you still dont get my point!
some people in this World dont want Phones like the N-Series which are basically Laptops with Sim Card holders..non of that is cool this 8800 Arte redefines coolness and Money! i mean its made of Stainless Steel(Unlike N95's Plastic) and this Arte has proper Slider Design and Unique Design which is soo Nicee..and Bling! and has no Wi-Fi or any of those useless features. 8800 Arte is a Phone to be seen with .not a Phone to be Playing with! ...get it ?

you can actually acquire yourself an original leather case (such as like Vertu's) or the normal cotton cases that cost you less than SGD$10,-(look like babies' socks), which can help you in "cleaning off" your finger prints.
BUT, if you still too afraid to have this Arte because of the finger prints issue, go and get yourself Arte Sapphire, as half of the mobile will be cover on real leather but please don't comment on the price (Real leather + sapphire are quite expensive you know).
as for attracts dust,.......until now i can't see this mobile attracts anything else apart from admiration.
but again, it's up to the people whether they think they want to buy this mobile, using it, AND willing to pay for it. otherwise, please do not comment negatively against this mobile if you're not the actual users.
no offence,
cheers

Does anyone know how much this phone will cost in the UK where I am? One thing is for sure, it's not going to be cheap, previous 8800s weren't cheap either but i wanted to know approximately?
And also I read from the specs http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_8800_arte-2175.php that it won't have memory card slot, the box opening video I saw http://blog.gadgetlite.com/?p=497 didn't show any memory cards either so can someone clarify for me if there really isn't going to be variations of this phone with card slot like the new N95 blacks?
Thanks guys!

"if u wanna be a high roller buy a goldvish phone its 1.3 mil if u wondering". cool remark, except i can't think of how the negative percentages if we're actually discussing this product against the positive ones.
after all, some people think that we, the users of this mobile, crazy to pay its price for this arte. :)

mxNd, thx dear. :)
ok, as the ownership of this babe on third day, yeah, like someone on this forum, the .swf is not exactly working, although it is supposed to be flash animation background(or wallpaper).
the battery wise, it's matching up with my xda. it means that i need to recharge it once a day. but hey, it attracts lots of attentions yesterday when the mobile rings (in the middle of orchard road, and that says something). the quality of the sound is remarkable, very distinguish, and rich. it's like to compare output sound from BOSS with other ordinary speakers.
except of thinking getting a spare battery for this baby, i can see myself sticking to this mobile for quite long.
happy new year ahead everyone ^^

This phone may be attractive, ,with the beautiful OLED display, the exotic metal and expensive glass used to make this phone, but the price is not worth it!
I can buy an SE K850 with the most expensive accessories and with better features and I still wouldn't be able to match the price of this phone. Has Nokia gone crazy? There are cheaper and more exotic phones out there at a more cheaper price.
Nokia- thanks a lot for release such an expensive, featureless, stupid phone.
Nokia has become a worser company!
Why is Nokia trying to turn away all of its loyal customers?!
First, the n95, and n82 would the horrific battery life and now this. Why doesn't Nokia ever release a decent, and well-balanced phone?! This just doesn't make sense at all!

How is the Nokia 8800 Arte compared to the Nokia n82? Which phone is better? Obviously,the n82 has more functionality, although it lacks design. Besides making phone calls, what is so good about the 8800 Arte?

this phone is great .
this phone ROCKS more then sirocco.bought in in sg for 1.8kSGD.damn friggin expendsive BUT ITS WELL WORTH IT.for 8600 luna price is startin to go down. i bought it last time at 1.2k now its sellin at 1k.thats almost 20 percent depression.just think.material wise, i would say luna's smoke glass is real nice and its num pads blinking in and out ---- thats pretty cool.
for 8800 arte its a mixture of glass and metal u can feel the weight, the elegance and u dont want to put it down.this , is better then luna.
comparing arte to sirocco, sirocco's black is uncomparable to arte and arte IS ALOT DIFF FROM BOTH SIROCCO AND LUNA.sirocco black is rather bulkly and not as elegance, and suck in batt , cam , display , sound , etc.sirocco gold?dont talk about it, its worst.
well, i am looking forward to peek at the new sapphire , i asked the shopkeeper when i bought my arte and he told me its gonna cost 2k+ SGD ( 1 usd to 1.4 sgd ) well, its leather-coated and saphhire in the middle=D
but i guess i'll stick to arte.
so which is better? the arte obviously.

i got this phone from a phone shop.. i knew the owner very well.. she ordered 10 of these but they only agreed to release 2 to her.. one of which i bought.. the price is 1,150USD.. the battery life is somewhat better.. it only comes with one battery.. the battery life is good for 6 hours of media and there would still be 25% or less left.. no bad i would say..
