Recently got this off ebay.
Pros:
- Looks good
- Slide phone (I like this personally, others might hate it)
- Cover compound is like an alloy, not plastic.
- LCD display. This is a pro if you work outdoors since you can't see colour screens in the sun! Might be a con to you.
Cons:
- Uses BLB-2 battery, battery life isn't that great compared to newer phones with similar functions. (I used to have a 2600 and battery life on that was excellent compared to BLB-2 battery phones [8210 and 8855])
- Closing the keypad cover cancels what you are doing. This doesn't make sense to me. When I type an SMS and hit send then close the cover, it cancels me out to the main screen. I am used to clearing the SMS text so I can have a blank page next time I compose a message.
- The back battery cover is *extremely* loose. I thought this might be because I bought off ebay, but inspection shows no damage of the back cover slide. There is only one clip for the whole back cover, and no depression buttons to hold it on like most Nokia phones. This is the biggest flaw I find with the phone. It is extremely annoying. When you hold the phone in one hand and slide hte keypad cover closed, the back cover slides off from teh pressure placed on your fingers.
- SIM card holder fails. I've had the phone one day and twice the phone has said "Insert SIM card". I think this is a design flaw as well as the SIM card moves a little when placed in position.
- SMS memory size. I've reached max number of messages in 1 day. It is an older model though, compares to the 8210 sms bank size.
Overall I think the phone is good for its outward looks and the LCD display. It has some bad design flaws which really shouldn't be there but are. Get this phone as a sparey or for when you are going out.

This mobile design is simply the best. How can you resist such quality mobile. There is no match with current advance phone.You just can'r compare with it.

Timeless design. Even if the color/camera phones are taking the limelight, the 8855 still stands out. Performance is A-okay!

I have a 8855.. Recently purchased it (yes in 2004) for a bargain basement of $1500 (£110).... i am from the UK and this model was never released. I just want to say that this model is superior to the 8850 in terms of batt life and software functionalities... The design is slightly better too in my opinion, the lines on the phone is smmother and better on the eye. I truly love it. I went for an all time classic rather than a modern character-less camera phone...

I used the Nokia 8850 GOLD and personally i believe it looks better than the Nokia 8855 but when you really weigh it up you will discover that the Nokia 8855 has an amazing battery compared to the Nokia 8210, 8850, 8310, 6510!!! ITS HAS A MUCH LONG STAND BY AND TALK TIME SO THAT IS REALLY AN IMPROVED FEATURE INTRODUCED!! Metal phones are in class of there own and when they are compared to all the other shitty PLASTIC phones this phone stands out together with the Nokia 8850 and 8890. However the Nokia 8850 and 8890 are now many years old and extremely behind in features. THE NOKIA 8855 HAS NEW GAMES, SCREEN SAVER, AND WAP!!! THESE ARE ALL FEATURES THE NOKIA 8850 NEVER HAD!!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
