By the name of the phone, we can get that unique ‘expensive’ feeling already ain’t it? Carbon Arte sounds more like a sophisticated piece of art that sits together with the likes of carbon fibre body cars like the Ferrari and Porsche. Which is true, by every definition of Ferrari and Porsche.
Without even looking at the logo, you know that a Ferrari is a great car. It’s that shiny body, great design and that aura of greatness that tells it all. It may have just the ordinary features of other less expensive like the BMW, but the position it has put itself in the market, has actually lifted the image of the car. Since first impression is everything, Ferrari has successfully make a great first impression. With that as an analogy, so does the the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte.
See the association? It’s the Ferrrari of mobile phones.
It gives a great first impression when I saw it. It has this cool, shiny black body with fine textures that just screams “I am bold, great and expensive”. It just feels right in your hand. To ensure that it always looks great, its carbon fibre body is coated with Nokia’s anti-smudge technology to ensure it does not have prints all over its shiny body - trust me, when your friends see that you have one, they’d bound to have many prints if there were no anti-smudging.
