Summary: Great phone but does take some getting used to
Comment: I've had this phone for about a week now and have had a chance to try out all the features except for the Bluetooth headset feature (since I don't own a Bluetooth headset). I must say that I really like this phone, but it does have some facets that take some getting used to. Some of the highlights of my experience so far are...
Look and Feel:
The look and feel of the camera are absolutely top-notch. The phone, as others have noted, has a very good weight to it. The phone isn't heavy, but it's definitely there and it feels substantive. It is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but not any more than other shiny accessories like my PSP and black iPod. A couple of wipes with the included pouch takes care of all the fingerprints (the pouch is made out of this synthetic suede-like material which drags across the phone with a bit of resistance and wipes away all the fingerprints very easily).
The charger dock is tre cool as well. The base of the dock has this "ground effects" blue LED that cycles in and out of lumination when plugged in. Very soothing, very cool.
Techy stuff:
Voice quality of the phone is very good. I can hear callers clearly and they me. Not much else to be said there.
The phone comes with a suite of software which enables you to synchronize contacts (only using the phone's memory, not SIM card memory), upload music and wallpapers, and make backups of the content on the phone. All this can be done via Bluetooth, so if your computer has Bluetooth capability, you don't need to buy any additional cables or kits. This is my first phone that I could update via PC, and I have to say, I will never go back to updating things within the phone again.
I do not have a data plan with this phone (that's what my Blackberry is for) so I didn't check out the web browser at all.
Cons:
The only minor negative I have about this phone is the keypad. As others have noted, the keypad is a bit small, especially the navigation keys. I found that I ended up pressing the 2 key when trying to scroll down quite a few times. This was especially annoying the first two days or so; however, after a week of using and playing with the phone, I've gotten completely used to the size and layouts of the keys. When you first use this phone, I'm pretty sure that you'll be annoyed by the keys, but I'm also sure that you'll get used to it within no time.
All in all, a very nice phone all across the board.

Summary: Best Nokia I have EVER owned
Comment: I previously owned a 3650 (with the round keypad) so I have been very used to typing on a very small keypad. I just love this phone... The major reason that the keys are small is because the phone is small. The keypad and screen are interconnected and slide into the metal body of the phone (which is smaller than other slider phones I have seen like the Samsung). The screen is like a HD TV producing something like 275,000 colors. I have a Bluetooth connection through my laptop and after installing the Nokia CD ROM onto my computer and linking the two together (which was very easy) I sent one of my favorite photos to the phone, setting it as my wallpaper which is gorgeous. The software lets you send music and backup phone numbers and data from your phone to computer and visa versa. The call quality is exceptional, and the WAP internet is very fast. The 8801 also has some type of 3D engine built into the OS, which helps to produce amazing imaging. Battery life is somewhat less than I am used to, however, after letting the battery drain dead and then recharging for 24 hrs. (using the backup provided rotationally) I have actually been getting 3 hrs of talk time as suggested. One last thing that I love about the phone aside from that fact that it looks amazing and the OS is very easy to navigate (as are all Nokia's) is that the phones SAR's rating for tissue radiation from a cellular device is one of the lowest of any phone at .45 which is personally important to me (the federal limit is a little under 2). I hope this helps any potential buyers make a decision, because I am very happy with mine!

Summary: The Benz of Cell Phones
Comment: This phone is worth every penny. It is like a new upgraded version of the 8890. The phone is the same functions as the 6230 and the camera and video is great. The only thing i have not figured out is the Memory card. I guess this phone does not have a slot for memory cards. That is the only thuing i would change.

Summary: Fantastic Phone
Comment: Don't listen to the bad reviews, it sounds like some of them don't even own one. I have had mine for 2.5 years now and it still works perfectly. Can you say that with your typical $99 phone? Most of those pieces of junk are broken in a six months.
The good: it looks great, feels solid, is obviously dead reliable (including with worldwide travel), and has so many features, no one could possibly use them all. And if you care, you'll get positive comments from anyone who sees it, but that is no reason to buy it in my opinion!
The bad: yes, the keys are small. But am an average size guy and you will get used to it and be texting super fast in no time. It is certainly no more difficult to text with than an iPhone. And the camera is junk, no question (0.5 MP). But the new Nokia 8800 arte has a 3.2 MP camera.
Overall, I am darn happy with it and I have more than 400 hours of talk time on it.
