I have the 8800 and everyone seems to moan about it etc.. and when the sirocco came out the same thing.. this phone is a fashion symbol.. its not practical if you need a reliable handset.. its a evening and weekend phone.. people are really getting on my dam nerves.. you woundnt by a hummer and then say it drinks to much petrol.. when you buy high market phones like the 8800 and sirocco they are designed to be a fashion statement, the battery doesnt last long because its a phone to be used in the evening.. i work in a phone shop and to be honest all phones nowadays are crap and thats my honest opinion

I returned my 8800SE. It was just far too overpriced and heavy with terrible battery life. I then came across a dealer offering the Motorola KRZR K1 and picked it up for less than 1/3 the price! I've been a Nokia fan all my life after getting ripped off on garbage Motorola phones like the V635 but they've finally gotten their act together.
The KRZR is built great, better than any Moto including the RAZR V3. And best of all I'm getting far longer battery life than I ever did with the 8800SE. The software isn't perfect but I'm getting used to it. Such a stylish little phone, Motorola's really showing their engineering muscle by getting more features than the 8800SE into a smaller package.
Anyway, you can see the phone here on GSMArena:

go for a K800i or W850i mate, i've had W850i for 3 days now and i've got 62% battery left, only problem is no autofocus on camera
i'm tempted to go for the K800i in silver though, only problem with that is the joystick, size and weight
i'm still undecided but these 2 are the best by far, Nokia are has-beens mate, i was a nokia nut until i saw the light when i got my old SE
hope that helps!

recieved my handset this morning on an o2 staff account. very impressed with the handset. On charge at the moment. Great looking handset, feels excellent quality and is packaged in a way that makes it feel special. Handset has all the features i need and hopefully won't be as deathly slow and freeze all time time like my n70.

hey all!
i use this fone for 3 weeks now. i used to own 8800 too which i sold the third day i had it. i bought scirocco for 850 euros in greece. now about my opinion. scirocco unlike 8800 does not have any software problems. my 8800 did restart itself from the first day, and trust me i dont like buying a 900 euros phone and being forced to wait 2 days to get an update. the battrey of scirocco is far better. it lasts 2 and a half days with pretty heavy use. one big pro is that this phone shine perfectly nice in black and people notice it a lot. not about my dislikes. its a bit heavy which isnt a problem for me. u cant change the color of the bars of battery and reception and this is stupid cause brown doesnt match all the savers. can any1 tell me if i use new software will i b able to change their color? at last the camera and the screen. the camera isnt good art all. i combared it with k750i and it was half as good. at the end i must say that the bluetooth in my scirocco didnt work and i had to take it back. also when i bought my 8800 my desk charger didnt work either. i strongly believe that when i spend 900 euros for a phone i expect to get the quality i pay for. thats all. by the way i use an se k800 too, and trust this phone is magnificent. so my conclusion scirocco is a good expensive fone with not many good features to use it only as a phone. its very beautifull though!

This phone is a pile, people go for the looks but can you tell me what you see that i don't ?
The original 8800 and this have the worst battery life and on the market, have very few worthwhile features and they're extremely heavy for their size.
And before you dismiss my comments i work for a UK mobile phone network, not saying which one, so i know my stuff.
It amazes me how many people ring up like "i want this phone and nothing else i'm not interested what you've got to say i don't want anything else" - these are the people who want to cancel their contract after 2 months saying the phone is Sh*te.
Never mind eh, as long as one of your friends stupidly thinks it's ace and your cool, and that makes you warm and fluffy inside, that's all that matters yeah ?!

This phone is for people who want a status symbol but can't afford a Vertu. It's as simple as that.

I am very dissappointed that having purchased this phone as a present for my wife, that it does not have a 'normal'ring tone that is loud enough to hear when it is in her handbag.

I used to have the normal 8800 and then i purchased the 8800 sirocca. The battery seems is 10 times better. The little software improvements are also a good additonal touch.
