8890-more trouble than it's worth

by ngoh , Mar 05 '02
Pros: The best looking phone I've seen
Cons: Technical difficulties/price/GSM only/does not work well indoors

Mobile Goes Global

by wampyrii , Oct 01 '00
Pros: global access
Cons: price, no internet access
The first thing you notice about this phone is how small it is and how light. Weighing in at only 91grams this really is the bambino of the mobile world, but does this mean that it has limited functionality?

Not a bit of it! Nokia claim that...

Great phone, slightly dated now.

by stenz , Jan 20 '04
Pros: Battery life, sleek design, cool blue lights, extremely easy to use, nice size, nice charger
Cons: Display issue, missing features of newer phones
I bought this phone in 2000 right around when it was first available in the States. I paid roughly $500 for it at the time. The service was Voicestream, which changed to T-Mobile, and then in '03 I moved to Bermuda and switched the service to AT&T here. ...

The Perfect Phone?

by paulshih , May 25 '00
Pros: Looks way too good...
Cons: Pricy and over-powered signal strength
I used this phone while I was in Hong Kong this January. Well, it's either you LOVE this phone or you LOVE the Nokia 8860. The difference of course is the color of its cover, but on top of that, this phone (Nokia 8890) has blue back-lit lights,...

Smallest, Lighest World Phone on the Market Today

by zanybrainy , Feb 25 '01
Pros: Worldwide GSM, Ultracompact size, Attractive brushed-aluminum casing, Infrared modem
Cons: Not Web enabled, Battery tricky to remove, Expensive
The 8890 is the smallest, lightest world phone on the market today. I have previously owned the 8290, the 6190, and the 5190 - however the 8890 wins the style and functionality contest hands down. The battery life is extremely long - talk times last up...

Pros: Light weight Sexy rare glows nicely
Cons: 6 bills, wow! Brakes easily
The Nokia 8890 has more bells and whistles than people know what to do with. The light weight metallic phone is the mother ship of the Nokia line. With voice activation, Nokia steps up it's technology. Plus, with the IR built in, the phone can...
