Yes guys sure...... Sirocco battery works great in 8800.....
as i already told you all that battery time (standby + talk time) simply doubles..... in reality it is more than that......
dont believe it,,,, just try with sirocco BP-6X original battery
i can bet in improvement of timing....
atleast one good thing NOKIA did in sirocco version....

The design is beautiful. The gold version is the best looking phone out there. It is very durable. The graphics are very good. At least it has a camera, even though it's 0.5. Some phones don't even have a camera. It has video too. Some camera phones don't even have video. The screen is bright, and it slides. At least it also has blue tooth. The price dropped nicely too. It went from $1,250 Canadian, to $400.00 Canadian. That bargained price is the same as the over priced, retail price at Malls, for the Motorola V3 Razr. The charger looks cool too. It has a radio, where other phones do not even have radio. The battery problem can be changed by putting a Sirocco battery. As for the scratching problem, you could put a screen protector on the body of the phone. But function wise, this phone sucks. If you are the type of person that only uses phones for calling, and you like nice phones, then buy this price.
Remember that everything in life is over priced. 50% of your yearly makings are taxed. Too many fees, and things that should be free, are at cost. If you are going to try to be cheap, and buy a $50.00 phone (yet some people, who are short-minded, rack up the phone bill to $300.00 a month, and own a $50.00 phone), and try to play the game where you overly try to save as much money as possible, even though you still waste 95% of it on fees, taxes, over priced object, theft, et cetera, then stick with one of those fat, ugly $40.00 virgin, black and white virgin mobile phones. If you can afford it, buy this phone. If you don't like it, then why have you bothered to post your negative comments?

Hi guys...this is the first handphone i use it just for 12 hours and then trade it in with another handphone in the same day. The problem is THE BAAAAAAAtTTTRY. I thing this handphone is good to be your accompanied when you go for official occasions(for 2-6 hours) to show your status and when you go back home keep in your desk drawer for the next occassion.If you seek a daily use and heavy duty handphone I ADVICE you don't GOOOOOOOOOOO for this handphone.

JUST SAY NO! waste of money due to BATTERY!!!I actually had this phone for 2 days and realized it was not worth the $400.00. It is an expensive phone and looks quite nice, but gets tired very quickly. The video memory is the best, especially for a phone, as for BATTERY! NO NO NO NO NO, THE BATTERY POWER IS CRAZY, AND I SHOULDVE KNOWN, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAME WITH 2. IT SAYS TALK TIME UP TO 3 HOURS, BUT REALLY ITS LESS THAN 1 HOUR OF TALK TIME, BECAUSE I TESTED IT OUT MYSELF, its embarrasing to carry 2 batteries for 1 phone, and have to charge one, just when you just used it for only 30 min, then after 30 min with the new phone, you have 2 dead batteries for 1 hour of talk time. make sure you guys look at the talk time before purchasing fashion phones from Nokia, because now Nokia is releasing a whole line of fashion phones with the least amount of battery and talk time. Just like the Nokia 7280. The average talk time is 5-7 hours like motorola. GET WITH THE PROGRAM YALL!!!

GREAT NEWS FOR EVERY ONE
Nokia released sirocco.... with BP-6X battery. this battery is 700 mAh as compared to BP-5X with 8800 with 600 mAh...
If you use sirocco battery on your 8800 (ofcourse you have to buy a genuine one BP-6X) the standby time doubles as well as talk time.... I have done it and i have no more battery and charging problems.....
Nice thing NOKIA improved in SIROCCO

I had problems with the phone not charging properly, the head set, and the screen is really easy to crack. I recommend you keep this phone at home on a pedestal, if you want it to last.

Well, this phone is extremely stylish, very sophisticated. However the speaker phone is very average, have to put it next to my ear to hear a voice! Ring tones are very weird and eccentric, i uploaded a song and set it as my ringtone. Picture quality is ok , not the best. One big drawback is that after a while dirt and lint gets on the screen and basically impossible to clean, i had it in the pouch for 2 months but still dirt made its way in. on the otherhand, its a very strong phone, hard to break ! This phone gets 7/10 because it doesn`t have anything special software wise.
