Summary: Speech quality is sometimes not ideal; the loudspeaker gives some slight huskiness in addition to a specially created "white noise". The last one means slight hissing indicating a conversation is held. In its absence an impression your interlocutor disappeared and the conversation is interrupted appears.

Summary: It happens from time to time, we get a gadget to play with and after a week are thoroughly disappointed. Nokia's new 8800 is a point in case, great style, good feel in the hand but a basic and flawed mobile phone. Read the full review

Nokia 8800 review


Summary: : Stylish, silver and sleek -- but if you want a feature-packed phone and/or you're not sheikh-rich, look elsewhere... Read the full review
Verdict: The Nokia 8800 looks stunning, and its sliding mechanism is very impressive. But the 8800 is horribly expensive, and for this kind of money you have a right to expect state of the art inside and out. So it is unfortunate that some of the features are below par -- most notably the camera and the amount of memory
Pros: ; Beautiful to look at; smooth sliding mechanism; small and thin
Cons: ; Heavy; mono earbud; no memory expansion; VGA camera without flash or mirror; no RDS on radio; absurd price tag
