Smallest, Lighest World Phone on the Market Today

Written: Feb 25 '01
  • User Rating: Excellent
  • Durability:
  • Clarity:
  • Portability:
  • Battery Life:
Pros:Worldwide GSM, Ultracompact size, Attractive brushed-aluminum casing, Infrared modem
Cons:Not Web enabled, Battery tricky to remove, Expensive
The Bottom Line: Sure, It's price tag would send most in to orbit, but the reception quality and massive amount of features truly make it worth it!

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 to 3.5 hours with standby times up to a week. Unlike the TDMA/AMPS phone the 8890 can roam worldwide on the GSM system. VoiceStream digital coverage in New York is equal to or better than the competition- and I have roamed all over the US using this phone. Infrared port allows wireless data connection with your laptop on the road - with a new high speed offering soon to be offered. And finally, the sleek gun-metal gray casing turns heads anytime you bring the phone out in public. A must have phone for the individual who wants the best in wireless technology.

Recommended: Yes


Amount Paid (US$): 400.00
