![]() Nokia had us fooled two days ago when they lured us with the prospect of winning their latest premium phone by guessing an element that “endures the passage of time” and “is coveted for its style and elegance”. Our editorial team spurted guesses of “gold”, “water” and even “love”. It turned out that the answer was carbon, and the phone was the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte. We’re still grouchy about our loss so we would like to say the phone isn’t exactly made of carbon, but a mixture of carbon fibre, titanium, polished glass and stainless steel. It features 3D patterns that bring out the lustre of carbon fibre and is also light (150g), touch sensitive, and has an OLED display and a built-in memory of 4GB! The tri-band premium phone also has anti-fingerprint coating and an all-in-one microUSB connector. What is interesting is that you can tap it twice and a clock appears on the screen, or turn it face down to silence it.
Of course, it also has Bluetooth 2.0, a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera and 3G capabilities. The phone debuts in 3Q at a TBA price. Trackback(0)
