Nokia 8260

The Nokia 8260 mobile phone is easy to use. Very tolerate of physical abuse - if you are active like me - I have dropped it from my bike, while skating. It has proven itself to be a very reliable phone. Every year i get a new cell phone but i always switch back to using this one. I use it to set my alarm in the morning, I use it to remind me of the to-do list on my calander. GET IT if they are still selling them.

I purchased this phone when it first came out b/c of the innovative, small palm-sized design. I've dropped it several times in my driveway and it still works. The display is easy to read and the functionality is very user-friendly and mimics most Nokia functions.

On the flip side, I have missed more incoming calls on this phone. I initially blamed it on the carrier. Unfortunately, I have talked to other owners of this phone w/ different carriers, and they all agree that the phone has terrible reception. The buttons are really small and you tend to hit the wrong numbers. This was my first Nokia and unfortunately, it didn't make a good first impression.

I like Nokia phones, but I should know better than to purchase the first model in a new series. I had a 5160, and it was unreliable because the battery didn't stay in place. The 8260 missed calls from the day I got it, but I blamed the network. About a month after the warranty expired, the phone started refusing to dial out. I took it to the AT&T store, where the folks told me that the 8260 has a programming problem. They updated the firmware, but that didn't fix it. Maybe the bugs are fixed in the 8265.

The Nokia 8260 has proven to me to be a great phone. It can store 250 names and numbers, so there's always room, the battery life is incredible, and the style and size is cool. I have dropped it, stepped on it, and done just about everything you can do to it, yet it still works.

Bad - bad - bad. Got the Nokia 8260 mobile phone since 10/2000.. always dropped call(sss).. went back to 1998 Technology phone.. Happy since... The bottom line is - this puppy is BAD

I have found the Nokia 8260 mobile phone garbage.

I would recommend the Nokia 8260 mobile phone.
