Nokia 8800 Sirocco review: Luxury redefined

Nokia 8800 Sirocco review: Luxury redefined - read the full textSirocco is currently the most expensive Nokia model on the market. It has a sapphire protecting glass and glossy steel panels; among its standard accessories are a leather case, two batteries, a earphone, a Bluetooth handsfree, and a cleaning cloth. Apparently, future owners of Nokia 8800 Sirocco will be happening to rarely run one into another if ever.

 

no longer available with optus or anywhere, i cant seem to find one. they have upgraded to the gay arte fone...

its a beautiful phone, and yes, you dont run to anyone with it. which is real great when youre in it for the fashion statement. but wow, the features on the phone is great too. holding it feels so nice cuz of the weight it doesnt feel like itll break if you drop it once.

well, it s actually all about statement! If u know wot is good go 4 it. it is classic and u ll never go out of fashion. but if wot u r looking 4 is music and loads of it go 4 the Sony Ericssons Not NOKIA i.e s the 810i, 850 and 880. but 4 me the 8800 Nokia is just perfect as well as the new improved 8800 sirocco edition thumbs up 4 Nokia Kp up the gd work.

Had the phone for a while, about 6 mos. For me, its the best phone ever. Batteries charges fast and last for days (if bluetooth is off). Doesn't scratch easily. Easy to clean. Easy downloading and uploading. Cool graphics and design. Has a lot of memory space, no need for memory cards. Worth the money. And the special part, you rarely see people using this phone. Has a lot of cool features, this phone is unmatchable by any other brands.

come on guys / ladies,

do not compare this phone with N73 or something else. this phone is built for statue not for taking photo or listening mp3. if you wanna take picture go for se 790i or n73 , if you wanna listen music then go for se 850i or 810i, but if you wanna use a telephone which shows yr statu then 8800 for u. I am gonna buy it tdy and it really makes me excited. this cost is abt 1000.- usd and I think it deserves. it has 2 batteries, bluetooth hand set, charge set for desk, leather cover and etc... so that means yo do not have any problems with battery life also,

Is'nt the greatist of phones, but it's acceptable...a bit pricy but if I had the money, I would buy it. In terms of looks, looks stylish yet I don't like the slide design. Leaves a bit more to be desired from a nokia phone...I'd rather buy a 3310i. But is a good phone otherwise...:-)

I feel that Sony has a lot more to offer than nokia. nokia is still lagging in terms of technology.It is a good looking phone but thats about it. I can afford it, but will rather spend my money elsewhere.

Things are really going bad.... Previously these glorious series 8 were made from fine materials: aluminium, magnesium, titanium.... And I really liked them. Now, what? Steel!! Well I think this phone's place suits well in the hardware stores along with the nails and hammers....
Seemingly Nokia just wants to save from materials but sell the phone at the same and even higher price as the other 8 series.

I've had the phone for 2 months now. It's a stunning looking phone, a pleasure to hold in your hands. It's got a hefty price tag but you get a lot of things: Phone, 2 batteries, charger for your phone and second battery, BLUETOOTH headset (cool! they don't come with many mobiles out of the box), suede cleaning cloth and a leather poutch, charger, software cd's, charger and a headset with cord.
So in the end it's a bargain.
I got the dark version. I love it.
The packging is great and a real joy to unpack.

The Nokia 8800 is a wonderful phone. To say that it is a waste of money is shortsighted. Its all about priorities, those that can afford the phone most probably already have a phone with a 3.2MP camera and 3G etc. and would probably use the functionality when needed. The 8800 is slick, stylish and in a class on its own.
