Nokia's 8800 Sirocco features "sonic texture" by Brian Eno

Everyone is talking abou Nokia's new 8800 model, and I had gathered the main difference with the previous model, was the upgraded 2 megapixel camera feature. But what I missed is the "sonic texture" feature, created by ambient music innovator Brian Eno. [via Digital Trends]

"In pop circles, Eno is best known as one of the prime movers behind Roxy Music and a key force in the production team that's turned Irish band U2 into a worldwide phenomenon, but he's also regarded as one of the fathers of ambient music."

Just as a reminder, the earlier model launched in April 05, the Nokia 8801, included a signature ringtone "Dharma", by an award-winning composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Sakamoto was commissioned to compose the ringtones and alerts."
