It seems that Nokia will be upgrading its high on price and low on features, 8800 soon. Its dubbed as Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition and is expected to feature a 2 megapixel camera and a new keypad with some new exterior styling.
The word is not out from Nokia but a German website is taking pre-orders of this phone which is expected to come in two variants, black and silver. The site sells them for 831.20 Euros which comes to around 1069 USD.
UPDATE: Another German portal is selling the Sirocco Edition at a higher price which says that there will be no cam upgrade.
UPDATE 2: Carphone Warehouse will also start selling it from September. Article here.
UPDATE 3: Nokia announces 8800 Sirocco Edition
UPDATE 4: CNET reviews 8800 Sirocco.

Wow! I’m looking forward to this one!
The current 8800 is a stunning phone to look at but is seriously lacking in features.
I hope the Sirocco Edition has atleast a 2MP Camera with expandable memory as that’s where the current model really falls down.
I get the feeling this phone is gonna cost a small fortune though grrr, still I expect Xpango.com will add it to their range of free phones you can get, which for me is a much better option than paying over a $1000 for a phone!!

[...] The Nokia 8800 Scirocco edition hasn’t been officially announced by Nokia yet, so it will only get an honorable mention. It’s expected to have a 2 megapixel camera and all other standard functionality. It will be available in silver and black and will cost around $1000 (!) – quite expensive one.

I have the current 8800. This new one looks sexy!
So I just hope the battery life is better than my one. Tends to die within a few hours of regular use.

[...] So after keeping mum for almost a month after the first photos showed up of 8800 Sirocco Edition, Nokia has finally announced it.

Nokia suggests the retail price to be around €1000 ($1273). Feast your eyes with one more pic after the jump. [...]
