Nokia 8800 Sirocco review: Luxury redefined
Sirocco is currently the most expensive Nokia model on the market. It has a sapphire protecting glass and glossy steel panels; among its standard accessories are a leather case, two batteries, a earphone, a Bluetooth handsfree, and a cleaning cloth. Apparently, future owners of Nokia 8800 Sirocco will be happening to rarely run one into another if ever.

I have had the Sirocco for a several weeks now and I have not had any of the battery longevity problems people describe with the original 8800. I have my bluetooth on all day and my battery has been giving me up to 3-days before I really need to charge it up again. I program my phone to go into sleep mode and along with a slightly larger battery, it no longer has an issue. The camera and music features, I dont care about. The dimples on the case are not as pronounced as the look in pics of this phone, more subtle, but help to hold the phone when talking. The bluetooth headset that comes with it, works really well, good volume and clarity. The menu set-up is different from my other nokia phones, got to get used to that. I bought my phone in Kuwait for about 980 USD, which for a new edition is about what you gonna pay for being an early adopter. But, I am planning on a long service life for my "silver bullet phone" I am so glad I held off buying the old 8800 phone and got the sirocco instead.

i've got a regular 8800 and for me it's my world i ADORE it, ho ever i am getting this sim free soon as possible, they are impossible to get hold of sim free! any one know where i acn get one in the UK? the camera on my normall 8800 really is'nt that bad becuase the overall display colours are so good - i've put loads of pictures from phone to pc and it really aint bad at all, so i'd like to try out the 2 meg pix cam. and as for the double memory of 128 from 64, thats great, as for mp3's i compressed the files so make them smaller to fit more on.
can't wait!

I use Nokia 8800 and its design is nice. But real problem is that its battery lasts hardly one day if having a few calls! This is really a problem.

Itīs beautiful, i now that are better phones but this one itīs a beauty.
I donīt have money to burn so i will not buy it. But i think itīs a major diference to the regural edition of 8800 in the camera. 2 megapixel itīs a lot for a phone so slim like the sirocco edition.
I agree with the the people that said that itīs a status phone and of course that there are a lot of phones cheaper and betteR.

people seem to be missing the point here, this phone is more of a status symbol than a functional object. its like buying a rolls royce instead of a bmw, its about statement.
