Ok, perhaps my views against the Nokia 8800 are not to everyones taste. And by the way, being critical about a device does not make me a communist. I have sold phones for 13 years and i have never seen such a diverse range of phones, so the comment that we are all being forced to use the same grey phones is untrue. All i am trying to get at is that Nokia expect a lot from their loyal customers. For the cost of this model they could of at least put someting TRULY innovative in the phone, but innovation is someting that is not a favourite Nokia trait.

You need to re-read the definition of communism.
The comment regarding 'grey phone's' was referring to having on color of a specific model.
For the cost, they SHOULD put something more, it's a pitty though that there isn't. That I agree with.

Can someone try and find some close up pics of a real sirocco in action?
Mainly a pic of the front thumb rest.
Saw a dummy one today, and wasn't to impressed, hoping thats just the dummy though....
It just seemed like a realy small dent, like someone had dropped the phone, rather then what the pictures show...

I've had the phone for a little less than a week and love it so far. Very customizable... the two buttons accessible when the phone is closed can both be customized, as well as the nav pad.
I have the black version, and it does get fingerprints on it quite easily. Oh well.
The only issue I am having is the volume, it is on 10 and it can still be difficult to hear... anyone else having this problem? |

I dont understand, if you can buy these for £499 from CPW, how come these are going for around 550-700 on ebay.
are you sure you can get this for 499 of cpw. |

@bbasra, because 1 people don't bother to go into the store and ask. and 2 on ebay they ship international, so people in countries where this phone costs more or they don't have it yet, but it at a premium.
