Nokia 8801, non-luxury luxury phone
About has a very brief review of the Nokia 8801. The reviewer has only looked at the most basic functions, yet found flaws in the speakerphone, keypad and the menu navigation.
It's tricky to make luxury versions of devices that are technically speaking commodities. How do you make the phone itself that much better that it motivates a high price? It probably would have been better to start with a good existing phone platform, like the one used in the N70, and then add external "bling bling" to it. Simpler and safer.
