Nokia responsible for 8800 Sirocco Gold?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Apr 14th 2007 at 6:18PM

There are any number of shops around the world that'll happily apply some excessive opulence to a 8800 Sirocco Edition for the appropriate amount of coin, but is Nokia itself getting in the game? This "Sirocco Gold" looks legit enough -- as does its packaging -- and rumors are swirling that the phone is now available in select corners of the world. One of those corners is eBay's German outpost, where an alleged Sirocco Gold can be had for the princely sum of €1,199 (about $1,620), which by our calculations puts the handset within shouting distance of lower-end (ha!) Vertus. Cannibalizing yourself a bit here, Nokia?

[Thanks, Mani S.]

The one at CTI isn't the nokia one...that one has been out for a while...it is by Soyn Design, i believe--tho someone may want correct me.

Therefore if you want the warranty, get the Nokia one, i bet golding your phone will void that warranty real quick!

$1920AUD??!! are you insane? sorry don't want to be mean or something but i can now walk to the streets in Hong Kong and get one for $8990HKD, that's 899 euros or just a shade over 110USD.
gets you one year warranty too!
and that price is bound to come down within 2 months of release, because nobody will buy it at that price.
