Nokia 8860 Cell Phone

Pros: Beautiful and shiny. Small. Soft carrying case for polishing phone. Charging stand.
Cons: Awful battery life and memory. Horrible reception. Scratched easily. Cheap construction.

I got this phone in late 1999 and paid about $500 for it. I saw ads for it and had to have it immediately - I didn't care at all about how it worked, I just needed to have it. That was a bad call. I eventually upgraded to the 8890 which was much much ...

Pros: Looks too Kool!
Cons: Not much functionality, fragile, battery drains too quickly.

I bought the Nokia 8860 about 2 years ago for about $499.99! Well, it got me the attention I deserved. Over time I realized that this phone is not for the serious cell phone user. The phone is plain feature-wise.

The phone is like any other...

Pros: Pretty slick design, small and light weight
Cons: Definitely NOT scratch resistant.

I first saw this phone in a magazine. Popular Science I believe it was. When it came out on the market, I bought one. I was ecstatic about it. It was pretty cool for awhile but then I started regretting buying this phone. Not only is it much heavier than...

Pros: Beautiful, Nice Features, Small
Cons: Poor Reception, Poor Battery Life, Scratching

I was sucked in by the allure. It was THEE phone to have. It fared well in reviews, it looked amazing, and it was supported by my service provider of choice. I wish I would have known I was buying a $500 toy, not a useful piece of equipment. The...

Pros: Style and Design. Affordable. Size and Weight. Features.
Cons: Paint chips. Reception Problems.

Being the CEO of KwinMusic.com, an e-Tailer of High-end Phones and PDAs, I have a pretty busy schedule so I need a phone that WORKS. The Nokia 8860. Nokia's greatest accomplishment since the 5100 series phone. With its small compact size, user...

Pros: Looks, size and clarity.
Cons: Short battery Life, short battery life and short battery life.

First off, let me say that when I first laid my eyes on the Nokia 8860 my jaw dropped. It is an absolutely gorgeous looking phone. At the time I received this phone, I worked for an organization that had Nokia as one of it's sponsors so the phone was...

Pros: Newer model?
Cons: Poor reception. Slip away at any time.

I live Fremont, CA. I just bought 2 phones: Nokia 8860 and Motorola V2397. The 8860 simply cannot make any calls inside my house (or in the backyard) unless you try to repeat 10 times at some special time, all because the reception is nearly 0 all the...

Pros: chrome look, slide functions, weight, internal antenna
Cons: reception, fingerprints

The Nokia 8800 Series is the most top model of Nokia phone available on TDMA technology in US, which is why I chosen this model. The chrome design of this phone is really irresistible (can be used as a mirror if you forgot to bring one). At the time this...

Pros: style and amazingly small size
Cons: everything else especially reception.

Even though I liked my motorola startac time port,I really wanted have nokia 8860 because of its cool design and size. If you are not interested in its mobility at all , go ahead and get it.
I should have listened my wife when I was about to...

Pros: cool look, hidden keypad
Cons: price, fingerprints

I bought the Nokia 8860 about 4 months ago. The price at the stores were outrageous. Anywhere from $500-$700. I was able to find it on the internet for $260. This is one reason I chose this phone. As for looks, I feel it is the sleekest looking...

Pros: Light and compact, Sliding case for easy button access
Cons: Sure to be noticed, so it easily gets annoying

I shouldn't be saying much about this phone, since it got stolen about 3 months after I owned it. But during the period I owned it, I kept on receiving oooh's and aaah's from people all around.

I bought this phone before AT&T Wireless...

Pros: It's beautiful (but perhaps a bit passe now with the advent of the 8260)
Cons: Too few features for what they are asking for.

I originally purchased this phone for the same reason everyone else is captivated by it: the style. There's always something nice about being the first kid (or engineer, as the case may be) on the block to have such trendy toy and this phone definitely...

Pros: Achingly beautiful
Cons: Achingly unreliable

Once again, I had to pay for my uncontrollable impulses to show off and get kisked in the butt in return. I admit it: I had to get this phone just by looks alone, because you have to admit that this Nokia looks as cool as a taser gun from Star Trek.
...

Pros: Coolest phone, so far
Cons: Not the most practical

Every time I whip out my 8860 to take a call, everyone in the room oohs and aahs endlessly. This phone has a great deal of sex appeal. You feel like James Bond getting a secret message from "M" to go save the world (again) every time the...

Pros: very cool looking, decent sound quality and reception, very nice accessory set included with the phone, better built in USA than 8200 series
Cons: lame battery life, when people see it they think you're rich (i guess there's a + and - to that)

As a member of the Internet generation, one thing that I cannot live without is my mobile phone. So you can imagine my dismay to find that my new house was too far from a Pacific Bell tower to get decent reception. Something had to be done, and fast....
