David.'s Review of Nokia 8290

Overall Rating
- Value for money
Very nifty size, good features, decent battery life.
Bad Points
The LCD screen is prone to failure.
General Comments
Nokia has recalled some newer 8290's, but I had mine too long to qualify. Some repair outlets have a repair kit for $45.00 to fix the problem. I recommend a couple accessories to ensure satisfaction. 1) Check online and find the carry case that looks like an eyeglass case. It holds the phone horizontally on your belt, thereby eliminating the forces on it when you sit down and stops it from popping off your belt. 2) Get the accessory that has a sliding cover over the keypad. It is easy to bump the little rascal on things, potentially causing damage or inadvertently making a call! It's easy to like the size (and weight), but it is a little bit more fragile. Funny, it's so small that people look at me weird when I'm using it - they can't see the phone inside my cupped hand so it looks like I'm talking to myself!
