In most respects the Nokia 8801 is identical to the Nokia 8800 other than the use of 850/1800/1900 MHz rather than 900/1800/1900 MHz on the Nokia 8800. The Nokia 8801 was introduced in North America and uses the frequencies predominant in North America of 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. The Nokia 8800 was first introduced on 7 April 2005 and was commercially available in the United Kingdom in October 2005 on the O2 mobile phone network.

They still sound remarkably melodious, especially the versions of Grand Vals by Francisco Tarrega, better known as the Nokia tune, the iconic ringtone that still graces Nokia devices today.The Nokia 8800 (pronounced eighty-eight-hundred) is a luxury mobile phone produced by Nokia, based on the Nokia Series 40 operating system. The phone's most notable feature (apart from its eye-watering price tag) was a collection of exclusive ringtones composed by musician Brian Eno.

In another nod to better ergonomics, the keypad was redesigned with larger calling buttons and an improved cursor key. The casing was stainless steel, coloured black rather than the original's fingerprint-attracting shiny finish, and featured a larger 'thumb notch' to slide the case open. The camera was upgraded to two megapixels, and the battery capacity boosted in an effort to overcome the original's notorious shortcoming in this area. The phone's technology remained essentially the same - 2G connectivity, a 208 x 208 pixel screen, and the Series 40 'dumb' operating system, rather than Nokia's Series 60 platform, which allowed users to install a variety of apps. This edition launched in 2006, a year after the original model, and with a similar price tag. The Sirocco Edition was a continuation of Nokia's high-end luxury 8800 mobile phone.
