| nghiemr's Full Review: Nokia 8890 GSM Cellular Phone |
I have a love-hate relationship with my Nokia 8890. Fortunately, I received it as a gift, otherwise I would be hating myself right now for purchasing such an expensive toy for what it's worth.
Style
I have to say that the best feature of this phone is its appearance. Very streamlined and professional, with it's brushed aluminum case. It's about 4 x 1 1/2 inches, and I love the way it easily fits into my small purse. I used to carry the Nokia 6190 or 3390, and size does make a difference. I barely notice the 8890
Functions
Reception
One of my neighbors turned on his car stereo and I ended up dropping a call.
