In mid-November, Nokia introduced another model from the collection of 8800 - the premium phones, jewelry made to the quality and the best materials. Telephone released in two versions: Nokia 8800 and Nokia 8800 Arte Sapphire Arte. Last different colors Packaging and sapphire set by the central key. He, by the way, according to experts who confirmed Nokia itself is unnatural, that is created by man, not nature. In any case, talk to us today will go on the black model.

Design

Key Packaging materials - glass and stainless steel. Because the metal is made of battery compartment lid, the entire upper halves (with the exception of the front panel), battery compartment, chassis slider, silver paste, green shell halves and joints, as well as chetyrehpozitsionnaya key. Average part is a high-quality black plastic. It is visible at the top of the back half. At this point, the antenna is installed, so the metal could not establish the details. Steel contour of the front and chetyrehpozitsionnaya key is covered with a special varnish, which lost hap tic sense of the metal, but it is beginning to spill beautifully.
The display is hidden under the mineral glass. Function keys are made of plastic. The plastic box is installed at the bottom of the slider.
Manufacturer suggests markosti protection from, but in reality, things get worse than the prospectus. Tylnaya side, including a metal cover really does not leave a trace on. The problem is that the bulk of the time the owner and the surrounding see the front side. Its steel contour is happy to retain a divorce, and glass inserts are inclined to preserve the marks of fingers, turning them into mud. On the other hand, traces not as disproportionate as to the hull LG KG800.
As set belonging to the 8800 series phone, built using slider mechanism on the ball bearings. As a result, the mechanism is working with the characteristic noise and vibration that are distinct from its usual sliders. Naturally, the similarity of any play or loose parts can not speak. As with everything else, there is a slider and disadvantages. Tightly adjacent halves left at the back of the front halves tidy strips. We have not had much… our copy prior to the outbreak of severe rubbing, but after the couple of days of use have become visible scratches. Based on experience with previous models of the series, it can be assumed that the scratches are progressing.
Corpus built quality. The design simply immersed in the feeling of jewelry work. Although there are no, we do not like: corpus has many metal parts, between which there is a bad clearance around 1-1,5 mm. He can see, if we consider only the body but the impression of an ideal construction still lost. If done skillfully building - the bulk of the image and prices phone, why not make it at all irreproachable?
Unveiling the slider, we can see the number keys. They, unlike the ancestor’s series, made of conventional plastic, rather than noble metal. Perhaps this fact, and perhaps the very design of the keys, does not make such pressing pleasant as they were at the same Sirocco. Yes, during clear, user-friendly keys, but the feeling of high quality jewellery things when you click on the keys do not appear. Moreover, the upper row of keys closely adjacent to the shell, so access to the top three buttons worse than the rest. To lower this problem does not exist.
Administering chetyrehpozitsionnaya key is, in principle, suitable. There is no delight; we did not rise, but any serious flaws. Thin metal contour do not pose a problem. But the realization of the central keys - worse. She drowned in the body and have to carefully position the finger to press it does not trigger circuit.
OLED display, without a doubt, worthy of the highest praise. Ideal angles review, the brightness of a beautiful, wonderful color. Manufacturer not applied for the first time a square matrix, and more commonplace, rectangular, with a resolution of 320 х240.
In 8800 Arte complete with a Bluetooth headset comes BH-803, a desktop stand DT-19 and leather case. Because of the charging function USB connector, works as a stand full kredl.
The battery offers impressive capacity - 1000 mAh. Because of the diversity of decorations, such as edge lighting effects and keyboards, with a moderate use of the phone without any charging 2-2,5 day. When a large number of calls battery withstand working day. For the target audience is important. In the previous set of models accounted for the second battery to invest more or less autonomous adequate time work. In Arte designers correct this shortcoming.

Software Features

Advertising literature suggests software platform Series 40 3rd Edition. In fact, here as in the Nokia 7500 and Nokia 6500 Prism slide / classic, used Series 40 5th Edition.
The player, notebook book, communications and other embedded applications for standard platforms. An exception is, perhaps, just a calculator. Nokia carefully established with scientific calculator functions and features miscalculation loans. A similar decision came to mind when developing the marketing LG phone Prada.
The set has a Java-game (golf), as well as a set of applications: Opera Mini, Widsets, converter and unit converter size clothing.
Nokia said the existence of accelerometer, as well as a unique multimedia content created by famous Director-FM and producers Kruder & Dorfmeister.
Accelerometer operates in two cases: if the phone in turn incoming call - switched off sound speakers, and if the finger twice knocked on the phone - will appear on the display of beautiful watches. The gallery (when viewing photos, videos, or in any other case) accelerometer is not working. In the used software platform work is thick with it is not implemented. Throughout the company’s only model to a number of recent smart phones is beginning more or less full advantage accelerometer.
Multimedia filling coupled with a single, but the quality and loud dynamics Arte brings to the Vertu phones, one feature of which is a unique high-quality sound of the speaker. Set Tone for Vertu also unique. In the case of Nokia 8800, we have set Arte videoringtonov and conventional melodies. Compilation interesting, though some sounds are produced too pronzitelnymi and wants to return to the old Goodwill Nokia Tune. The idea of videoringtonami also worthy of praise. Kruder & Dorfmeister created audiovisual content, which would be appropriate even on the phone serious businessman. On the other hand, do not seem to be ringing strict and conservative. Overall, a good job. We very rarely in the reviews devote an entire paragraph phone ring tones, but in this case it is justified. Subjectively, a compilation of calls Arte sounds good and interesting and, more importantly, significantly louder than the creation Ryuichi Sakamoto to Sirocco or Brian Eno for the first 8800.
Graphic design complied Fitske Fritz. It is ideally combined with the design of your phone and looks quite interesting. Icons and menu theme is chosen so as to maximize combined with the design. It is easy to get rid of succeeding theme, which is turned on by default.
Wallpaper varies with the time of day. This can be disabled, but even when it is turned on, you will not see the heavenly sunset, or the Leaning Tower Kremlin, as implemented in the Samsung phones: Arte filled with a collection of abstractions known photographer and designer.
The user is available to 895 MB of memory. 45 MB are diverse applications and multimedia content. Through USB data is transmitted to small speeds of about 1 MB / s or less.

Camera

Camera denied multiple settings, and there is hidden in the menus. U pictures only one serious flaw - too blurry outlines of objects. Thus, the effect becomes a snapshot of watercolors when small objects merge, the detailing of losing. Otherwise, the pictures produced very good quality. Color rendition, white balance, the exposition - all provided at the right level of quality.
Auto Macro often mistaken when, but in the normal mode is triggered correctly and quickly.
Video can be saved with a resolution of 640 х480 instead of the claimed 177 h144. Permission is not 1600 х1200 pictures, and 2048 h1536, which is consistent with the 3 Mp matrixes.
The quality of the video has been good. It has even come to view on a computer. With compression use the following parameters:

Codec: MPEG-4 Video
Bitrate: 2048 kbit / s
The number of frames per second: 14929
Resolution: 640×480
Audio: AMR Narrowband, 15750Hz
Conclusions

Like all other phones elite series 8800, Arte necessarily find a buyer. Nokia has established a modern phone with unique characteristics that can be obtained only for the solid money.
U Arte has shortcomings, or else could not be otherwise. However, the manufacturer has established capacious battery, allowing the phone to withstand a whole day of active calls. Form a great phone premium, inherited dignity of all previous models.
