Nokia 8800

The most gorgeous phone I've ever seen, I've given it to my 10 year old because he doesn't call anyone, he has it for emergency use. The battery has to be charged at least twice a day. It's shockingly bad for any phone even if I'd paid £20 I'd be upset. NOKIA SHOULD RECALL THIS BEAUTIFUL TRASH

Nokia 8800 is a beautiful phone!

Its more of a fashion phone. Functions are okay but its like carrying a piece of jewellery in your hand!:p

Great phone have had for over 2 years and after dropping into a cup of tea still kept on going can't say that about many phones would get another one if anything happens to this one.

The Nokia 8800 has been the worst phone i have ever had - battery life really really terrible. cuts off mid call all the time. just really frustrating. Do not touch this phone if you need any reliability or efficiency

Looks good, but in my opinion the battery life is poor, doesn't even last 1 day and thats with minimal use... Very unhappy with this Nokia phone.In recommend to never buy one...

Let's face it, this is less a functional phone in the most up-to-date sense of the word, and rather a fashion item. As of the year 2000, by all *practical* accounts this phone was out-of-date before it was even released. Yet I would recommend it, and I do rate it at least 7/10 on value for money, because quite simply this phone is not aimed at the wider audience. The target market for this phone is not going to be concerned with handset cost. Besides the regular phone functions, what you are getting is exclusivity and quality craftsmanship, stuff you don't get with a run of the mill plastic phone. If that is what you are after, the 8800 is a great piece of kit. Later models had more memory, but in my opinion the original 8800 has the best looks. A bit of an indulgence when new, it will become a little treat for someone who doesn't need all the fancy gizmos of the modern Smart phone.

There is a fault with this phone which i have heard about before. When i send out texts they are not delivering for days even though there is no fault with the other persons phone.I cant find a website with this complaint on it but have heard about this b4!!

The Nokia 8800 is the worst and most expensive phone I've ever had. If you ring Nokia there is a option saying "if you are the owner of an 8800..." such are the problems with this handset. I was lent a loan phone (Nokia 1100) that although wasn't half as luxurious thoroughly thrashed the £600 8800 and only cost 20 quid! This phone is a joke, never again will I buy Nokia.

This is definitely the worst phone I have ever owned, after only five months the phone was constantly crashing and the battery life appeared to get shorter over time. I don't usually buy Nokia phones but was floored by the 8800's looks, I definitely regret that decision, the features are poor, the phone is practically faulty from day one and Nokia should definitely recall them.

This phone is a colossal disappointment. Despite its neat styling, it is littered with faults. Apart from its propensity to crash , often in the middle of a call, the keypad is poorly thought out: when writing text messages, the bottom three keys - 7. 8 and 9 - are hard to use because they are insufficiently clear of the slider. The camera is of such poor quality that it would have been better to leave it out altogether. It looks and feels nice, but so do a lot of other phones costing a fraction of the price.
