well.. I've had 3 standard 8800 as well as a gold one and in London all the same shops that heavily promoted the prada now have 8600 adverts in their windows so I went for a look and try today and I'm sorry to say that I feel that I have learned my lesson with the 8800's and I couldn't wait for the salesman to take the phone back out of my hands...
btw, I've also had the (fake - not limited edition) d&g v3i and I think that looks better that the gold 8800, so as always beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

the real D and G V3i was limited to 1000 pieces... was also based on a normal V3i , Ie had black insides, whereas the non limited edition D and G v3i has silver insides...

if you look into the materials that are used to make a 8800, eg a sapphire glass coated screen etc etc which justifies its price.
have you seen how much bang and olufsen speakers cost? more than 3000$ for a decent set and i can get far better sounding ones for half the price, same's the case with 8800. Its the B & O of mobile phones. |

I got the 8800 when it came out and still got it to this day, don't use it that much now because of the lack of functions but its still nice to have when i don't need my N95. |

Second try... And I'm far to be filthy rich!
How is the screen? Is it scratch resistant as it was on the 8800? And how about the glass they used as a slide? Is it like drop resistant? Would be nice, cause I'm thinking to get one for my girl and she's droping her phone at least twice a day... Terrible!
thx

Oh dear, somones not a happy bunny! In my humble opinion, people that shout about having money tend to be the ones who don't. There is a big difference between having money, and having someone elses, i.e. Mr VIsa or Mrs Mastercard!
Anyways, I buy lots of mobiles, along with lots of tech, because that's my thing, i'm fortunate, I can afford to, but I work hard and long for it, so the way I see it, it's my choice.
Vodajon I connected the 8600 to the NSU, and it recognised it, just said no update, so i'm guessing it should be usable soon. In the menu on the phone, if you go, Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone Updates, you then get options, such as Current Software Details, Download Phone Software, and Install Phone Software. So I'm guessing that S40 is now NSU compatible. I have noticed many improvements to S40, it's far from basic now.
