Good Points

The most stylish phone on the market!


Bad Points

OK, it doesn't have every gadget like some other phones but it does everything I need.
Battery life could be better but it's certainly not bad. Much improved over the original 8800.


General Comments

This is a great phone! I'm thrilled I got it. It looks the business, and I don't know anyone else who has one!
I use my phone mainly, surprisingly, to make phone calls! I send a few texts now & then. I occasionally take a photo. I want to be able to sync my contacts with my e-mail app (Outlook & Notes). I want an alarm clock. That's about all of my main needs......I don't need/want a built-in espresso maker or surround sound system! This phone fits my needs perfectly.
It comes with a nice desk & travel charger, compact bluetooth headset, wired headset, spare battery, real leather pouch (even smells of good leather!) & chamois cloth.
Each battery lasts me a few days with pretty regular calls. Not like the old Nokia 6310's that seemed to last forever on a charge, but not a problem either. I bought a USB charger for convenience.
Get one. You know you want it! You cannot fail to be impressed. It is a step above any other phone I've looked at or used, in terms of sheer class. By classy, I mean that it's not flashy.....it just looks the part. I'm not a snob at all, but I'm enjoying having the best phone/gadget for a while!
Go for the black one. The silver is a bit too shiny and the plastics on the rear look cheap.
Yes, it picks up fingerprints but it hasn't bothered me nearly as much as I thought it might. I clean it sometimes with a camera lens cloth (same as a glasses cloth) which does a better job than the Nokia chamois.
One tip.......I couldn't work out how to change the earpiece volume during a call so I called the special sirocco exclusive premium helpline (did I mention this phone is classy?!) because I couldn't find the answer in the book......press the joypad to the right during a call to increase the volume, and left to decrease. That solved the only niggle that I had, which was that I was struggling to hear in a noisy environment. Not anymore!

Just get one!
