Nokia 8600 Luna - user opinions and reviews

Nokia

just got this phone yesterday, and got to say it is a really nice handset, with a light showing off the numbers like a little heartbeating is differnt...the memory is not an issue for me! they only downside for me is that it is a lil heavier than my previous phones

Ihave just bought one and yes it is worth every Penny, very stilish, i recommend any one who likes style to have one as the down fall of this handset is with a 128mb memory and no memory card, but other than that the phone is better than the serricco, Nokia should get another 1 out like this but with memory card function 5 star from

REVIEW: I just spent about 10 minutes playing with a working 8600 in Carphone Warehouse, UK. 1) Very well made and heavy. 2) Quite small when closed and very very ladylike. 3) Visually attractive GUI and OK screen. 4) Sim card slot is quite clever and better thought out than previous phones from other manufacturers and Nokia. Now the bad news: 5) The raised notch used to open the phone is far too close to the top of the DPAD and my hunky manly finger kept hitting it. This was not something I would get used to. 6) The menus lack any innovation or intelligence unlike SE or Samsung. You cannot simply hit a number to short cut (for example, press 4 to activate the radio). And there are various other usability flaws in the menus that show complete lack of imagination of common sense by Nokia. 7) To activate the camera, annoyingly, you have to open a folder and select the Camera option, there is no dedicated camera button. And then you have to turn the phone through 90 degrees like an SE, which I don't like. I prefer the Samsung way of just sliding and shooting. Nice and quick. SUMMARY: This is 100% a ladies phone or for the slightly smaller fashionable male with small fingers. It is not practical or sensible. It is purely sensual. I would choose the LG Prada, forthcoming 6500 Slide, an E series, one of the new SEs, a Samsung U600 or the iPhone of the 8600 anyday. All of those are far quicker to operate. Damn you Nokia! And why no memory expansion either?

The 8-series was allways about style and style only. Please do not expect from 8600 to be a S60 smartphone with 5MP camera, 1Gb of memory, etc.
If you want a smartphone, get a smartphone and if you want style, join the 8-series.
Personally, I own E60 for performance and 8910i for style. I am thinking about selling them both and buy this one, because I believe that it has everything I need. I don't need a 512MB of memory to store 5 MP3 ringtones. And to all of you, who think, that 2MP camera isn't enough: Phone-cameras will never be capable of doing sharp pictures, not even N95's 5MP. Get a Canon Ixus and compare the photo quality with N95. Surprised?

wrong!! the looks remains 2 years,the techical specifications go down after 6 months. look at 8850 and 8910i black. i still love them,i don't care their technical capabilities,i have n95 for this. "8"-series are for going to club,rendez-vous,opera,theatre. is for showing style,a thing that most pof you don't have at all.have you ever dress a black suite with real elegant shoes at a fine event?? you can't take a n95 then...

To VODACLONE:

I have to totally agree with you! I can't understand why people would spend so much money on something so plain just because it looks pretty! The look will only last for max 4 mnths and then it's outdated anyway!

This phone is absolutely GORJUS. I just got it 2 days ago and I can’t stop looking at it. You can’t compare it to any other phone it’s in a league of its own....

Not bad, but the design is NOT as clean nor as classy as the 8800!

Looks nice and all, but I am a bit dissapointed about its performance capabilities.

Considering the fact that this is supposed to be a high end Nokia phone, I would assume that this phone would have a 3+ megapixel camera at the least. However, since I have always been an avid believer that phones do not need high resolution cameras I won't count it against Nokia.

The lack of a microSD slot however is quite unexcusable considering the fact that the 8600 only has 128 MBs internal M. I think it was bob that mentioned the idea of an exterior harddrive. I personally do not enjoy carrying more things than necessary, so I would never go for the idea. The thought of carrying extra equipment all for the sake of my phone is a vey big turnoff for me; cell phones are supposed to be a convience, but when you have to carry more stuff because of it, it is no longer a convience. MicroSD, in my opinion, is definitely one of the better solutions currently available to expanding your phones memory.

Other than they way it looks (and it does look very nice mind you), I do not see how Nokia intended to have the 8600 compete against other companies high end handies.
