Accessibility is a very important concept. Access to people and information is a valuable commodity. This resource can lead to power and profit, but to what extent?
Nokia and other cell phone companies extol these virtues of connectivity....
Pros: Sleek design, color-changing covers, light and compact, impressive features, long battery life Cons: Might be too small for you
With seven available colors and sleek design, the Nokia 8290 looks like a toy. There is no antenna sticking out (it is located internally, so you cannot see it), which would get in the way when you pull the phone out of your pocket.
Pros: stylish, strong marketing Cons: missed calls, not sturdy
I recently have been working for an electronics store in the area over my Christmas break from college so I have had the chance to use quite a few products in some depth recently. No, this job has nothing to do with my studies for graduate school;...
Pros: Size, battery life, features. Cons: Easy to lose.
I first saw this phone in the movie Charlie’s Angels and was instantly intrigued with its size and sharp looks. So I decided to upgrade my phone with VoiceStream to the 8290. My fiancé and I both have had this phone for over a year now and actually...
Pros: tiny size, customizable, mimics a PDA, still very "hip" Cons: tiny size, expensive
I've had a few cell phones over the years -- the Motorolla Flip Phone, the original Startac, the Nokia 5180 and now the Nokia 8290. Each new phone seemed like the most wonderful invention in the universe at the time. Within a year, however, I always...
Pros: Small size, customization with faceplates. Cons: Poor reception, placement of IR port.
I've always enjoyed having the latest and greatest in technology, and trying to keep up. But when you have credit card payments, and truck payments and other bills every month sometimes it can be hard to keep up. I do try though.
Pros: a reliable and sturdy phone with many advanced features Cons: more features than I really need
Just before the birth of my son, my husband suggested that I get a mobile phone of my own. I would be leaving my job soon and have to turn in the company provided Erricson phone.
There were so many choices and I was really confused about...
Pros: Small, voice activation features, active infra-red port Cons: does not use standard hands-free
Working for a wireless company has it's advantages like being one of the first people to try out a new phone. When the Nokia 8290 was released I was one of the first in our company to jump at trying the phone out. I had carried the Nokia 5190 and 6190...
Pros: Goes anywhere. Nice battery life, and packed with powerful features. Cons: Small size cuts both ways-- hard to handle and dial.

Pros: Easy to use and hold, great new web features, long lasting battery, great sound quality Cons: A little expensive and no WAP browser
If you are looking for perhaps the lightest and easiest to carry phone, the Nokia 8290 is for you. At only 2.8 ounces, its a far cry from the heavy phones of only a few years ago. Add in the zillions of features and this phone is a sure bet. The...
Pros: great UI, tiny size, nice design, internal antenna, infrared, vibrating alert, 2-way SMS/email Cons: durability, flaky LCD connection, no WAP, can't store email addresses, not a world phone
With the 8290, Nokia's finally done it. This phone's design, form factor, and features define what cell phones have been trying to be for the last ten years. I suppose nothing's perfect, but this phone is damn near; it's small enough to carry anywhere...
Pros: Small, lightweight, internal antenna, voice dialing Cons: not durable, no web browser, cingular has pretty bad coverage, small buttons
I've had my nokia 8290 for about a year now and I must say that I like it. It was great for its time and has been very good to me no matter how many time I dropped it. The coverage by Cingular wireless is nowhere near perfect but it's not the phone's...
