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...

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...

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...

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...

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. ...

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...

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
I went from using Motorola all my life to buying my first Nokia 8890. I bought a new phone because my 'V' was letting me down on reception. I have to say I am amazed by all these digital features, picture & text messaging, voice activation, caller...

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:
In general it's an excellent phone. As will all Nokia's I've ever used, the software is intuitive and very easy to use. Anyone that's owned a Nokia before...

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....
