Written on: 25/02/2007 by real111

The Nokia 8800 is a great phone to admire but personally I would have to admit not very helpful when it comes being practical. The usage of the phone wouldn't be as bad if the price of the phone wasn't so high (Because I paid £600 for mine) then I would say, it isn't as bad people are making it out to be.. (read more)

The worst phone I have ever owned. System crashes at least three times a day in spite of several software upgrades. Nokia really should be ashamed of this one. They can have it back for a fraction of what I paid for it if they want. (read more)

Written on: 30/01/2007 by Gobbie (1 review written)

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... (read more)

Written on: 02/01/2007 by 9of10 (2 reviews written)

This 8800 model should be recalled by Nokia and fixed. A decent battery would go a long way for starters and more memory. Memory should be external so one can put whatever they see fit in the phone. For the cost it simply is not worth it when you look at what it has. The screen is not that expensive to replace as you might think it was. Its just a phone rushed through the pipeline without a proper thought put into the battery lasting at all.
In this day of age you would expect a better and... (read more)

Written on: 02/01/2007 by 9of10 (2 reviews written)

The battery life is on the Nokia 8800 is no use what so ever, even when you get a spare battery when you buy the phone. The charger tells you the phone is charged only to find it isn't. A lot of detail went into making the phone but not a lot went into making the battery last! You can record for over an hour but whats the point when the battery dies half way through it. Wouldn't recommend this phone to a friend its simply not worth it! (read more)

To sum up its a beautiful phone as long as the only thing you want to do with it is merely stare at it. I feel that Nokia have let themselves down with this one, its not practical, very unreliable and not worth the money. Save your money and buy a Sony Ericsson and buy a metal case. (read more)

Written on: 24/08/2006 by Kdelaney

The Nokia 8800 is simply the best looking phone ever made and as a recruitment consultant you can imagine that I use the phone a lot, however, I cannot express enough how shockingly bad this phone really is. If you are someone who has no friends or family who are likely to call, get one. If you expect to actually use the thing, don't. Do not even consider it. $1,000 US Dollars or £650 GB? It is not worth!!! (read more)

If your stylish and like the finer things in life - then the Nokia 8800 is for you! If you want to show off to your mates and turn heads then this is it.. Even with the few bad points I must say it is the best phone I have had so far... I have had it for about 9 months and it works perfectly without a single scratch. I haven't lost interest in it and I still am very much in love with it! :) (read more)

Written on: 17/07/2006 by hydrilboy (15 reviews written)

Overall, the Nokia 8800 is a great mobile phone. I am due an upgrade next month and NOTHING comes close. Everything else is either MASSIVE or too plastic looking. I hope someone comes up with something soon. The metal cover is hard as anything, and I have dropped it on many occasions and it's still in one piece. The glass is sapphire crystal, so minor knocks and scrapes don't touch it. The sliding action is to die for. Slide up to answer, and everyone still looks as the chrome dazzles them. (read more)

Written on: 28/06/2006 by K3ZZA

The Nokia 8800 mobile phone is simple to use. Don't spend £500 on this phone when you can get it on contract for £50. I saw how much this phone was, and I said "no way", as I don't have £500, so I searched on the net, as I really liked this phone and i wanted it. Anyway, I went to this site called Mobile Phone Shop, which I found really cheap, and it's a secure site. I'm now on contract, and all I pay is £35 a month with O2. O paid £50 for the phone, and I get 500 xnet minutes to any... (read more)

Written on: 20/06/2006 by aisha1choudhary

I would not recommend the Nokia 8800 mobile phone to anyone, as it is useless. The phone freezes when you make or receive a call, and you can't hear the other person.
The phone is only good looking and nothing more.
Another piece of rubbish from Nokia.

And the award for the worst phone goes to the Nokia 8800! (read more)

Written on: 01/06/2006 by slimbiskit

The Nokia 8800 mobile phone is all about style, but that's it! There is nothing special in it, so if you want a simple phone that is full of style, then this is the one, but if you're a more fiddly person and like to play with the features in your phone, then I wouldn't recommend it to you.

Written on: 31/05/2006 by dfgds (1 review written)

I wanted the Nokia 8800 mobile phone from day one, and I had to have it.

When I first got it, I couldn't wait to use it. About 3 phone calls later I'm on the 2nd battery, so not impressed so far, especially after going through the features. My very first phone did more!!

On day two the spring went on the sliding mechanism, so as you can tell I wasn't happy. It went back to Nokia that same day for repair.

So far, I've had it about 3 - 4 months, and it really is starting to annoy me, so... (read more)

Written on: 19/05/2006 by pollo

The Nokia 8800 is a stunning mobile phone. It looks and feels expensive. Anyone who wants loads of gadgets including a 2.0MP digital camera, look elsewhere, as this just does enough, but it oozes style while doing it.

You can have MP3's as ringtones, download pictures and use them as wallpaper, and it also has great reception, even in areas where my old Motorola V3 on the Vodafone network would lose signal; this doesn't.

Although the keypad is small, after a couple of days it just seems... (read more)

I bought my Nokia 8800 a couple of weeks ago, and this mobile phone is excellent - A+. I'm 100% happy so far, and all my mates are looking to get one too. Great looking, easy to use, and really well built. My girlfriend bought me a gold plated mobile phone cover for the Nokia 8800 from www.Goldplating.co.uk and it now looks super cool! (read more)

“The Nokia 8800 mobile phone is really, really bad...”

Written on: 02/05/2006 by hexlessywa

The Nokia 8800 mobile phone is really, really bad value for money. This phone does not have anywhere near the amount of features you would expect, and the performance of the phone is not up to the price. Being one of the most expensive Nokia's available, this phone should have a better camera, far more memory and a lot more 'extras'. Not a good deal at all, although the design is outstanding.

This phone should be re-released with more stuff, or retailed at a lower price. You are really not... (read more)

Written on: 17/04/2006 by gyroz (7 reviews written)

The Nokia 8800 is a very cool mobile phone. Nice feeling to hold it, but it is over-priced. Everything is good except the inside of the phone. It's almost the same system as Nokia used 3 - 4 years ago! Don't try to use it when skiing on the slopes; most of the time it's too cold to get it to start. There are better and cheaper phones to buy, like the Sony Ericsson W800. (read more)

Written on: 09/04/2006 by Poocher (8 reviews written)

I love mobile phones, and so I HAD to have the Nokia 8800 as soon as I saw it. It is beautifully designed and feels lovely to use. The colours/wallpapers etc. are really pretty (it is a very girly phone). I had trouble finding out how to turn up the volume during a call, but all in all I have found it very easy to use. I think it's a great phone. (read more)

I would describe the Nokia 8800 mobile phone as a Playboy playmate. it is beautiful on the outside... You work out the rest!

There's nothing more this phone can do other than look good. It's a beauty, and a head turner.

Sit down with it for 5 minutes, then what?
No functions, poor camera quality; just like the Nokia phones of 2003. If you're on the move or a business user, the battery will cause you frustration.

All in all, you buy a Porsche that looks slick, it's fast with lots of... (read more)

The Nokia 8800 is one of the most stylish and lightweight mobile phones I have ever used. My old Nokia 8310 has none of the features or the capabilities of the 8800. Highly recommended. (read more)

Written on: 12/02/2006 by mt australia (1 review written)

I've now owned the Nokia 8800 for about four months. Overall it's a great mobile phone, but it has limited appeal and some annoying niggles. Depending on what you want in a mobile phone you will either love it or have no hesitation in choosing something else.

The first thing you'll notice about the phone is of course its stainless steel case. Combined with the slide actuation and the glass screen (which is scratchproof), the aesthetic appeal of this phone is sensational. Even after using it... (read more)

I loved the Nokia 8800 from the moment I saw it and put it on a plan with Telstra and have been very happy ever since. It does have 2 main problems though - the battery life and the inability to easily remove the back cover. Presentation remarkable on acquisition, really? Love it to death. A step beyond the ordinary. The Concorde of mobile telephones. Beautiful, beautiful. (read more)

I set my heart on the Nokia 8800 after seeing it on TV. As a tight person, I wouldn't pay the daft price they wanted for this phone to start with. Cost came down enough that I could afford it. Am well impressed with the phone as it does all I need (memory card bit of an issue).

It's a quality phone that will last and retain its style. Would recommend to those who want a stylish phone but don't want a features packed phone. (read more)

“The Nokia 8800 mobile phone is one BIG disappointment!...”

Written on: 12/09/2005 by fitzlemons (2 reviews written)

The Nokia 8800 mobile phone is one BIG disappointment! After much anticipation, Nokia once again fail to deliver.
This phone is appallingly bad in the functions stakes. It just looks pretty, and don't we all want our phones to do more than just that?
It is completely overpriced. The software on it is feeble when compared to a Sony Ericsson, for example, the text messaging option when sending to people you text frequently, is simply a waste of time.
It will only attract magpies!!! (read more)

I have had the phone a week, and I like the new shape and feel. One of the new features on this phone, is that when texting, it gives you the option to text to a recently used number and lists them, this for me is great, because I do ring and text the same people most of the time. Love the phone!!!! (read more)

Written on: 28/07/2005 by tomosan

The Nokia 8800 does have a volume control for when you are on a call. It was hard to find at first though.
Like the Moto V3 (my last phone), it is prone to fingerprints all over the screen, otherwise, it is a very classy phone.
I'm sure a titainium one will be out in a years time. (read more)

Written on: 23/07/2005 by vaioboy (1 review written)

Got the Nokia 8800 for free with my contract. Would never pay money for a handset - certainly not this one.

The design is stunning, with the docking station and lights completing the package. It's probably three times heavier than most small Nokias and this feel nice - feels like you've got a quality device in your hand.

Having to live up to the 6230 and 8210 before that (the two best Nokias yet), the 8800 doesn't quite do it. On design terms it's miles ahead, but 8210 was simple and the...

Recieved Nokia 8800 today and sending it back today, could put up with fiddly key pad (mainly the joy pad) but for a phone so expensive and praised up, the bluetooth would only connect to one device out of four, and that is simply not good enough. Poor phone Nokia. (read more)
