

  • whats the point of this phone? luxury only? this thing doesnt have anything

  • I bought my golden arte from official nokia distributor and found the desktop cradle can't charge the phone, so I had to request the distributer to change it. Then I found that tap sensor triggers clock while playing music or video. All this makes me think that arte series were not tested well by nokia. If I knew these disadvantages in advance I'd never pay 1k euro for this phone.

  • There is no 8800 Arte Diamond (1.05k real diamondand platinum)listed here on gsm arena, it is been sold at a nokia certified retailer for 3k here in the UK

  • Only gold value this phone???

  • yar main ne ise use kia hai lakeen is ka maza nahe aya agar kese ne use kia ho to muge btay

  • someone has a drink problem.

  • hi ppl its 1 of the best phones ever i use 2 change my mobiles everyday n it was a waste but since the time i got this piece of arte i m in love with it its 4 classy ppl not 4 geeks u have a mobile 4 texting n calling which this phones does n when ppl c this mobile in ur hand they say wow i have 2 mobiles gold arte n motorola aura both r 125000 each in pak rupees so b jealous n if u want a phone with all the features get urself 1200 nokia n the rest of the money u can spend it on laptop n going out these 2 mobiles show ur class

  • If you hold this phone, you will understand the price it sells for! So no need to call it a waste of money! I ordered mine and counting down the days until it arrives! I just carry my Laptop with to do all the other features! The other features some smartphones have only chows battery life etc. This phone is truly impressive!

  • i agree, after 1 year your phone becomes boring

  • Big deal this phone is gold, its crap, has no good features, no good camera, no touchscreen, nothing! ur a loser. sony is cheaper yet better than this piece of crap. se all the way

  • who would use any phone longer than 1 year?

  • mmmm y do we need a phone like this as if rich ppl dont have enough alreaddy

  • who would by this phone i no i wont b lol for the price of this phone u might aswell go to the pub

  • all nokia 8800 phones are overpriced junk! as for 'unique' you might want to look that word up

  • the only thing that i don't like about this is that it's not a smartphone...

  • even me i wish to buy this phone coz its unique

  • are you talking about the phone or about arab

  • aww some of the poor bastards who cant afford the phone say "i dont like this, and that"... all that while loving your God phone? come on, this is for those who have extra dough to spend. if y'all dont like it then grow up and shut ur mouth

  • how come this only come with 1 year warrenty?

  • Nokia Is the best phones in the world and they Nokia 8800 Gold has a good advantage if you put the phone on its keys will be no signal.but I prefer Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and Nokia N85.

  • owsome fone yar

  • This phone is for, some of the Arab people. The kind of Arabs you see in Dubai/Saudia Arabia etc, who are greedy, selfish, narrow minded, arrogant, ignorant, hold their noses high in the air. Basically they have no respect for others, other than UK and US citizens. They treat the poor like sewage and sniff and lick backsides of the rich. They have soo much money that they suckle the juice of dollers and yet cannot support fellow muslims/poor! They drive posh cars, make tall buildings, have 20 wives (when in fact Islam only allows 4, under extreme circumstances. So you sould only stick to one wife). They drink alcohol on those beutiful lands where majority of my beloved prophets have walked. So, all you dirty Arabs, you rascals need to burn here and hereafter

  • I really like this phone, its beautiful and durable. I need to buy one

  • and bumpped the price 200 USD more cause of the touch screen?

  • Nokia 8800 arte best of the best :D

  • AS compare to nokia 8800 gold arte , I prefer to buy nokia 1200 or 1202 its more suitbale ..................

  • why has nokia made this ugly expensive mobile

  • nokia 8800 is rubbish n wastage of money it doesnt hav any features the person who buys it is the biggest fool in the world

  • expensive brick

  • this phone is rubbish, the features on this is nothing to shout about, the battery life in non existence, it might as well be a corpse. Nokia have brought out this phone for stupid people who they are make a alot from, nokia a laughing to the bank, chi ching!

  • I dont like nokia models, maybe i would buy a v9x diamond edition but not that ugly phone. sony and motorola make fine models only.

  • to much money

  • "do u really think ? hum maybe u are out of ur mind (no offense) cause motorola (aka motocraprola)just release phones like 10 years old btw is ur opinion" AND THAT, SWEET ANONIMOUS, THAT IS UR OPINION

  • do u really think ? hum maybe u are out of ur mind (no offense) cause motorola (aka motocraprola)just release phones like 10 years old btw is ur opinion

  • I had all the 88xx phones and they are just a pleasure to have. Everytime to go somewhere and recieve a call, the phone itself turns heads. And it makes you feel good. It is more a piece of jewlery than it is a phone, that is why I also have an N958GB but other than that, the phones are a great piece of engineering and finesse. It is worth the $.

  • Nokia make the ugliest phones of all the market. i would never buy smthg luxury of nokia never. Motorola should start getting into this market, poor motorola the only thing they do fine are the models. Nokia performance and features Motorola Design

  • not very smart than me

  • its luxurious...

  • i got 4 od these for x mas last yr. i dont like dem i jus bote maself a nokia 1650 its a better fone

  • i have the gold scirocco and a lot of the other 8800's in my cubord im deffonatly gonna add this to the collection!!

  • Just becuase it is out of your league dont hate it !! The phone looks and performs as it should do.

  • maybe only so ppl can have it , and we have to respect all the opinions , but everyone has to agree this phone is a luxury piece like a jewel , and yo stare attentions . doesn't matter about the specs , maybe most of the ppl who buy just make calls, so thats, perfect. if have money falling from my pocket i would't buy one of this phone maybe 7. 1 for each day of the week, i didn't care.

  • in my opinion you'd have to be mad to pay for this phone. i'd sooner buy a car

  • i work at cpw and the problem witht the v few 8800 we sell is they break, they are not very good, if you want one you are trying to think you are rich but you are not, you arnt rich enuf for a vertu but you want think you are posh with one, i am not very keen aswell myself.

  • This Phone is really hot . the colour , features, and size. Great phone

  • owning a luxury device like this one brings prestige with nokia service people succumbed to hysteria when your around. i tried it and i have the best time, first class customer service, first class accommodation, what more can i ask for?

  • Nice phone, but i woud by this phone only if i haven'to spent my money on something smarter.

  • It is an expensive phone, no doubt about it. It is not for everyone. I have 8800 the first of this series for about three years and works fine. Price tag will keep away many people, but the fact is this Gold Arte is finest piece of gadget I have seen at the Nokia dealer. May be i am not in a position to buy GOLD ARTE now, but, it is hard to resist. It is a collectors' masterpiece, and not to measured in terms of conventional line of fancy phones. Out class....Pure jewelry>

  • I would like to buy the Nokia 8800 Gold Arte but i reside in South africa , where can i go if i want to buy one? and how much is it gonna be the installment?

  • people who can't afford or those who have no interest to look good anymore can't say anything good about this luxurious phone. there are really phones concentrated on looks, and this one is it.

  • dah, can you carry a laptop with you so you can see all your business transaction in a full screen? i cant integrate my phone with my desk job, that's to grouse since i receive a hundred calls a day.

  • yeah it cool to look at but the features suck! They should have an upgraded touch screen version

  • just simple phone!! no spaciality at all! just for sum ediot rich people buy it

  • this phone is hot, a perfect gift for wife or gf

  • That 6500s slide is one sexy little slide phone

  • ok.. the phone overall is flash looking, however you have to be either retarded or stupidly rich to buy it.the phones functions are poor. i would rather spend �60 on a 6500 slide which is a basic-cool nokia phone. i have to be honest, i prefur the 24carot gold necklace that i have to this.. people that jus beg to be an owner of this phone need a life. peeece from T3Dirrect

  • funny all those pretenders on this site, what millionaire would take the time to look for some kind of forum about phones , and then brag , virtually... oonly people here are bored phonecomany employees whose google is blocked , and sweaty boys who want to belong somewhere , and are looking for qa company to adore. In the 8 months another 8800 was being sold by tmobile, I never sold a single unit , neither did my 60 collegs, bye bye

  • one ugly phone...looks like an old rich lady's phone!!!

  • Don't assume I'm poor simply because I prefer smartphones over so-called "luxury" phones. If you want to spend your money on flashy trinkets, be my guess. Some of us have businesses to run. Therefore, we need the funtionality of a smartphone while we're away from the office. ;)

  • Number one ranking most ugly & gaudy looking phone in the world!

  • i am very interested in the priorities of the so called rich people who buy a mobile phone with below average featues

  • this is not marketed for people who cant afford.. who says rich people needs many features? they have to many things to think of rather than playing with mobile phones. i own this device and i love it.

  • I prefer the Carbon Arte to this one really. However, seeing as how I like smartphones I opted for the Samsung G810 in Deep Grey. It's just as stylish and exclusive looking, with the metal casing, and all. But, it has way more functionality than the Arte series. I don't like pissing my money away on pretty trinkets just so I can show off.

  • i hv used this phone its awsome phone but i m hv bought porsche phone so cool its its around 89k rs in india

  • its just so happen that i bought this at a special price in Helsinki from a good friend Koivu, never mind, El�k��n nokia!!

  • The Carphone Warehouse has got them now since the 16th, they have over 200 in their warehouse however its 1299 pounds!

  • been using this phone for 2 months now and all i can say is that, every penny i spend on it is worthy. top of the class. im planning to buy nokia's vertu ferrari when i get bored on this.

  • Soundtech Ltd in Cyprus is selling Nokia Gold Arte for the last 4 months!! Customers bought it before Christmas. You can check their website (search Google: Soundtech Cyprus) as VERY expensive mobile. It is the most expensive NOKIA.

  • haha, wat! you buy a phone just 4 a radio.....lol

  • it's Girlllly phone lolz. Carbon Arte is better. perhaps Nokia should think of making Carbon Gold(rose/white gold) Arte or some kind like that......lol

  • very very poor

  • Funny thing is...the comment about the blonde is so fun, yet so true! Haha, this phone does not have the features, but it IS a fashion phone. If you have the money...sure go for it, people would of course give you the "Wow, s/he is rich!" Look, then they'll think about it and say: "Hm...but that phone isn't worth that much?"

  • hahah

  • LOL! That was an awesome comment about the blonde!

  • I bought one of this model (8800), but it worked for just one month.

  • 88oo gold arte is the ke pad and the nombers alitel hard to se aspeshaly in day laite

  • Feels like have a Blonde in my pocket. Beautiful but stupid...

  • Its all about taste..... Something that everyone cant have... its make this phone So Luxury....

  • really no need to explain this to the geeks, cos they will never understand, they only read numbers

  • no video call camera, short-life battery, only triband... i cannot understand why people are interested to buy this fone.

  • It's not about specification but it about LUXURY. Nokia 8800 isn't a gadget phone.

  • Dear people! This phone is luxury phone that not everyone can afford. put it this way, Louis Vuitton bag cost over �1000 , there are 1000000 bags in the world cheaper and better but everyone wants louis vuitton. not because its so good, just because its so expansive and not everyone can afford it.. it limited edition things... if LV bags were �50 in every store, dont think everyone would want it so bad. # so thats my point this phone is beauty only for people who can afford, i use carbone, korean and i love it.i dont care about memory it has, i have my itouch 32gb. so yeah , if u can afford this phone, just buy it. i have all 8800 series at home, and all working althou its been years since sirocco n classic 8800 been released. not a phone freak or summit. very reliable phones.

  • this phone is so cool i have it it's the best phone on the planet by far cheerio bugrace

  • hahaha.i have read so many posts about NOKIA 8800 People it is not all about the features.This phone is sick.Everybody is gonna look at you when you pull it out of your pocket.And please check the material that it is made of.Thats why it is so expensive.

  • Hi! People When you buy this phone forget about features like camera,internal memory Wi Fi because this phone is above all this. When you hold this phone in your hands and use it the kind of feel it will give you the money you will pay is definately worth it. All I can say this is absolute class and you can compare it with Rolly Royce Phantom or maybe a Rolex watch or a mount blanc pee. It is a style statement. Go for it!!!

  • OMG, This phone was never worth the money. There are so many other phones out there that could beat this phones specifications.

  • hi folks i have just bought this mobile yesterday it costed me abt over 1 lac 50 thousand in pak rupees n i must say that its a mark of elegence style n personilty its even though not aveliable in pak but i bought it from dubai so folks donot look at the price tag go 4 style n class u will love it

  • The Nokia 8800 Arte GOLD, will start selling initially for the very cool amount of US$/EUR in the area of 2500. For Europe, it will start around EUR2500 due to the high VAT tax on such item. It is EUR400 just for VAT tax for most of the country on such item !! More info in the web site of soundtech in Cyprus as release will be enext week. (Optionally you can get the Nokia Sirocco GOLD edition for 1/3 of the price of Arte GOLD!!!)

  • I work for an insurance company and when it comes to these h/s's we have to replace them as best as we can, mostly getting them brought in from all over the U.K, I mean you wouldn't pay insurance if we didnt do everything we could for you however we have had cases where the h/s's cant be replaced and all we can do is give them something like a N96 because thats the best we have

  • man...imagine loosing this phone...lol don't think many insurance companies will believe how much this phone costs to replace it..lol

  • i Prefer This phone 2 Vertu!

  • Sick

  • i agree the options sucks but the real deal here is the gold plated body its for rich dudes who needs gold and style all in one phone . yes and it is expensive . so just forget about the options some people got different tastes .

  • phone look is very bad. but features is very normal cost is over

  • i want to buy 8800 gold art plz send me more

  • very bad phone too expensive its design is not good

  • Retards! y r ppl saying stuff bout the carbon but not this? this phone is exactly like the carbon but has a different exterior...

  • this must be good,it has nice nice features. a friend just call me to check on the phone and i really appreciate the initiator of the phone. i only pray that it wound create holes in our pockets.

  • It is smart and good looking. I love this. All features are o.K.

  • It looks quit nice but I just know that it might be very expensive. It might burn a hole in my purse.

  • the selleing price is around 2.8k SGD.

  • I've just hands on this beautiful gold arte...is scratch resistance. i tried to use my nails to scratch on it, but there isn't any scratch at all...i dun think the gold will peel off like some other Nokia phones. I personally have got Arte, sapphire arte, gold sirocco, luna and even the old 8850 Gold...so far all these premium phones dun have any problems as compare to those N or Eseries. After all this phone is targeted for people gg for status and design not so much on functions be it is a crap phone still there are people out there will buy it.

  • Nokia phones are the best but the 8800 is a lousy phone.If u want to make a fashion statement than buy this phone but if u looking for a good usefull phone than the N96 is the ph�ne to buy.D�nt buy a phone thats smart on the outside and useless in the inside

  • روووووو­;وووووو ­8;وووووو­08;ووووعه كم سعر

  • good looking, but please give me a discount 90%, i will buy it soon.. hehehe

  • oh....see like nice ....but no money to buy....huhuhuhu..............................

  • u really are right about what u said..

  • ive never had this kind a celpone b4, but it looks good though., just wanna know how xpensive.

  • 8800 Arte not really good phone in most areas! Only the material...(not build quality); speaker phone sound & call quality good...(still behind Motorola Aura reproduction sound quality). Other than the aforemontioned, nothing to go for this phone?! Gold Arte is gaudy looking...worst looking one in the Arte line up!

  • this phone is for mindless looneys that have nothing else to spend there money on. it's like a stupid blonde with a hot body. hehe

  • man,this phone gonna cost a bomb...

  • very gooooooood looooookinn

  • this phone is fantastic , i will bring that for my shop for selling,100% from alizade shop

  • 8800 gold arte is just like all the 8800 phones. It looks smart for nothing. In simple terms it is a useless phone. If u looking for a fancy phone and not worried about what features it has or price u could buy this phone. The N95 is the best phone nokia ever made.

  • I love ittttt.

  • This is great phone. I love it.I take it. nokia rulsssssssssssssssssssssssss.

  • it's for rich people actually, so if you aint got no doe's just shut your mouth anyway.

  • what so good about this phone other than its gold

  • thats great. i love nokia. bucause always see the richest people.

  • It doesn't have an OS, it's not a smartphone. It's a high priced average phone. It calls, it texts, it takes an OK picture and it's not worth the money. I can't think of anyone foolish enough to buy one - unless its a cheap knockoff.

  • Phone dont look gr8 at all as per its prize

  • love it

  • Why somant "NO GOOD", simply say you can't afford it or it is not your type. I'm using Arte Saphire and there is no problem with camera , battery and OS.

  • people from china now can make fake once that look the same ... and people are going for it too .. so what if its 18k gold?

  • what high class people? i say people got to much money dont know where to spend.thats how nokia come up with phones like this to get money out of this lot. one or two years down the rosd this phone will still go to the lower end phones.

  • The nokia 8800 is only made for high class people (sorry xD). You will feel the difference with other phones in fabulous way =)

  • well thes "ugly phone" as many refer to it... has it's market shelve... for people who seeks style, not spec's! i like the post of that Ugly guy who gets the looks of girls when he pops this phone from his pants:-) anyway... people who seeeks only style do not usually care ( or can use it) the FEATURES.... so her eu go... It is Gold plated... unit... but well,,, i can imagine the feel when you lose it...( i lost a several good ones and myself a fan of an N series)feels sucks!well people who buy this phone can afford another one right away... not sacrificing a year long savings on it ... so if u make a 100 G a year- why not pop one of this out of your pants.. and no matter what u pop outta there you are still highly desirable guy( 100 + Grand a year?) so here u go...

  • buying this phone is not very good because this phone is very expensive so i think it's better to buy normal phone so that you can change after 1 months

  • over priced. had the gold sorroco was disapointed and i doubt the new arte is any better

  • 3MP can record VGA quality video, this is the best thing, compare to some soon expire 8Mp only can record max QVGA

  • the most expensive fon in my country! its not worth it. looks ugly no wifi 3.2 camera no os and... belive me...you dont need anything with the name "arte" on it.

  • Look gaudy and quite ugly...especially after the gold plate peel off - just like my N76!

  • a very greet phone but it very expensive

  • this is like a gold biscuit .....looks beautiful but cant eat !!!!

  • No good camera No good operating system (not sympian os) No good memory No good battery No good price i'm sure it's very expensive No good look what else?

  • such a cool phone

  • no wifi???????????????? loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

  • Nokia has done it again with this one, always pushing the envelope. True definition of style & creativity. Can' t wait 2 get my hands on this artwork

  • I like this phone too.. it has a nice features and it gives some attraction for those people around you.^,^

  • i think it's Good to use..But its expensive so we must take care on our cp...

  • Man!!! I can buy a bike with this...what ever it is...

  • I like background of gold . but with to wifi is a point. :)

  • i also defined that like u

  • To Kon; What the hell, man, how many phones DO you need to make you look good, under different names?!

  • im very like this phone,elegance and beautiful phone but the price is very expensive.

  • is this fone made of gold

  • ah,gimme a break!!!

  • I'm an ugly guy but i can afford to buy a very expensive cellphone!.Everytime i'm bringing this phone most of the girls looking at me!.and i have a lot of girls and i'm feeling handsome too just because of Nokia 8800 Gold Arte!

  • this color looks terrible. gold plate may peel off too

  • don' lieeeee

  • very good telephone

  • Nice phone, cool design & build. Not much function, just pure elegance~ Not worth the $$ tho..especially during this period of economy..

  • i've got ate black. I think its very good phone as i dont need no facebooks and youtubes and myspaces on my phone. u can call, read sms thats it. The only one problem is that it is hard to hear other people talking to you, because the volume is weak

  • you are wrong

  • sweet colour bad phone

  • the best phone ever. i started using the 8800 series in 2006, with the silver 8800 , after that 8800 sirocco and then 8800 arte black, i cant use any other phone now, .this is the best series

  • It's a good think if you're lookin' for a 4 GB memory stick, but you can get one for less then 10 $

  • which motorola phone are you talking about????????

  • i.mmmmmmmm every women look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... i know thats not how the song goes but this phone is lame

  • :)) Nice one Pepsi :)) This phone really has nothing to show me.. Nor the other 8800 sheep like phones. Ugly, expensive, not so bright.... As Pepsi said: Stay away...

  • Have you used the 8800 arte series before? The battery life is very good.

  • This is copy from MOTOROLA - why?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • Aziz your blatantly a shonk. This handset will be more like �1200 not dollars Besides this phone will be as crap as the others battery life a joke

  • Actually folks it's "VERTU"!! Get it right. Rich people buy Nokia, Apple , Motorola and everything else. This phone is for whoever likes shiny things I guess. Actually whoever doesnt know it will not even think that the phone is gold or not. And to tell you the truth money knows money so it doesnt really matter what phone you buy. There are the haves and have nots, they are easily told apartand its definitely not by your cell phone

  • it"s beautiful > and sexy :) .. i"ll buy it 2morrow .. it"s cheap .. 1200 $ in kuwait .. need some ?

  • it"s beautiful > and sexy :) .. i"ll buy it 2morrow .. it"s cheap .. 1200 $ in kuwait .. need some ?

  • There should be w lan and external memory.

  • its rubbish............................it has a crack screen........

  • Hi ! The material is Gold ; so its color won't fade , but i saw a Carbon Arte that the skin had faded badly . [:-)}-<

  • I bet the 18K gold plate of this phone will peel off just like the N76....I just don't trust Nokia quality anymore!

  • don yaya la carlo. . .tis phone for rich ppl? 18k gold plate. the most also 2 to 3k. AS LONG AS U ARE WORKING. ANYONE IS AFFORDABLE.

  • Its a lovely handset however wanted to ask within how much time will the colour of the handset would get fade and how much would a new original cover for this handset cost*********

  • this phone is for rich people only its not expensive so what you on about if your rich why you not bought a vertue phone that means your rich 8800 arte means your a wanna be rich person when you buy a vertue and you say which branch you bought it from and i ring them to confirm it then i will say your rich till then your a wanna be

  • I lobe this phone and I want it.

  • i have this fone..this fone is lack of features and i know that.. but it is so expensive..but i can aford it.. and this fone i think is for rich people only..

  • reused in your comment what you on about lol you cant even spell lol its not selling mate thats why a new type keeps coming out so it sells a little more units so what part of english dont you understand ITS GOING TO BE SHELVED and you say gsm arena have not got the weight right give me a break WHAT YOU ON ABOUT on nokia sight it weighs 150 G doh they said they made the 1 before this of carbon but it still is 150 g ive seen whats going to replace the 8800s line have you i think not so what you on about cant believe you say gsm has not got the weight right lol you buy it if you think your a wanna be and look rich if you where you would have a vertue , most people could afford this but they choose not to if you know it all come on then whats the new one going to look like haaaa you dont know go on buy this one even though it weighs your pants down its slow it hangs its 3g but you cant video call lol when these arts where first made if people tried to video call the phone used to light up no call but on the other end they heard it ringing lol the phone thought it was a 3g phone lol nokia took 3 months to realise this then brought new software out to correct it the phone is slow and dopey thats a fact you buy it if you like wanna be rich man most people who really have money dont flaunt it and dont want this phone if this phone was made with paper would it still be 150 g eg as every other thing nokia says its made of carbon it still weighs the same lol i tried the art range bot reilsed nokia is taking the p .. s so tried to sell it to my friends no one wanted it i gave it to my friend who works on a building sight thats how much its really thought of in the real world lol its junk so you come back in from the cold i bet your 1 of those who still believes in father christmas lol had a right laugh when i read your comment laughing all the way to the bank with not parting with my money lol if you like gold as your colour lol does that mean you like grey as your colour in clothes come on surley you cannot like this one in gold the black 1 silver 1 i thought mmmmm ok ish but in gold i thought it was a kidds toy i nearly fell off my chair gold ok if you live in the gulf anywhere else no it would look a total joke if you pulled it out , like i said this phone should be the best its not in what its made of mark up is a joke

  • Thumbs down

  • what the heck are you on about? first you say these models arent selling so they keep bringing out new ones but then you say they wont bring out the new one untill people stop buying them? so which is it, are people buying it or not? youre full of non-sense. also this phone is only gold PLATED that would not add to the weight that much and its also possible that GSM just reused to spec sheet for the rest of the 8800s and didnt think to reweigh or change the weight, i think youre the one who needs to wake up and come back to the real world. Also of course the mark up is ludicrously high, it is on most phones, especially luxury phones

  • to babe you say its a dream phone why is it , its not that expensive you think you have money if you had you would have the vertue phone lol the 8800 phones are not selling anymore thats why when the sales slow down nokia bring out a new one to try to keep the sales going this is a fact if you check in the carbon forum you will see i said before anyone on here that a new 1 was in the pipeline eg this one so cut the crap out nokia had to do this to keep sales up and if your that brainy which i dont think you are how come no matter what these phones are made of how come they are all still 150g in weight penny dropped yet if people like you did not buy it then nokia would soon bring out a 8800 that people deserve in nokia work force we are laughing at people like you who buy it i know how much this phone costs to make you dont the mark up is way out so you buy it if you think people will think you are rich lol come on pulling this phone out in puplic people will think your in a 1970s movie gold lol other people if you have the money try to hang on ive seen what will be replacing this phone nokia wont bring it out untill these plonkers keep buying this model so let them buy it and fade away into the sunset then you can have the last laugh , use your heads when 8850 was launched nokia did not have to keep changing it around thats as it sold well for 5 years this model has not thats why they keep changing it come on use your heads hang on this model will soon be shelved you will like the new type thats all i can say im trying to help you as i want the new type of 8800 phone to but while these people who think they are rich keep buying this they wont so hang on .

  • ...also heard that the fake one have no overheat issue - unlike the real one?!

  • The fake one before the real one! Oh well, their exterior look & feel exactly, exactly the same - so not a bad buy for much less than 1/10 the price of the original...

  • people starving all over the world... and your gunna pay how much for a status symbol??? sad...

  • oh please stop stating that ppl are jealous of this phone. its fake & cheap looking.

  • i got one! my dad bought it in china. much much much more cheaper. fake. hahahaha

  • all that glitters is not gold!!! too gaudy!

  • well...buy it if you have the money...

  • This one is ugly & gaudy looking - I'd rather take the Diamond Arte which is alresdy available for US$6,300.

  • It is the status symbol! its a dream fone true no1 dare to "waste money" on such fones but those who do can do any thing for class!

  • if you can't afford it don't curse it.. just accept it man. u're just jealous

  • like i said i have held one and i think they are fantastic. I was just stating that ppl who cant afford 1 or havn't 1 should not flame this phone..

  • anyone who actually has the money to throw away on a gold plated phone is what is wrong with this world, seriously, go buy a standard nokia and donate the rest to a worth charity, cause you know thats making a difference, buying this phone is just stroking your ego and i would gladly spit on anyone who has one.

  • Bling bling! People who buy this are those who probably will wear a more expensive watch as well.

  • no comment!!!

  • Yuck...too gaudy looking!

  • after arte gold maybe there is more about this phone to comes in next level

  • see? all specifics appearance of this phone is so perfect. details and everything in it. lackness of some addition high-tech in this phone seems not required coz it's already perfect without it.the keypad so smoothly.the only problem of this phone is the fingerprints all around it's body everytime u touch it.

  • yo man,the reason why 8800 gold arte born because to make a difference between people who just do more talking than the have who just do the action and show what they got.as long as this world turn around,8800 series wud still the best phone from nokia. o ya,the pimp could get this phone but maybe u can see it IF u really live nearby those kind of areas.i did't know it.no offense,buddy.leave all those envy feelings behind.i believe that if u own this phone,then you will so confidence.brilliant phone so far.sometimes what you can't afford makes u jealous,though infact u shud try work harder if u really wanna get it instead of talk,talk,talk,etc.

  • mind my opinion,but to those who judge this phone in negative way,my suggestion is [if u all can afford it of course]try to hold this arte phone in the palm of your hand,then later on u can comment it. it's absolutely a sophisticated phone.really.don't just talk before u [actual] have it or at least touch it.8800 series : less is truly more. i agree with this. then again,i do have arte saphire already.that's why i can comment it.coz more or less the basic function inside gold arte reviewed just the same. can u all handle the truth? just 1 simple question,stop the nonsense talking, do u all have it? if not,then u r just embarassing yourself,mate. ciao.

  • lol@ all the haters... a friend has just got a 8800 carbon arte and its amazing.. yes it hasnt got a 5 or 8mp cam but the 8800 series isnt about that. Tbh i couldnt afford a 8800 gold arte but if i could i would have 1, more likly a carbon arte but still brill phones. So stop all the hating just cause 1. your never seen a Arte or 2. u cant afford 1

  • yes,the fingerprint always comes out on this kind of phones. but actually there's a way to prevent it,by having it wrap with some kind of thin clear wallpaper,i also did it. there's some phone store who provide this.still...it comes with a price,ya know what i mean.

  • what is your point then? this phone truly made for them who have money. that's the matter. not stupid. don't tell me that you're not tempted to have it if the price quite cheap ,do ya? 8800 gold arte is another successful story of nokia in making a development of this series,no bad intetion saying all this opinion.as a matter of fact many people are waiting for this phone to be released.so the phone speak for itself.no need to debate,the arte must go on.peace yaw

  • i think this phone is not stupid at all. u can see the exclusive phone just by take a quick glance on this phone.just like cars,there are many differences between mercedez with honda jazz,i'm sure u got my point.don't humiliate this phone if you don't have 1 or mostly u can't afford it.nothing personal bout this,man.

  • in english please to give a comment. can't u read? or u just something from outside this universe. this phone have a massive mass storage of internal memory [4gb. that's some big improvement of this series. so far the biggest storage. this phone also a terrific phone. better than carbon arte,i must say. nokia still the best. o ya,envy people outhere who can't afford this phone,just back off,man!

  • This phone is tight. I think the idea is clear. if you love your wife & can afford the NOKIA 8800 GOLD ARTE, you sure have answered the question. Its cute, its the boom of this new year.

  • What is the price

  • it dosent ya goat it spell's stupid!!1

  • I wana know that if some one keep the mobile in his hand is the finger print come out or not ???????

  • why nokia making all luxury model in a same look eg all 8800 series. at list they have to change the styles. for good business

  • Come on guys, It's only gold plate, it wont be long before the plate wears away leaving the phone looking tacky and cheap!

  • Diamond Arte already available at US$6,500. - those tiny diamonds around the opening edges make the phone look girlish, and I'm surprised to find that it's not in gold but in brown color just like the Sapphire Arte.

  • NEXT: Nokia 8800 Diamond & Platinum Arte

  • y in gods name would anyone want an 18k gold fone with worst specs than a 6600 fold. we as a world are in recession but nokia (being the optimistics they are) still think some one will be dumb enough to splash there spare cash on it.

  • hello, besides the looks (I agree with you about that) is the fact that this phone is STUPID; you pay a lot of money just for gold, not for technical capabilities....

  • Seriously Jay... Its better off if we can pawn this phone.. when facing financial difficulties... lolzzzz

  • can we pawn this phone if we are facing financial problem???

  • wow gold!!!

  • Personally I never liked gold phones ever since the Ericsson T68(see link below), there's just something about them that looks too ostentatious, black or silver look a lot more refined. Gold looks like a pimp phone, good for drug dealers and criminals.

  • what a dumb phone nokia come out with.. isnt it the same as other 8800 just the material used to make it is different guess nokia is running out of idea LOL

  • Of course the barbeque

  • its shining but not quite luxurios

  • lets say you have a gold plated barbeque and a advanced microwave oven. which one is more luxurious?

  • When the price will fall in such short time it goes to show that these phone aren't luxury but just hyped piece. thier prices are high but value is less. and you are just emphasizing that high price + gold = luxury whereas i say more function + less price = more luxury. you all people are just proving it again and again as a nice show piece than a nice mobile phone.

  • Dis fone iz da bomb dot com, yo! I be a balla carryin itz

  • Its a shame these phones cost so much, the lack of features is almost criminal for the price they ask. Sure the handset looks good and there is still a market of people who love the 8800 series, but an 18 carat gold plated phone is a tad over-the-top. Plenty of potential to upgrade this series: wi-fi, bigger camera, expandable memory, improved 3G etc. Who knows, maybe a platinum plated 8800 will achieve these extra features :P

  • sorry mike,even a rich person need a high specs in a phone.not just 18k of gold plated body..it is useless of being show off for the rich person if the phone is left behind among the others in technology..people said,dont judge 'PHONE' by its cover..

  • is this real gold? x

  • first of all this device is made for mafia,show-biz,movie actors,singers,"luxury company" wemen who want to show off how rich they are.who wants to detach very clear from the big mass of 6500,6300-gold users,will buy this phone. anyway it's price will fall at half in 6-7 months for brand new models. look at scirocco price evolution:is 430 euro brand new and 250 -300 euro at 2nd hand. so,what's the problem??

  • This is a cool phone had the 8800 the features are same as any normal phone but this phone was not designed on features it was designed on looks and they have done a great job. Waiting for this to come out any idea of when it actually been released because so many people just chat crap is there like an official release date, and not this 'word on the great vine' lol

  • Another crap arte...who give a rat arse if its gold! Come on nokia give us something new!!!

  • how do you define luxury?? does it mean a rediculously expensive piece of metal or luxury is something (a device) which can do all the task (well if not all then many task)like taking beter picture, better connectivity, better productivity etc at lesser price than something which is rediculously priced?? i guess it comes down to people taste to define what luxury is. but its rediculous to redicule the economic condition in poorer countries just to try to defend this overly priced piece of metal. kindly do enlight me what is luxury suppose to mean in term of mobile phones. i understand living in big house, having body guards, 5 digit pay check, being born in a developed nation is luxury, but what luxury does this cell phone provide other than making calls, texting and being shiny is appearance.

  • how expensive 8800 is???

  • no matter how you look at it. this phone will always be a luxury so dont ever compare it to other plastic phone because this phone is made of GOLD! oh and VERTU is also a luxury phone.

  • HELLO! PLEASE REMEMBER THIS PHONE IS A LUXURY PHONE!!! L U X U R Y there is a big difference between luxury and needs if you have the money, and if you know you are rich then buy this phone if you are a normal social climbing b#$%^ then dont buy this phone. someone said that this phone is an "eye candy" for thieves? uhm if you walk on the streets of a thirdworld country - yes, but if you are rich and you have a car and you have body guards and you live in a safe place, no. basically this is a luxury phone, for the love of God, it's 18k GOLD! this phone is LUXURY not your everyday NEED! wifi, expandable memory? hello! those stuff are for people who needs to work hard. anyway babye

  • i'll rather get the moto aura...

  • You're talking about someone not having class and style and you can't type a sentence using proper words. Saying someone doesn't have class because they can see this phone is an overpriced piece of junk is ridiculous. Working in the mobile industry I can tell you the 8800's are a joke among us all and the only reason we love selling them is they are FANTASTIC commission! I wouldn't feel bad selling YOU one at all!

  • Nokia phones are well know for overheat, but they are still the biggest seller in China!

  • Lol

  • A 8800 Sirocco Gold update? Will the Gold melt when this phone heat up during calls?...

  • too expensive :s:s

  • i hope nokia goes 2 hell liars the same phones with deferent color liars

  • james these units are avalable at good independant dealers and the 8800 is a great phone but if you sell any product you should know its negatives . Personally we sell and have many satisfied customers on the 8800

  • mate i dont think u no what your talking about, u workin in a phone shop ay! big deal want a medal!! so do i and i tell u a 8800 over a sony w910 any day.. software on the sony actual sucks big time buddy ull be sending ur phone away for service rather than using it. what do u use a phone for>? calls an text not much else ya hero.. 8800 give u class n style which u obviously dont have! loser

  • how can u complain about a phone which is probably worth more than your car, stupid! get over the fact u dont have one coz ppl hate wont they aint suckers.. keep up the good work nokia your 8800's are in a league of there own!!

  • First of all there doesn't exist any 8 series of the os my friend. The phone is a new release and the 8800 has been reviewed. The OS of 8800 is yet to be revealed but i am sure in this generation of Nokia 8800 phones they would definitely provide Symbian OS. Phones are categorized not into 8 series, they are categorized as Series 40 or Series 60 phones in general. Don't blame anyone with half of your knowledge Mr. Mobile Repairer. Regards!

  • your decision is good according to your age you are selected

  • your decision is good according to your age you are selected

  • It reminds me of the 8800 Sirocco Gold.

  • the phone is available, i bought it

  • same old crap

  • cool

  • look the n97 is still beter than the x1 btw i have a n96 and a x1

  • this phone doesnt use technology but style.

  • NOKIA 3310 is the best phone ever can tank a lot of damage but still can use

  • I've always been crazy about the 8 series .. & for all thos who don't like it , well it's made for type of ppl who appreciate high quality .. these phones are for those who seek elegance & luxury . if u would want a phone that has wifi , higher mp & other stuff then stop commenting on 8 series & keep on sticking on the N series. as long as it provides u with all what u want , So LEAVE THE 8 SERIES for its ppl .. Great job NOKIA & i really love the phone , it's amazing & looks soooo special ..

  • 18k gold or maybe nokia should compile along this 8800 with one thousands diamonds from antwerp?(sounds silly)?sounds like we are talking about watches,jewelleries etc.cut the crap..this phone is not for the purpose of telecommunication technology..NOKIA connecting people with this 8800 gold arte??it should be like this,PEOPLE connecting nokia..PEOPLE are getting crazy for such a crap models.

  • was gonna buy one for my yaya, but she wanted an se xperia, so i got her one, the specs are way better nyways...

  • dont fight over a phone just go for nokia 3310 its the best among the rest!!

  • Chav Phone!!!!

  • oh well the post below is meant to be sarcastic.

  • if nokia is makin money out of these phones that implies that there are few, if not many who are buying these!! @ nokia dont worry about these people's cheap comment. you know what? these people are poor :D

  • I work as a Sales Executive for a Telecommunications Company and I agree with the fact that these series may be quite "low-tech" compared to the latest technologies used on cellphones nowadays, but their structure is what I can really say tough... the glass resists scratching unless it was subjected to a rather inhumane handling... better than any other phone I've seen or handled.

  • You are lying. For two reasons: 1) first, the phone isn't available yet... 2) I work at a mobile phone shop, and the 8 series are not very good mobile phones in "mobile phone terms", but the construction is surely better than any other phone. You've said Sony Ericsson? May I remind you of the "excellent" quality of the W580i and W910i? Breaking keys... Got it? If you don't know what you're talking about, just don't talk at all!

  • hello... is this set has 1000 no. pim entries (addressbook)means only 1000 numbers or 1000*5 (thats 5000) numbers total capacity... can some one guide me...? thanks in advance

  • Just another basic good looking phone still using old technology!!

  • this is getting stupid now how many 8800 series are there now, nokia is getting away with the same design and making money from it it just gets to show you the consumer is crazy

  • it is that shame of de nokia did not make even a step ahet but i wuol like to have this cellphone e

  • Great... another dodgy phone for the rich and infamous. the phone's so called scratch resistant is crap, a customer brought one in, it was scratched to hell. Sony Ericsson phones have better screens than that. 18K gold... melt it down and use it as jewelery, better value.

  • heys...i love this phone..i think its more worth thn the gold sirocco.. cause the sirocco is more pathetic and do not have any usb connection.. this one is better.. thankgod they realise!

  • i think its good mobile from nokia but i think that 8800 carbon loking better than this one

  • Hey You cant understand this style phones because this phone for just business mans .business mans are not looking for much property . they are looking for just design . this phones have best design.. thats why ......

  • It is a shame that nokia did not make even a step ahead for its luxury class of mobile through the yers - the 8TH series. In the past when the first 2 phones were represented, they were spectacular - 8810 and 8850. Both of the models look better than all the new ones and that is the tragedy for the brand. I can not understand why ? Come on designers make a luxury phone with some new shape, design or some eye-captive possibility. It is not fair about the customers.

  • how much is this phone?

  • these phones hav no good specifications but shape and glamour...who will wanna buy such expensive phone when there is no wifi and camera is 3.15mp only...Duhh!!! we can buy n series phone with wifi and at least 5 mp camera with even half of price of it...keep your eyes open while buying phone..this is just to show off other wise no cool thing in it.

  • i like this gold color but it doesn't has Gem!!!

  • I am waiting for it. I am using the 8800 shaphire art It is really really cool. Oh man once u hold it never wanna leave it

  • this phone waade for rich people

  • i think thay made it for situacions when u need some fast cash

  • i have this phone and this is not another than sapphiere

  • lol very very loud another phone which the chinesse will have out even before nokia release it, look forward to a new range of counterfits thank you nokia

  • very attractive for the eye cellphone snatchers.. :))

  • well vertu is more expensive then this phone and that u dont think is a waste of money plus vertu is heavier then this phone

  • Just 3.5 hours of Talk Time??? Whats going on? In Todays world of mobile phone use, thats farely low. U need minimum 5-6 hours of talk time. After paying a fortune for this beauty, this talk time sure is a draw back.

  • Well it will be an eye candy for thieves! hehehe!

  • This is a show off phone, people who buy it don't care about the specs, it looks fabulous and you can text and call with it, nuf said...

  • 6600s is better overall. This Gold Arte is ugly.

  • nokiaa is getting expensiveeeeeeee ....... they need to they need to slow down .......

  • Another show-off phone for the soccer players in BG lol :)

  • Not even worth it...why do people actually buy these things. I work at a cell phone place and I don't recommend this because its a WASTE OF MONEY. Wow, I'm starting to hate these phones

  • piece of creep, this phone will cost a fortune and for those money you can by 5 other that are 5 times better then this one.

  • its 2 sexy look 8800 gold arte.? But featuer is dal..no memory is extendable.and camera is just 3mp? So sad nokia. Make new review 8800 gold. Make standable memory oppation, and 10m.p camera,and dont use any leather.

  • Very pretty Phone but too expensive

  • super telefon

  • Uh oh , now Nokia is going to be complacent like Motorola . Remember the RAZR , Now it is an army of mobiles . Hope Nokia would be innovative , The N97 is a good step in the Touchscreen an QWERTY Revolution . Keep that up , Don't lose out .

  • The design isn't poor, it's dull, because it's the same with sapphire, and... what the heck... the functions are the same with carbon, 4 gb intern memory, and s60 software... so... don't be bad, he is not ugly. just boring ;)

  • non vvorth but if you have ex money then bey it arte simple is best raff and taff.

  • sexy slik hot like vertu gold i have vertu

  • ouch! such an ugly phone; appearance is not good

  • ugly...

  • this fone damn nice! want it!!

  • very nice, a golden mobile. Really like it but considering the situation of many people now, maybe a little to far. Let us spend the money we should spend for that mobile to people who need food to survival. But anyhow a very nice mobile.

  • is it really gold =..="?

  • This is a new handphone with no WLAN and infrared port,and the camera is poor.

  • LOL. Another Arte phone. This is definitely not a phone for the average joe.

  • awesome

  • nope this phone is helpful.if you need cash you can pawn it....

  • this is cool telephone ;P

  • this phone has no wifi and it has a poor desighn.

  • The people who are most likely to buy this phone are those people who are in the social class as Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Mariah Carey, those people who have hundred millions of dollars in their bank accounts!

  • Why they release such type of phones . they should work on specificationbut not on the look

  • wow! im getting it once its released in australia!

  • dudes i dont like it!!!!!!!!!!!!! its u.g.l.y... u aint got no alliby u ugly hey hey u ugly... lol

  • buy such a luxury phone, just make sure don't loose it or get snatched or your're just gonna like throwing just small amount of money about 2000plus US dollars. wel it does not have that nice features except its material made. for rich @$$ people this is a good gift for your fiance, just dont make sure your not busted. ahah LOLZ

  • World wide crisis, but not for everybody it seems. A waste of natural resources, no innovation. And for shame that Nokia doesn't give a damn about normal people or the envirement

  • beautiful

  • This one is should be called the 8800 Ugly Arte! Wonder when the Diamond Arte will be available, too expensive though at US$6,000.!

  • OMG I like! I gonna buy (money is no problem).
