Image technology has always been in a separate class. Overall, this is not surprising. After all, there are people for whom a telephone, for example, is not primarily a means of communication, but an accessory that emphasizes the status of the owner. The Nokia 8800 has always been such a phone.

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte: the best fashion phone?

Image accessories

Speaking about image technology, it is worth saying that previously the role of status accessories was performed exclusively by expensive watches and pens. Later, after cell phones and laptops became truly mass products, many manufacturers released significantly more.

But what characterizes the image model? Here I would like to recall an anecdote about two new Russians, one of whom boasted that he bought the same tie as the other, only twice as expensive. Indeed, there is an opinion that a high-status phone or laptop is just that and nothing more. However, this is nothing more than a myth.

An image accessory is, first of all, a stylish appearance, as well as a very high build quality. Notice we didn't mention functionality. It can be either the most outstanding or completely fade into the background. The high price, on the other hand, is more of a necessity. After all, firstly, when producing image products, much more expensive materials are used, and high-quality assembly costs .

A little more about materials: metal is very popular among manufacturers of such products. Let's make a reservation, now we are talking only about phones. After all, if the weight of a phone can be an advantage (“pleasant heaviness”), then for, for example, a laptop it is a definite disadvantage. The metals used are also different: from relatively inexpensive stainless steel and more expensive titanium, to silver and even gold.

Of course, models made of precious metals are, of course, much more expensive, but their price can guarantee that the owner will be “not like everyone else.” In addition to metals, leather has been and remains popular, used for quite a long time in finishing the best models of laptops and phones, as well as precious stones and Swarovski crystals. The most expensive models are often finished in ebony.

Relatively recently, another material has become popular - carbon fiber (carbon fiber), a polymer composite material made from intertwined carbon threads, which has very high strength. This is a high-tech material used in rocket and space technology, aircraft and automotive industries. Laptops with carbon casings are lighter and stronger. Carbon fiber is also used for finishing phones.

Arte line

Nokia has been producing fashion phone models for a long time. All 8800 models are distinguished by a stylish design and high build quality, as befits high-status models. At the same time, the price of the devices is lower than, for example, that of Vertu.

Now the Arte line includes four models: , and . Each of these models has its own characteristics. For example, large artificial sapphire is used in the decoration, and the model is trimmed with leather and gold. Today we will talk about this model containing carbon fiber inserts. By the way, this is not at all for the sake of increasing strength - the metal case does not need this. Carbon is used exclusively as decoration. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Ergonomics and design

A telephone, no matter how fashionable it is, always remains a telephone. Models of the Arte line are made in a slider form factor. The phone body is made of stainless steel, which makes the phone a little heavier, which is nice. There are carbon inserts covered in varnish at the front and rear.

The build quality is, without exaggeration, excellent. The slider moves almost silently. However, this is familiar to us from other models of the 8800 series. Particular attention should be paid to the carbon inserts: the interweaving of carbon fibers creates an exceptionally beautiful play of light. We found only one downside: our test sample had several noticeable scratches on the varnish coating of the carbon inserts. It's a small thing, but still unpleasant.

The device is not overloaded with controls. In the middle there is a four-way joystick with a key in the middle. To the left and right of it are two more keys. The button for changing profiles and turning off the device is located at the top. And at the very bottom is the USB/charger input. The camera is located at the back.

This phone is a pleasure to hold and is certainly a pleasure to use. However, this is exactly what a high-quality fashion phone should be.

Contents of delivery

The equipment is also worthy of praise; it can be described as excellent. So, in the box, in addition to the phone itself, we found:

• Bluetooth mono headset (Nokia BH-803);
• Charger;
• USB cable;
• Leather Case;
• Leather mat for wiping;
• Cradle;
• Instructions;
• CD with software.

The headset is quite similar to the phone. It is very comfortable to wear and also has a touch pad for volume control. The design is a little restrained, but no less attractive. The illuminated cradle is also extremely interesting. When the phone is placed in it for charging, the base of the cradle lights up in pulsating blue. Looks very nice. By the way, you can charge your phone without a cradle; the charger can be connected directly to the phone.

The case is also very convenient. If you want to take out the phone, just pull the tape and the device will “stick out” half its length. A very good solution, although it is worth noting that many users prefer a holster with a belt clip.

Filling

Of course, no matter how high-status the phone is, its functionality should not fade into the background. And here the device does not disappoint, even if it is not a pocket computer.

The phone screen, despite its small size, has a high resolution - 240 by 320 pixels. In addition, the screen is covered with scratch-resistant glass. The device's internal memory is 4 GB. And, of course, there is also a basic gentleman's set - support for Bluetooth and work in third generation networks.

Conclusion

The continuation of the Arte line was a great success. is a very interesting image device. Its advantages include:

• Stylish design;
• Excellent build quality;
• Decent package.

At the same time, a drawback was also noticed: the insufficient resistance of the paintwork of the carbon inserts to scratches. It is also worth mentioning the high price, today it is about 51,000 rubles.

Plan:

1. Information about image telephones.

2. Information about disposable phones.

A brand phone is usually very expensive, so that everyone around knows how cool its owner is.

A touchphone is a phone with a touch screen. From the word "touch" (touch - English). A fashion phone may or may not be a touchphone. By the way, it could just be a pipe. but incredibly expensive, therefore exciting the imagination.

Speaking about image technology, it is worth saying that previously the role of status accessories was performed exclusively by expensive watches and pens. Later, after cell phones and laptops became truly mass products, many manufacturers released significantly more expensive fashion models.

But what characterizes the image model? Here I would like to recall an anecdote about two new Russians, one of whom boasted that he bought the same tie as the other, only twice as expensive. Indeed, there is an opinion that a status phone or laptop is just high price and nothing more. However, this is nothing more than a myth.

Carbon fiber is also used for finishing phones.

Arte line

Nokia has been producing fashion phone models for a long time. All 8800 models are distinguished by a stylish design and high build quality, as befits high-status models. At the same time, the price of the devices is lower than, for example, that of Vertu.

What is a burner phone? This is a great solution for those who are on a trip. You usually cannot use your own cell phones in normal mode, because in the roaming zone the cost of mobile operator services can be prohibitively high.

True, someone does the following: they buy a second phone specifically for traveling, using it to install local SIM cards. Or even purchases a phone designed to work with two SIM cards. True, not all manufacturers make such phones; for example, Nokia mobile phones with two SIM cards have not yet appeared on the market. But such phones are produced by Samsung, Fly, Sitronics and other companies. By the way, Samsung in the first quarter of 2009 came in second place in cell phone sales, selling 29.9% of all 269 million devices sold during these three months.

But both of these solutions are relevant for those who travel often and a lot.

A disposable cell phone is intended for those who did not take care of the issue of communication during the trip in advance, so that they do not have to buy both a local SIM card and a cell phone. After all, you usually want to leave your own number active to receive calls, but forwarding costs money and does not solve all problems.

Disposable phones are very basic, have little or no additional features, and are generally designed to last until your account runs out of money. Such devices are relevant for resort areas, as well as for countries with a large population and area, where different regions have different cellular communication zones. Therefore, disposable phones are actively used, for example, in the USA.

Perhaps in a few years disposable cameras will disappear, as happened with disposable film cameras, which immediately disappeared from the market with the spread of cheap digital cameras. But it is also possible that this is an interesting direction of market development that will be relevant over the next few years, at least in some conditions.

Nokia 8110 “Banana”

In the cult trilogy of the Wachowski brothers and now sisters, a mobile phone appeared, instantly topping the ranking of the most desirable phones around the world. Rumor has it that Morpheus himself called some of the owners of such a handset.

This model is often confused with the Nokia 7110, but in the film it was the Nokia 8110 phone that was used, and not a serial one, but a specially modified one.

The cover of the regular Nokia 8110 needs to be pulled with your finger, but the version from The Matrix has automatic adjustment. Naturally, all this is for a greater wow effect.

Nokia had very cool premium fashion phones that were unavailable to most Russian citizens then, but are in high demand now.

Nokia 8910 is an elegant slider phone with a body made of titanium. A year after its introduction, the manufacturer released an updated version of the 8910i with a color display.

The 8910 model was replaced by another Nokia 8800 slider with a stainless steel body. The phone was assembled exclusively in Germany.

A little later, modifications of the classic Nokia 8800 model called Sirocco Edition appeared with a more capacious battery, expanded memory, a modified chassis mechanism and a special version with chrome coating.

Following the Sirocco came the Nokia 8800 Arte Edition, more advanced in terms of hardware.

The phone was produced in five versions:

• Arte - black stainless steel case.
• Sapphire Arte - brown leather and stainless steel case, artificial sapphire in the navigation button.
• Sapphire Arte Black - black case made of leather and stainless steel, artificial sapphire in the navigation button.
• Carbon Arte - in addition to steel, the body uses elements made of carbon fiber and titanium.
• Gold Arte - case with gold plating and white leather inserts.

No one will dare to challenge the absolute power of the 3310 model, but Nokia had other equally successful phones.

You probably remember this neat brick with silicone buttons and a flashlight. The company itself called the model “Penny”. Within five years, 200 million of these phones were sold - the best figure in Nokia's history. Before this, the leadership was expected to be in the 3310th model.

Nokia 9300

Nokia 9300 cannot be called just a phone. In fact, it consists of two modules: a dialer and a real communicator.

Nokia 9300

It’s an ordinary-looking handset, but once you open it, you’ll see a fairly advanced device for working with files, mail, MS Office documents, a player, the Opera browser and a bunch of other bells and whistles. For 2004 it was simply a breakthrough.

Nokia 9300i in the movie Die Hard 4.0

The more advanced Nokia 9300i appeared in Die Hard 4.0 and showed itself to be an excellent tool for fighting cybercrime.

Motorola

Everyone knows about the RAZR V3, but that legendary flip phone wasn't Motorola's only hit. The second most successful phone for the company was the E398, which was rightly nicknamed a tape recorder in your pocket.

The presence of powerful backlit stereo speakers truly turned the communication device into a portable music system that no other phone could compete with.

One of the world's first phones with a color display.

Powerful polyphony, GPRS, connection to a computer using a standard cheap and widely available USB cable and low price have brought it well-deserved popularity.

Siemens

At first we wanted to place here individual phone models of the legendary German manufacturer, but the more nostalgic we became, the wider the list became. As a result, the question arose: were there any bad Siemens? I think no.

Even in those distant years, the company used a clear, competent and understandable division of devices into categories for customers:

• Siemens A - budget workhorses. We remember A52, A55 and sigh.
• Siemens C are average, one of the best in their price category at that time. For many, the C55 and C65 will forever be remembered as phones that are unsurpassed in quality and convenience.
• Siemens M - were positioned as sports, but in fact they were just chic, indestructible phones that were not afraid of shocks and water. They also have a really cool design. Eh, now I wish I could hold the M55 or M65 again.
• Siemens S - not so popular, because they were positioned and priced as business devices, but how cool and sophisticated they were! You've been dreaming about an S55, right?

Sony Ericsson

The Sony Ericsson T610, which appeared in 2003, blew up the market. Not the most affordable, but incredibly advanced from a technical point of view. This minimalist, strict design captivated at first sight.

Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot and Walkman

In subsequent years, we saw many Sony Ericsson phones, including Cyber-shot camera phones with an emphasis on shooting and music Walkmans - the heirs of the legendary Sony players.

All of them were successful, were in great demand and served well.

Samsung

When the C100 launched, people marveled at its incredibly thin profile. Just 17 millimeters, can you imagine?

Yes, technology has come a long way, but that stylish, daring handset with an incredibly bright screen, cool polyphony and amazingly stable performance will live in our hearts.

SPH-N270 Matrix Phone

You will recognize him anywhere and everywhere. An extremely unusual tube with a retractable speaker, made specifically for The Matrix.

Samsung SPH-N270

The phone supported only American cellular communication standards, but this fact does not prevent collectors and fans of The Matrix from all over the world from hunting for a rare device, which was also released in a limited edition.

Fashionable iPhones with the symbols of federal departments are bought by high-ranking heads of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Gold smartphones with a portrait of V.V. are very popular among generals and colonels. Putin and the coat of arms of Russia.

Lower cost distinguishes gadgets with religious themes. Thus, the fashion iPhone with the golden pattern “Trinity” by Andrei Rublev was released in a limited edition. It was intended for the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill and senior church servants.
