yes K3ZZA's recommendation

Good Points

The style of the phone. I think it is a very nice phone for males or females. I like the feel of the steel. It feels expensive and it feels strong.
The screen is really clear, and pictures are crystal clear.
People have said the buttons are really small. Well, yes they are, but I have never had any trouble, and I have really long acrylic nails, so anyone who is being negative about the buttons has no life, but to moan about nothing.

Bad Points

The battery does get low quick, but, and that's a big but, because you do get 2 batteries, it's not all bad. Anyway, 1 battery gives you 3 hours of talk time, but if you have 2 batteries you will get 6 hours of talk time, and if your first battery gets low, put it in your charger stand and put the fully charged one in your phone, and just keep changing them over. I do.

General Comments

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 network, 200 texts and 3 months free insurance. After 3 months my minutes will be 250, and texts will be 100, so if you want it, get it. Life is too short.

There is nothing bad about this phone, and Nokia's are very reliable and easy to navigate round the menu.

I hope this has been some help, and if you would like some advice or have questions, just leave a comment.

    It's not the fact that people do not have a life and this compel's them to moan about a phone.
    Issues such as small buttons, and low batt life get in the way of everyday busy lifestyle use and therefore cause serious problems. You may not notice this as your just sat at home filing or extending the size of your nails - and 6 hour talktime is enough in a minimum 8 hour working day and that to after the use of 2 batteries. One other thing, - is the charger a miniature charger that would fit in my pocket so as i can carry with me all the time and does it run on Solar power so i would'nt need a plug socket to use it for it's purpose - NO i didnt think so - So you see for people in the real world there's no point having that phone because it just don't serve it's purpose. It ain't that people want to moan for no reason.
    Just to give the whole comment a bit of spice i'd like to add that i'm going to get an upgrade to a 8800 tommorow HAHA!!! - but i think i agree with all its problems but is also slick, hence it's a must have for street cred!!!
