Nokia 8260 Cell Phone

Pros: very light, size makes it easy to stow
Cons: size makes it hard to hit buttons

Let me begin by saying this is my third attempt at owning a cell phone. I like the idea of cell phones as added accessibility, contrary to the fact that I hate the idea of cell phones as a status symbol. Working in an electronics store that sells these...

Pros: Size; features; 2-way messaging
Cons: Keypad size; no gee-whiz features

The new 8260 from Nokia (through AT&T) has proved to be just what I've been looking for in a mobile phone. Yeah, it doesn't have all of the gee-whiz-cool-new-bleeding-edge features that some other phones have, but it's definitely got everything that...

I've had the 8260 just over two weeks and I'm already having problems with the unit. I know the issue is not with my service provider. Basically, when I turn the unit on after being off, it cycles through the normal menu routine but then turns itself...

Pros: games
Cons: buttons

This thing has too many buttons!! It is hard for me to comprehend what is going on. The thing is though that this has games off the heezy fo' geezy. The point is that this has too many questions though that is good too because you have more options to...

Pros: Very light and can fit in my jeans
Cons: no protective key cover

I have recently retired my nokia 6162 and went for the 8290 from Pac Bell. Although the phone is extremely good looking and has useful features the service from Pac Bell was very disappointing. So I went back to AT&T and bought their 8260.

I just actually sold my phone on Ebay, but at first I loved this phone! But after 9 months, the novelty really wore off with me. Here's why:
