    New Nokia Sirocco GOLD Edition - the real deal?

    We know that some asian dealers sell golden parts for the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition, but this time NOKIA brought up an own golden Edition.

    At ebay.de appeared this auction which proclaims an original Gold Edition from Nokia Germany.



    http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...5908&rd=1&rd=1

    So, what do you say? The real deal?

    I was talking about a Sirocco Edition, not about the Classic.

    But for example in Germany, 3 from 4 networks sell the Dark Edition and ebay is selling the Dark Edition in masses, that's why the Light Edition - which was cheaper at first - has become rarer than the Dark and is more famous and eye catching.

    Yes.. it's real. The gold edition is already available in Singapore. You can get the set at S$1840 (approx. US$1200).

    Hi,
    here's what I got from the Seller at ebay.
    The phone slid up.



    Even the keypad is golden. If I had the money...

    *runs to Nokia service point, puts 1200€ on the table...*

    NOKIA PRESS RELEASE April 16, 2007

    Created by nature, perfected by Nokia: The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold


    Highly desirable handset dressed in 18-carat gold plating

    Espoo, Finland - Inspired by nature, and one of its most beautiful elements, gold, Nokia today unveiled the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold - a bold and prestigious new style statement. Encased in a luxurious 18-carat gold plating, the precisely crafted Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold combines timeless design with a contemporary flair, resulting in an exclusive display of personal style and elegance. The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold is now available in select markets, with an estimated retail price of EUR 1000, before taxes or subsidies.

    "The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold is set to continue Nokia's strong legacy in exclusive and highly desirable style accessories," explains Heikki Norta, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold remains true to the "form follows function" mantra of Nokia designers and engineers - a tradition built upon decades of experience in mobility."

    Combining its heritage of highly desired communication devices with organic designs inspired by surfaces found in nature, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold pays artful attention to the smallest details and selection of materials. A stunning achievement of craftsmanship, fine white gold accents enhance the 18-carat gold plating while the sapphire-coated, scratch-resistant glass display helps to ensure that the beauty of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold endures.

    Created with a dedication to perfection, the crafting of each Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold draws from techniques mastered over hundreds of years by watchmakers and jewelers. A smooth sliding mechanism reveals a high-resolution camera (2 Megapixel) and the intuitive and ergonomic keypad. Further "inner beauty" highlights of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold include a stunning color screen (up to 262K colors), and a wide array of messaging functionalities. The elegance of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold is also complemented by a coordinating desk stand and color-matching Bluetooth headset.

    The Sirocco wind - originating in the Sahara desert - serves as the inspiration to the design and naming of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold. The harmonious blend of the strength and beauty of nature is the theme for the extire Nokia 8800 Sirocco line.

    There they go...

    If it was a Motorola all hell will break loose and everyone will be falling over each other just to take a swipe at 'em sreaming about only 2mpx cam... no wifi... no Symbian... no jet propulsion, rocket launcher, no life-saver laser to battle Darth Vader when I land on Mars... on the phone and blah, blah, blah....

    Meanwhile this ain't even got a video and like 99 other phone features but hey... it's a Nokia so lets all praise it... remain dumb and pay out our noses just so we can say... oops... really nothing to say actually.

    just so weird...

    You would look like you had a gold bar to your ear. I still prefer the black version.

    A terrible looking version of a severely lacking phone.

    There you can see who really looks for functionality and who looks for style - cause a person who owns an 6233 and a K610i won't look for style but for functionality.
    Meanwhile there are persons who really love phones who have a line management like Mercedes have.

    I don't usually like gold things, but this does look very very nice indeed.

    Why do you have to buy it? It looks so tacky! And lets not get started on the features of the phone, or lack of them!

    Because usually, when I like something, I buy it. It doesn't matter if you think it's tacky, because I find it good looking. And for the features, I have the N95 and this would not be my main phone.
