Pros: qwerty keyboard, color screen, voice note recording
Cons: reception
The Bottom Line: I really suggest to look around for another phone if you are not getting the NOKIA 6800 for the qwerty keyboard because besides that it is just an average phone.

| mike22b's Full Review: Nokia 6800 |
I bought this phone along with my new ATT plan before I came to college this year. It cost me 50$ with my 550 daytime unlimited nighttime nationwide plan. I think the phone was normally 149 but I recieved an instant 100$ rebate. I bought this phone instead of the others because of the nifty qwerty keyboard feature. All of the other phones had what seemed to be the same exact features but different styling. This one had the special flip out keyboard feature that made it stand out. I also liked that it had 3min of voice recording time, so I could make notes to myself ( I normally carry around 10 sticky pads in my pocket as reminders of sertain things) now I dont have to. I really did end up liking the keyboard as I have used the phone to send emails very often.
One thing I like is that I was able to use my university email instead of a pre-assigned ATT email. I dont use the phone to recieve emails because it costs more money to download more info (there are many plans you can buy to reduce these "per kilobite costs". The voice recorder has taken all of the sticky notes out of my pocket. There is also a calender that you can use but I found that the voice recorder is enough for a college student.
I dislike the fact that the phone gets poor reception. I have held it up to my old Nokia phone and have seen a considerable lack of reception. I often have to turn the 6800 off and then on for it to recognise that there actually is a signal. But I guess I can live with it.
If you dont think that you will use the special features of this phone I would suggest another phone that gets better reseption.
The batteries last long enough for me to forget to plug it in for a night or sometimes two.
This phone comes with unusually crappy games but they can be downloaded for reasonable prices. I recomend to search for the game on your computer if you can because it costs money to surf around on your phone. But it is nice to have the games for when you are just sitting around.
For all of the other technical information that is useless to me go to the official NOKIA site of the 6800 phone:
