Nokia Announces New Bling-Phones for Oz

Nokia made a rather large deal last night of the launch of two new “fashion phones”. The Nokia 8800 Arte ($1799) and Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte ($2099) are the latest iterations of the 8800 line designed for people with too much money to spend on their mobile phones. They were launched in Europe in November, but have finally reached our shores. You can find more images and info below the fold.
