| SWB13's Full Review: Nokia 8260 Cell Phone |
I just bought my 8260 a week ago. I wasn't too sure about the phone though. Especially with the internal antennae. Heard some things about the 8860 having signal problems. Went to a Nokia seminar that was displaying the 8260 about a month ago. Nokia reps had advised me of the same thing and that they had redesigned the internal antennae. With that on mind I went ahead and purchased the phone. My previous phone was a nokia 6160. Overall I didn't have any problems with the phone. I just wanted something new. I had the other phone for about a year and three quarters. The ultimate test would be the signal reception on the phone. When I activated phone the signal started off perfect. I new I was in a good area because my 6160 was great in the same area previously. The place the test would show all is at my home location. I live in an intermittent low signal area. I brought the phone home and watched the signal reception vary from 1 to 2 bars of signal with an occasional 3 bars. That was a good indication on the phone. But I also know that 1 bar on one phone might not be the same on another. So I decided to put the phone in Field Test Mode and check the signal in actual numbers. I also did this with the Nokia 6160. They seemed to have even match. So far I love the phone. We will see if anything changes after a few months of use.
