Had nokia Luna nearly three years now and cannot find a phone anywhere near as good! The style is unique and very high class. The only downside is battery life - getting about two days out of it - perhaps a new battery will solve this. An exceptional phone

i love the uniquie design of the Luna and it's an easy phone to use. It's strong and the weight of the phone is not a problem.. However, the camera is poor quality and the memory space isnt very sufficient, and it wont let me receive mms.

Phone is very fragile. if dropped glass screen may crack. Personally, after 1 year and a cracked screen the software decided not to work. Choose another phone. Battery doesnt last long either.

As lovely as the phone looks, no flash is a let down. I'm rather clumsy so both screen and cover have suffered, this may have added to the sound too. The built in browser would not allow some well used sites, I've had to install a seperate browser for this. I'm not a great fan of nokia and will be going back to sony after 4 months with my luna. Stylish look, thats the only selling point for me.

very bad experience. i liked the phone form the first sight bought it, and problems started next day. i was having a difficulty with network, and several times, the phone was restarting just by itself, whil i was talking on it. brought it back to the shop, they said it might be a SIM card problem, went to get a duplicate of my sim card, problem was still there. shop got it and repaired it for 2 weeks. ad guess what: same problem. i had to give it back to the shop after one month.

Worst phone I have ever encountered, and I am litrally counting the days to shaft it. Camera is OK, but the video quality is absolutly diisgraceful. Memory is non-existant. Awful internet connection etc etc. It's just crap...use a Heinz tin with string instead.

Ive had my phone for six months now and i can't think of any phone that has been better for me. My 8310 may be close but no cigar! Ha ha. Seriously though I love everything about it, I've never had any problems, the battery has been great and so has the reception. My only complaint would be the terrible case that you get with it which tookabout two weeks to fall apart. All in all a great bit of kit.

looks very cheap compared to the sirocco 8800.its like the normal wanna be slide nokia's, as for the 8800 sirocco its shape and outside look is of elite as ever with the unseen buttons and thumb imprint. nokia could do beter with this 8600.

Absolutely love this phone it looks totally awesome, the build quality is superb. i have no regrets from switching from my old sirocco phone 7 months and had no faults. it does what it needs to do - make calls, receive calls and texting ! if u want a complicated phone that does everything then go get a laptop ( you can do much more with a laptop then u can with a mobile phone , or something or want to take a half decent photo or video clip then use a proper camera, or if you want to play games on it then go get a PSP !! Well done to Nokia for producing a stylish 8 series range of quality phones !!

I love this phone, had it since June 2007 and now can get a free upgrade - actually have said the wife that she can have a phone, I cannot see anything that I would rather have to the 8600. Only minor niggle is the camera - although I have a digital camera and only use the phone camera about once a month. This phone is cool, different and classy. Get one now!

I have had the Luna for 3 months now, got it second hand from ebay! Purely fantastic phone if you are a lover of the 8 series. Does what the eight series is designed for... a touch of class and makes perfect calls and sends perfect text messages. Looks a million dollars. For features it is somewhat limited but thats fine for me, if you want more features with a plastic cheaper feel go for the N series. Battery I find very reasonable much better than the first 8800's. Text messages I find easy to type and fast even though it is a small keypad. Be sure to buy this phone!!! :-D

Bit of a mixed bag to be honest this phone. Amazing looks and build quality is fantastic. Battery life not half as bad as the idiots in phones4u told me. However ive owned the phone since october 07, and since about 3 months ago nearly every conversation ive had has resulted in the phone cutting out and turning itself off. Oh well maybe one day they will make a phone that everyone gives 5/5. or maybe im just bitter because i dropped it last night and the glass screen is smashed, could be, yeah it is!!

i had this fone for a few days then trade it for the w910i also a big mistake. The 8600 has absolutely rubish memory and feel taky! even for the money! the glass which its famous for seems to be plastic! the fone is also not very good for the heafty price tag which i had to pay! it was on pay as you go so it cost around 600 which i my head is a waste of money! do not get this phone

An absolute outstanding phone!! Looks and feels great, has an awesome battery life and is perfectly weighted. the design is second to none, the keypad pulsating behind the smoked glass is one hell of a nice feature. the call quality and loudspeaker are good whilst the videoing isnt;-) This the the ultimate phone, i have owned many phones, most recently the LG SHINE and nokia 6300 but this one is way way way ahead of them all. GO AND BUY ONE (OR TWO)!!!!!!!!!
