My son and I just saw the movie "The Island". It takes place 50 years in the future - and guess what? The Nokia 8800 is featured in one of the scenes! (This confirms what I've been hearning from some of my patients -the 8800 is becomming the "it" phone for many of the A-list players in Hollyood)
I'll be picking up my second
8800 tomorrow. For an extra $250.00 my guy gets express delivery from Hong Kong - but it's worth it. I miss my Nokia now that my little girl has it. Besides we now know it won't be outdated for another 50 years!!!

Hasbeen using my 8800 for month now,what a disapointment..!!the phone hasn't been performing the way I expected..!!1/:the battery life is very short.2/:the reception is not good especially in udergrond carpark&tunel.3/:the metal parts of the phone can be schratced easily(I've already schratched mine even I've been looking after it well...wiped it cleaned very hour.4/:the screen qality is not outstanding...my D500 can even give me a better screen quality.5/:the sound is not that good like expected...Mp3 sounds ordinary&the earpiece is not very loud,I've to keep mine on the Outdoor profile at all time.6/:lack of Memory card slot+system connector+Mono
headset.7/:it's a damn heavy phone&very slippery....etc..!!
That's my experiences..!!for someone whoever thinking buying this phone,my advise is"try it before buy it"...you don't want to pay Euro$800.00 for something that regretful thing(with the exception of those sort of people who have a lot of money to play around with,who can afford to pay USD$34,000.0 to have their 8800 inserted with Diamond and have their name crafted on the phones).
Good luck

I have had this phone for a week now, and all I can say is that this phone is a piece of art. I will never use my SE P910a never again. I have only used SE phones (T610, P900, P910), and loved them, but nothing comes close to 8800.

EXCEPTIONAL SOUND QUALITY!
Quote:
The conversations with Nokia 8800 have high quality sound. There's enough bass and the voice is very clear.
That must be puted in into every Nokia phone mode, not only into 8800. All Nokia phones should become a normal sized phones just like 8800 is and there will be always exceptional sound quality then!
NOKIA:
Why only 8800 has a normal phone sound quality?

Almost forgot:
To Hello Motto - I admire you for having the same cell phone all these years... not being a slave to fashion. One of my cars is a 37 year-old jag and I would not trade it for two new ones.
However, if you do decide to upgrade to a current cell phone serioulsy consider the Nokia 8800 -its build quality, features, and design are outstanding! (It will last you another 25 years!)

My point to sharing my experiences with this thread is that the Nokia 8800 is a great phone... one in which I have the upmost confidence.
As for giving one to my child - my wife and I feel better knowing that she has a reliable, well-made cell phone. Whether she's on a play date or traveling abroad with her nanny or at sleep away camp or at boarding school, I know I can count of the Nokia to keep us in touch.
It's not a matter of spoiling your children it's a matter of loving them. I want the best for my child and right now the best is the Nokia 8800. And of course, I would never dream of giving our little one the diamond encrusted 8800 - that would be crazy!

Just got back from a consult in Beverly Hills. One of the shops has an 8800 with diamonds mounted on the steel case! They will do your name or initials or whatever. The start price is $17,500 and takes 3 weeks to make. I think this is a bit over-the-top (although if my wife sees it she will certainly want it). The salemen pointed out this is much less money then the gold Virtu and much more exclusive - although they've already sold three of them.

I have 2 of this 8800 :-
Terrible battery life AND there is software problem, so it either turn itself off & then on again; or just keep on hanging !!!

thanx cristi.. but how much would it cost? roughly.. anyways, this phone is wicked in design.. only reason ppl buy it is due to its elgeance and what it says.. it says "look at me; i have money to buy this! doesnt matter if the cam and mp3 suck. if i wanted a cam or mp3, id go get one" :)
but yeah this phone just gives bragging rights and thats it..
some one get back to me abt the adapter thingy.. thanx.. :)

hi, i bought this phone at the price of 780 euros, a rather hughe one! i am used in changing phones all the time so my opinion should b a valid enough.
about the phone now! the main disadvantage for me was the battery life!it hardly lasted a day! when i used the bluetooth handset the durability fell at 6-7 hours, and carrying a second battery isnt always practical. besides that the phone restarted itself at every call after a weeks use! i personally regreted my buy and its a shame since its a beautifull phone, yet a phone besides being a jewel should make phones aswell! thanks

I have been waiting for this phone for some time. My comment really isn't about the phone itself, but for buyers who are ordering from the distributors in the list at left, please be warned: Popular Electronics is a poor choice. My friend and I both placed orders over a week ago. They stated at time of order that the item was IN STOCK. I don't know what other people's idea of in stock is, but to me, that means in your warehouse, ready to be shipped to anxious buyers.
We have both tried to call repeatedly, either I am given a cruddy excuse or blown off. First it was waiting for a shipment from supplier in NY (doesn't sound like it's in stock to me), then it was waiting for a shipment from supplier in Finland (still don't think that means in stock). If not silly excuses then my phone call is ignored. I have left messages and haven't been contacted. DO NOT order from them. Now I have to try my luck with another company. Good luck to all, and if anyone knows of a good company online, please let me know.

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 silver contour 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.=]
