8 out of 10 8800 Arte have got build quality issue with the annoying creaking noise when pressing the slider to reveal the keypad; and there are big gaps on the bottom part of the D-pad & also above the keypad...those gaps allow the backlight to shine through which is very annoying especially at night! Btw, this also apply to the backlight which shine through strongly ONLY on the upper left siide of the D-pad!
This phone has got nice exterior design & good use of material...BUT really concerning the design detail & build quality issue; it's a thumbs down...!!!

So here we have two people who work for phone companies saying this is overpriced and do not recommend buying it, and still you all wish to complain about me complaining. I think you are missing the point that people are only trying to save you all money.
I couldn't care less however if you bought this phone or not, it's not my money wasted. But people still should know there are good sturdy classy models out there that don't cost an arm and a leg.
But be warned im starting a petition for "People Who Have Too Much Money And Need To Pay More Taxes So They Don't Buy Over Priced Phones" I'll let you all know when I get a million signatures.

Also regarding the price... keep in mind that only the costs of an artificial sapphire glass for a good watch is around 100-150eur.
Now extrapolating for this phone's screen, you will see that just 300eur-ish goes into the scratch resistant screen glass only.

Good points made, esp with the Watch example. A Casio is so much cheaper with loads of features but id much rather have a solid Rolex with less features (I cant afford a Rolex but I wont slate people for buying one just because I cannot afford one). Back to the Arte, the steel shouldnt affect the signal quality at all. I have not lost reception once with this phone. When I had my Nokia N80 I lost reception many times! And I have not seen one other person with this phone so I love the rare phone factor!

Truly this is a very nice phone. It's like the difference between a good watch (with sapphire glass, scratch resistant) and a cheap watch. Of course, the cheaper watch has probably a lot more features, but still there are people who prefer quality over other things.
For the one who said that they laugh at the people who buy this... Would you laugh if you were selling watches and people came in and preferred a simple, expensive high quality Swiss watch. Or would you say to them... ok buy this cheaper watch... it has a lot more features and it's 1/10 of the price...
Technical question: Being made from steel, doesn't that affect signal reception (in a bad way)? Or you can have the phone act like a big antenna and get better signal?

Once again the same old debate comes about features. I think everyone knows that this phone aint got the same features as some of the N series, iPhone or many other mobile phones in the market. People who buy this phone are aware about the features of this phone, so they dont buy this phone cos they want excellent features, they buy this phone cos it looks and feels fantastic. I have owned many Nokia phones and have used many other brands for testing. I can tell you, the Nokia 8800 Arte phone is lovely to feel, use and to look at! And people have the right to buy what they want with their hard earned money, so if it means buying a solid steel phone like this which may not have top of the range features, so be it! And people who keep moaning about features, go look at other mobile phones and leave us Arte fans in peace! :)

I work for Optus and we sell this phone. Everyone who ever gets handset we laugh at when they leave because honestly, for how expensive it is, it's pretty bad.
I do not ever recommend this phone to customers. The features it has are avalible on MANY other affordable phones that are also better looking than the 8800.

> In reply to [deleted post]Oh but i do need to judge them. I have no shame in saying I can't afford this phone, why buy this when I can buy a laptop or computer for the same price? Think about it, a computer or a phone... I pick computer.
Yes, it is not the phone for me and it never will be, clearly I will not waste my money.
I just don't see the point, it's JUST a phone. Chances are if you don't want any special specs on it you don't use it besides for talking, txting and the occasional photo, so a normal phone would last just as long as this one, no?
I'm not "bashing" this phone because it has no features, it's overpriced that's why everyone is complaining about it. Pay all that for a phone that's made of nice materials? Whatever blows your skirt up.
Rich people? Charities?

its unbelivable how many people are bashing this phone because its expensive and have no feature. There's a reason why this is a luxury phone and Nokia sells another few millions of non-luxury phones. And the fact that nokia keep releasing the 8800 series means it has a market. You can't judge someone just because they choose to spend their money on this phone. I have this phone and I sure didn't get it to make myself feel more superior. I got it because it's a quality phone. Spending $300-500 on a regular phone that last you around 2-3 years is the same thing as spending $1000 on a phone that last you 5 years. And at the end of the 5 years, I can still probably sell it for $300-500 since it's build on style, not feature, so the price won't depreciate as much. And the fact this phone is built so solid with its sapphire scratch free screen and stainless steel, it will still look brand spanking new. But seriously, does it matter why people get this phone? They have the money, they can choose to spend it however they like.
