Description
What's the best way to sell a $1700 cell phone? Exclusivity. And the Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte oozes exclusive like that pile of green goo in Ghostbusters. Allusions aside, the Sapphire Arte continues the trend of the 8800 series (the trend being expensive candy bar devices with a sliding keypad cover) with a stainless steel and glass casing, anti-fingerprint coating, a touch-sensitive area, "turn-to-mute", and a set Sapphire gem. But these are just the little touches that add to the exclusivity. Gadget freaks will more likely appreciate the inclusion of 3G, 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, and 1 gigabyte of internal memory. Alas, battery life is a mere 3 hours even with a high-powered 1000 mAh battery.
