Nokia 8260 Cell Phone

Pros: Beats those bigger phones
Cons: Can't think of any, I'm pleased

I just wanted to clear some comments up.

I never owned a mobile phone before, but only used a family or friend's phone rarely.

I'm most content with the features of this phone as it offers anything I would ever need and then some....

Pros: SMALL, EXCELLENT SOUNDING
Cons: NOT LOUD ENOUGH RING TONE

I just purchased this phone along with the att service for my area.The phone is very small and lightweight,with excellent sound. It has a internal antenae with it which makes it easier to use. the complaints with this phone are the ringer volumn is so...

Pros: great compact size!
Cons: none so far

Ever since Nokia started making its diminutive model 8260 cellular phone, I've seen a lot of these cell phones around here. Is it due to the small size, or is it a result of the excellent reviews the 8260 has received from critics and trade publications...

Pros: Size, versatility
Cons: Price

With two teenage children and both my wife and I working, I have had several cell phones and cell phone accounts in the past. Our primary phone is a Nokia and when I needed another phone I went to my local AT&T store and saw what was new and...

Pros: Very small (fits in pocket, no antenna), long battery life, very clear, very reliable
Cons: No external data connection

I've read a lot of negative opinions about this phone, and I disagree with almost all of them.

I bought this phone because I had a Ericcson KF788 and was never completely satisfied. The Ericcson was a pretty good phone, but the battery life...

Pros: Small and lightweight, No external antenna, name groupings, vibrating ringer
Cons: Too easy to drop, expensive

I've literally gone through 4 cell phones over the last 2 years. Every time my contract ends, there is a newer, smaller, lighter, cooler looking phone that boasts more features that I'm interested in, so I shop around.

The Nokia 8260 looks...

Pros: Small, light, tons of features, compact
Cons: None

I bought this phone 2 weeks ago from Cellular One and I love it! At first, I was going to go with the Startac because it was small and the price was about half that of the 8260. However, the look of the Startac was somewhat ugly in comparison to Nokia...

Pros: Solid construction
Cons: Light

This little phone is my first real taste of wireless communication, after first having the pay as you go BIG phone. It's great, the best looking piece of electronics that I have found, and extremely functional.
This little guy handles both phone...

Pros: Lightweight, durable, fun, efficient
Cons: Although aftermarket faceplates are available, changing from the original will void your warrenty

As my husband is in wireless sales for AT&T, I have had the opportunity to own and operate various brands and models of cellular phones and, I must say that the Nokia 8260 is (without a doubt) my favorite. I received this particular phone about 6 months...

Pros: small, light, great battery life, and did I mention small? Did I also mention no antenna to poke you?
Cons: slightly small keypad

I, for one, am very satisfied with this phone. Compared to my old 6160 this phone is absolutely tiny, which is exactly what I was going for. Finally, a phone that fits in the pocket of a pair of Jeans comfortably. Which means a lot less of carrying my...

Pros: Battery life, sound quality, user friendly
Cons: no voice dialing, a little small, easy to lose

Background
As a previous Nokia 8860 user, and mobile phone hobbyist, I was eager to try out the simplified 8260 from AT&T wireless.

First impressions
At first glance, the phone appeared cheap and overly plastic. I...

Pros: light, small, long battery life
Cons: case can become scratched- new ones are available (unofficially, not from nokia)

I resisted getting a cell phone for years. The idea of people being able to track me down that easily just bothered me. One must escape sometime. Plus- well, they seemed a little pretentious. And people used them in ways that annoyed me. When some idiot...

Pros: Great Design - Great Controls - Great Reception - Hands-free included
Cons: None

When there are pro and con reviews I always try to digest these and come up with my own take that considers the points raised. The 8260 is obviously a tiny, gorgeous, feature-rich phone. Criticism has been raised about it being too tiny. I would...

Pros: Low SAR, miniscule proportions, stylish, feature-packed
Cons: No faceplates, poorly-designed on-off switch

I fell in love with this phone as soon as I laid my eyes on it (I was in my local Cellular ONE store getting my Ericsson KF 788 repaired). It was small, it was light, it was stylish, and it was feature-packed.
I decided to purchase it and replace my...

Pros: Size, Sound quality, Battery life, Digital reception
Cons: No voice activated dialing, no internet capability

With hundreds of opinions already rendered on this phone, why do I want to add another? Simple. This phone is worthy of praise.

If you're looking for a phone w/all of the bells and whistles (e.g., voice activated dialing, internet...
