Review of Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte
Mobile-review have posted their review of the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte. Here is their final impression.
It'd seem that the Carbon Arte is nothing to shout about, being just another iteration of the timeless 8800 design. However, for some people in its target audience this solution has what it takes to become their most beloved phone. It's a stunning offering that has all the makings of a luxury item, plus it's been designed by the world's leading phone maker. All these things put the Carbon Arte above all other fashion-savvy offerings out there. Don't even think of comparing it with Mobiado - these tasteless and lackluster phones are no match to the new 8800 Carbon. Also, let's try to overlook the fact that all Mobiado do is dress up Nokia's mid-end phones into the same aluminum casing over and over again.
Another thing of note about the Carbon Arte is that Nokia have turned to the ecological aspects of phone making. That is, they are now emphasizing the fact that all their phones are made of completely safe materials - coming with the Carbon Arte is a lengthy list of substances it doesn't have. At the end of the day, it's another argument aimed to persuade people with enough cash on their hands that the 8800 Carbon is truly special in every way.
The bottom line on the Nokia Carbon Arte is this. If you are looking for top-notch fashion-savvy phone, than look no further. Moreover, it won't be that much steeper than the Nokia 8800 Arte in Europe, so there is absolutely no point in going for the original Arte, since some 150 Euro will buy you a Vertu-grade phone, and in this way the Carbon Arte is beyond competition. Another thing all prospective users of the Nokia 8800 Carbon will be pleased to know is that Nokia don't have a habit of dropping prices for their premium solutions, so this handset will never get beyond a very narrow and privileged circle of owners.
If I was to imagine where the Arte series would go next, I'd say that Nokia should probably release a milky-white phone with some fancy signature symbol either on its front or rear panel, plus it should be coated in enamel, allowing for various color schemes. Even though these are only my speculations, who knows, maybe we'll see a couple of phones like this some time in February.
