Good looking phone
There is a good reason why it comes complete with 2 batteries. What I don't understand is why most Nokia phones have decent running time and yet their prestige model doesn't. The phone is made of metal so you expect it to be heavy anyway, so why stick a unreliable battery in it?
The phone is also a compulsive liar, "You have loads of battery" or "I'm about to die, charge me", "I'm dead".
Trust is a hard thing to come by in this world but I didn't expect my phone to lie as well.
Additionally, I have had the phone "re-programmed" twice, as the thing claims that the Sim card is not inserted...another lie.
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!!!
