      Mate of mine had the 8800 and when I played with it I was ... disappointed. But that's because I'm a nerd who reads the GSMA RSS feed on his phone during his daily commute! :--p

      8800 felt like quality in the hand and was loaded with a theme that made it look the part. This looks like a continuation of that trend, and I have to say I don't see Samsung, HTC, LG or Apple even making an attempt here. Once again, for better or worse, Nokia is out there seeking a market that others just don't bother with.

          The care about the exclusivity and prestige.

          So much of the comments expressed here are point less...

          Is like having a Basic Rolex or a Premium Rolex...who cares if they are the same...you got premium because you can afford :D

            This is just a C7 in gold. I wonder if it also comes with the purple screen defect found on the C7.

                I know it's an expensive device, but for all that cash couldn't Nokia at least have put some colors into the icons? Or would that have made the phone more expensive? Lol... lmao!!!

                  I have to say... for a handset made out of gold, it's actually tasteful. I feel dirty saying that, but it actually looks pretty nice.

                          Aaron, 25 May 2011This is a much better luxury phone than those 8800 series ... moreBit your tongue!! lol. The 8800 in its day was THE coolest thing ever and was a real premium phone. Not about features.. just money and style. A phone would have to be $2500 today to compare imho..

                            LOL at some of the comments here. You think those who buy such phones care about OS or features?!
                            No. They, in case of this phone, only care about these :

                            18-carat gold plating
                            Sapphire crystal and leather materials

                            That's it. They want something that goes with their gold watch and rolls royce car.
                            Here is a list of some other official gold phones:

                            Nokia N97 mini Gold Edition
                            Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition
                            Samsung I8910 HD Gold Edition
                            Nokia 8800 Gold Arte
                            Motorola Aura Diamond Edition
                            Sony Ericsson Jalou D&G edition

                              Next will be iPhone in color GOLD.

                                  what's the point of a premium design if the software inside is worth noting?

                                        Is this what Nokia traded 8XXX series for. It is C7 after all.
