Nokia 8860 Cell Phone

Pros: Small, comes with lots of accessories, full of features
Cons: No WAP browser, expensive, attracts fingerprints

At the MIT media lab, you encounter a bunch of neat toys, and it just so happens that we got a Nokia 8860 in our research group to "evaluate." That said, we love the phone, and here's why...

One of the smallest phones in the...

Pros: it's cool
Cons: functionally, it's no better than the one for $200

This is THE coolest phone out there -- no doubt. It's chrome, sleek, sexy, fits great in your hand (please ignore all Freudian references here), has no antenna, and the keypad is under a slide-down cover straight out of "The Matrix." But...
...

Pros: internal antenna, attractive cover
Cons: price, TDMA chip, price, lower battery life, price

For a person who is an adament fan of the Nokia line of products, my overall impression of the Nokia 8860 is one of disappointment. I believe that the Nokia 6000 series is one of the finest lines of mobile phones on the market today, so when I...

Pros: Good style, long battery life, sleek design keeps phone handing, small size for easy accessiblity, no annenta to prevent broken ones, great reception no stratchy stuff
Cons: none what so ever except for the extremely high price

I purchased this phone at radio shack about a month ago. It looked nice, and what really grabbed my attention was that this phone needs no attetna. Usually I am known for breaking phones by either snapping, and removing the annetna completely. This is...

Pros: Small, stylish
Cons: Poor analog service, bad ergonomics

I lusted for the 8860 from the moment I saw it on the Nokia website, months before it become available in the States. I had owned a 6160 for close to a year, but I ran out and bought the 8860 as soon as my service provider, AT&T, offered them. Price...

Pros: Small, light, aesthetically unmatched.
Cons: Basic features only, expensive.

I won't reiterate the basic specs covered in earlier reviews. Consider this an "extended use" recap. I was an early adopter (September '99, I think). My opinion follows use of this phone with two major wireless carriers while living in two...

Pros: People will oooh and aaaah for maybe 5 minutes.
Cons: Always looks filthy/ Scratches easily.

This is the phone that you love to hate. I have never had such a love/hate relationship with any product until now.

I am a techno-freak, and love to have the latest and greatest, however, when this phone first came out, $800 was a bit steep....

Pros: Style and portability
Cons: poor performance, hight cost

Since the 8000 series was first anounced on the net, I had been eagerly awaiting its arrival to US shores. Quite a disappointment, as a long time 6160 owner, I had a quite a few expectations which were not met. I'll start with the gripes, then on to the...

Pros: small
Cons: way too small, it looks like a toy

Nokia 8860 hype up the market with it's size and style, I have to admit it i was totaly in love with it, until i actually hold it in my head. "What? this is it?? $500 phone that looks and feels like a toy?" the phone was way to small to...

Pros: Light and compact, Sliding case for easy button access
Cons: Sure to be noticed, so it easily gets annoying

I shouldn't be saying much about this phone, since it got stolen about 3 months after I owned it. But during the period I owned it, I kept on receiving oooh's and aaah's from people all around.

I bought this phone before AT&T Wireless...

Pros: very cool looking, decent sound quality and reception, very nice accessory set included with the phone, better built in USA than 8200 series
Cons: lame battery life, when people see it they think you're rich (i guess there's a + and - to that)

As a member of the Internet generation, one thing that I cannot live without is my mobile phone. So you can imagine my dismay to find that my new house was too far from a Pacific Bell tower to get decent reception. Something had to be done, and fast....

Pros: Small, Good Battery, Good Interface
Cons: Chrome

I bought the 6160 the day it came out. I thought it was the best phone ever! I held off upgrading to the 8860 for several reasons:

1- Price
2- The battery doesn't last as long
3- I heard conflicting reports about reception...

Pros: dependability
Cons: cost

The Nokia team has been working hard on this line of sleek mobile phones. The Nokia company has come a long way from the small company named for a small southern town in southern Finland. Before becoming the great success it is now, the company was...

Pros: Super Small, great look, games!!
Cons: Price, Performance, Ergonomic issues.

This is one of the best looking phones on the market. Generally, I hate the look of the Nokia phones currently on the market because their design is not appealing at all even though they are small and light.

That is why I was very interested...

Pros: Sleek, chic, chromy, sliding cover with built-in mic, external and internal features, variety of ring tones, NO external antenna, Tons of features. Variety of accessories
Cons: There's no cons for this piece of art.

A whole new world of wonders come with the new Nokia 800 series mobile phone. Light, Small and so good looking, it comes to shock the tech industry. I came across this phone by accident, i wasn't thinking of getting a new phone since my Motorola Startac...
