Nokia 6800

I just got the Nokia 6800 phone, but it works great it's so cool you should get this. It is great for the price, I bought mine off eBay for 50 dollars and it worked great, it's so cool.

I bought a Nokia 6800 because I used to send messages to my g-friend a lot though the day, and the full keyboard makes this a breeze. Now my girlfriend is overseas and at $.25 a pop I don't use the feature anymore. This has left me with a bulky, heavy party trick I rarely use anymore. After 9 months of use both swiveling arms have cracked from regular use. FM radio is cool but need to have headphone attached to work and the conection jack is really flimpsy and works only if I put pressure to one side of the jack. No camera, mp3, or any other "modern' gizmos. Most disturbing though are the drop calls, loss of service in well serviced areas, the phone just goes from 7 bars to 0 in less than 2 seconds (great for a car, NOT for my only lifeline). Also,(and the reason why I was looking at this review page), for a week now the phone takes to freezing up, the volume button locks up, and I have to power down and reastart to get it to work again. I am thinking of exchanging or upgrading to a slimmer model. To its credit: great with messages, alarmclock with polyphonics you can download from your PC, calendar/reminders, and dessign, plus you could use it as a weapon to club a surprised attacker, or just flip open and use to boomerang some deer or swine down next time you are hiking out of your reception zone. Just be warned, you may get there before any of your friends. Hopes this helps.
