I see alot of people whining! previously I had 2 standard silver 8800's and they were honestly the best phones I have ever owned.
People on one half are complaining that the phone has no features, your being scammed, nokia have just stuck a metal case on a phone and charged a stupid price... -these people dont have the spare cash to afford a decent phone.. sorry guys! arwww :( maybe sometime in the future eh? ur stuck with big bulky 'smart phones' when people like me have actual GPS in there cars.. ACTUAL powerful apple laptops that piss on your symbian, and a very powerful mobile phone that commands respect and is worthy of being an everyday accesorry without being just one more cheap plasticky bit of technology that plagues your pocket!
...and on the other half we have the people that have clear experience with these phones! if you have used a normal 8800 then you will know the quality you are getting.. i believe the slide on the normal 8800 was developed by a f1 racing engineering team, the glass was scratch resistant! the weight just added to the feel of 'old school' quality! the screen was amazing it was perfect for viewing in bright sun or in the dark! so now imagine the sirocco with its 2mp digital camera, because all i do is want to be able to catch a quick snapshot of a moment that i wouldnt be able to pull out my digital camera at and i want to make and recieve calls and send text!
my current phone at the moment however is the n73... what a tacky piece of shit! its goin back tomoro! i need the sirocco! a real phone!
they are NOT smart phones... so sorry all you geeky installing apps and posting on symbian forum types... this clearly isnt for you! stick to your gay smart phones that develop lots of problems and need to be reflashed all the time!
My pocket has:
Apple Ipod Nano. - music.
Nokia 8800 - Communication.
My lifestyle permits:
Audi TT Quatro - travel.
Apple powerbook - internet, business, email.
if you drive a opel/vauxhall corsa... and u have a big dry desktop sitting there..
yeh yeh! smartphone! yay! lets pack more features than we can possibly safely do into a cheap tacky shell that one drop, and everything is corrupt and needs to be sent back!
does your phone turn itself on and off again? do you have restrictions on apps being installed? does your autofocus 3mp digital camera inside your phone take too long to actually focus and take the shot? by this time its a big blur on your screen? if you go online with your phone does your battery finish in an hour and a half? ...heres the solution! accept it! its clear this phone is out your reach! hahahahahahaah!

hello, my unit is 8800, is it possible to upgrade my cel into 2mega pxl like the 8800Sirocco... or if not, increasing the memory of my unit will do.

i bought this handset yesterday and i have been waiting for it since the day it was announced and seen my first glimpse of it. the battery does seem to be better and as ive heard from my friends who have it also have all liked it and all given good reviews about this phone. some people dont like it but if you have had the original 8800 then this is a must according to me. you will see and feel the difference. overall.... i must say i love this phone.

yes, the phone is very classy, but it is not the most expensive and elegant phone in the market, a company called vertu is probably the most expensive and elegant company with phones startin at 3K and ending to about as much as a very nice car.

Hi all! I just traded my Motorola K1 for a Sirocco. The phone is very classy, sleek look and just simply very nice to have. I was able to install everything I needed but one thing! I wanted to ask if anyone would know how to install a certificate for a Gmail POP3 email? I've tried to find out where and how to get it but doesn't seem to work. If anyone could help me, it'd be great! Thanks a bunch.

I've had this phone for around a week and am getting really annoyed with the ECHO of my own voice in the earpiece! It sounds strange, like its 3D. May be a fault with with mic. Has anyone else had the same problem?? I've been back to CPW with a view to exchanging it- I tried about 4 different handsets in store and they all did the same thing! I'm guessing that this must be a design fault. Can anyone help- if so pls drop me an email on julesbyeuk@yahoo.co.uk if you know of a fix or solution.!!

i have this phone, i love it, thats all i got to say, its like marmite, you either love it or hate it (or more to the point cant afford it and are just jealous!)
and to adam your quote I work in the industry! We sell Nokia and SE! I have no problem with Nokia. I just cant stand people ranting about this phone and how "this is a rich persons phone!" like rich people rule the world. This is not a rich persons phone! It is for people who want to seem rich to others! So while you are all walking around 'looking rich' and all, I will be walking around with that extral thousand in my back pocket spending it on something worthwhile!!!!!
how many poor people do you know with any power the world. so just shut up!

This Nokia is amazing it is very elegant and classy. When it comes to functionality it suits the people who are intrested only in answering the phone and recieving sms. Sending sms is harder than recieving them because the buttons are too small to write your messages. The memory is better than the earlier version but still they should have made it expandable. Camera is upgraded from VGA to 2 megapixel. As a summarry its a good phone if you want to stand out and also if you want a phone that you will not be changing for a long time.

if we consider the memory that Nokia give to 8800 Sirocco with the 2 MP camera.... I think we can't save our photo as many as we want, because image with 2 MP has very bytes. Why didn't Nokia give MMC/SD to 8800 Sirocco...
The different between 8800 and 8800 Sirocco is only upgrated camera to 2 MP

"there isn't a better looking phone on the market."
such is subjective. i personally think the Motorola KRZR K1 looks better. it's opinion.
