This phone is the pinnacle of exclusivity. Sure, there are many phones out there that do more but none that look or feel as good. The next step up is a Viewity which in my opinion are a bit too overstated. The 8800's simplicity in appearance & quality of materials are what make it perfect. It's not for everyone, but then neither is anything that's exclusive.

OVERALL this phone if you can afford it is the best around, the features it has are just enough for today's life, fair enough battery life. The N-Series have too many features which can be a problem. The more things there are the more things can go wrong. This phone will not keep you entertained like a N95 etc however it will do everything you want it do & shock you with its beauty.

Amazing design! Great phone! By the way does anyone know whether you can purchase better batteries off the Internet for this phone for longer talk time?

If you're going to spend so much money on this phone, it's worth spending another £10 on a better battery?

Let me know, Cheers.

This is NOT a 3G phone. 3G only starts at UMTS which this phone is not. This is on the Edge or HSCSD network not the HSDPA network, so don't be expecting fast downloads through this.

I have only had this phone for three days & I have to say it is excellent. The build quality is the best as is the software. As many before me have said, if you can afford it then get one, you will not be disappointed & will be the envy of all your mates. Well done Nokia keep up the good work.

I brought this phone today, it is really sleek & sleek & is worth the money, previous I owned the 8600 Luna but wasn't fully satisfied due to the 128mn internal memory, now I am happy :) by the way the dummy model in shops is nowhere near as nice as the actual phone. Buy it.

The phone seems to be really good. Usually what tends to happen down the line is that phones get slower the longer you have them so we will see how this phone turns out soon. As for N-Series phones & for them to bring out a phone like this is out standing. This phone is made from high quality metal & material unlike the Sony Ericssons. They are just cheap plastics so appreciate this phone. Definitely one to have. Hope I have helped. Good size also & if you're a guy this will definitely draw you some attention.
