8800

Overview

Original 8800 centres on stainless steel, a spring-assisted slider and Ryuichi Sakamoto audio, combining Series 40, SVGA imaging, FM and Bluetooth stereo with a distinctive physical design.

Period and variants

Nokia announced 8800 on 7 April 2005 with second-quarter availability in selected markets planned. The Americas 8801 and later Sirocco / Arte remain separate. Reinforced scratch-resistant glass is not sufficient evidence for sapphire. Original audio is credited to Ryuichi Sakamoto.

The guide describes approximately 52 MB Gallery capacity. Reviewed free space varies with software and bundled files and does not establish RAM. Actual photographs and both inspections support 800 × 600 SVGA capture; an inconsistent SXGA comparison label is rejected.

Bluetooth 1.2 includes A2DP / AVRCP, while wired audio is mono. Bluetooth music support does not establish stereo FM. The original has no card slot, infrared or consumer USB synchronization; internal service contacts are separate. Its removable 600 mAh BL-5X is kept distinct from Sirocco batteries. A second battery and desk stand describe the original documented package.
