| PhoenixFlight's Full Review: Nokia 8890 GSM Cellular Phone |
Although I am not the biggest fan of cellular telephones my job duties dictate constant communication with others so a cell phone is an absolute must have for me. I chose the Nokia 8890 for several reasons, none of them being the price, and have been 100% satisfied with it since my purchase.
The Nokia 8890 is 4 inches tall and weighs a mere 3.2 ounces making it one of the smallest cell phones available but don’t let the size fool you, there are a lot of extras inside this little package. The phone features games, a calendar for date references, vibration (ooh-la-la) mode, and over 30 tunes to choose from for your phone to play when it rings. Once you have loaded your phone numbers into memory you don’t even have to use the buttons to dial because the Nokia 8890 has voice dialing. Say the name of the person you want to call and the phone dials for you.
What makes the Nokia 8890 the ultimate mobile business phone though is the ability to connect and swap numbers easily between two phones using the infrared port that the phone has. Hooking it up to another phone allows you to quickly load data from that phone to yours ending the need to program every company phone you have. Having one phone with all the numbers that your employees need makes it a snap to get them on the road without having to manually input the information. The 8890 also features a battery that lasts for just about 3 hours talk time and I rarely lose a signal no matter where I am driving.
I have had nothing but positive experiences with the Nokia and it works very well with the local wireless phone service provider I have. The Nokia isn’t cheap, costing anywhere from $500-$600, but in my opinion it is the best cellular phone available and one that I highly recommend.
