This phone just hang all the time ! When i go to setting > tones > alert for to chang the setting for the different groups; it just hang & won't work anymore !
I call up Nokia & they admit there is a software problem !!! Why such a simple phone hang so easy ???
Nokia is really not as good as people thought !!!

I find the personal stories regarding the Nokia 8800 far more interesting then going on and on and on about the technical features - or lack thereof - on this wonderful phone. As for grade school kids having their own 8800 -why not? Most of my childrens' friends have laptops, psp's, ipods, etc. I live in a community where people respect each others property. No one would ever dream of stealing a phone.
By the way, when I dropped my phone there were no scratches on the glass... NONE. The 8800 is very rugged. That's why I'm buying an extra one.

This is a comfortable phone to hold. The loudspeaker is better than the V3's.
What else? ... yes, the battery barely last for a day ! ... the reception kind of weak ! ... the start up is very slow for such a simple phone ... the menu is out dated ... I personally do not like any of the ringtone that come with the phone (do not even have normal ring tone !)
By the way, the battery cover is difficult to release !

to Ty: wake up, ofcourse your nokia will be alright after every kind of follin - it's the only good thing in this phone - everything else is like you have cheap phone - for the prize of 2 k750 perfect devices! very stupid phone - and very uncomfortable - every function of this phone is so middling!!! very stupid, NOKIA, very stupid!

I guess the Nokia 8800 is getting to be very popular. I give my 11-year old my 8800 becasue it has a slight blemish on the case. She went to the mall this morning and one of her friends has the same phone! This makes me want the black 8800 even more! (My lttle one now wants a black instead to silver too) It's very hard to stay exlusive in LA.

8800 is the same function as the last model 8890, 8850, 8910i... it's made for getting money from your pocket. No advantage is described in this phone. Weak signal, weak battery and poor design. If you got it, you will feel disliked after 01 month using. Do not loose money for this phone.
Thanks much

Nokia still havent released any phones into Australia despite them saying so ! Come on Nokia if you still dont have any stock then stop telling retailers to order them for customers with a 2 day promise !!!
Nokia you are losing customers !

Follow up. This afternoon my jeweler tried to buff out the case of my 8800 after a nasty fall. It looks great but not absolutley, 100% perfect. The bottom line is my 11-year old now has her own 8800(she'll be the envy of her classmates when shcool starts, most of whom just have the razors). My phone guy still want $950 us for the Nokia. No problem unless the black 8800 is comming out soon. If I could be one of the first to get one of these I'd glady pay double... or more. Anyone know the real scoop on the black 8800? Fact or fiction?Thanks

I don't know why you all seem to hate this phone so much, I think it's really stylish and looks far better than plastic. I think it is a great phone if thats just what you want to use it for. Personally I'm a gadget freak so it is out of the question for me but as a stand alone handset it seems great.

Freak accident. I dropped my 8800 - about a 4 foot free-fall and then down a flight of concrete stairs (9 in all). I'm happy to report NO problem except for a very slight scrape mark on the bottom edge which I will try to get buffed out. If it won't come out I'll give the 8800 to my
11-year old daughter and get another for myself. Fantasic phone - and now I can say wihout a doubt - VERY WELL MADE. (Lesser phones whold have been busted in pieces)

oh Hell yeh, i would prefer the W800i anyday. Not only are the features tonnes better, but it even looks better. $1469 is waaay to much to pay for a piece of scrap metal with Nokia written on it. must admit, it does feel nice to hold, but don't fall for that old trick. They suck you in with the feeling of importance, then spit you out with software errors and lack of features. Nasty nasty!

neil,
This is a game played by Nokia to make people feel that this phone is exclusive .... this is a psycological game!

At my hospital all the docs compared phones - money is no objects to my collegues. All agreed that my 8800 was the best looking, best feeling, best designed phone of the bunch. In short, if you can afford to run with the pros, I highly suggest you do it.
