Keeping with the Nokia 8800 Arte range, the Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte offers a minimalistic surface, slide mechanism and lightweight feel. Made from carbon fiber, an ultra light and strong material, it reflects 3D patterns. The modern feel has unique tones, textures and sculpted shapes. The 8800 Carbon Arte provides a unique tap-for-time feature, allowing users to tap the steel surface below the screen twice for a clock appears. Background images organically change during the day, giving a unique appearance to the display. The turn-to-mute silencing mechanism lets users silence incoming calls in a discrete manner by turning the phone over, screen-side down. The 8800 Carbon Arte features a 3.2-megapixel auto-focus camera, high-quality audio, vivid OLED screen, and 3G capabilities. Nokia's anti-fingerprint coating reduces smudges on metal and glass and unsightly outer seams are hidden by a unique all-in-one micro-USB connector.

• Premium craftsmanship featuring a fluid opening mechanism that slides open gracefully to reveal a polished keymat within, then slides closed smoothly for a poised and confident feel in the hand
• An ambient light sensor adjusts the brightness of the display according to the surroundings and the turn-to-mute feature lets users gracefully silence alarms and incoming calls with a simple turn of the device
• Geared for performance with an OLED display, 3.2-megapixel auto focus-camera, 3G connectivity, and 4GB internal memory for photos, videos and music
• Visuals from renowned designer Fritz Fitzke, inspired by nature with life, are complemented by compositions from master producers Kruder & Dorfmeister, creating a unique music experience
