I don't think 8800 will depreciate, as with all 8xxx series, they have kept their prices. It's all these new phones that lose price, you know the ones with all the features under the sun?
8800 is 2.5 years old now I think. But still it doesn't justify using animal parts for our luxury. It's terrible. F U Nokia.

why use ivory? animal rights activists aren't going to be happy about this.... the phone isn't worth it anyway. i mean, why pay 23k bucks for a useless phone with little functions? another thing, with technology improving by the minute, 8800 would be one of those phones sitting in museums before you know it. It's not worth to make luxury items out of products that depreciates over time.

Stupid. Period!

The use of Ivory is meant to be internationally illegal, but I'm sure you've already seen how some parts of Asia get away with things...

Looks like crap. And WTF, why the hell use ivory? I'm not happy about that too. Mean mofos!
Also, won't the sweat of the user spoil it or something? Those morons.

@brooklyn - too right i'm not happy about that being ivory.

what is the point, in using ivory for such things??? just use bloody god damn metal - and that phone too truely sucks - have they thought about the radiation etc. that might change with a different cover? or the fact that this phone may over heat?...no - and the reason for that is that they are not going to be used every day!
