Nokia 8800 Arte review

Stainless steel and OLED screen: there's no way a handset with that kind of features will ever blend in with the crowd of handsets. Add the hefty price tag and you got the high-end biting the dust too, just like that. But then, there's always someone like us to ruin the pleasure. Poking and prying, finding out if it's worth your dime. Wait a minute, did we say dime?! Sorry, we got carried away. Can't help it with the Nokia 8800 Arte.

Key features

* Looks
* Body made of the highest-quality materials
* 2" 16M color OLED display with QVGA resolution
* 3G
* 3 megapixel camera with autofocus
* Full-house retail package
* Decent battery life
* Fingerprint resistant surface on the back
* Turn-to-mute
* Magic clock
* Large internal memory
* Series 40 5th edition user interface

Main disadvantages

* Poor legibility under direct sunlight
* Tri-band only
* No memory expansion
* Smallish display
* Expensive, believe it or not


Nokia has long stuck a pole into the ground of premium lifestyle. Ever since the original Nokia 8800 saw the light of day, the Finnish-based company has been the first choice for phones made of exclusive, highest quality materials. Exquisite and beautifully crafted, the 88xx series handsets will get away with anything, be it their underperformance or exorbitant price.

Nokia 8800 Arte will face the greatest amount of competition inside its own pack, with every other 88xx-series handset a potential rival. Looks will be the weapons of choice, although the Arte duo has an ace up their sleeve in terms of functionality too.

The Finland giant Nokia silently released the highly expected and speculated Nokia N82 Black version. The phone appeared nowhere else but in the USA Nokia online store with an "Unlocked" status. The sleek Nokia N82 Black version is already available for purchase at a price of $629.00 with free shipping for USA.
Let's refresh your memory with the Nokia N82 main features, starting with the HSDPA with video calls and quad-band GSM support. The 100MB of integrated memory is complemented by the microSD memory slot. The 2.4" 16M color QVGA TFT display is among the other highlights.

Nokia N82, is pretty much identical in hardware to the N95. It has 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics, capable of capturing 30fps MPEG4 videos at VGA resolution, and has a TV-out port to watch those on your TV set.

Nokia 6555 3G-enabled handset:Review

The two quality displays and great keypad provide for comfortable handling, while 3G support adds to the excitement with this elegantly tall and sleek clamshell.

Key features
. Stylish slender clamshell
. High-quality 2-inch QVGA 16M color TFT display
. Comfortable keyboard
. UMTS and EDGE support
. microSD memory card support up to 4 GB
. Good music player
. Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP profile
. microUSB connector and 2.5mm jack
Main disadvantages
. Shiny surfaces suffer fingertips
. Loose hinge and the "cracking" back cover
. Only 1.3 megapixel camera with rather basic interface
. Memory card slot under the battery
. No FM radio
. No video calls support
. microUSB port is still not widely popular
. No headphones and memory card in the retail package

Nokia 6555 is a midrange 3G-enabled handset, joining the clamshell ranks of the Finnish company. The form factor inevitably brings back memories of the likeable push-to-open Nokia 6131. Nokia 6555 lacks the auto-open functionality but the 3G support is one of the strong points of this stylish clamshell.

Slender black

The first thing about Nokia 6555 to sure make an impression is its elongated silhouette. Compared to 6131, Nokia 6555 is 8 mm taller and 4 mm narrower, keeping the same thickness. The actual dimensions are 99.6 x 44.3 x 19.6 mm, at a weight of 97 g. We are testing the black variety, but Nokia 6555 is also available in sliver, red and beige. The colors only vary on both the front and rear framing; the middle glossy sections on the face and the back of the handset are always black. Enclosed in handsome chrome-colored accents, they do contribute to the stylish looks and feel of the device, but are critically prone to fingerprints.

40% share Of Mobile Phone Market goes to Nokia

Nokia remains the leading phone maker in the world, but its increase in market share from 36% in the fourth quarter of 2006 to 40% in the fourth quarter of last year is due to because of substantial growth in the Middle East and Africa, and modest growth in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, the phone maker said.

In North America, Nokia's market share dropped to 5.1% in the fourth quarter, compared with 5.9% in the same period in 2006. The phone maker recently said it will roll out six to 12 new phones specifically for the U.S. market this year in order to regain its North American market share. For example, Nokia already announced that it will begin selling the 8-GB version of its N95 multimedia phone in the United States.
