| teamsporttrac's Full Review: Nokia 8260 Cell Phone |
When I first saw the 8260 I knew right away I had to have it. Thanks to a special promotion by a local wireless service provider, I was able to purchase the 8260 for just $99 (along with a hefty service contract). Prior to the 8260, I had a 6120. I have been very pleased with the reception quality and battery life of both Nokia phones.
The 8260 is easy to learn (upon reading the owner's manual). The buttons are a bit small, but I don't have any problems using them (someone with large fingers may). For fun, the phone has a LOT of ringtones and has the ability to 'recieve' new ringtones. Text messaging is a piece-of-cake and has proven to be very handy among my colleagues and I.
The screen on the 8260 has managed to get some pretty deep scratches on even (even with the great care I take in protecting it). There are also some dust particles in between the phone housing and the LCD, which is going to require disassembly to clean out. Along with this, the phone's housing tends to "creak" while you handle it (because of all the plastic).
