Winds of change: The Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition - sensual by nature, intuitively beautiful by design
Nokia has revealed a new cell phone full of style called Sirocco that comes with some exclusive features. Starting with the name, Sirocco is related to the strong wind that comes from Sahara and creates a revolution wherever it goes. This revolution is best described in the following sentence*: Sirocco causes dusty, dry conditions along the northern coast of Africa, storms in the Mediterranean Sea, and cold, wet weather in Europe. With that meaning in mind, Nokia tried to “translate” it into a cellphone not only in style but on the audio section too, it has the dark side related to the storms and cold conditions that Sirocco creates, and a light side which is more allied to the hotness that the wind is capable of generating. On the audio section, the whole soundtrack was composed by Brian Eno, famous for his ambient music innovations - taking advantage of selected instruments and inspiration from the nature he created special melodies for the special cellphone.
About the device itself, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition in terms of specifications and exact technical details can't be considered a topnotch device. It features a 2 megapixel camera, a display with 262,000 colors, a not so usual stainless steel metal cover, and an extended battery life. What marks the difference from the rest is the interface, design, look, feel, and exclusive sounds in Advanced Audio Coding quality. To complement the whole package, it also comes with a bluetooth headset made of stainless steel that will certainly correspond to the cellphone quality. Taking in consideration all the details described in terms of unique features, it's no surprise to see the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition only available in some places with a price tag of €1000.
