I really like the 8800, not ready to spend more than 300 for it, yet. lol
On a side note these are made in finland right?
What do u think the lowest price in £ a worker for nokia could get these for? Im only asking because my friend can get a really good deal on it and i want to know if the pirce is realistic. |

@massuer, thanks for posting these, I have to say that they are pretty impressive, the svga camera performs very in daylight conditions

8800 is a really nice looking phone, but it could have better features. |

Yes but thats in comparison to the 1/2MP camera phones that are available these days. The 8800 is a SVGA camera, purely for "fun", and thats what I have allways used it for.
Personally I wont give mine up for anything until the Aston Martin 8800 comes out

well, a better cam, s60 interface, more internal memory could have been added to the phone, an mms slot would be good. |

i'll probably pick up one of these if i ever have the extra money
the simplicity makes it more timeless

yeah, its called the SeaShell. I've promised to take my wife there soon for our "meeting anniversary" as she loves seafood (unfortunately I don't!)
anyway, back to the 8800. I find it strange that with the phone closed, I can press the power button which gives me a menu with "Switch off", various profiles, lock keypad etc but there is no way to scroll down or choose one of those options! There are two soft keys exposed when the phone is closed but neither does anything! I have to open the phone to scoll and select. weird! all I can do is press and hold the power button to turn off.
its also dissapointing that the radio channels and volume cannot be manipulated without actually going into the radio application. The K750/W800 has much better handling for that. Again, they could have utilised the two exposed soft keys to handle some of that!
I have also not found an adaptor that will let me use my Sony MDR-EX81SL headset with the 8800. Unfortunately the 3.5mm to 2.5mm adaptor that I use for my k-jam doesn't work in the Nokia. I had read that the 2.5mm socket was not standard, but I didn't believe it until I tried it. I gather this is the same for other Nokias too!?
but, still, I am liking the feel and handling in its role as secondary phone that I will be hanging onto it a bit longer yet...
