The Nokia 8800 is an elegant sliding phone aimed at the executive market, and it can be seen as the long-awaited replacement for the Nokia 8910i. This handset's most obvious feature is the steel shell to protect the handset and also give it a very distinctive look.
In addition to the Nokia 8800's tough casing, the screen has been made scratch-resistant to help prevent damage, and also there's a digital camera that slides into the case to protect the lens. Both the screen and the camera on the Nokia 8800 are slightly unusual - it uses the same 208x208 pixel compact display found on the Nokia 6230i, and the camera is an 800x600 pixel (0.5 megapixel) device which is the first one like it we've seen.
It's a fairly heavy handset at 134 grams, but is a typical ''candy bar'' size at 107x45x15mm. Although the Nokia 8800 is pitched at the executive market, talktime is only quoted as between 1.5-3 hours which is very low. The standby time is 8 days, which isn't too long either. It is likely that the casing is adding most of the weight rather than the battery.
The Nokia 8800 comes with a digital music player, we think supporting MP3 and AAC formats. Internal memory is 64Mb which is respectable, but the memory on the 8800 cannot be expanded which is something of a limitation. The 8800 also supports MP3 and AAC ringtones, and has a number of tones composed especially for the handset by composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. An FM radio is included as standard too.
