Nokia has a way with phone lovers without fail. Ever since it emerged into the scenario, it has comfortably scrapped up loyalists from every corner of the world. In fact, the Finnish mobile phone manufacturer makes news more easily than most of the celebrities who adorn our daily newspapers. The reason naturally pertains to the extent of expertise that it has garnered over the mobile phone technology during its reign. Every now and then, we are greeted with the announcement of a new arrival from the house of this manufacturer, and it sure is a pleasant experience to behold these new babies. Merging the style and substance factors in a unique blend, Nokia has given us some of the most astounding phones in the world. A comparative observation of two of its most beautiful phones does the job of justifying its glory.



The Nokia 8800 was first introduced in the year 2005 in a durable stainless steel frame with scratch resistant glass window to protect its 256k TFT colour screen. This highly elegant slider phone sure does perk up the style factor for the users with an SVGA camera that offers decent quality photography and a video video player that has 3D enhanced graphics for good quality videos. A digital music player along with an FM radio adds more spice to the phone. A host of connectivity channels and a few Internet browsers with Mobile Wallet seals the deal for this attractive phone.

As a follow up to the Nokia 8800, the manufacturer has gone ahead with an upgrading spree to release the better endowed Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition. The new version is a tremendously stylish and elegant slider phone in a curvy stainless steel body with a signature thumb rest for enhanced user friendliness. Available in two variants of Nokia 8800 Sirocco Black and Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold, the phone has a 2.0 megapixel camera providing a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. Besides email and instant messaging, the phone also has a language support. The digital music player supporting MP3 and Enhanced AAC formats and the FM radio offers users a real taste of entertainment. A 128 MB NAND flash memory figures on the phone for adequate data storage.

The observation provides a clear picture of who the winner is as the Nokia 8800 Sirocco steals the show hands down.
