by brad_cantrill Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jul 12 '00
Pros: Great for the global business man

Nokia 8890 Mobile Telephone

by PhoenixFlight Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 30 '00
Pros: Constant Signal No Matter Where I Am
Cons: Smallish Buttons
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...

Cons: International Roaming is Expensive
About 2 weeks before going for my 3 week trip to South Africa, I happened to come across a Nokia 8890 Phone on Ebay. I needed a new cell phone... and I thought my Nokia 2190 was a bit outdated, so I made sure I won the bid @ $550. You may be saying THIS...

Nokia 8890 - classic world phone

by bdwelle , Aug 15 '02
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...

Why does anyone else even make phones

by VincenzoSI , Sep 12 '00
Pros: Tiny size, battery lasts and lasts, simple menus
Cons: Relatively small keypad, backlight is kinda weird, The fact that I have to give it back (boo hoo hoo)
Sometimes a company finds a groove, and frankly I think Nokia is one of those companies.

It was purely a hunch that my friend would loan me his shiny new toy. It was pure joy when he actually did. Not that my phone is so huge (I have a...

The Nokia 8890: A Decent "Designer" Phone

by nghiemr Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 08 '01
Pros: Stylish, with many features.
Cons: Nokia sacrificed durability for style.
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...

Stylish phone for world-wide use, and yes, you can change that operator logo!

by dixu , Apr 04 '02
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...

Best phone yet...if you can afford it

by Switzerland2 , Jul 29 '00
Pros: Tiny size, world wide coverage, SMS and picture messaging. Great menu system
Cons: A bit too small. Feels a little flimsy.
Just bought this phone two days ago after having waited over 7 months. I had read every review in existence before buying, so I knew what to expect. So far it has lived up to all my expectations.

Pros: Small Size, GSM World Phone, Sleek Design
Cons: See text below
Background
I used to carry a Startac when they first arrived on the U.S. market, and in our area that meant analog. Regardless, I loved the size of that phone. When we moved overseas, I could not believe the advances in telephony! We...

Stylish, but very functional

by danak6jq , Jan 08 '01
Pros: Very stylish, well-made, very small and light, and global (900/1900)
Cons: not tri-band (900/1800/1900); International roaming isn't cheap
After lugging a Nokia 6160 around for 18 months, I decided I just had to have a GSM phone. The promise of roaming in Europe simply by taking my SIM card (the little card that plugs into the phone) with me and renting a phone when I got there was pretty...
