Nokia 8800 - original and new

The phone-slider among mobile devices has always been considered something special. Often such a device was bought to support the style. On the other hand, developers fully supported this idea, completing sliders with an expanded set of functions, features, entertainment.

And if you divide phones into segments, the sliders in their bulk belonged to the premium. If there was any good development in this segment, the slider could have stayed out of business. But there was simply no development that could make him a good competitor.

In 2005, when it became clear that the form factor of the slider was gaining momentum, Nokia released its version. So the Nokia 8800 appeared. The model has a two-inch color display, support for mp3, which is completely incomprehensible with a minimum amount of memory, a phone book for 500 records and a camera for 0.5 megapixels. No memory cards.

Design and equipment

In the closed position, we see only the monitor under the glass. The lower functional part is covered with a metal casing. In this case, the metal is not indicated for the sake of advertising. The case is thick enough. The speaker and light decorative grid under the glass slightly protrude, therefore, putting the phone face down, it is impossible to scratch the screen - the device will lie on these two points.

In addition to the phone and charging, the box contains a software disc, an instruction and a wireless headset. Interest is in the velvet bag and of the same material, a cloth for rubbing. The headset is mono, but the owner has the ability to connect any other headset through a standard socket located at the bottom, near the charging hole. This arrangement of the nests is not accidental: when opening, the Nokia 8800 "shoots" upwards, opening access to the keyboard and function keys. The pocket is designed so that in the opened position, by extending upwards, the key block is in the middle of the front panel. The set of keys is standard - 12 keys and a call, or reset. Although all the keys are hidden under the glass, at the same time you can take the call in the closed position by pressing the soft-key, which is located on the right side of the case.

The keys are small, translucent white light, which evenly illuminates the entire keyboard. Only one language is readable on them, so for localization Nokia 8800 will require to replace the alphanumeric unit.

Other modifications - Arte and Sirocco

A year later, in 2006, the engineers of the company introduced a new version. The main difference was the design of the new model, or rather, the slightly modified front panel, under which the numeric keypad hides. 8800 Nokia original had a small groove, in the form of a repeating joystick below it. The new development received a deeper hollow, and in addition, recycled ringtones, a 2 megapixel camera and radio support. In addition, the Bluerooth - headset BH-801 was added, the case became leather. But the main difference, which was noted immediately after the appearance of the new model - a battery of greater capacity. The keyboard of the new development has also undergone certain changes. The keys did not do any more, but they were lined up (by rows) and solved the issue of localization. English font slightly moved to the right. To the left of the figure, which also moved, located a localized layout. Pretty funny effect: if the original layout is made in a line - localized lined up with a cube. The new development received the name Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition.

Color solutions. Sirocco and not only

Like its predecessor, this edition received two versions - dark and light. The reviews note both black and steel execution. Naturally, later this model received other performances. The original Nokia comes from German factories, so most of the other color solutions are fake versions produced in Asian countries.

The disadvantage of both solutions is marchiness. The machine easily leaves fingerprints. We have to constantly wipe, but taking the device next time in the hands - you have to wipe again.

In conclusion, the theme of color design should be mentioned about the version that received the code name Nokia 8800 Siroccogold. A steel glass of this edition has gold plating. This phone was released in the amount of only 1000 copies.

A little coal

Finland, under a license from the Germans, also produced improved cult designs for the 8800. Models produced by the Finns were codenamed Arte. In this case, Arte two variations, the oldest and the youngest. The older one, besides sapphire spraying on the glass (which all 8800 can boast of), also got an artificial sapphire crystal on the case, which gave the name of the Sapphire Arte version. Almost immediately after the release of the younger version received a modification of the Nokia 8800 Carbon Edition.

In addition to the outer case, which uses carbon fiber, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel, the device has 4 GB of music and, at the time, a good player. Since there is no memory card, you can find a cable for communication with a computer.

Conclusion

Even in the current age of smartphones Nokia 8800 will remain a cult version. Line 88, although it received a lot from other models of the brand, nevertheless became a kind of difference. Although it has a rich external decoration, but apart from that, there is nothing to brag about. However, calls and SMS provided this phone. To be fair, it's worth noting that for phones from Nokia it does not necessarily have to be super-smart to call well.
