Nokia today unveiled the 8600 Luna, a luxury phone crafted from chrome, stainless steel and titanium.

A gentle keypad illumination pulsates from beneath the glass case while the phone awaits a call. When a call does beckon, the signature slide movement is carefully balanced to smoothly raise the ergonomic keypad from within its glass cocoon.

Nokia’s first use of a single micro-USB port not only allows for a streamlined design free of extraneous indentations, it allows owners to streamline common activities - like charging, audio and data connectivity - into a single connection. Quad-band GSM support also allows owners to easily stay connected while they are on the road, while the large, bright display is perfect for sharing images captured with the 2.0-megapixel camera.

The Nokia 8600 Luna is expected to be available during the 2nd quarter of 2007 at an estimated retail price of $700 before taxes and subsidies.
