I saw this phone in an advertisement and was left mesmerised. A real piece of technological supremacy combined by a artistic craftmanship and nokia durability. This is a real STYLE STATEMENT.
I couldnt believe it when it said thats its made of steel but then I checked it at a nearby store and yes , it was ! And it really looks great
The best part is its looks.... its killing !! It sure can make heads turn ! The sleek slide on cover makes it really beautiful and elegant.
It has an SVGA camera with just 0.5 Mega pixel :( but they look amazingly clear on its screen thats as good as a laptop in colour and clarity.
Its scratch resistant and has FM integrated with it !! and even a 64 MB flash memory.
Its ring-tones are amazing and a few of them are proprietory to this handset and are really out of this world. Its a MP3 and polyphonic sound enabled handset and hence the sound clarity (of ring tones) is superb !!
Hmmmm , on second thought .... to talk about the target audience of this model .. it would be senior position executives and businessmen who have around 50 K for their phone and would like their cell to be a style statement ! The steel look clearly denoted POWER ... RAW POWERand the elegance of the same gives its a very humane touch.
Its the phone for people who are not looking ONLY FOR FEATURES (they should go for Nokia 9500) but for those who want good features but also a prized power statement.
As its tag - line very clearly says ''Designed for senses''
I am not really sure that its available in India or not. Its scheduled launch was just around a few days back.
Its overpriced for sure but then style and statement do command some extra dollars ... dont they ?
Have a look and be mesmerised. Buy it if you can afford it :)
A few of its features as said on their website and their hard copy brochures. You have to look at its demo at https://nokia.com/nokia/0,,73092,00.html
