Pros: Battery life, sleek design, cool blue lights, extremely easy to use, nice size, nice charger
Cons: Display issue, missing features of newer phones

I bought this phone in 2000 right around when it was first available in the States. I paid roughly $500 for it at the time. The service was Voicestream, which changed to T-Mobile, and then in '03 I moved to Bermuda and switched the service to AT&T here. ...

Pros: Everything!!! It has class, style, function, durability, portability!!
Cons: Accessories hard to find! Replaced LCD screen in november 2001.

NEW JULY 2003 REVIEW:
***UPDATE: I just replaced the back cover last month and I've tossed my newer Motorola v66 phone aside and went back to my 8890. Nokia phones have a better menu system and far better reception than motorola and sprint (the...

Pros: Sleek style, intuitive functionality
Cons: LCD lifetime/durability questionable

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....

Pros: TOUGH, beautiful, classy, works great at home (Hawaii) and when I'm in Europe, love it!
Cons: It's (still) pricey...

This is a true story: I've owned my 8890 for over 2 years now and wouldn't trade it for anything. About 2 months ago, I threw my Levi's in the washing machine without checking the pockets, and when I came back to remove the load of washed clothes, there...

Pros: SMALL SIZE,COOL BACKLIGHT,NICE ONE HANDED SLIDE,ATTENTION GETTER
Cons: BATTERY COVER VERY LOOSE, SCREEN FLICKERS AND DISSAPEARS, HAD TO REPLACE 4X

THIS PHONE IS REALLY A GREAT PHONE WHETHER YOU GOT IT BACK THEM OR EVEN NOW. THEY STOPPED MAKING IT BECAUSE OF THE SCREEN PROBLEMS. I HAD TO REPLACE MINE 4X THANK G-D I HAD INSURANCE. STILL I WOULD GET THIS PHONE EVEN WITH THE PROBLEMS ITS PROS OUTWEIGH...

Pros: Lightweight, can use in 120 countries, voice activated.
Cons: na

This is a wonderful phone for the world traveler, and if you dont mind spending the money for one a nice toy for anyone who isnt planning on traveling as well. This handset his the newest in the nokia line for the US and is a wonderful addition, when...

Pros: Infrared features, nice design, nice ergonomics, nice class
Cons: poor sound, below average functions, pricey, delicate, sub-par reception

This phone has great class. The 8890 has a sophisticated and modern design enhanced with its external antenna, which gives it somewhat of a boost in reception. The titanium alloy casing fits comfortably in your hand giving it an good ergonomic factor....

Pros: Elegant design, world phone, solid body feel.
Cons: Lacks durability, expensive, lacks triband.

ok by now you must have read all the specs on this phone so i'm going to focus on my own personal experience with this phone, which I hope will help you decide whether or not this phone is for you.
(mental note: I'm not a heavy phone user, I value...

Pros: great UI, tiny size, nice design, internal antenna, infrared, vibrating alert, 2-way SMS/email
Cons: durability, flaky LCD connection, no WAP, can't store email addresses, not a world phone

With the 8890, Nokia created one of the classic modern cell phone designs. It's simple, elegant, compact, and works in both the US and Europe. Although this design at least 3 years old, I still haven't seen a newer world phone that beats it on my...

Pros: Very stylish, light weight, durable, external antenna for better signal.
Cons: Poorly made for a Nokia, flawed screen.

I've had nothing but Nokia cell phones since day one. Starting with the 2160, 6160, then finally the 8860. All were great phones, never had a problem with any of them. About 2 years ago I switched from AT&T to Cingular because the Nokia 8890 was...

Pros: small, stylish, dualband GSM for world-wide use
Cons: price, not triband, GSM network coverage

If looks could kill, the nokia 8890 is undoubtedly the king of all cell phones. It is small, the size of a credit card, light (less than 4oz), and extremely stylish. The slide cover and blue/white back light gives it a futuristic look that is bound to...

Pros: The best looking phone I've seen
Cons: Technical difficulties/price/GSM only/does not work well indoors

I am a fairly new cell phone owner. I have had one for less than a year. When I started searching for a phone, I wanted the best one I could find. Money was no object. The 8890 had received above average reviews and I loved the way it looked. Unfortu ...

Pros: Light Weight, Stylish, Alluminum paint finish
Cons: Screen Display problems, fragile finish/ screen/ slide mechanism

In Dec. 2001 i purchased this unit from a reseller of Cingular Wireless USA phones and services. I was happy to get a world cellphone and it had an interesting display in purple compared to my existing Nokia 3290 and Nokia 8290. The first month january...

Pros: Compact
Cons: Easy to drop

This phone is awesome. it is very small and is hardly noticeable in a pocket. it has an aluminum case that is very durable and stylish. the only problem that i have had with this phone is that it is so small that if i put it between my legs while i am...

Pros: Stylish, Small, Comfortable, Professional.
Cons: Expensive, Fragile.

After tearing away from a horrendous encounter with Verizon Wireless, I decided to look for a new cellular phone company. After viewing the phones and service plans from Sprint PCS and Cingular Wireless, I decided to go with Cingular Wireless due to...
