Pros: Small size, long battery life, simple agenda, 250 memory locations
Cons: Fragile, Good Value (if you search around), Terrible Ringing Tones

Pros: works great for its size, durable, gets your attention
Cons: heats up on long conversations

I just started a new job and asked my wife to purchase a new cell phone for me at the mall. I wanted something that was duel mode analog/digital because in the Columbus OH area I was always running into trouble with my all digital phone. At first I...

Pros: REALLY light; included vibrating function
Cons: Buttons are idiotically small. EXPENSIVE.

I purchased the 8260 two months ago at a local phone store. They were just starting to catch on and everyone seemed to have one. Naturally I was attracted to the cool styling and the electronic gadgets like the calculator and the calendar.

As...

Pros: Small, light, large screen, nice buttons, lots of extras
Cons: Battery does not last too long, may be a bit too small for big hands

After using this phone for some time, here's what I have to say:

- Size/Weight : This phone is incredibly small. So small, in fact, that it could fall out of your pocket without you knowing it (although some of the Samsung brand phones are...

Pros: Size (sometimes), features, looks, battery life, it vibrates
Cons: Ringing volume, price, small keys, no Express-On Covers

Very recently I decided to change my previous Nokia 5160 phone. Now keep in mind I loved my phone, but I had some complaints. Well, not really, but I did want to have the greatest phone on the market and the 5160 was getting old. I wanted a smaller...

Pros: Small size, durable, long battery life, good reception, built-in vibrator, standard headphone jack
Cons: Small size takes some adaptation, but easy to do

I purchased this telephone after my dissatisfaction with the Ericsson R280LX. As stated in that review, I have been a cellphone user since 1991 and routinely purchase one or two new cellphones each year for personal/business use (one at a time for my own...

Pros: Small & unobtrusive, long battery life, internal antenna provides reception comparable to external

Pros: Small Size,airscripting ability, Good signal reception,internal vibrate, headset,and Li-ion battery.
Cons: No internet access. Extra features that come on the 8290 GSM model

I just bought my 8260 a week ago. I wasn't too sure about the phone though. Especially with the internal antennae. Heard some things about the 8860 having signal problems. Went to a Nokia seminar that was displaying the 8260 about a month ago. Nokia reps...

Pros: convenient size, sensible functions, visually pleasing design
Cons: no voice dialing, no browser, calender/PIM a little hard to use

The Nokia 8260 is a solid phone that focuses on the essential functions. It doesn't have a lot of fancy features like the Sprint phones, but it has all the necessary ones, plus a little extra.

The Good:

First, it's shaped like a...

Pros: The Nokia 8260 - great phone and a great deal with some companies!
Cons: Almost too small....

The 8260 is my third Nokia phone. These phones really are all that they are cracked up to be. The changes they have made in the line of improvements are weight and styling and a wide range of other features.
I love the volume control on the...

Pros: size weight won't snag
Cons: hard to grip

i got the 8260 three months ago from buy.com. it was 100 with a 50 dollar nokia "atm card" rebate plus a 20 dollar ecoupon. nokia ended up sending me a check for 50 so my net cost was 30 plus about 10 for shipping. interestly enough the cost of this...

Pros: small, cute, not as flimsy as it looks
Cons: not made for big fingers, can be pricey

I think this phone is so cool. It is small, nicely designed, and functional. Okay, those of you with large fingers are not going to agree with me. Yes, I admit it, every now and then I will dial a wrong number because the keys are small. There are times...

Pros: Great looks
Cons: High Price not much value added

My girlfriend bought a Nokia 8260 a few weeks ago. I have been an owner of Nokia 6161 for almost 2 years. I am going to write this opinion as a comparison between the 2 models.

We've also looked at other Nokia phones such 8890 before making...

Pros: small, light, 2-way paging
Cons: sometimes loses signal in my pocket, wish it had the internet feature

I bought this product because I was getting tired of my Sprint PCS service and Samsung 3500 phone. I decided to go with AT&T and look into the phones that they offered. Well I went with the Nokia 8260 because I enjoyed the look as well as the feel...

Pros: small size, lightweight, vibration ringer
Cons: small shape, smooth exterior makes it hard to grab onto

I replaced my Nokia 6160 with the Nokia 8260 a month ago. The Nokia 6160 was a great phone, but the size was a bit bulky. The Nokia 8260 seemed to be best the Nokia 6160 represented, but in a smaller sleek package.

I enjoy using the Nokia...
