Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition
12 April 2006 by axxxr Aston Martin and Nokia officially announce the Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition.
This exclusive iteration of the Nokia 8800 will be manufactured in strictly limited numbers, and features a discrete laser-etched 'Aston Martin' logo on the stainless steel casing. This is complemented by the words so synonymous with Aston Martin, 'Power, Beauty & Soul’, etched into the Nokia 8800's unique stand-alone charging station, plus elegantly-designed packaging bearing the Aston Martin wings. The Nokia 8800 is Nokia's flagship phone, an elegant combination of the best quality materials and high technology. Beautifully proportioned, the Nokia 8800 feels right in the hand, whether open or closed. The slender stainless steel slider case has a weighty, machined feel, with the polished and brushed metal casing, juxtaposed with surgical-quality resin and finished with processes usually used in watch-making, offers a uniquely tactile experience. The bistable spring mechanism used in the sliding feature, which opens to reveal a concealed camera, uses ball-bearings more commonly found in high-performance cars, appropriately enough. Sliding open the phone is a precise and smooth movement takes just a fraction of a second. The colour display is protected by a specially toughened glass screen, adding to the premium feel. The Technology In addition to the Nokia 8800's standard ring tones, which were created for the phone by award-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition comes loaded with a selection of exclusive Aston Martin content, including a short documentary film, striking wallpapers featuring the company's current range, a screensaver based on the famous crystal starter button found in all Aston Martin models, and ring tones that sample the evocative roar of the Vantage's (380 horsepower) V8 engine. The Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition will cost £800 excluding VAT. It is available now from Aston Martin Dealers and via: astonmartin online.

Dont think i can say the same about the phone though.... On 15 Apr 20:59 AfzalAizaz wrote its already a nice phone.but affiliation with Aston Martin Group has made it a more "WORTHY".I m a fan of both...so already being a proud owner of 8800 i feel i must have this cell. ... On 15 Apr 20:34 AamirAliBilal wrote Simply AWESOME!!! Must have one On 15 Apr 19:55 Ollie wrote I've disagree with people saying the 8800 is a rubbish phone. I have had one since it's launch and i always get people commenting on what a great phone it is and how good it looks. It hasn't got a huge amount of features but i think it beats the sh!t out of any p series phone i have ever owned, and i've had them all so far. This version is tacky and pointless but the 8800 is a wicked, exclusive phone!!!!!

On 15 Apr 12:02 Xugaa wrote maybe a sh!t phone, but definatley not a sh!t car company... but then all nokia's look cheap and crap, all a cemented turd, this is not doing justice for aston. On 15 Apr 01:14 CurMurdar wrote Sh!t phone. On 14 Apr 20:33 JabbatheSlut wrote Tacky, tacky, tacky - it will most likely be back and forth to the workshop to have problems smoothed out like most Astons! James Bond would jab himself in the leg with the poisoned shoe tip if he was real! On 14 Apr 15:44 aliman wrote Damm! thats a bloody smart phone. Wont one. As big AM fan. On 13 Apr 18:10 Xugaa wrote nooooooo! a humiliation to one of the greatest car companies in the world... not nokia surely!? On 12 Apr 23:37 hasnaz wrote Ermm.. I'm not sure, it looks kinda tacky to be honest and does not justify an £800 price tag. Of the silver, black and now A.M. variations, I still think the original silver one looks the best - which is what this phone is all about. The only people that should even consider maybe thinking about becoming interested in buying one should be those who actually own an A.M. even then they will look like idiots. You don't need to shove a name/label in someone's face, you will get a better reaction when someone notices you have an 8800 if you keep and use it discreetly. Just my $0.02 On 12 Apr 22:53 marky wrote damm that phone was cool nar itz just 2 cool 4 school, ameen, mate just look et it a recken itz tha best lookin phone art shame it aint on pay as tha guz init!!! |
