LOOK PEOPLE THIS PHONE IS ONLY A PHONE NOT A SMARTPHONE(iphone, nexus one, htc) :-) I bought this phone, and it was used for 3 years full really mean with no extra protection. It looks really good, the only thing tha surprise me is just batterylife. The price tag is just right for this phone. I still have this "old" phone. The design is timeless

Hi all, I am an X Nokia 8800 owner who after much thought moved to the iphone. I have had and enjoyed the iphone for about 18 months now; however, I am now finding myself in a strange place. I miss my 8800! It was the closest thing to phone perfection I have ever owned. OK, the camera wasnt very good and it had a small screen and little to no gadgets. It certainly didnt have any apps to entertain you, but what it did have was style and it had that in abundance. It was without a doubt the slickest, coolest, most expensive looking phone I have ever owned and I so, so, so want it back! I miss you 8800. Come back to me! :)

The nokia 8880 is a great phone. It offers elegance, and style. Everything works well, the games, the bluetooth, but there is a problem... All the buttons are extremely smal, and while texting someone, it takes ages to even write a sentence. This is the only larger problem. I still have the phone, and I'm happy with it for now :)

The floaw of this phone is the batt life sucks and the buttons expecially towards the bottom are hard to press. The cursur keys are kinda small but not a big issue, overall i like the phone despite of the few flaws.

I first owned this phone in 2006 and regreted the day I ever got rid of it. In 2009 I bought another as no other phone could come close to its style and quality. There are some things you should know about this phone; the battery life isn't good (but they give you a spare one!) nor is not jam packed with features. If you want a phone that just is simply the most stylish quality around this is it.

I love it! I waited until now to buy it, due to the high price. Those guys are very rich or crazy who bought it for that much money... I paid 200 EUR only, but each single cents were worth. I love the quality of the phone, and really enjoy using it. The touch of the phone and the slide is brilliant. Even the accessories look good and work fine. I really miss quality components and desktop chargers from other models. The only thing I could complain about is buttons *,0 and #, as they are difficult to reach. And the poor battery of course, but I'm not complaining: I have the desktop charger in my office, anytime I'm not using the phone, it's standing in the charger. At least I always know where I put it. Highly recommended now, that the price is acceptable! Multimedia-freaks should forget it: if you want nice pictures get a camera, if you want quality sound get an ipod - but if you want the best phone ever get a 8800!

Always been a Nokia fan and this is no exception. This is amazingly built and feels "right" to hold in your hand. It feels and looks class, unlike most phones which feel cheap and nasty. I have had the 8800 for over a year now and its pretty cheap to buy now. The only thing i will stress is the battery is not the best, 2 days at the most. A phone built to last.

on christmas 2005,my wife bought me this phone. In six months the back button (top right) stoped working. And I went to the nokia servce centre. And after looking at they said I have to spend Au$250 to get my phone fixed. I was so astonished that I even told them it's expensive and I shouldn't ever get another nokia. Guess what?? they said - "They Don't Care!!" Yes, I was loyal to nokia. since the day I start using cell phone, I am using nokia. My wife and son using nokia. But after all this........ I guess we will look for some other brand who cares about their customes and who delivers great support and products...... and that would be apple........

A really stylish & classy unit indeed, however utility could be improved if the battery package is upgraded to give more life without personal (health risk) damage to the owner. At this price the phone should be supplied with a leather case which should protect the corners of the phone in case of accidental drop. It is extemely difficult to locate and purchase a leather case as an after market product. Additionally, cases with magnetic clips may affect the LCD display and the risks to screen life should be mitigated and articulated to the customer. The phone's features are very encouraging to digital and electronic junkies and the back-up battery supplied (due to battery life incapability) is a great "mitigatory" design idea. Please use this feedback proactively. Good job - Nokia. rob005@tstt.net.tt

The 8800 is by far the worst phone I have ever owned and shockingly poor value for money. I thought nokia were being generous providing a spare battery - now i see it is a necessity. I haven't experienced such poor battery life since the NiCd battery powered phones of the mid '90s! And sound quality is atrocious. In addition my phone refuses to charge, 2 keys have fallen off, the slide cover spring is faulty and keeps cutting off calls. And my local Nokia store want me to pay to fix all these things!! After spending close to £500 on a phone! I have used Nokia phones for 10 years now. In fact only brand I have ever used. However this is my last Nokia ever. Done and extremely disappointed.

I am giving this phone 3 stars because I although I really do love it mine has been a real pain in the posterior! It looks fab feels great in the hand has more than enough features for my needs but my particular model has been back for repair 4 times always being returned with the same fault, it switches off mid call when showing full battery then comes back on again and cuts off again on the next call. Nokia has let me down as much as the phone and are one of the most frustrating companies to deal with, after 4 times I got a bit irrate on the phone when told I would have to return it once again and the girl hung up on me! I really would love this phone to work and feel very sad that I have had to keep loosing it. Take care if you get a phone from Nokia that does not work.. If you have this model and it does lucky you!

Very poor reception. Get one bar if I'm lucky inside a building. Can't see the screen outside in the daylight. The battery life started out poor (two days tops) and got worse. I work 12 hours and could not count on a freshly charged battery to last until I got home again. I had to carry a spare just to make it through the day. New batteries made no difference. I liked the FM radio part. However, listening to the radio shortened the battery life to around two hours. It managed to be the most expensive and worst phone I have ever owned at the same time. I'm just glad I "only" paid $1,000.00 for it in this overpriced country. For a bad investment, that's relatively inexpensive. I bought a much cheaper phone from another company and am very satisfied. I would like to buy an 8800 Sirocco edition because I have a VW Scirocco, but my 88000 sucks so much, I doubt I will ever buy another Nokia. I wish I could give the 8800 a - rating, but one star is the lowest I can choose.

i must confess i do like a good looking phone, as long as i can send a txt and call people whenever i want other features dont come into it for me so i upgraded from my 8910i to the 8800 phone looks great and is quite heavy, which i like, but the battery life is very disappointing, i sometimes find i have to charge it twice a day when in heavy use which is pathetic considering it cost me 200 quid. i am now contemplating selling it (after 3 months of owning it) not that i am interested but the camera is rubbish, havnt managed to sync bluetooth with anything yet, cant remove the memory card... u get the picture... but if u want your phone to look good (eventhough it will probably be off most of the time) then buy one, maybe as a showoff phone is that rocks your boat otherwise dont bother

I planned to buy this set immediately after seeing it for the first time. The look and feel of this mobile is just too amazing... One of the best Nokia has ever produced. The only short-coming I see is its battery time. Nokia 8800, a perfect blend of Style and sophistication.

I love this phone. I have had mine for a little over 15 months. Once you get used to the poor battery life its lovely and looks the bis.

Although this phone is expensive and the features are limited I still think it's an oustanding piece of kit. There's no doubt it puts style before function but in saying that it does everything you'd ask of a mobile to well enough, and lets remember thats what it is. There are plenty other models out there if gadgets and gizmo's are your cup of tea. As soon as you open the box you kno you have a quality product and like any new phone, once you get used to it, I'm surprise anyone would feel disappointed. One word of advice tho, as others have said, follow the instructions on charging the battery carefully to maximise life and use the navigation keys to adjust the speaker volume as the default setting is far too low! Enjoy

For the price a very poor phone, I was lucky enough to be able to afford such a phone as money is no object. But knowing what i know now i would of got a box standard phone. It looks very nice and goes with my style i would give the phone 3 out of 5 for functions and 5 out of 5 for stlye the only thing which i like about the phone is it looks good on me or maybe i make the phone look good.

this phone gives great emphasis to the phrase "looks can be decieving". although the phone does present a sleek and sophosticated look, the features are horrible. the phone is really below average, and the worst thing about the phone is its volume. HORRIBLE! I could barely hear a thing while talking, and even when u put it on speaker phone its not loud at all. nokia should really consider a re-call on this phone. NOT RECOMENDED!!

Everyone gets the 8800 for its looks - as did I, but I have to say, after 8 months use (I'm quite heavy on texting) I am desperate to get rid of it! It's useless! The battery dies after one day, calls are dropped (especially when you're talking on the phone and a text comes in), and the camera is temperamental. It's also difficult to scroll through texts and not really quick to delete them, unless you go for the "delete all" option, which is not necessarily practical. Shame, because the phone really does look the business, but I'm sure as many of the other reviewers have said, the basics are just not there, and even beauty needs a bit of practicality. It is with a heavy heart I will give it up, but I definitely will change it, as it drives me nuts!
