This is a tri-band device supporting GSM 900/1800/1900. The Nokia 8801 is a US variant supporting GSM 850/1800/1900. The 8800 supports GPRS and also EDGE data transfer. This is a Bluetooth handset as you would expect, and it also supports stereo audio over Bluetooth. There's an email client and XHTML web browser, and the Nokia 8800 also supports MMS and Instant Messaging.
The SVGA camera supports video clips in QCIF resolution (144x176 pixels) and has a built-in video player. The 8800 comes with a 3D imaging engine for gameplay too. Of course, the Nokia 8800 supports Java for games and other applications.
Priced at around 750 Euros/GBP520/USD950 this is an expensive handset, but it does look really good from a cosmetic point of view. Inside, the technical specifications aren't as good as the recently announced 6230i, but the 208x208 pixel screen is a great improvement over Nokias of old.
Will it sell? Well, not in huge quantities because it's an expensive handset, but even the antiquated 8910i is still selling because there's a demand for this type of executive-orientated device. Our major gripe with the handset is the short battery life, and it also appears that the handset might not be usable with a cable, but the rest of the specifications are pretty good even if the Nokia 8800 isn't a class leader. It's certainly a phone that stands out from the crowd, and we think that the Nokia 8800 is an extremely desirable device.
