The Nokia 8800 Sirocco get its name from the powerful desert-born wind that originates in the Sahara (North Africa). when a warm, dry air mass collides with the cooler, maritime air of the Mediterrean. The organic shape of the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition suppose to reference the "strength" of the human form, a concept further implied by stainless steel polished surfaces and a scratch-resistant glass display window. The 8800 Sirocco consisted of two variants - light and dark, the light inspired by the hot, dry air mass, the dark by the cooler, humid one. Now the newest addition to the sirocco family has arrived in the shape and name of nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold Edition. which looks to bring everything the previous two additions had and more.
The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Limited Edition Gold comes with 18-carat gold plating. it comes in stylish golden color further enhanced by white gold trimming, thus creating a truly luxurious piece of mobile device. The product also comes with a Bluetooth headset of matching design.
If Vanity is your thing or you want to show off this mobile device is for you. Other wise it doesnt have much to offer in the way of technology no 3G, no WLAN, no infrared port, or USB. It has GPRS at 40kbps which is good enough for this phone. it also does have a Mp3/Acc player but what good it is with only a 100+ mb of storage? compared to everything else thats in the marking with over 2GB expandable memory cards. Talk time on this phone is pretty low as well. Over all the only credit i can give this thing is its ability to attract buyers. if it didnt have the Nokia i would never guess that Nokia would make a device for such a high price which is so lacking in technology. Nokia is known for its cutting egde technology and innovative design. I'll give this phone the innovative design points but as far as technology goes this phone doesnt compare you can spend as much or even less and get yourself a Nokia N95 now thats something
