Nokia 6800
Product Rating     
Messaging reaches new levels of ease and efficiency with the Nokia 6800 phone. This unique 2-in-1 product has been especially designed for easy text input and quick access to text-based applications, using the integrated full keyboard. When you turn the phone horizontally and open it up, you'll be presented with a full keyboard. You can even start writing a message with the cover closed, and continue with the cover open. With its efficient and unique design, the Nokia 6800 lets you write more easily and effectively. The concatenated messaging function lets you write much longer messages, and the distribution list function will allow you to send a message to several persons at a time. With multimedia messaging (MMS), you can receive messages containing a mixture of text, polyphonic sound, and an image, which can be saved as a ringtone or as wallpaper; you can also send and forward messages containing images and text to other MMS compatible phones. Polyphonic ringtones and an integrated stereo FM radio offer you a high-quality sound experience. SyncML compatibility allows you to synchronize personal data remotely over a network. With the Notes feature, it's easy to take short meeting minutes, capture your thoughts, or keep a diary.

Reviewed by Anim on 05-09-2004 Being a student and cant afford large phone bills I wanted something that would allow me to text easier. The keyboard feature on this phone is excelent. I can type a full reply to mates in seconds. With a 500 text contract it saves me a huge amount of money whereas other phones I would rather ring them then attempt to text. On the downside my phone broke after 8 months heavy use so i bought a cheapo pay n go one until my contract allows me to upgrade to the 6820 (one month to wait). I miss the keyboard so much :| If you text a lot then the Nokia Keyboard phones are fantastic. Rating:    
Reviewed by Phil on 19-08-2004 6800 is the best Nokia in my opinion. I've used Nokias for many years and have tried lots of different models. This one replaces my Nokia 3650 which was excellent, but the 6800 excells. The unique feature of this model is the keyboard, which makes texting so simple. High quality colour screen, wireless connection to laptop, handsfree, email and generous memory all help to make this phone the best. Nokia PC SUite software is excellent. One thing missing is voice dialling. Rating:    
Reviewed by Harry Cahill on 05-12-2003 Had the 6800 for a couple of weeks now. Very impressed. I\'ve had a number of Nokia handsets at this stage and I\'m starting to realise that with Nokia it\'s rarely a question of quality or lack theoreof - the quality is usually good. It\'s more about suitability, whether you\'ve you selected the appropriate handset... The 6800 is for me. This is because I have been reluctant to accept that e-mail is something you need to be at home or at least stationary (like in a cafi) to engage in. I\'ve felt for a year or so now that I wanted e-mail, that one should have e-mail with no hassle when one is on a train/whatever. However, although many handsets boast e-mail, many let you down. They either don\'t have POP3 or IMAP, or they just don\'t make it easy for whatever other reason. One reason is the fact that you have to input via a traditional, numerical keypad. The 6800 has the regular, old traditional numerical keypad - but also folds open to reveal a full QWERTY. This, together with slow but reliable e-mail client, Notes application, larger memory than typical on phones and simple transfer to PC via admitedly overpriced lead that must be purchased separately means many people would judge that they have a laptop. Me, for example. Can you get Word? No. Internet Explorer. No, maybe someone will introduce such things in third part apps but... I never considered a laptop for any of that. I just wanted to be able to type a little/e-mail a little. The 6800 is great. It opens up sexily and is thumb-based. The phone has a variety of other functions, many casual additions that are part and parcel of Series 40, I think that\'s what the little OS is called. I\'m talking about lark like the Countdown Timer, Timed Profiles, Colour Screen, MMS.. there\'s also a radio which was a compelling point for me. There\'s a clatter of stuff and to ascertain exactly what check Nokia.com The only other point I should make is that the 6800 is robust. It shouldn\'t be transported without protection. I got a great pouch for a tenner. I find it\'s far easier these days to find appropriate cases/pouches in digital camera shops by the way. But yeah... it\'s a robust phone. It\'s v. comfortable to hold and it\'s clear and strong physically and in terms of the audio. It\'s a great little brother to your PC if you have one. Together they make a lot more sense than a PC and a laptop which these days seems like two of the same. It looks cool too by the way. Nokia\'s experimental range always look a bit different in snaps to when you actually own them. They\'re better in the flesh! Rating:    
Reviewed by Andrew Lawton on 03-11-2003 Well I purchased this phone a while ago and all I can say is WOW! This phone is perfect for anyone who lives life on the move, it has everything you need to stay in touch with people through a number of ways (example sms, mms, e-mail, chat but to name a few). It matches the nokia 3410 in size but has many benefits over most phones today, the intergrated keyboard is a great feature on this phone. It makes writing e-mail and texts a doddle and lets face it while texting through a \"normal\" phone with dictionaries is good nothing beats being able to type whatever you like with having to go through every word possible from the key strokes you make. The only improvement I would make is to have bluetooth instead of infrared but overall an outstanding phone TOP MARKS Rating:    
Reviewed by Pete on 04-07-2003 Have been using Nokia 6800 for 6 weeks now. My best phone yet, asd would not liek to return to my previous one (Nokia 9210i) any more. This is very practical, keypad is still big enough to be usable, and the size is small enough when keypad is folded in. E-mail syncro with Exchange works well, and battery life is excellent. Only minusa: a bit too slow e-mail client. Rating:
