I’ve been thinking of replacing my HP iPAQ PDA phone with a ‘normal’ mobile phone that is slimmer and less bulky, and is able to download ring tones, send picture messages, produce clear photo images, browse the internet, and to manage personal information like appointments and reminders. Of course, the look and feel of the mobile phone must be aesthetically astounding, too. 
That’s why I’m putting Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte into my wish list, coz I know it’s not something I can afford at the moment (or EVER). Its retail price is RM5,990 when released last month! Don’t think there is a big difference in its price right now.
Why is Nokia 8800 Sapphire so cool?
Key features:
- Tactile surface cloaked in leather cover with sapphire navigation key.
- Tap-for-time to display time and missed events by double-tapping the phone surface below the display.
- Turn-to-mute to gracefully silence incoming calls and alarms by a simple turn of phone, screen-side down.
- Ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness of the screen according to its surrounding to provide vibrant display of light and contrast.
- Living wallpapers specially designed to match the design of the phone, and provide a truly unique decoration.

I suppose I’ll just let this timeless, elegantly designed mobile phone remain in my wish list. In real life, I think I better stick to one that costs RM599.
