I used to like the look of this phone...
Then I realised that I was only judging it by appearance.
Nokia should be ashamed of themselves, producing such an unreliable yet very expensive phone.
Anyone who wishes to have themselves judged by the appearance of their phone really ought to stop being so sad!!
All these comments about the stylishness of the phone excusing the poor functionality are a joke. If all Nokia phones were like this they would have gone bust years ago.
If any potential 8800 buyers would like me to help them burn their money I will gladly help!!

Guyz let me tell you one thing about this phone is that IT SUCKS. You wanna know why ok No worries.. Firstly this phone is very heavy just because of that Titanium Steel Casing and it catches dust instantly so you end up cleaning it after every 5 minutes which is a waste of time. It has not even got a MegaPixel camera. Hard to use the keypads. Well This is what i have known and my personal Opinion about this Crappy Phone.
I do agree that it has got a very good design with that beautiful smooth slide action but just because of that Steel body its price is high. So I recommend to go for Another phoe which is Cost effective.

Ok I read all kinds of comments, opinions about the nokia 8800. Nowadays, I think people tends to look for a cell phone that has a lot of features on it. I would say I will still buy this phone coz cell phone to me is for talking and reading text messaging only and maybe a few good games and the looks is a must! Too many freaking bull$h!t comments people trying to pull this phone down from its throne, but it will not happen for this phone is still by so far the most gorgeous phone ever built on this planet.
Yeah there's a lot of phone that offers a lot of features and even higher resolutions and megapixels, but most of us have to admit that we only have 24hrs a day most of our hours we work and we watch tv,eat,$hit doing chaka chaka, dirty sanchez etc. with our partner lol! So would most of you have time to play with your cell phone that has tons of features on it? Lets get real! You don't have the time! But most of us have time to talk,read text messages etc. The nokia 8800 has these simple features thats why I got it!
And for my last comment: I can't wait to see those heads turn once I started using my 8800 in public!

hi peeps. iv had the nokia 8800 for just over 2 mnths nw and it is really cheesing me off. for starters iv had it software upgraded by carphone warehouse and because it keeps on switching off and on by itself (freaky). now that its bin upgraded guess whats happnd nw it still switches off, when i try calling someone (this happens occasionally) i cant even hear the dialling tone u no 'tring tring' and then it goes off. the other crap thing is when i need to take out one battery to put da uda spare battry in all my settings are gone (my themes) so i need to set my theme again and again and again. this phone its a badboy phone but its a shame what its doing. pls cud n e 1 email me if they no and possible solutions. cheers

I really dot know y ppl find it very difficult except the fact that this is one of the most good lookinf phones in the market now. There are several types of phone buyers. Some who goes for a basic easy to carry day to day phone and others who are keen on the phones options, but dont also forget there are some other people who would forgoe every thing of the above just to own a phone which is unique and high class. PPl who can afford a 8800 surely can afford a digital camera and i pod nanos so they need not want those included in phones.

to all the 8800 owners who justify the expense of this phone by stating that it is a high end and exclusive phone used by 'high end' people and compare it to expensive watches, i would say this: it is still ONLY a phone, a piece of technology which by its nature has a short shelf life.-an expensive watch,ie Omega or Rolex- these are timeless precision watches which will give over 30 years service.your GBP£600/usd£1200 MOBILE PHONE! will only stay exclusive for a short time until the mobile phone companies offer discounts and cheap deals to purchase this phone.you can now purchase this phone for GBP £120 with a new airtime agreement in the UK which isnt at all 'exclusive' so over the coming months,anyone will be able to purchase this phone. does this phone still look good value then? i think not. particularly when you take into account its poor specification and performance.
someone else on this board said he had to keep charging his 8800 more than other phones, but that was okay as a V12 rolls royce owner has to fill his car with fuel more often than the owner of a standard sedan.
this maybe so, however a V12 rolls royce offers loads more performance and luxury features compared to a normal car.
the 8800 doesnt offer this advantage over 'normal' phones,with the exception of a metal finish and a sliding screen.
i dont think this really justifies the outrageous price.
i choose not to purchase this phone not cos i cant afford it, rather because it offers poor value for money. remember the motorola V3 started life as a premium phone but now everyone owns one and you can by them in a supermarket on pre-pay !
not worth paying £700 for ....

As many reviews said, Nokia 8800 is built for exclusivity, for people who may have another phone for business use, and this one for special occasions.. like they would wear dress watch to an event and won't use that watch to go scuba diving, they would have another watch for that purpose. People in this segment probably have an iPod for MP3, 8MP Digital camera for picture taking, and a high end PDA for scheduling appointments.. or just simply another phone, a smartphone for business use.
My complaints for this phone is not on the feature, but the usability. I have 2 complaints :
1. The extremely short battery life, it is just unconvinient for people in any segment to plug in their phones that often, or slide open the back cover and change the battery. I rather have 1 high capacity battery than 2 low capacity batteries. (although it does make sense that a V12 powered Rolls Royce would need more frequent gas station visit than a Honda Accord for the same travel distance :P)
2. What was Nokia software designer thinking ? Everytime you close the slide, it'll ask you to lock the keypad, and there is auto keyguard option too. I mean, even if the keys are unlocked, the keypad is hidden when the phone is kept in the pocket, and the 2 visible softkeys are virtually useless with the slide closed anyway.

This phone is designed just for stylish and high class people and want to be unique. It does not design for high tech. If you want to use a high tech phone, go for O2 Exec or at least XDA IIs. Those phone is for business use. It comes with everything u need. This phone is only for elegant and stylish people use it. I can say that this phone is great, if you are looking for stylish phone. The colour is so sharp and clear screen. The screen is scratchless. No nee to worry about the screen protector. It is just perfect for high class men
