Good phone overall though.

Date: 15th Oct 2009

I've had this mobile now for 8 months & the battery life is really poor. There is no point in even charging the phone as the battery dies out after making one call.

Other features of the phone are good & the phone itself is not bad at all however because of the battery, I would not advise anyone to buy it.

Awesome phone had for about 7 months, & never had a fault! I have been through many phones but this is the best one yet!

Date: 23rd Apr 2009

This is the best phone I ever had! Stylish & cool. The only one thing is, I can't listen to the music because sound is really rubbish.

Reviewer: Miko - Toronto, Canada
Date: 11th Mar 2009

One cannot appreciate the Luna to its fullest until one has it in the palm of his hands. A Masterpiece. This is what a fashion phone should be, no rubbish features for there are other gadgets to do those things. Just straight up business & stunning good looks.

Reviewer: Josh - Perth Wa, Australia

I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the speaker phone is any good as I had the Nokia 8800 & was the worst sound I have heard on a phone for about 9 years! Cheers.

Date: 15th Sep 2008

I've had this phone for quite a long time now. It is so good I can't put into words. Best phone built by far.

---

Reviewer: Speedy - Blackburn, UK
Date: 9th Jul 2008

This is a great phone but over the course of 6 months the phone causes a lot of problems e.g. Microphone starts to make a crackling sound, the silver chrome starts peeling off, also the back of the phone starts coming loose.

Overall the phone is only good for a matter of 6 to 8 months after that period the phone has a lot of problems.

Reviewer: Willian - London, UK

This is the best phone I have ever had.

Reviewer: Domino - London, UK
Date: 26th Mar 2008

Phone looks good but really doesn't have many features. Not that I ever use them anyway!

Had mine for about 9 months & at random intervals the screen just turns completely white & the phone refuses to respond to you. If you are on a call, the call is just dropped & it has become very annoying.

I have bought exclusively Nokia for the past 10 years & never had a problem. Seriously considering another make due to the problems experienced with this handset.

Reviewer: Claire - Germany
Date: 20th Mar 2008

Good day to all, can anybody tell me who is using this phone whether this phone has a signal reception problem. How is the call & signal quality? Thanks in advance.

---

Reviewer: Michael Scoble - Oxford, UK
Date: 28th Feb 2008

I bought the Nokia Luna 2 weeks ago & am very pleased with it, the build quality is excellent, the camera is OK, the features are really easy to use, & the battery life is good, I get about 3 to 4 days use from it, worth buying.

---

Reviewer: Craig - Portsmouth, UK
Date: 8th Feb 2008

I had this phone supplied to me by Vodafone's awful insurance company to replace my damaged 8800 Sirocco. For years I have had Nokia's flagship metal phone & find the build quality of this a substantial letdown.

There are 3 bright faulty pixels on the display & the camera lens is wonky not lined up in its square recess properly.

It is certainly not up to the 8800 Sirocco standards & NOT a good substitute.

All in all a poorly built substitute for Nokia premium Sirocco. Never worth £400 plus.

Reviewer: Jonny Sinbin - Worthing, UK
Date: 26th Jan 2008

Beautiful looking phone. Feels great if you like your phones solid & heavy. Only thing I would say that lets it down is the access to the #, 0 & * keys down the bottom due to the slide being in the way, only slightly though. Almost perfect, but not quite. Buy it.

Reviewer: Nabilah - Cardiff, UK
Date: 26th Jan 2008

This phone is a show stopper, I am the envy of my family & friends.

Reviewer: Corinna - UK
Date: 14th Jan 2008

I have had the phone for just over two months. It has been sent off for repair once & will be going back again. It crackles when trying to make & receive calls. At first, it just crackled for a short time & then was fine. Eventually, it started crackling consistently. They have not repaired it & it is now crackling again (after working for about two days, although I only made short calls during that time). A member of staff at the chain of stores I bought the phone from said Oh! I have that phone, isn't it annoying how it crackles all the time? , even before I mentioned my problem with the phone. My advice, do NOT touch with a barge pole!

Wicked phone, got for £50 on upgrade (12 month). Is very good for the money, I could have had a 6500 classis or n95 8GB for free, but went for this & glad I did. Its solid as a rock, does what you need it to, & oozes quality. Got iphone theme with nice colour icons, & that nice swish noise when you slide it open. A good phone for 50 quid in my book. Buy one!

---

Reviewer: Ayman - England, UK
Date: 20th Dec 2007

Awesome phone for doing basic stuff, which is what it was made for! I gave up my N-Series for a nice, good looking weighty fashion phone as I just didn't use all the features enough.

I'd much rather have this phone with an ipod & 7MP camera separate as phones still don't come close to a standalone camera & prob won't for a few years. This phone does all the basic things you need extremely well & looks stunning, perfect!

---

Reviewer: Mike - London, UK
Date: 6th Dec 2007

An absolutely perfect phone, much better battery life than 8800 & 8800SE, superior design & elegant touch. Nokia's operating system is as best & smooth as ever, nothing more needs to be said, GET IT.

Perfect phone, I think this is enough.

Reviewer: David - London, UK
Date: 2nd Nov 2007

Not a bad phone. Looks nice. Feels a bit cheap when compared with my old Nokia 8800 & Sirocco. The glass front looks cool but feels like plastic.

Much better than the sirocco in terms of usable buttons & bigger better screen. Some issues with usability with regards the slide mechanism. Going back to the N-Series mobiles from Nokia have shut everything off when you close the slide. This one doesn't making it a bit of a tuff to lock the keypad etc. Also useless ringtones included. Want my old ones from the sirocco or even the 8800. Can't have everything.

I would still recommend this phone to anyone. Less compromised than the old Nokia flagships, but in doing that they've also made it just that little less special.

Reviewer: Chandra - London, UK

It's a very nice handy phone. The only drawback is that it does not take memory card & camera is not that happening. But after all it's a classy phone & not a camera.

---

Reviewer: Sara - Surrey, UK
Date: 31st Oct 2007

Looks good, is heavy & I had 2 phones within 2 weeks. Both broke. Keyboard too small & to try & use the buttons at the top where the glass slides up is virtually impossible. I really don't like this phone.

---

Reviewer: Atta - Egypt
Date: 30th Oct 2007

It is not such a good phone as it doesn't have enough memory for me to pay such price.

---

Reviewer: Slimmonty - Portsmouth, UK
Date: 18th Oct 2007

The Luna is built to a very high standard, they are N-Series Nokias. The Luna is a phone that makes calls & does it very well, it's a nuisance having to open the slider to achieve best coverage, but you can live with that.

I have had all the phones that offer all the features but I adore the Luna & think I will have it for a long time. Oh by the way Sony Ericsson P1i is far better than N95 for build & features.

Reviewer: George - UK

Good to own. I have had it for two weeks now & there has been no cause to feel otherwise.

Reviewer: Ian - Manchester, UK
Date: 3rd Oct 2007

Fantastic phone. Nokia's best yet. I am your typical Nokia snob & wouldn't entertain any other make. This phone will last years in terms of looks & features. Nokia's Department have really pulled one out of the bag this time!

---

Reviewer: Jamie - Plymouth, UK
Date: 2nd Oct 2007

Am only able to comment on the design & looks so far as not charged. Looks amazing, 10 times better than what it looks like on the web. Good solid feel & solid closing mechanism.
In brief pictures the keypad cover looks transparent, it isn't its solid stainless steel as is most of the phone. Very happy so far. (Ignore the 100% features & usability review).

Sensational phone. That is all.

---

Reviewer: Kamal - Seremban, Malaysia
Date: 12th Sep 2007

Oh come on guys. This is a just typical Nokia phone. Features nothing much different than Nokia 6233. Maybe it's just the sleek design only. Otherwise. I strongly suggest you to choose other phones.

---

Reviewer: Neil - Liverpool, UK
Date: 9th Sep 2007

Really hot, best Nokia by far, never mind N95 has sat nav, it's like my omega watch class. N95 loads more stuff like a watch from Argos, cheap in all departments. 8600 Luna is a omega.

Date: 28th Aug 2007

Brilliant, had the phone two weeks & can't fault it apart from on the Nokia website say you can expand the memory but baffles me can see where there should be a slot but not one there? Otherwise well worth the cost? Battery is lasting me 5 days maximum but still I didn't expect more?

Reviewer: Sultana - Huddersfield, UK
Date: 21st Aug 2007

VERY good phone. But me myself I wouldn't spend more than £200 on it! It's a shame eh! But I got it for my birthday from my boyfriend! Bless him cost him a bomb.

Reviewer: Alonso - Manchester, UK
Date: 20th Aug 2007

B-E-A-UTIFUL

IT HASNT GOT the FEATURES OF OTHER PHONES, SUCH AS 5 MEGA PIXEL CAMERA OR HOLDS A MILLION SONGS! BUT WHO CARES, THIS PHONE IS CLASS!

eBay £300 BRAND NEW, SIM FREE, THEN GO O2 MONTH BY MONTH SIM CARD--£15 & ITS GOT A POKER GAME!

Reviewer: Amar - Rochdale, UK
Date: 16th Aug 2007

Just recently purchased the phone, battery life is disgraceful also putting the phone on & off takes time, other times hardly comes on after a long while. Other that it's a cool phone!

---

Reviewer: Jo - Shanghai, China
Date: 6th Aug 2007

Well I never! I love this phone. I want to have it so bad. But I can't believe it is so expensive. I read that it was just released in Hong Kong on the 12th of July, Which is just about a month ago & it is just so expensive. I would love to have this phone. It's just that I do not think that I will ever be able to afford it. Or make my parents believe that this is my love. Keep it going Nokia! X

---

Reviewer: Charlie - UK
Date: 25th Jul 2007

Love this phone, only complaint so far is when you take it out of your pocket to answer a call, if the magnetic fastener for the case slides across the case downwards the phone drops the call.

---

Reviewer: Paul - England, UK
Date: 22nd Jul 2007

This is a good phone yes you buy it for the spec, yes you buy it for the looks & the poser factor, & yes it is cheaper than a sports car.

Reviewer: David Chiu - Kowloon, Hong Kong
Date: 12th Jul 2007

I've been using the Nokia 8600 Luna for a week now. It was a tough decision changing from a Nokia N80 & debating between this phone or the N95. I know most people would think that I am crazy for choosing for 8600 over the N95. But in fact, I am not regretting it at all.

After 1 week use, the design is really elegant & clean maybe not better but definitely stereo Bluetooth headset.

Hey at last it's user friendly too. If people that think this phone is garbage or not worth it, you're simply looking at the wrong market for phones.

Overall I love this phone over my N80.

Reviewer: Phone Designer - San Diego, US
Date: 11th Jul 2007

Someone commented in this thread that the Luna is nearly identical to Nokia's 6233.

Not true.

6233 is a totally different phone that was designed in a Nokia R&D center on a different continent. 8600 Luna was designed out of Nokia San Diego off a completely different platform from 6233. I am a Nokia R&D guy & was involved with the design of Luna.

It is very bad.

---

Reviewer: Beano - Glasgow, UK
Date: 1st Jul 2007

For me the most important factor on any phone is the battery life more than does it have sat nav? & has it got toothbrush & shaving razor, pen knife attachments etc. I also have the 6230i which I rate high-resolution & the battery life holds out very well approx 8-11 days on average. Also if you get a hold of the phone unlocked you will notice an immediate shut down & start up without all the network software installed & that is a great reason to grab this phone now as I would worry that perhaps when you wait for the likes of Orange to release the phone it will have slightly longer shut down & start up times. I use Orange & this is the first time I have had a software free phone. Love it!

---

Reviewer: Stevo - Manchester, UK
Date: 27th Jun 2007

In all essence it's the same phone as the 6233 but with more memory, a fancy shell & a hefty price tag. It's the perfect phone for people who are desperate to impress or pretend to have status & it's cheaper than buying a sports car.

Reviewer: Kish - Leicester Uk, UK
Date: 11th Jun 2007

I have had the phone since it came out. It is a really good phone. But the cover keeps getting fingerprints everywhere when you touch it, which really annoys you as you have to keep cleaning it. Otherwise wicked phone! £500! Worth it;)

Hey guys, I don't know much about this phone now, I just wana buy it. Its impressive. Took my heart away at first look, but that's not all I want, I wana know about the battery point of view. How long its battery last? I make calls & receive a lot in a day. Would it stay like the other old Nokia phone or new phones like n95 with such a bad battery life, if yes then I am outa here, cheers guys, let me know.

Reviewer: Thomas - Ascot, UK
Date: 3rd Jun 2007

I got the Nokia 8600 Luna a few days ago from the Carphone Warehouse & it is simple superb, easy to use & looks absolutely brilliant. Everyone who see's it wants to have a closer look, but to be honest a had the same thing happen with my previous phone, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco which again was really excellent.

Well done Nokia, 2 great phones in a row.
