Nice looking, highly priced. I got this phone because it looked hot and I saw that P.Diddy had it in one of his film clips. Small problems like the buttons being too small, and the battery life is way too short. Enjoyed it for the duration of the contract but I think its time to move on...

great phone. Had a deam that the N95 comes in the 8800 cover. The world was so perfect...I wish that were possible. I would pay a thousand dollars for such an innovation

For e'one with volume problem, the soln is very easy. Nokia 8800's speaker is on the upper rt corner of the phone,it's not in the middle cause the camera located at the upper lt. Thus if you place it on ur lt ear,the phone has to be backward to get close to rt corner. On the opposite, if u place it on ur rt ear, place in forward. It's goona b OK now.

I have had this phone for a couple of years and I love it - it may not suit everybody, as it does not have a lot of features, but it enables me to do what I need to do FAST and FAILSAFE! There is no waiting for screens and lack of keystroke catch-up that you have with the N series phones. But now my battery life is almost nil. Is there any other phone which operates similarly to this one? Or is a newer version of this one available (which is not gold)?

I've had this phone for a few years now & it's a decent phone. There's better phones for the money, you buy this one mainly for fashion. People turn their heads & say ooh when they see you with this phone. Feature-wise it's lacking, there's no memory card expansion, the camera is pretty weak... but worst of all is the battery life. I have about 4 batteries and have to rotate through them daily because it dies so fast! Also the reception isn't as good as I had hoped. All in all, if you want a fashion phone this is for you. If you want something that does a lot of things look elsewhere.

I'm recommending OEM battery its capacity is 750mAh. I just bought one and it wroks very well with no problem to stand by 48 hours. But i didn't check its duration yet but I think it should not bad. But not worth to buy original from Nokia since too expensive.

For those of you who use the 6x battery, can that battery be recharged using the 5x charger that came with the 8800? Thanks for the clarification.

I use a 6X on my Nokia 8800, it works fine. Go ahead and buy it, no risks taken.
