Koureas G ,
If you are so pissed off with this phone because you did pay a high price to own this beautiful looking phone to find that it is not up to your expectations; it doesn't matter what your opinion is, because after a year og production, a lot of people all over the world is still eagerly buying this phone!
We can understand your dis-satisfaction, but you should be complaining to Nokia & ask them for a refund AND post your complain on the daily newspaper.

It’s easy to say the same excuse again and again and criticize other people because you don’t have something else to say to defend this “phone”,but it’s very hard to admit that this “phone” is useless, unreliable, not worthy phone and has nothing to show except high price.Maybe the truth hurts and some people don't want to see it.
I know from first hand the inadequate "capabilities" of this "phone" and i speak with facts and through my experiences.
As i stated in my previous posts the capacity of 8800 is Li-Ion battery forms only 600 mAh, which is too short.
In average it worked for a day in case of an hour of talks, and i encountered fast battery discharge during the talk and phone turned off. With 30 minutes of talks the device lived till the next morning and turned off at the first call (two charge points). You should not trust the battery indicator. The device may be used not more than for a day, two days are possible only with little short conversations, NO use of other functions.
If you want somehow better battery life it's better to turn off the screen saver and use no bluetooth.
Except from the design of this "phone" which is a subjective point of view if you like it or not, there is no other reason to defend this "phone". Surely this "phone" has low battery life,functionality,performance and many software problems.
So i don't understand the fanatics owners or fans of this "phone" trying to mention,imply or say something against other people posting here who are indignant,disappointed owners of this "phone" or don't actually like it.Surely we have heard thousand of times that cheap excuses and we are tired to hear them once again because some others they don't have something to say or don't know what they are saying.
I wouldn't recommend to anyone buying this "phone" just for the looks.Waste of money and time.

Guys listen it's simple if u want the best camera or loads of memory don't buy this phone but if u want the best looking nokia ever made then do.
the design is amazing and my 24 carr gold cover looks wicked 100 quid on ebay.
you can bitch all u want but everyone wants a harley davidson yet theres alot of bikes that are cheaper and faster but you buy cause of how it looks and how it makes u feel.
i have had every can imagine including the new chocolate which is japanese impracticul crap.
if your the kinda person who is looks and quality based and doesn't want the most techno plastic piece of crap that samsung.

Yes Coffee, this guy 'Mania' also use other names to put this phone down; if you notice those codes behind the posted date!!!
As I have guessed, this guy is one of those jealous salesman who can't afford to buy one! Also, as he mentioned, he got big fingers so the keys on this phone is difficult for him, & he his pissed off at watching other people pressing the keys so fast & easily.....but he can't do the same.
Also, as a sales, he must face the phone all the time but can't own one.....how sad!!! This is going to drive him nuts,I strongly recommand this guy making an appointment with a medical doctor ASAP before it's too late for any cure!

Hi all! I've just traded my N80 for a 8800 about 2 weeks ago. I thought I'd be disappointed but nope! Dispite what people may say, this is a good phone. It lasts me about 2 days, which is already more than the N80. But anyhow, what I wanted to ask was that do you guys know if I can receive fax on this thing or not? Nowhere has mentioned the fax part so I don't know if it is possible or not. Can anyone help me?

A Aint John nor Harry or even danielle I'm Mania as mentioned in the name so please get your facts right before writing who you think people might be.
I still stick with the decision that the Nokia 8800 is the handset which is out there to rip people off.
A Handset thats been out for over a year and the cost of it is the same is a ripoff handset.
Nothing to get jealous about when there's handsets like the LG Chocolate phone which is 100 times better than the Nokia 8800 and the 8910i which is also alot better than 8800
The reasons why I dislike the 8800 are as follows.
1 Battery Life, battery tends to die very quickly on the phone which means if your on a call for about one hour the battery dies which is a pity.
2 The price of the handset is too much especially if it's been out for ages 1.6 years
3 The camera is crap on the phone, what was the point in putting a crap handset
4 Menu system, It's basic it doesn't offer anything new on the h/set
5 The flips on the 8800 dend to break easily, We get complaints all the time where I work with that handset.
6 The black version of the Nokia the ink comes off, It's just painted black
7 When making a call on the 8800 the calls sometimes cut off
8 Inside the Titanium case there's a phone what looks like a cheap seamans.
Where's only one good thing I can say about the h/set is the design.
So summerise all this up and you realise your getting ripped off.
So all you Nokia 8800 owners out there who are happy be happy.
Me personally I think it looks like a ladies phone and the buttons are way too small.
So theres no point in me getting jealous when I have big fingers and can,t text off it and there's loads of disadvantages about the 8800.
I've still got the 8910i which many 8910i owners would agree it's a much better phone and looks better too in everyway.

Excellent phone.
I still love it 100%. Great battery life, recharge only require a maximum of 1 hour........unlike other phones which takes 2.5 to 3.5 hrs. for a complete charge.

The 8800 looks quite good but I strongly advise people to keep well away.
I've had nothing but problems with this 8800 handset.
The slide always breaks and low voice so when your talking tro somebody u can't hardly hear them unless they are shouting at you

I really dislike the phone, the phone was meant to be waterproof do I went swimming with my 8800 and it stopped working.
It is not waterproof and it also isn't scratchproof neither
Azad from Phones 4u told me this handset was waterproof and it has 3g
I soon found out this isn't true so I sent my handset back.
They wouldnt take it back because they said it was wet due to misinformation given to me
It's a very dissapointing handset and it makes me want to puke, please keep well away from the 8800 it's a true ripoff
