Nokia 8800 Arte Carbon unboxing

[mrsimple311]

most expensive phone of Nokia until now. Don't know why because of it's carbon cover???

[EdiownedU]

yes but will it blend ?

[yassinalter]

guys...you got to undestand....what the price means is.......when you se me take this phone out of my pocket......that means....i have some 1500usd to much in my capital....so its just to show your fortune.....and YEAH>>....i like it..

[yassinalter]

i bought it 2 years ago for 1300 usd

[yassinalter]

yeah...thats right...have the 8800 ....just look at the movies...transporter...crank..­..etc.......allways nokia 8800....its a LUXE mobile phone...you pay for the DESIGN and thwe NAME....i think this mobile is awesome...

[AdamBoy64]

I like the dock that comes with it. I wish more phones had docks... They're really convenient.

This looks like a really neat phone..

I wonder if Nokia will make any other premium grade phones in the future.

[FigaroCigaro]

Comme sense is for common folks. So, go ahead and buy your iPhone 4 and 4S fan boys. High end phone users (Nokia, Vertu, etc) buy such phones because #1) they have the means to do so #2) wish to be different from the mass and #3) don't care about games (i.e. angry birds), they call and receive calls.

[Olegsha777]

My computer doesn't see usb when I connect 8800 arte to it.

Please help if you know how to fix it

[FlipperHD]

omg on play.com the nokia 8800 is £699.98 WTF?

[eurotrashgti]

@FlipperHD Crazy huh.

I got one of these for free a couple of years ago when my mom worked for tmobile and tested their new phones. I had NO IDEA what it was, or how much it was worth lol! I believe I took a dremel to the outer shell to give it a brushed aluminum look lol. ruined it and threw it away.

[MrBarney714]

how much is it in the us

[TheGorillaPen]

Hi great video.

What signs shod i look aftner to tell the difrens behtween a relica and a Real deal ?

[rollerfan222]

this is so james bond

[nathanfiorano1]

the craftsman ship is amazing since i know someone who has one a really brilliant array of materials used

[elliswhitworth]

Rubbish dated piece of crap, the software is basic, can't believe this is more expensive then my iPhone 4

[leodee]

@elliswhitworth Yes but the phone and the video are over 2 years old!

[FoundingNemo]

@elliswhitworth this is a phone for a rich old person, not a stupid teen/young adult like yourself. a phone like this requires someone with a certain taste and class. Clearly and iphone bandwagon person like yourself will not understand.

[TheFedorPunch]

@elliswhitworth at some point you are right, but if you drop you iphone three times, it will break, but you drop this nokia 10 times , it will not brake. This nokia is just simple phone that does not do blowjob like the iphone and some others. it is just classic .

[vboiz7]

@elliswhitworth That is because the phone it slef is made from expensive materials.

[sithu04]

@elliswhitworth i also wondering why iphone 4 is 3times ipod touch 4g while only upgrades are phone function, 5mp camera and ips screen and 256mb more ram. it should hav been twice the price of itouch. but hey iphone users has no brain anyway and so apple can easily cheat u

[Thevacationholiday]

Which is the best saphire, arte, carbon ,or sirocco?

[TheDiamond123123]

This phone is used in the movie "Crank" from 2006.

Maby that's why it's expensive, I dunno...

[kaloyanbojkov]

the phone itself is good... but the problems are 2

1, it costs REALLY much

2. It isnt tuch , doesnt have wi fi or newest settings tuch has .... and all others cost less...

I AM NT A CRITIST BUT THIS PHONE FOR ME IS SH**

[EartotheSTREETzzz]

China Phone-

[sasafeda]

the phone is not very functional: it has no headphone jack, no micro sd slot

[Puz1r]

ANd how much of cabon is used in this nokia ? 30 grams ?

[KatiushaVN4]

made by Nokia (made in China)

[unleashedr]

wow just seen the price on this peace of junk on amazon, its madness, why is it soo much, i could buy a 3d tv instead

[takuya124]

the brown bronze version how much is that worth? :O

[curjam]

One of the best looking phones all time!

[567aky]

NICE PHONE

[oranges27]

To those whom have owned this phone and the original 8800, which do you prefer in quality, style, and functionality?

[8888CoolM8888]

it looks like a 50 $ phone at max , i mean the softwear sucks , they couldnt even make the nokia start up screen not to lag

[YOUCANNOTDENY]

The Arte and Sapphire Arte are basically the same, and the Carbon Arte and Gold Arte are basically the same. But the Carbon and Gold version have better specs than the other models. Doesn't a Sapphire gem cost more than plating a phone with gold or carbon fiber?

[oongi96]

why is this phone soooooo expensive

i think it's crap!!!!!

[GSDZ1CJX]

Great video ,wholelae or buy same items at ChineseShopOnlinecom

get yours today .

[nformby]

Utterly beautiful. Really is just an amazingly crafted phone. The specs are low but, who really cares? Thumbs up!

[JUNAID187]

dont buy these brand new ! they will get devalued massivly once you open them. they cost 1 grand brand new but you can get em for around 150 pounds on ebay. the 24carrot or 18carrot gold plated ones are nicer and better and around the same price.

[cssful]

Got this for 700€ straight from Nokia here in finland (:

[theartofluv]

over price.

[flipgangsta16]

can you tell me if this phone would work in america for sure? california specifically? -thank you

[spacemanmad]

IT'S ABOUT 1500€

[Kirchroa88]

I bought it on ebay for 120 euros. A little more then 100 quid.

[SonOfCyrusTheGreat]

Is the screen made of real glass? Or is it "Apple's" glass, essentially transparent plastic, PET?

[Glennfalconi]

For all the guys who wants one of these. I recommend you buy second hands. I bought it myself because i love carbon fiber. My phone doesn't HAVE to be full of all kinds of applications. But if there ever was a iphone carbon fiber edition? I would buy it imediatly.

[ferdinmd]

not worth the moeny id rather get an iphone 3gs 32gb

[tuhjoh]

I bet this phone sucks as much as my Vertu accent did. Never in my life that I'm gonna spend that kind of money on a phone ever again It was stupid

[safarsafar1234]

i did.....well my dad did...he gave it to me afterwards....btw its prtty beautiful and has some good unique functions...but in the end its just a normal phone ...nothing speacial...no wifi .....smartphones are waay better

[elner123]

my gosh every peny of this phone is worth it? its not even touch screen it doesnt have special features FOR A $1000+ PHONE it donest have wifi. like wtf? it looks like a regular phone even if its made of metal ffs. or whatever it looks like one of those $100 phones... just buy an iphone and a itouch YOU HAVE BOTH.FOR THAT PRICE BOTH HAVE WIFI AND TOUCHSCREEN BOTH DURABLE BOTH HAVE SPECIAL FEATURES ON THEIR OWN ITS MORE AWESOME! not like this crap i bet those who say they have it have crap phones

[holypredator]

@elner123

The phone is for those rich ass geezer.. not for tech geek like us.

The Gold version of this 8800 actualy uses 18 caret gold for the plating and fine leather while the Sapphire version uses a small portion of sapphire somewhere in the phone.. another one uses the black metal etc...

All uses Top quality and expensive material to built the phone. For people like us, even we can afford it.. we wont be stupid enough to get it.

but for people who want the expensive look.. u know.

[elner123]

ya i guess so. but even so its so overrated why buy this phone if u can just buy a jewelry etc. maybe its much more cheaper? and buy a good phone while your at it so its a win win ur fashionable and you have good sense in choice

[holypredator]

@elner123

Some people are just too rich that they wants everything to be expensive.

Some might just prefer this phone because of the Value and not for the material.

It's like you get to brag about having a $2k phone which no one has.

[Gh3d3]

its not 1000 bucks anymore theres brand new ones on ebay for like 250 300 bucks and their originals too

[elner123]

OBVIOUSLY they bought it for 1000 and they get crap NO ONE'S GONNA BUY A SECOND HAND for 1000 dollars they want to get a 1st hand EVEN NOT A 2ND HAND they MIGHT KNOW that a 1000 dollar phone like that isnt worth it thats why they lowerd it to 300 SO PEOPLE CAN BUY IT

[c19932]

@Gh3d3

lol.....250/300 bucks those are fake.

[Glennfalconi]

@holypredator The gold one is real? Man! Some people are dumb on ebay because they sell it for way less than the normal price. But i agree. This isn't the greatest phone of all. It's more like a normal phone with expensive decorations over it. But for some odd reason i like the carbon fiber edition. I bought it for only 120 euros. Thats not really much since the newprice is like 700 euros.

[aseriboy14]

i will buy gold versace but i doesnt know how much is it with credit for manthly and for first paying

[dave46563]

not worth the money...i'd rather take my kids to disneyland. apart from the materials, this is just a bog standard nokia.

[ghodkiller000]

i had one ... keyboard stopped working. it doesn`t wirth that much... i had a phone made from good materials, but i used the other one samsung omnia to browse the web read news and fpr gps, so i will not invest in future in such phones

[SP33DADD1CT]

what container should the file b in for it to play h264 encoded video???

[jamradplayer]

i love all the nokia 8800 range. I had the first nokia 8800 and i loved it. but it was one of those phones that you had to have a spear one because you always thought you would brake it.

[ledzep191088]

no way worth the money

[Amits4321]

this phone sucks not worth then 100$

sad phone

[cankarales]

u can get it for bit more than 1100€ in slovenia on one of web tech stores. it's pretty expensive but people say that it's worth every penny

[breitling74]

I have one, and if you love the quality and weight of steel, this is one of the best1 beautiful phone.

[SnijboonXBOX360]

I have one too :D

One of the best phones I ever had, feels good en works great.

And for all you guys who say it sucks: You just don't want to spend that much money on a phone, but that doesn't mean the phone is crap.

[umayra786]

but no wifi...

[elner123]

it means its overpriced its just a phone i would pay $1000 if it would mean i could get a benefit from it $1000 on just a phone? what a moron it doesnt even have a wifi for me id just buy a regular phone and lived with my life only dumbasses buy this overpriced crap

[seva404]

@breitling74 Good job wasting $1,000. =)

[breitling74]

I have paid 12000 SEK, that is approximately 1688 USD in todays currency :-). But I tell everyone here, Get an original and feel the quality, steel, titanium and sapphire crystal display, Worth every cent! And I can afford it :-)

[alexzicong]

lol the funny thing is that u guys dont really the the real price of this phone

[leodee]

Who is that comment for?

[alexzicong]

for the the ones who say that it's worth the bucks to buy it

[RhYsFiReFiGhTeRToBe]

alot of people r sayin koreas model are originals, but one ive been wantinf to buy say mad ein korea but assembled in china ?? is this real ? and can u tell if reall with 1 GB or 4GB which one is real thanks ..

[MacPr0xnxx0]

how much is this? unlocked?

[fumfulapenguin]

this phone sucks.

[Thelindd753]

stylish?!?! WTH imo lol

[riskoish]

uhh, shitty phone imo, definately not worth the money..

[uncomonsense]

shitty? probably not

not worth the money? if you mean you can't afford it, yes.

[riskoish]

well, i mean u can get 2 awesome smartphones for this kind of price :P:P i think it's not worth it..

[AWAA4L]

I like the Nokia 8800 its stylish and simple to use, and the also the Nokia 6700 its stylish in a way, i like the classic look, they both are fancy phones

[razvanrogoz]

Stylish, worth the money.

The iPhone is too common these days.

[acnex]

It is a stylish phone etc. But its not right to compare it to an iPhone. I mean they are both different. The iphone is ALOT more usefull when it comes to featrues, but for cool style the nokia arte are beautiful.

[candywrapp]

sophistication is the word

[jasonflame]

stylish...money can buy

[BlueBoxProductions]

I got myself a sapphire arte and i must say that the original pouch is very tough. First i have to pull it out very hard half-way and then take the actual phone in my hand and rip it out.Same problem with putting it in.Have to push it down there. And i just cant do it without pressing the switch off button.People who are willing to buy one i recommend the sapphire arte. The carbon edition doesent acctualy use real carbon and why not get a phone with leather and a precious gem for the same price.

[waltham100]

Being a senior employee of Nokia UK i can assure you that the 8800 carbon arte carbon fibre is genuine in fact it is air force grade carbon currentley retailing at £4,000 a kilo which is why the carbon arte is dearer than the sapphire arte!

[crazyteamcrew]

@waltham100 mine dropped in water and now it doesn't working, for like 3 sec. in water, so as you are a senior employee of Nokia UK, can you send me another one for free? pleaseeeeeee i will pay shipping...

[carbonamigo]

MADE IN KOREA hahaa

[samboilovsu]

i dont think that comment was that bad so shame to hoo eva put a thumbs down

[malone323]

too small buttons

[mrspickles2]

Blimey... well everyone entitled to their opinion but in mine, which does not extend far into technology and where it is from, I think that Asian mobile tech is really up and coming... and we all can still lag behind the Japanese who are obcessed with their gadgets... if you earn enuff to fork out a grand on a phone, more power to you. But maybe think about spending five hundred on a phone and donating the other five to charity...

[lycon66]

nice (legit) cellphone dude..but fuckin Chinese make a replica out of anything,..even cocks.. i dont understand why people go buy a replica of sth they cant afford the original version of it...are you guys so desperate to SHOW OFF ?

[SpiderWoman14]

I want to know why it is worth £1000, can somebody please tell me?

[impulsive2urge]

exclusivity

[b0r3d4s]

waaaaay not worth its money.

[getale]

where did you buy?

[maizeandblue28]

can this phone be used with verizon?

[shulx2006]

this phone is 150-200 quid new on ebay, pretty cheap compared to what it used to be. these 8800s are all hugely overpriced from the start anyway

[leodee]

Yes, however I'm not sure if the one's on eBay for £200 are genuine. There are some pretty nasty replicas out there. Not saying that all of them on eBay are fake of course just that you have to be careful.

[shulx2006]

ye i was thinking that to be honest because it did show some on ebay for around 6-700 pounds too so i imagine the cheaper ones were replicas. Dont remember them actually stating its a replica though...naughty.

[evokonline]

@leodee yes, most of these things are china fakes. i fell for one of these, too

[willilau2006]

plus @ Heathervrgn, don't bash on what you cannot afford, American made stuff is in general cheap and nasty, much like the cars you make, you cannot compare a cheapish cheverolet to the likes of Bentley or BMW how on earth can you compare with European and Asian marketed goods? Stick with the cheap plastic made non existent American made goods if that makes you feel better.

[hthrvrgn]

k get a life instead of analyzing astrangers comment. kthxbye. i just think the phones offered in europe are ugly. who gives a fuck??? you, cuz you have no life. so go shove this big shitty phone up you asshole. good day now. idiot.

[xelivo]

i like that phone but its rlly heavey n doesnt have alot of fetures

[hthrvrgn]

Very ugly phone. I like American cellular devices better.

[willilau2006]

errrr....what exactly do Americans make besides the dying horseknown as Motorola, the Iphone was designed in California but made in China. The majority of handsets you see on the market are either Finnish, South Korean, Taiwanese or Swede/Japanese, Rim being Canadian. Palm the ONLY American company, specialising in SMARTPHONES, no cellulars, methins you are slightyly lost with silly nationalistic pride.

[hthrvrgn]

never said i liked motorola. i meant that i like the phones offered in american cell phone companies more than the ones in european companies. my opinion that i'm entitles to.

[supercomputerdude]

in greece that costs 1.189 euro

[Cgolfsoccerguy]

why is this so expensive?>!

[muertomaniaco]

i guess its the price of exclusivity

[orcareta]
