A phenomenal phone, eye catching and a real head turner.
The high quality casing is a delight to look at and the gold certainly catches the eye. That is if you happen to like golden accessories as some would say it's over the top. The leather on the back and front earns high marks - it's warm to the touch making the phone very pleasant to hold. The handset is naturally quite heavy given the materials it's made of, but this simply adds to the overall air of quality it gives off.
Upgrading a phone from the 8-series is obviously not about enhancing the capabilities - it's about using even more exclusive materials and denying common sense. After all, previous 8-series owners are unlikely to suddenly jump to Symbian or E-series unless they start gold-plating those as well.
By the way, the Gold Arte is probably targeting all of those Luna and Sirocco users who decided to… um… save their cash and skip the Sapphire and Carbon generation and jump at the next big thing. The Gold Arte will also most probably be quite popular among the ladies as well.

It's the Arte series and you're more likely to want one than own one.
There's no point going on and on about the market and pricing or the aesthetic value of the Arte handsets. There's no denying their seductive power or their inherent technical handicap. What you have is so hard - and so easy - to resist. So, suit yourself.
Mobile phones have long become a commodity and we guess there's no reason to be bitter with the Arte series for being among the last strongholds of luxury. And by the way, we believe the Nokia approach does more for the brand in the long run than the co-branding projects of the competition.
