Nokia has unveiled a truly inspired mobile phone for today’s connoisseurs of quality and taste. Encased in a slim stainless steel body, the Nokia 8801 [.jpg image] subtly glides open to reveal a number of distinctive details. The Nokia 8801 features exclusive audio accompaniment, including all ring tones and alerts, by award-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto. This attention to detail continues Nokia’s heritage of premium mobile phones that have set the industry standard for elegance and performance. (Thanks Joi..!!)

The Nokia 8801 is expected to begin shipping in select markets during the third quarter of 2005.

The Nokia 8800 is expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2005. The Nokia Wireless Stereo Headset, also introduced today, is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2005.
