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: global access Cons: price, no internet access
The first thing you notice about this phone is how small it is and how light. Weighing in at only 91grams this really is the bambino of the mobile world, but does this mean that it has limited functionality?
Not a bit of it! Nokia claim that...

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

Pros: Looks way too good... Cons: Pricy and over-powered signal strength
I used this phone while I was in Hong Kong this January. Well, it's either you LOVE this phone or you LOVE the Nokia 8860. The difference of course is the color of its cover, but on top of that, this phone (Nokia 8890) has blue back-lit lights,...

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: Size, Looks, IR Modem, Global Roaming, Battery Life, Voice dialing, User Interface Cons: no WAP, no TDMA roaming, expensive
I purchased the Nokia 8890 to replace my Nokia 6190. I loved the Nokia reliability, user interface, and battery life but wanted a smaller phone and, after renting an Ericsson worldphone from Cellhire for use in Bali, Indonesia, and the UK, I wanted to...

Pros: Worldwide GSM,
Ultracompact size,
Attractive brushed-aluminum casing, Infrared modem
Cons: Not Web enabled, Battery tricky to remove, Expensive
The 8890 is the smallest, lightest world phone on the market today. I have previously owned the 8290, the 6190, and the 5190 - however the 8890 wins the style and functionality contest hands down. The battery life is extremely long - talk times last up...

The Nokia 8890 is a statement of quality and strength in itself. As with any top of the line product from an electronics company, this phone has all the bells and whistles, is made of premium materials, and is the most elegantly designed product...

Pros: size, weight Cons: buttons, back cover loose
Nokia 8890 is probably one of the smallest cell phones out there in the market. The pros are the size obviously and the menu which is easy to understand and operate. The cons are the number buttons which are too small for people with a bit big fingers...

Pros: Light weight
Sexy
rare
glows nicely Cons: 6 bills, wow!
Brakes easily
The Nokia 8890 has more bells and whistles than people know what to do with. The light weight metallic phone is the mother ship of the Nokia line. With voice activation, Nokia steps up it's technology. Plus, with the IR built in, the phone can...

Pros: Features, Design, Look, Size, Durable, Antenna, Cost for features. Cons: RECEPTION!
Nokia, the brand I trusted since the first day I started using mobile phone. Nokia 8890, the most expensive Nokia GSM phone sold by PacBell Wireless of San Francisco (by this time now, it should be called Cingular Wireless). The phone is nearly perfect...

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...
