I compare this phone and many other Nokia 8 series like 8810, 8910, 8850 to Mercedes-Benz E-Class W124. There are many new Mercedes , but everyone know that this automoiles was the best last Mercedes. Like this Nokias

I bought this phone second-hand and had been using it for almost six months. Is it normal that the battery only lasts for 12 hours? I already bought a brand new original battery to use as back-up and yet the phone still stays on for 12 hours. Is that normal, or is the phone using up too much power?

im actualy buying my third one this coming week. i think this phone has the best design ever. its the most practical phone ive ever had. i mean sure technology is nice and everything but its only not fraustrating when the manufacturors perfect it. the 8890 is perfection at the peak of its time frame.

This is a classic because I happen to own one, but the NSeries current generation user interface and technology is far far far far superior than any of the vintage Nokia models.

Yep, this, the 8855, 8850 and the 6220 are amazing phones and are flawless.
Nokia are stupid.
The new Nokia software is rubish. N-series is a waste.
It all went down hill after 2005.
Nokia should make archive models, instead of bringing crap phones like the 1100 out!

This is, without a doubt, the most well-designed phone Nokia has ever made. For me- primary, the phone is all about calls and messages, no more, no less. which this phone does just perfect. I don't need all this stuff which modern day phone contains so Nokia 8890 is a perfect option for me. wish they still made this. For me this phone is never too old, it totally rules. the design, the simplicity... everything. I love it

This phone was the most stylish phone when it came out and I think it still is. This phone was one of the first to use the slider type functionality. This phone is so rare to find, I wouldn't doubt to find this selling more than $200.

Probably the best phone I had possessed in my life...I missed this phone...(good old days)...This phone was so attractive by its killer look way back in 2000, I used to meet so much people in clubs and bars and restaurants...by there curiosity (due to that phone blue light maybe!

the difference is that 8890 is 900 and 1900 mhz and 8850 is 900 and 1800 mhz. the 8890 could be used in north america which uses 1900 mhz while the 8850 could be use in areas that use 1800 mhz like europe and/or austraila.
