Mobiles Review

Everybody remembers an example of Nokia 3200Nokia 3220
The design is targeted to youth and there are two white prominent rubber insertions on both sides. Due to them the device doesn’t slide in the hand and is fixed surely. The right upper insertion has a hole and here is an output of the loud speaker that is responsible for call signals.

The side insertions hide LEDs that may illuminate the sides of the phone with green or red light during an incoming call
A possibility to change the grips will become a surprise for many users, they may be not only white, but red, blue, green and pale blue. The process of changing makes no any great troubles, it is enough to take off the back cover, pull the grip up and it is in your hands. No doubt, the accessory won’t be widely spread but it seems interesting.. The function seems interesting and is correlated with different events (missed calls, games and so on). In some kind it is a simple realization of Haptics by Motorola (models ?•398, v80) or an analog of dynamic light in the phones by Siemens (M55, CX65, M65). A user of Nokia 3220 cannot change the parameters of the indicators’ luminescence, there is only a possibility to turn them on or off. The function is global and setting them for different events is forbidden. There is no a possibility to adjust the luminescence in time with the music and it seems a disadvantage (the function is present in the phones by Motorola) and the phone would have been unique in its segment then. In general it is possible to say that side indicators are quite interesting and diversify the appearance of the phone, make it youth.

The premium segment always lacked the offer from the main manufacturerstechnical solutions of the Nokia 8800 are of interest today., since that is not enough just to announce the device as status; it has to prove this name. Due to that plenty of status devices by unknown manufacturers using technological materials were unnoticed practically and the last example is Mobiado Professional. In the absence of a famous brand the device is taken not as a premium solution. Nokia tried to provide unique offers to its users in this segment and keep the price high as long as possible. That is the main Nokia’s difference from other manufacturers, a product that may be compared to other devices in functions is launched, but still it has unique features and design. That is how long life and slow price decrease is achieved. This practice was possible till today, since no manufacturer tried acting in this niche, but the market strategy changes and the Nokia 8800 won’t be the only product of the class. However at least for 7-8 months the device will dominate in its segment, which will allow fixing its price automatically. That makes the Nokia 8800 interesting for many users, since the phone status will remain the same more than for a year, and price decrease won’t touch it unlike the majority of the devices. Besides the price questions

The device is designed as a popular today slider, Nokia lacked such devices till recently. The Nokia 8910 may be considered the maximum close to smartphones, but here another mechanism pulling the functional part up from the external one is applied. No significant parts of the device were gathered in the bottom end. The Nokia 8800 is unique for almost all the body except for the top of the back panel is made of stainless steel. A corresponding note may be seen under the back cover near the SIM-connector. The metal is not claimed nominally, there is really much of it. Particularly, you can take the back cover and look at its thickness, it is about 0.5 mm, in other models the thickness of twice less. This lavish use of the metal gives the impression of reliability; the device lies well in a hand and is felt as a pleasant heaviness. The feeling is even nicer considering polished surface.

The surface is easily soiled and fingerprints stay on it. And if they are not much noticeable or at least are taken normally on the metal, then on the glass they are well seen. Some will take fingerprints on the phone as a catastrophe and one won’t pay any attention on the contrary. It all depends on your perception; fingerprints on the Nokia 8800 do not make a disadvantage, which is the minus of all the polished surfaces.

The weight of the device follows from the materials used and forms 134 grams. Considering the size of 107?—45×16.5 mm the device is felt heavier and looks more aerial. I’d like to stress men are the main audience (up to 80 percent of sales). Women can use the phone but considering the Nokia 8850, 8910 sales, there are few of them. The question concerns not the weight of the device or its design; it refers to the primordial positioning of such products by the manufacturer. Have a look on the original photos life style by Nokia, they tell how the manufacturer sees the Nokia 8800 customer (a successful manager, own chauffeur and a limousine, women only shade the Nokia 8800 owner in).
