There are good phones and there are bad phones. And there also are expensive ones for no reasonable feature that would make sense in a mobile phone. That’s what I though about Nokia 8800 series when it came out in early December last year, had its season’s shopping craze and then, sort of, forgotten, because crisis has broke out. And now, would you believe, there is a new 8800 series entrant. Only rumored and not confirmed in any way Nokia Erdos seems to me so far that it follows its predecessors right by their footsteps, but is it?At the moment I am not prepared to compare Erdos with anything we have in upcoming list for rest of the year. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is probably going to cost roughly the same money as Erdos, but it is a highly poised multimedia and messaging smartphone while Erdos is said to come with Symbian S60. Yes, designer’s work stands up. The whole body is crafted out of a single piece of metal (116.9 x 50.3 x 15 mm), smart keyboard rises up a bit for more comfortable typing position when the front panel slides down, 2.4 inch 320 x 240 OLED display is hidden under glass that isn’t transparent when display is not active. And while we are on features, camera has 5 MP, Carl Zeiss lens, autofocus, dual LED flash and video recording. Connectivity has tri-band GSM, dual-band WCDMA at its disposal, Wi-Fi and A-GPS.
Well, unlike previous 8800 series, Nokia Erdos is nice to look at, has a very progressive OLED display and, I’m guessing, will sell exactly as good as before because it’s a niche thing. Have to warn you though, Erdos hasn’t been confirmed by Nokia so farm but as far as we know it will be soon – sales start in October.
