Nokia 8800

The phone itself is old but doesnt seem to date as it still looks stylish and slick!! I would recommend the phone, but get a spare battery...preferably the extended 6x battery as the original just doesnt last long enough - Very poor battery life, but overall its a winner for me!!

The Nokia 8800 - exclusivity and style is what the 8800 is all about. The looks of the 8800 are unique. The phone's sliding keypad cover is made from stainless steel and is laser-cut for precision. The cover is engineered to be strong and to protect the phone. The screen is also built to last, being made from reinforced scratch-resistant glass, so your investment will be well protected. The keypad isn't the easiest to use, but it's OK. The phone is quite heavy, but feels good to hold. The overall impression of the phone is first class.

The 8800 has an exclusive user interface with its own styles, themes and ringtones. The ringtones were composed for the 8800 especially by the composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, although to be honest we don't know anyone who actually likes them. You might want to download your own!

Moving on from the look and feel of the phone, the 8800 isn't the best-specified phone around, especially when you consider the price tag. The camera is rather poor, although the display is excellent, with 262,000 colours and high resolution. The MP3 player supports both MP3 and AAC formats with stereo output via a conventional stereo headset (included) or an optional Nokia Bluetooth wireless headset. 3D games are supported, plus fast data transfer via EDGE. There is also an XHTML web browser.

The battery life of the 8800 is really quite poor. It does improve after a few full charging cycles, but is shockingly bad in the early days. Memory is adequate at 64 Mbytes, but not really sufficient to make full use of the video and music features of the phone. A memory card would have unlocked the full capabilities of the phone.

The sound quality is not up to standard. For a phone in this price bracket, that's pretty shocking. Nokia should have got the basics right.

Overall, the 8800 does its job. It impresses. It's a stunningly beautiful phone that looks good, is lovely to hold, and does enough to hold its own against the competition. If style is what matters to you, then you may love the Nokia 8800, but there are too many issues to ignore, particularly battery life and poor audio quality. It could have been a five star phone, but doesn't make the grade. The new Nokia 8800 Sirocco improves on the original.

A classy mobile handset, the battery life is just ok but easily remedied by purchasing a Nokia 8800 Sirocco battery as a replacement. The supplied desk top charger really sets the handset off too with it's eerie blue glow. the Nokia 8800 being from the their premium line means even the packaging oozes quality.

The features are perhaps a little basic compared to the latest handsets but all the necessaries are there including bluetooth. Construction is sublime with the handset having an all metal chassis wrapped in chrome, the sliding mechanism is a joy to use and operates with a smoothness akin to hot knives and butter!

All in all a great phone for looks and build quality and although it may lack much in the way of substance it more than makes up for it with style. Buy one and you won't be disappointed although don't forget the battery upgrade for a few pounds. A great mobile still worth a premium that certainly has the wow factor.

Good Mobile Great Functions I liked the colour and different features. good camera as well. lots of storage. a bit disappointed with its screen other wise all is good

liked it because of the gold colour but was not to impressed about the slider it was very stiff requires a bit of extra presure

the phone itself is fine BUT - The user manuel doesnt match up with the phone at all, and it isnt the real nokia Carbon arte its a cheap copy.

when the charger gave up i got in contact with him asking for my money back and he then left ebay to save himself. WHAT A C U N T

this phone is just the sort of phone i need , it wont fall to bit's when it fall's out of your pocket , and it will , it does exactly what it say's on the box. If you want more toy's than a phone buy a psp or some thing ,great phone will out live any on the market

It is a very solid well built phone that isnt overly crowded with technology and gadgets. It has a very smooth slider operation and lovely glass scratch resistant lens. It also looks and feels expensive.

I LIKED THE LOOK OF THE PHONE BUT DIDNT KNOW IT HAS A SHORT BATTERY LIFE BUT OTHER WISE ITS VERY GOOD PHONE

i purchase my item because i need them or for a freind or my fiance.
i prefer buying on ebay because it give verious options on the same product at compatitive prices,what i dislike is that before buying a product you are not sure if it is good on bad before bedding it just that you trust the message put on ebay by the seller.

It's an amazing cell phone, a classic with unbeatable style.
it's characteristics are in perfect harmony with the more recent models, for it's resistance and features are just like new models, or better.
I do recommend this design classic phone.
