Nokia 8890 - Quality Sacrificed

by blulegend , Nov 10 '00
Pros: Nice look, great technology, and awesome features
Cons: Needs better quality control, phones aren't all the same, sometimes has software crashes, and a bit pricey
Nokia has always made quality phones. This review will show you why this is both true and false.

For a $500-600 phone the 8890 is surely feature packed. The sound quality, talk time, and other standard features are at Nokia's signature...

Drains your bank account, but well-worth the price

by EAA1978 , Sep 24 '00
Pros: very small, very light, very cool, very convenient
Cons: very very very very expensive
OK, before we get started, I just have one short announcement to make: Because I own this phone, I'm now the coolest man in the world. There's no two ways about it; no-one can compare.

I bought this phone a week ago from a wireless store in...

Darn, did I misplace that puny cell phone again?

by norm , Jan 17 '01
Pros: really compact, very stylish, voice dialing, beautiful backlight, global support
Cons: really compact, tiny dial pad, only 8 voice dialing memories, price
I got this phone as a Christmas present to replace my trusty and reliable Nokia 6190 that I had been using for the last couple years. So I slide out my SIM card from the 6190 and slide it into the 8890, turned it on and, voila, business as usual. Until I...

Compact, Feature Filled Phone

by alexokeh , Jul 29 '00
Pros: Voice dialing, Predictive text input, Small size, Ease of use.
Cons: Somewhat flimsy. No WAP
I bought my 8890 in late July 2000 at the Walnut Creek, CA Pacific Bell Wireless store. I wanted a new phone as my previous StarTAC 7000g was beginning to die and I was never really that satisfied with that phone from the beginning. I paid $499 for the...

good on the outside, nothing on the inside.

by snk97 , Jul 11 '01
Pros: Sleek and Small
Cons: Fragile and expensive to replace parts
Nokia 8890 is probably the talk of the town right now. every cell phones owners are probably looking for a NOKIA 8890 at cheaper price. I have to admit that the phone looks real GOOD! in fact, the best ever done by NOKIA so far (in terms of exterior...

Love Nokia 8890

by mycarpio , May 01 '00
Pros: Small, sleek and simply cool
Cons: costly little bugger

I simply love this phone!! The first time I seen this phone was when I was in Hong Kong. They were selling it for about $500. Boy was I tempted to buy it and use it in the US. However, the voltage was not US standard so I did not buy it.

Perfect? Very nearly

by tom1646 , Dec 15 '00
Pros: Need i say more
Cons: That flip!
Incredible, this phone is absolutely brilliant; tiny, robust not to mention sexy but then if you're paying out about £300 then you expect something special.

This phone is absolutely brilliant; it has vibration alert, infrared, voice dialling...

How to fix a Nokia 8890!

by smokey8890 , Jan 02 '02
Pros: The best looking phone out there.
Cons: PRICE! Need to take real good care of it
This is the phone to get if you love to show off. In my opinion this beats the Motorola v60. I went to the nokia 8890 because I broke too many of my phone. I needed a phone that didn't need any aftermarket product to improve the looks. I your the...

Pros: Superior Performance, Incredibly Small, Classy Styling, Feature Packed
Cons: Pricey, Phone gets warm quick, Buttons are very small, Defective Display
This is the best Wireless Phone I have ever had.

If a phone does not deliver performance, it does not matter how small it is, or how many "bells and whistles" it has. This phone delivers it all. Superior Performance, Incredibly Small and...

Pros: white backlit, activated slide, voice tag
Cons: $$$ Price

by pwhite8314 , Sep 18 '01
Pros: Smart, easy to use, the ultimate 'lifestyle' phone
Cons: No car kit, fragile
Having worn out my 8810, I've now owned my 8890 for a year, and here's my thoughts:

So-So

by ishinomoritdk , Dec 03 '02
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....
