Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition

Aston Martin and Nokia have formed an exclusive product alliance resulting in the launch of a stylish handset that incorporates the very latest digital technology, guaranteed to appeal to customers and enthusiasts around the world.

Each carefully detailed feature provides graphic evidence of the painstaking craftsmanship and quality, which is synonymous with the Aston Martin marque. The Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition draws from this same inspiration, as both are created to be objects of desire, seamlessly combining technology and craftsmanship in a classic, timeless form.


In addition to the Nokia 8800's standard ring tones, which were created for the phone by award-winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Nokia 8800 Aston Martin Edition comes loaded with a selection of exclusive Aston Martin content, including a short documentary film, striking wallpapers featuring the company's current range, a screensaver based on the famous crystal starter button found in all Aston Martin models, and ring tones that sample the evocative roar of the Vantage's (380 horsepower) V8 engine.


The bistable spring mechanism used in the sliding feature, which opens to reveal a concealed camera, uses ball-bearings more commonly found in high-performance cars, appropriately enough. Sliding open the phone is a precise and smooth movement and takes just a fraction of a second. The colour display is protected by a specially toughened glass screen, adding to the premium feel.

This exclusive iteration of the Nokia 8800, which will be manufactured in strictly limited numbers, will cost £800 excluding VAT. It is available from Aston Martin Dealers and via www.astonmartin.com.
