The Nokia 8800 (pronounced eighty-eight-hundred) is a luxury mobile phone produced by Nokia, based on the Nokia Series 40 operating system. The 8800 features a stainless-steel housing with a scratch-resistant screen and has a weight of 134 grams.[1][2] It was first introduced in April 2005 and was commercially available in the United Kingdom in October 2005 on the O2 mobile phone network.
The Nokia 8801 was introduced in North America and uses the frequencies predominant in North America of 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. In most respects the Nokia 8801 is identical to the Nokia 8800 other than the use of 850/1800/1900 MHz rather than 900/1800/1900 MHz on the Nokia 8800.[3][5]

The 8800 comes with two BL-5X (600 mAh) batteries, with a manufacturer-specified talk time of up to 1.5-3 hours or up to 8 days standby time per battery.[2][6]. However, users found this was very optomstic and most users have to charge their phone several times-a-day. The 8800 is prone to dying upon connecting of a call due ot the battery not being able to cope with the sudden demand.
[edit] Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition
The 8800 Sirocco Edition, with a redesigned fascia and in silver and black, was released in 2006. This version of the phone has a 2 megapixel camera and slightly updated keypad layout. It includes ringtones composed by Brian Eno, who also composed the Windows 95 start-up sound.[7]
In early 2007 Nokia released the 24ct gold plated version of the 8800 Sirocco. Which became and still stands as the most expensive phone (RRP $2049.00) in Nokia's catalogue of cell phone models.
