Pros: Fits right into the cell phone case built into my purse!
Cons: Gets hot if you talk for too long without earbud (included).
The Bottom Line: This is a great phone! Lightweight and durable, clear and cute. It has many features which makes the whole package too good to turn down.

| hvnlyamy's Full Review: Nokia 8260 Cell Phone |
I got this phone in blue about a two months ago. I got it at first because of the way that it looked. Its small and stylish, won't get in the way of other things in my purse, it can even fit in my pocket if need be. It also was a good choice with the cellular plan that I chose.
Its been a good investment so far. I use the phone a reasonable amount. Most of the numbers I call are long distance, so the plan I got worked out well. But we are talking about the phone here, sorry to sidetrack. I would recommend that if you are going to talk for more than 10 or so minutes, that you use the earbud that comes along with the phone. Its not the best piece of equipment but its better than holding the phone up to your head that long, as it can get a bit hot after a few minutes of talking. Also, if you are doing other things at the time (such as driving or something, its not too easy to hold this phone between your ear and shoulder, which I tend to do A LOT. There are better ear pieces available at an additional price.
The reception has been good. I haven't had any complaints from the person on the other line at all. It also comes with games, which are great while waiting in long lines or while sitting at red lights. (totally kidding! drive safe!!) The calculator function is good too since I am no good at math. Also comes with 2 way messaging. It has an extensive capability to hold numbers in it, has several different settings so you don't have to keep changing every option, and downloadable ring tones! That's been great for me, although the ones that it comes with are catchy too.
If you can find the phone on sale, or with a rebate, all the more reason to buy it. But I would say its a good buy either way.
