Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition

Thu, 31 Aug 2006

Nokia is to release an enhanced version of its 8800 slider phone next month, keeping the looks and adding a much-needed higher-spec camera . The new phone, which is also rumoured to be used in the new James Bond movie 'Casino Royale' staring Daniel Craig will be re-named the 8800 Sirocco and features a 2 megapixel camera.

Like its predecessor the new 8800 is expected to offer a 262k-colour screen display, 64MB of Flash memory , tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth with wireless stereo audio, MP3 ringtones and a digital music player .

The main difference is an increase from a SVGA digital camera to a 2 megapixel variant and a slight tweak and redesign of the keyboard and navigator control.

The luxury handset is expected to be more expensive than the original, which retails for £600. Nokia defended the 8800's high price tag earlier this year and said it had sold over one million units.

The Sirocco will be the third member of Nokia's 8800 family. The manufacturer released an Aston Martin -branded variant for £940 earlier this year.
