I read some of the responses to my posts. There is obviosuly a range of participants on this site - from the provincial to the sophisticated.
The great thing about the technology in a phone like the 8800 is that one crosses paths with people one would not
ordinarily socialize with in daily life.
I - and many participants on this site - do not find it out of the ordinary to own nice cars, have a good job, travel, have household help, eat out in resturants that have table cloths, and proved their kids with cell phones.
I take no offense to the immature words about me and others who are postiive about the Nokia (I suspect many of the respondants are in their teens).
To all: I share the joy of owning the finest phone (at the moment he Nokia 8800)on the planet and read, with interest, any intellegent/serious comments.

Two things relly lets this phone down.
1. The quality of the key pad. Compared to the V3 the key pad feels cheap and nasty. Could nokia have a put a smaller menu key in??
2. People like the truely annoying Ty who it appears has sold his soul and personality to nokia in exchange for 1,2,3,4 nokia 8800!!! tut tut tut tut!!!

I've had this phone for about a week now. While i love the look and feel of it, the battery life is simply appalling.

Ty.
Please stop you stories. If you are what you say you are then you would not be on this forum. This forum is a so called "phone bashing forum". No one believes you anyway.

It was not a black 8800, I do believe that it was the predecessor, the 8910. Nokia must have paid some high money to be involved in that movie.
By the way, finally got mine about two weeks ago. Although the sound isn't as loud as my previous Nokias (6260, 6230, 7250i), I have no problems with it. The camera works quite well for what I use it for, otherwise I would use my digital camera. I love it, it serves it's purpose, I make and receive calls, that's what a phone should do. The only slight problem is the signal seems to waver often, I mean no dropped calls or anything, but...
Oh, I had a question concerning the "carrying pouch". I hate that black monstrosity, and I tried to order the red one from Plemix, but that ones a piece also. I have been looking for a trendier substitute and so far have only come up with the Louis Vuitton cigarette case. It's the closest one in size. Anyone else using anything different? Thanks in advance.

Black 8800 alert!
Just saw Transporter 2. There was a quick shot of what I believe was a black Nokia 8800!!! Can anyone confirm. I know some of my patients recieve advanced phones for the Emmys and Oscars. They do this for movies as well. I'm having my phone guy call Hong Kong tomorrow.

Sad that this phone does not perform as what I expected. Bad choice to own it.

The way i see things is like this, anything that provokes such varied opinions must be something worth while having, i would rather people spoke about me than ignored me, at least im getting noticed. And secondly why waste so much time talking about this phone, i dont remember anyone saving we are all FORCED to own one, this is a land of freedom of choice, blar blar blar.If any of you even had an idea of wealth and cost you would be talking about the VERTU, there you go i bet no of you even knew such a phone even exsisted, See some of us are born looking up to the sky, and alas some to the GROUND, wake up dudes and stop crying over the 8800 when just looking at the ELEGENCE and eliteness of the VERTU will not just make you weep it will positively make your eyes BLEED.So words of wisdom.Put on your shades tap into the VERTU.com AND feast, yes i said FEAST your eyes on the SILENT BUT VIOLENT BEAUTY.Then come back and bleat about the 4,000,Price tag attached to this MASTERPIECE..........good day to you all....And in the words of KURT COBAIN, its BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN FADE AWAY...what you got to say about that then.........HMM, i thought so.....

I know it's diffuclt to believe but the story is true - the Noika 8800 screen did not shatter. It is my understaning that there is a special treatment/coating that goes into the glass that increases its clarity and resists scratches. I'm sure this explains the screen's amazing resiliency. My daughter had a "Bratz" doll and a tuna sandwich in a tupperware container in her backpack. They were both pulverized.

Or the nanny did not see it. Next time you forget something I hope you get the same treatment (if your story is true).

One damaged 8800...
Ny daughter left her 8800 in her backpack. When she returned from camp she must have thrown it on the driveway and her nanny neglected to pick it up.
My wife heard a crunch when she rolled over it. The 8800 phone was very compressed (her Cayenne weighs over 6,000 pounds) and yes, the glass screen did break but did not shatter. Thank God it wasn't our dog or Zoe!
My little one was very upset - and because it wasn't her fault, I promised to replace it as soon as possible.
We've always taught our chidlren to never cry over anything that can be replaced with money (The tragedy in New Orleans underscores that)
Anyway, I think I will have set the record for the number of 8800's owned - 4!
Also,I fired the nanny...

There is a quality control problem with Nokia phones which says "Made By Nokia".
8800 is a good example!

Finally sold my 4th 8800 & I lost US$150. So what?...at least it's a relief from all the hassle the stupid 8800s from Nokia had given me for the last 3 months!!!
Now I am back to my old but reliable RAZA V3...which is not bad at all, after all...at least not all those inconvinences all the 8800s had given me!!!

this is phone is mede of steel that is why it's prone to scratches. Just think of how depressed youll get when you accidentally drop this phone and it gets scratches thinking the price of the phone. OUCH!
I have an s700i and it has a beautiful silver contour at the back i'm so afraid of getting it scratched.
If beauty is the forte of this phone, beauty is also its downfall when it gets scratched. SO be Very careful on handling metallic phones.=]
I like the phone! I hate the price!
