| scarvera's Full Review: Nokia 8890 GSM Cellular Phone |
I have loved using this phone. Not only is it very intuitively functional - from the menu options to text messaging - but it is very eye-catching. I love people's reaction to first seeing it. Many times they will ask if it's the phone from the Matrix. The fact that it is not too widely used makes you feel like part of an elite club as well. Unfortunately, the LCD screen started flickering after only about a year of use. At times, the whole screen goes blank. Several other people I know had this exact same problem. I sent it back to Nokia, and they informed me that it was a $120 repair. Kind of a bummer since I paid almost $400 for the thing already.
