Nokia 8850

Most beautifull phone ever.

I can only rate this phone as a 5, as it's the only phone I have had.Works a treat. Getting real beaten up look about it the alloy casing is worn & added personality. I've got no need to upgrade at all at the nokia 8850 continues to do the job very simply. I need another battery now (3rd one since new) as the charge does not last very long. Looks are classy & timeless. The buttons are very small but work well with firm large fingers as I have.

I bought this phone a few weeks ago refurbished from eBay for £20, as a result of being fed up carrying around huge PDA phones for the past few years. Given the fact that it's 9 years old, you have to allow for lack of camera, colour screen, etc but this is the best phone around for someone who wants a light phone which is purely for calls and texting. Also looked exceptionally good for a phone of this age and would recommend this to anyone.

The Nokia 8850 gorgeous phone, I love mine to the point i've taken her apart and she just is so easy to maintain and repair - good original quality housings are expensive and lack quiet a few components like the battery in the key pad (Hood the time/date) and the chassis is made out of little less metallic plasticky material without the originals shine the sticker and the battery compartment right hand plastic strip in the frame of the battery compartment.Poor OEM or fake easy cheap but lack the originals quality feel and texture.

I have had the Nokia 8850 phone bout 2 weeks now from this date, i like the older phones better than the up to date ones now, any one who wants a classic older nokia phone this is the target you wanna hit!!

It is an ideal phone for any one who is looking for a simple, economical and good looking phone.

The Nokia 8850 is the classiest mobile phone i've ever used. I simply love the slide which protects the keypad and ends the call.This phone comes with very basic features just like the 8210 though the price is way up there!The phone produces acceptable call quality though i experienced quite a number of dropped calls.Other than the display contrast problem which fades away sometimes,the display is clear and easy to read.The phone truly is in a class of its own and i find it a pleasure to have it in my hand.

I used this Nokia 8850 mobile phone for about 2 years. I initially bought it for the stylish design, appealing to all. But as some say, the functions on this phone are standard. Nothing special. This phone is for appearance.

However i have no complaints about it. It looks good and does what u need it to.

Before I started to use the 8850, I thought it looked pretty smooth with its modern aluminium cover, but as usage started, I relised that looks aren't everything. The Nokia website promises 'calls when you speak' but even if you shout when you are setting the voicetags, it comes out almost silent. The games can be addictive and fun as you play whilst sitting at the busstop, but they cannot compare to the likes of the 3410 and Space Impact. When you are speaking, there is an echo, which gets TERRIBLY annoying. The text messages are also messed up by the fact that if you press 1 three times (for C) then the word 'cab' appears. continue to press 1 and 'Cabba?' will appear. therefore you have to go to 'insert word' a few menus in to send a text. What is good about the 8850 though, is what is does well, it does VERY well. A very soso phone.

Very handy phone but it does have some flaws as well, screen gets garbled and a common problem with most 8850's is that the person at the other end is unable to hear you, mic problem???
