What is sleek, encased in premium leather in India, and worth $1275?

Yes, we could always go, a Louis Damier luggage but hardly. Phones also are fashionable especially when its retail price could feed one barangay in Nueva Viscaya.

Say HELLO TO THE NOKIA 8800 Sapphire Arte.

Nokia is the only cellphone provider that can convene a crowd as powerful as last Saturday’s under the Marquee’s Tent in Shangrila Hotel, Mactan. With its almighty PR, promotions that scream PREMIUM and a marketing crew that can move an entire entourage of media plus a curious glamarazzi. Eight iconic Cebuanos were each hailed for their own craft, thus, such characteristic and feature is very much inculcated in the Nokia 8800. The Movement of Eight are: Glen Soco, Mariquita Salimbangon-Yeung, JP Chiongbian, Yedda Romualdez, Kenneth Cobonpue, Margueritte Lhuiller, Butch Carungay, and…

…most iconic is Miss Gwen Garcia. In a sea of metallic colors, she stood out in that lovely Cary Santiago gown.

The Sapphire could make a great accessory - I bet it is responsible for 70% of the phone’s retail.

If someone bombed The Marquee that night, then half of Cebu’s powerful figures would be gone – and so are the beautiful, so are the beautiful people.

Thank you to Nikka Abes from Nokia, Michelle Torres from GFX and to the photos from these brilliant eyes. I hope your holy week was a blast cause mine certainly was. Keep posted for StyleCebu goes to Cagayan de Oro.

owerful figures would be gone – and so are the beautiful, so are the beautiful people.iant eyes.
