Frank Nuovo, Nokia's chief designer, calls the 8800 series cell phone his dream project. He waited a decade for phones to get small enough and when they did, he wouldn't give the design to anyone else. Phones have had fashion cachet for years, first small gray ones, then colored and textured ones. For the 8800 series, he buried the antenna inside the case, and used deliciously curvy polished chrome for a slide-out--not flip-down--mouthpiece. The result is an elegant personal accessory. The difference between costume jewelry and the real thing._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ |
