The New Nokia Carbon Arte Attempts to Prove the Cell Phone is Not Dead
It's not a Blackberry. It's not an iPhone. It's just a phone. The new Nokia Carbon Arte attempts to prove that the cell phone is not dead.It has panels crafted with leather from Eastern India. Its sister phone, the Sapphire Arte has a sapphire "select" key. Both phones include a "groovy" soundtrack by Austrian duo Kruder & Dorfmeister. Each has a 3.2 megapixel camera, 1 GB of built-in memory, and 3G capabilities. We like the weight, the way it slides open to reveal the keypad (shown), and the really cool silencing mechanism -- if you turn over the phone to screen-side-down when it's ringing, it stops.
Is the heyday of the cell phone over? At 1000 - 1500 euros, this is definitely a luxury item, but who among the elite wants a phone that doesn't surf the web?
| Yes. Blackberries and iPhones, and whatever is next. | |

| No, cell phones are still a great luxury item |

I had a Nokia 8890 for years and a Luna now. These are the best phones ever. Everything you needed in a phone, nothing you didn't. Blackberry is a good mobile email device, iphone is a good Web device, but nothing beats simple, stylish, and easy.
