I can only rate this phone as a 5, as it's the only phone I have had.
Works a treat. Getting real beaten up look about it the alloy casing is worn & added personality. I've got no need to upgrade at all at the nokia 8850 continues to do the job very simply. I need another battery now (3rd one since new) as the charge does not last very long. Looks are classy & timeless. The buttons are very small but work well with firm large fingers as I have.

Written on: 24/09/2008 by Lawrenma2 (31 reviews written)
I bought this phone a few weeks ago refurbished from eBay for £20, as a result of being fed up carrying around huge PDA phones for the past few years. Given the fact that it's 9 years old, you have to allow for lack of camera, colour screen, etc but this is the best phone around for someone who wants a light phone which is purely for calls and texting. Also looked exceptionally good for a phone of this age and would recommend this to anyone. (read more)

The Nokia 8850 gorgeous phone, I love mine to the point i've taken her apart and she just is so easy to maintain and repair - good original quality housings are expensive and lack quiet a few components like the battery in the key pad (Hood the time/date) and the chassis is made out of little less metallic plasticky material without the originals shine the sticker and the battery compartment right hand plastic strip in the frame of the battery compartment.

The Nokia 8850 is the classiest mobile phone i've ever used. I simply love the slide which protects the keypad and ends the call.This phone comes with very basic features just like the 8210 though the price is way up there!The phone produces acceptable call quality though i experienced quite a number of dropped calls.Other than the display contrast problem which fades away sometimes,the display is clear and easy to read.The phone truly is in a class of its own and i find it a pleasure to...

I used this Nokia 8850 mobile phone for about 2 years. I initially bought it for the stylish design, appealing to all. But as some say, the functions on this phone are standard. Nothing special. This phone is for appearance.
However i have no complaints about it. It looks good and does what u need it to.

Written on: 10/05/2003 by Will.
Before I started to use the 8850, I thought it looked pretty smooth with its modern aluminium cover, but as usage started, I relised that looks aren't everything. The Nokia website promises 'calls when you speak' but even if you shout when you are setting the voicetags, it comes out almost silent. The games can be addictive and fun as you play whilst sitting at the busstop, but they cannot compare to the likes of the 3410 and Space Impact. When you are speaking, there is an echo, which gets...

The reason why you're having problemns with texting is because 8850 and all new phone come with Predictive texting meaning it can predict what you're saying. Read the manual to understand how it works!!!!!!

Written on: 19/04/2003 by NickXX.
I've had this phone one and a half years now. I bought a new 6610 last week, but will continue to use the 8850 as a 2nd phone. Basically it looks amazing, I can't state this enough. Look after it and it'll look amazing for years to come - the brushed aluminium design will never grow old. Mine has 2 or 3 small scratches on it, but generally looks new.
As far as underneath the shell goes, it's an 8210 with white LEDs. Software is pretty old now, but has T9 text input, an irda port,...

Overall, I feel this phone is one of the classiest ones you can score. In regards to costs, it's expensive if you want to KEEP THE PHONE FOR A LONG TIME cause you got to pay for those cases etc. But if it's a short term thing, I still (as well as everyone else I know) that it's a much cooler phone than all those new bright ones. Little things make it a good phone, but to be fair, it lacks features of many of the new ones. (it is a much older phone though). If I could, i'd take the board... (read more)

Personally Nokia 8850 allows me save 5 text messages between the inbox and outbox after that it states there is no more space for text messages. The actual reception isn't as high as it advertised to be. Okay where the phones features isn't all that you tend to over look all that by the look of the phone and generally because not much people have this model in UK, so its rare with people. (read more)

This Nokia 8850 is the best phone I have ever used (got it for 3 years so far!). Reliable SW & HW, easy to use, handy and it even looks good! It's not the most featured mobile but it does what it does perfect.
Display failures are common, but may be solved by opening the mobile and cleaning the display contacts. Attention, you will loose your warranty by opening the device. Use a Nokia service centre to do so.

I saw this Nokia 8850 mobile phone in the shop about 13 months ago. I had been looking for a phone to replace my old 6110 and there were other phones which had more features etc but i don't care about that - i want my phone to say something about me. So, rather than go for a drab 3310 or 3330 or 8210 which is what most went 4, i thought i'd b different and go 4 the sexiest phone on the market - my little annabelle (my pet name 4 my mobile!)

The Nokia 8850, along with the 8890 is, for me, without doubt, the best mobile phone on the market.
The only negative points i could think of when asked above, were the reception sometimes isn't as good as it should be and it can get scratched easily if you mis-treat it.
More stylish than any other phone out there and being a Nokia, testing and making / receiving calls is a breeze as ever.
Forget all this DigiCamPhone phone junk, a phone should be made with 'calls & texting' in mind, which...

For the price the Nokia 8850 mobile phone is, you expect more than the fact that not many people have them .. It is now pretty dated and has no great features.
A solid performer but if you want real style go for the Motorola V70 and if you want a solid performer stick to the Nokia 8210.

I have owned my nokia 8850 for approximately 12 months. There is no doubt that the phone is a good phone. It's a Nokia; what more can I say? No doubt nearly every other review has commented on the features of the phone, so I won't bother going into that - You know them all by now.
The 8850 is gorgeous. The backlight's colour is eye-catching and makes the phone stand out from the crowd. However, after 12 months of heavy use, the phone is showing signs of wear. The Nokia badge below the speaker...

the nokia 8850 fone straight up sucks major ass. it had no wap, it can only store 15 txt messages which is quite frankly very poor for a fone of this price. The backlight screen around the sides are too harsh on your eyes. The buttons are shaped to slim, to make a correct press i had to use the tip of my nails. When you want to dial a number because it had a slider over the keypad the fone becomes the same size as a 3210 plus the slider has a sharp bottom edges that digs into your palms. I... (read more)

I totally disagree with you. My mobile can store 30 SMS including pictures!!! Ok the phone don't have WAP but i think the problem is with you not the phone, you are the one who buy the phone and you should know all the specifications. You should also know the size of the phone and the key before hand rather than complaining after you bought it.

Exactly. Check out the phone before you buy and complain. Also, the number of SMS you can store will vary depending on the SIM card as they are stored on the SIM (possibly the phone can store some too).

Just bought my new Nokia 8850 and all I can say is that this phone is daaaarrrrkkkkkkkk! If this phone were a woman it would be Sophie Blake, Kate Groombridge and Dido all rolled into one - Grrr!
More substantively the features are mainly in the Nokia 6110/50, 3210 etc vein. Nothing wrong with that, but nothing particularly revolutionary either. Only gripe, as mentioned, is that my old Nokia 7110 had a far greater sms capacity and speedier typeface, but so what? This phone's a babe!

er why do you seem to think that pay as you go customers cannot get hold of these phones??? All they have to do is buy a offline 8850 and put their sim card in it so then it will be on pay as you go. Simple. Thats what I always do when I want a new phone because my pre pay tariff cannot be matched by ANY contract. Anyway no-one would want this phone now that the 8310 is out.

Andy, you are right for sure. Pay as you go ruins phones as it is the chance for any random charver to get their hands on the phone. I had a V.3688 which cost me £380 back in summer 99' and I had to get rid of it last year because it came out on pay as you go. Although now bought a Nokia 8890 for the cred, as the 88XX are never going to come onto pay and go tariffs so there is no chance of being common.

I'm sorry...but having read the review I disagree. this phone can easily be converted to pay as you go..as previously mentioned. As for being common...this phone is no way near worth the price stated...it is very outdated now and nokia don't make these models anymore as they have been discontinued. The flagship model and it does not even have wap....what an absolute joke. Beauty is defin skin deep with this phone..granted it looks good but if ppl and 'birds' are that shallow then....pretty much suited to each other.

The basics are simple...it is a poor phone for the money involved..(unless you can but it cheap) and to myself and other tech savvy people out there..it never ceases to amuse us the attitude involved. When truly apart form the sleek design the 8310...T68i..6310i are far better prospects. This phone is not ALL THAT..far from it..save your money folks.

The Original review is accurate, the Guy who commented afterwards is totally wrong. I am assuming that the original review marked the phone on its sleek and stylish looks, as opposed to Feature/Benefits, which is all SOME people seem interested in. Its a Phone, you talk through it. If you want WAP/Bluetooth, go buy something else, but on appearance, I support the original comments!

Yeah, I bought the phone for looks and size. It looks amazing, and it's tiny - smaller than the 6610 I bought last week (produced 3yrs after the 8850 appeared). The phone functions well for phone calls and texts. If you want the best looking phone ever made (and a LOT of people will agree with me here), and you don't use WAP/games/cameras, etc. Then this is the phone for you. If you need these features then buy a different phone. But what this phone does, it does well.

Written on: 03/11/2001 by Nick.
I LOVE this mobile phone :D This is a lovely phone, this is probably the nicest mobile on the market at the moment. The only (seriously, the only 'fault') would be the SMS feature. On the Nokia 7110, you could archive messages and hold like 150 texts. On the Nokia 8850, you can only hold 10 messages or something, which just takes getting used to.
Other than that minor complaint, this phone is the best!

I had a Nokia 3210 and was genuinely happy with the value for money that it boasted. I just bought a nokia 8850 mobile second hand, for $650AUD, which would amount to about 300 pounds. After a few hours with the phone it has only really made me think that the Nokia 3210 is even better value for money. The 3210 boasts almost identical features, for a fraction of the price. However this is all relative, and at the time of release (Jun '99), the Nokia 8850 would have represented state of the... (read more)

First things first. The Nokia 8850 looks amazing. The blue looks very smart. However, that is the only good thing I can find to say about this phone. The only difference between this and a 3210 is the look and the infrared.
Not that the menu isn't comprehensive because it is, but so is the 3210's!
The keys are fiddly and way too small, the slide cover is annoying and feels tacky, it is too heavy, the recepetion is poor (as in most Nokias).

To be honest, i agree with this review. People are too amazed to have Nokia's premier phone to realise the faults with it. Yes it looks great, but so do 100 other phones. Apart from a trendy blue screen and its status (which is good for simple minded people who cant see past the exterior), this phone has nothing going for it.
<br>The slide down flips are very unreliably as well and feel flimsey.
<br>No matter what anyone says, it is the same interface (give or take one or 2 features) as a 3210, and that is not good.

<br>My old man has this phone and although it looks nice, it aint worth all that money. The reception is very poor, and its not very user friendly. Also the screen always disappears. Sure it has that corporate stutus which screams out "I'm made of money" but thats about it. Personally I wouldnt trade my Panasonic GD92 for it even if he paid me $100AUD on top. The GD92, has the style, the convenience, the reception and the features, at less than half the price!!!

Nokia 8850 is 91g, it was the lightest in the world when it came out, and is still extremely light - the only Nokia lighter than the 8850 is the 8210, and thats because it isn't made of aluminium. Other phones are lighter, like the Motorolas, but they're extremely user unfriendly and common.

The 8850 is a very classy handset. It is probably the best handset manufactured by Nokia ever. The price has not gone down unlike the 8210 which has rocketed down. The 8850 handset is an amazing phone and defines the word " STYLE ". (read more)

This is probably the most stylish nokia phone ever yet simply let down by its high price. As for features this is lacking in all departments. Recommend the Ericcson T20 for features and this for looks. Whichever you're looking for, you decide. (read more)

Personally, I believe this to be the most attractive phone on the market, with cross atlantic capabilities, the stylish "blue screen" and the general size of the phone all being plus points, as well as the added extra of the scarcity of the phone (unlike the 8210). The flip does tend to loosen after a while but can be easily fixed. The battery, well it's the same with all small phones, a pain! (read more)

Very Good phone, but with a life span of 4 months. Fortunately, the phone is likely to come with a warranty.
I have owned an 8850 about 10 months, I have had it replaced 4 times - free, but inconvienient.

Written on: 02/04/2001 by Mojoman.
When I purchased the phone I thought that it was excellent and loved it. But after 6 months the phone started playing up. The LCD screen started jumping and also the fact that the phone is very expensive but does not even support WAP makes it a bummer. To me it was a total disappointment. I would rather use the 8210/8250. (read more)

Written on: 04/04/2001 by jsp.
When i got the phone, i was shocked by its size and features until it started to go funny. I spent £350 on the phone and it turns out to be quite rubbish. The Nokia 8210 is much better and who would want to pay an extra £200 for a rubbish grey thing which has the same features but just a slide down cover???
I would not recommend the 8850 to anyone because i am selling it for £80. The 8210 is the best nokia made!!!

the phone is on the whole a very good one. it's much better than the 8210 in terms of button firmness and feel (8210 feels too plastic). backlight a major pluspoint. (read more)
