Pros: small, cute, not as flimsy as it looks
Cons: not made for big fingers, can be pricey
The Bottom Line: I recommend this for people who have small fingers and need something light to carry.

| tochriste's Full Review: Nokia 8260 Cell Phone |
I think this phone is so cool. It is small, nicely designed, and functional. Okay, those of you with large fingers are not going to agree with me. Yes, I admit it, every now and then I will dial a wrong number because the keys are small. There are times when the keys seem to stick. Hey, what do you expect from a miniature phone like this (It measures 4.1 by 1.75 by 0.7 inches and weighs 3.4 ounces)? Does size matter to you? If you want small, there are some trade-offs.
Okay, I will admit another thing, I have another phone, a Nokia 6190 (an excellent phone, by the way, but quite a bit larger than the the 8260). The reason I have the 6190 as well is that I still haven't found out if this works in analog country. I travel quite a bit and sometimes I am in an analog area, so I have the other phone just in case.
On to the features that make me like this phone. Aside from being small, the phone has quality sound, is durable (I dropped it once or twice and it kept on ticking). With an internal antenna, there is nothing protruding, so the phone easily fits in your pocket. It also has some cool features, such as the voice dialing. Yes, you can program the phone to dial a number with your voice. Battery life is excellent: Standby Time: 192 hours,Talk Time: 200 minutes and The phone book stores 250 names and numbers, and the calendar can track up to 50 appointments.
Personally I think this phone was made to use with a headset. It feels better that way. If you use it without the headset, don't worry about the fact that it is on your cheek, people will still hear you. Believe me, I tried it on my mother, and she would tell me if she couldn't hear me.
This is an excellent phone for those on the go who don't want to carry anything with too much weight. A word of warning---watch it, it is small enough to lose!
