Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte - Desperately want 1!

Not sure if I am posting in the right place but I would like some advice please...
End of last year I looked into buying a Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte and found a good deal with Orange. However as I was going abroad for a couple of months and wouldn't be using the phone, I thought it pointless to sign up to a new contract however upon my return the phone had disappeared off their website and off every other network provider's too! I have looked everywhere and cannot find a single contract deal anywhere.
I have seen the Carbon Arte but don't like it as much as the Sapphire version so does anyone have any idea why it's not available anywhere? or if you know of a deal, please let me know asap.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer.

it will be available somewhere might take some searching though ,have you tried any good online retailers
heres a place ive found i dont no there rep as im not living in uk
http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Nokia/8800+Sapphire+Arte.html

If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
Now using the Lumia 1520

I've just bought a new Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte. I already registered the MyNokia with the serial number and the model came out as Nokia 8800 instead of Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte. Anybody could help me on identifying this phone whether it is a genuine Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte? Thank you very much. Your suggestion/opinion/advice/experience are all welcome. I wish I can identify the phone as soon as possible.

How to delete all sent sms in nokia 8800 sapphire ...

i have this nokia 8800 sapphire arte brown from china version.
i can send text msg very well, but in the sent box i dont see anything --- i tried everything but wont see - now end up with can not receive msg in because it's kept saying SIM MEMORY FULL CAN NOT RECEIVE SMS ... I LOOK AND DIG INTO THE PHONE TO FIND THE PLACE TO DELETE THOSE SENT MSG BUT COULDN'T FIND THEM.. PLEASSE HELP.

If your phone is refusing to receive messages claiming that the reason for this is because the SIM card is full then it is not a genuine Nokia phone that you have. Your so-called Chinese version is in fact a Chinese counterfeit.
Nobody here can help you with that.

Whats the Changelog for 8800 Sapphire Arte & 6120 ...

Hello there, I really would like to know the changelogs of 8800 sapphire arte and the 6120 classic, I tried searching and I entered the page which is provided in the sticky thread but they didn't mean anything about these two phones, changelog and source would be appreciated

i'm afraid Nokia does not release official chnagelogs for it's updates.
your best chance is to find an unofficial one around the internet based on hand-on trials..

NOKIA 8800 CARBON ARTE HELP!!!!!

Hi
I have a Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, cannot seem to get predictive text messaging in English, its only Chinese and other languages. Can anyone help with this please.
Also, when I download my software and pit my USB cable in, nothing happens. Help please.
Thank you in advance

All Nokia phones have English and other languages.
The fact that yours doesn't and that the phone isn't recognized when you plug it into your computer leads me to believe that you have a fake. There's a huge number of fake 8800's available on the web, in particular in places such as eBay where most phones on sale are fakes.

NOKIA 8800 CARBON ARTE

Hello, I would like to ask what is the ESN number on the Nokia 8800 Carbon arte ? Is it possible to fake this number ? What kind of manufacturers warranty is included ? 1 year warranty ?
Thank you for the answers.

It's a fake.
"ATTENTION : NOKIA PC SUITE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS PHONE, BUT YOU CAN STILL ACCESS TO YOUR 4GB MEMORY THROUGH YOUR USB CABLE USING YOUR COMPUTER."
PC Suite is compatible with a genuine 8800. The only reason this phone is not compatible with PC Suite is because it's not a Nokia phone.
Plus the too-good-to-be true price of $199 is a dead giveaway. The 8800 Carbon Arte is normally worth around $1500.
The photos that are not blurry look genuine enough, but there's nothing to guarantee that you'll get the phone that's actually in those photos.
If you buy this phone, the seller will disappear off the face of the earth as soon as they receive your money and you will not be able to get your money back when you realize that you've been sold a fake Nokia.

Hi,
Best advice I can provide is to stay clear of auction sites with offers that sound too good to be true !
Pay that bit more money and get piece of mind, an original and the guarantee to back it all up.

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte: Made in Germany, Korea, Fi...

Hallo.
Ein Auktionangebot: "
100% Original Nokia 8800 Arte Carbon ((Made in Korea)) und nur das ist Original,nicht China oder Finland,weil das ist zu 100% nicht Original,kann man aber in jedem Handyladen nachfragen,kostet ja nicht´s.
Also: mein vor 2 Jahren bei Amazon gekauftes ist lt. Aufdruck Made in Germany
Ist obiges Angebot jetzt ein echtes Handy (Rechnung soll von Logitel.de aus einem Vertrag sein), oder gehe ich hier das Riskio eine Billig-Asia-Imports ein?
Danke für Tipps,
Mike

I already know that information, but can you be more specific. The dought that I have is related with the type: RM-288. Is this a valid firmware for nokia 8800 carbon arte?
None of the information that you have copied from the label relates to a firmware version. However, if they are definitely offering you a phone with RM-288 as the number, then be suspicious. Genuine 8800 Carbon Arte models should be RM-233 for the main tri-band and 3G-capable version, or RM-451 for the dual-band non-3G model sold in some markets.

The 8800 Carbon Arte comes with a high price tag (around £1000) for a reason. Anyone trying to sell you a so-called "genuine" article at a cut-down price is either selling you hot goods, in which case you become an accessory to a crime if you buy one, or they're trying to sell you a fake.

I have found several people here in my hometown trying to sell fake 8800's too. I have found that there are threads on the Internet that say the real ones were made in Korea, but as always you cannot be sure. However, there is a fantastic website here: http://www.numberingplans.com/?page=analysis&sub=imeinr
Just enter the IMEI of the device, and it will tell you whether its valid or not. There have been some IMEI's that it doesn't have on its database, but these are few and far between. I use this as a tool to check that phones bought are real and not fake. I would also check if the phone is stolen or not, by checking your region's databases.

Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte Proving That t is Fake

So I have already figured out that my Carbon Arte is fake. It says Comport and Webcam when I plug it to the computer. The functions for tap for clock and turn over for mute also do not work. And finally the year that is on when I put in *#0000# the date is yyyy/mm/dd which is wrong and and finally when I put in *#7780# nothing changes. I bought this from ebay and I filed a Paypal dispute claim with the guy. How will I be able to prove to Ebay and Paypal that this item is indeed a fraud?
Thanks

Guys, I have removed the last few posts of this thread because we cannot have abusive behaviour between members.
It appears, regretfully, that incorrect information has been given by the UK contact centre in this case, I will follow this up. I can confirm that no genuine Nokia device has a "Webcam" connection mode. The available modes are:
(1) PC Suite mode (referred to as Nokia mode in some older device)
(2) Mass storage mode (referred to as Data Storage or Data Transfer mode on some models)
(3) Image Transfer mode and Media Transfer mode (on S60 devices, for S40 devices these are combined into a single Printing and Media mode).

Fake Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte

I've fallen in the small print trap with Ebay and bought a fake but.............is there any software, programs, firmware or help at all since now i have to live with this thing.
Disappointed with my fake.........

The operating system in your fake phone is not a Nokia O/S. Nobody knows what it is. Not knowing what's powering your phone, nobody can guess at what software will work with it - if any.
You will not get firmware updates either.
As you can imagine, the people in China have your money now and will wash their hands of you completely. You have no warranty and no user support. Customer support is not the main concern of these people. Customer fleecing is.

Nokia 8800 arte

Hey everyone, im looking to buy a nokia 8800 arte, couple of questions.
Nokia 8800 Arte, Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte, Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte,Nokia 88000 Gold.
If im correct these are all the 8800's
Just a couple of questions.
Do all of them have 4GB Memory? Just wanted to make sure because some sites state that some have 1GB memory and some have 4GB Memory?
Do every single one of these phones have the same features?
If someone could please compare and contrast them for me that would be lovely?
Also im aware their are a couple of fakes out there, just wondering if 400-500 dollars for a brand new unlocked one is gauranteed fake?
Message Edited by 613bulletproof on 12-Feb-2009 03:22 AM

Hi
Yes they are all 8800's
$500 dollars seems a little light even for the 8800 arte !
This is £348'ish in sterling and you would be hard pressed to get a used handset in the uk for that unless its on a contract.
Be safe and not sorry... purchase from a reputable online or highstreet retailer. Steer clear of auction sites in my humble opinion.
I have the original 8800 arte and it has 1gb of memory. The sapphire is the same.
