Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition Premium Luxury Phone Announced
Tue Sep 05, 2006 12:19 pm
Nokia today unveiled its latest premium mobile phone, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition. Intuitively beautiful by design, the Sirocco Edition's signature feature is a thumbprint, which perfectly matches the human hand. The soundtrack of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition was composed by the avant-garde musical pioneer Brian Eno, considered the "father of ambient music."
The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition draws its name from the powerful desert-born wind that originates in the Sahara when a warm, dry air mass collides with the cooler, maritime air of the Mediterrean. The organic shape of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition references the strength of the human form, a concept further implied by stainless steel polished surfaces and a scratch-resistant glass display window. Like its namesake, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition consists of two variants - light and dark, the light inspired by the hot, dry air mass, the dark by the cooler, humid one.

And as it blows, the powerful sirocco makes its own unique sound - a composition from nature caused by two air masses colliding. With nature as his inspiration, Brian Eno, the world renowned music composer and ambient music innovator, has created a unique 'sonic texture' that is organic, calm and highly evolved. It has an otherworldly feel - comprised of notes created by instruments that Eno has selected and 'synthesized' himself.
The stainless steel case of the Sirocco Edition is treated in such a way as to give the device a unique feel. Functionality is created through craftsmanship, using techniques drawn from master watchmakers and jewellers. From the sapphire coating of the 262K-color display to the distinctive slide mechanism which reveals its 2-megapixel camera, or even its extended battery life, every minor detail of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition is honed.
The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition also features a complementary Bluetooth headset. This wireless earpiece is also composed of stainless steel, and perfectly matches the nature-inspired Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition.
The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition is now available in select markets, with an estimated retail price of EUR 1000, before taxes or subsidies.

- Exclusive sounds in AAC quality, made by Brian Eno
