Nokia 8260 Cell Phone

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...

Pros: fits in your pocket without looking funny
Cons: sometimes sacrifices clarity for size

I am a gadget guy. I like the latest and the greatest in cell phone technology. BUT I don't like to LOOK like a 'cell phone guy' with a big, bulky phone that clips onto my belt for the world to see my latest purchase.

I used to have an...

Pros: Stylishly tiny form factor. Excellent set of ring options. Very good battery life.
Cons: Lack of good belt-holder accessories. Menu is not intuitively navigable.

This particular cell phone was prominently "product-placed" in the "Charlie's Angels" movie of November 2000, and that should be an indicator of how important style is to this piece of communication equipment. Its main attraction is its tiny size. I've...

Pros: Great phone - literally pocket size.
Cons: cheap hands free kit - buy the right OEM model

I upgraded from my trusty 6160 to the new 8260 and I love it. I wanted a smaller phone to fit in my shirt or pants pocket and the stubby antennae on my 6160 gets in the way if I put it in a jacket pocket. I love the fact that this phone, besides being...

Pros: small,light,can fit in your pocket
Cons: none

Skipping a generation, I went from a Nokia 2160 to the 8260... what a difference! I needed something small and able to use more current features; and wanted something stylish.

The 8260 actually fits in a shirt pocket and has all the bells and...

Pros: Small, sexy feature packed
Cons: Fiddley and radiation worries

What could I say about this phone. Well it's the most popular phone here in Australia right now and is selling out everywhere, thanks to its new low price.

ok lets get down to it.

•••LOOK ••• You can go much better than this. The...

Pros: Excellent service, and a great price
Cons: Almost small and light enough to loose

After one cellular tech world face lift, will Nokia stop at nothing to become/maintain their status as the worlds best...

With this phone...I say yes. After upgrading from the nokia 5100 series recently, I realized that nokia had finally...

Pros: small, different colored faceplates
Cons: gets scratched

Nokia 8260 debuted in the summer of 2000 here in the US. It is a TDMA phone. For those of you who don't know what that means, it is one of the three standards which are supported by US cell phones providers. AT&T is one of the few cell phone providers...

Pros: small form factor, good battery life, good signal strength, standard headset jack
Cons: no PC connection available (?); must re-input numbers through keypad

I'll admit that I was really seduced by the form factor; it feels less cumbersome than the pager I carried three years ago, and is functionally as good as my trusty Nokia 6160, which performed really well for the 18 months I had it.

Besides...

Pros: lightweight, compact, nice looking
Cons: poor reception, poor craftsmanship, control freak of a phone

I was previously the proud owner of a Nokia 6160 (I have even written a glowing review of it here on epinions.com). At the time the 6160 was introduced, I was working for AT&T Wireless and was one of the first people in the country to carry that phone....

Pros: Good Looks, Syling, Digital Interface
Cons: Too Small?, Not Always Clear

I love Nokia phones, and I personally find them to be the best on the market. The 5120 series seems to be the most popular, but then the Nokia 8260 came onto the market. It looked very stylish, and was a very small phone. My CellularOne plan was...

Pros: Compact, good battery life,no external antenna
Cons: keys very small and hard to see in dark, accessories limited, no external antenna output

I purchased this phone over a year ago when it was first introduced, so I have had a significant amount of usage from which to form an opinion.

The compact size is all in all a plus. It fits everywhere; easily in ones pants pocket, or in a...

Pros: Usable extras
Cons: Only 3 colors ;)

I have used Audiovox, Motorola, and Nokia phones in the past so when it came time to upgrade my Cell-One plan I looked at the current crop of phones. I can't stand wearing a phone on my belt since I do a lot of crawling around and work in close spaces so...

Pros: Size, weight, functions, features
Cons: Size can be small for larger people

I bought this when it was time to start looking for a replacement for my 6100 (check out that review). I probably would not have purchased it, as the price was $199.00, but AT&T and Nokia offered rebates and credits that lowered my cost to $34.00....

Pros: Size, sound, features
Cons: Headset ear bud

I purchased the Nokia 8260 because my previous cell phone's battery was no longer holding a charge for very long, and replacement batteries were proving to be very difficult to find. The 8260 came highly recommended by a few co-workers, so after much...
