Summary: Even for $400 it is too expensive
Comment: It looks good, have too many issues not worth the price point. When it was $900 it was a bad purchase at >$400 still a bad choice. If this phone goes down to $100 I might buy it as a pretty paper weight.

Summary: A royal rip-off
Comment: Stupidly, I spent $900 on this phone the very week it was made available for sale in the U.S., and then I bought a second one as a gift. The phone kept turning itself off automatically, even when loaded with a fully charged battery. So Nokia sent me a replacement phone (number 1), which had some loose schmutz under the screen. So Nokia sent me another replacement phone (number 2), whose keypad backlighting did not illuminate whenever I opened the slide. So Nokia sent me another replacement phone (number 3), which automatically and inexplicably lost its WAP settings every time I had to switch the phone off. So Nokia sent me yet another replacement phone (number 4), which slid open too far on its very first use, exposing the wiring and circuitry and rendering it impossible to use. So Nokia -- God bless them -- sent me one more replacement phone (number 5), which I have been using for just over one week now and which no longer makes a keypad tone whenever I dial the 3, 6, 9, or # keys.

The phone looks and feels sleek, yes. The charging base emanates a pulsating blue light. The ringtones, composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto, are beautiful. But this phone is a colossal waste of money: all style with no substance. The battery lasts a pitifully short length of time before needing to be recharged. The interface is unattractive and confusing, with various phone functions located counterintuitively in menus where you would never think to search. Incoming text and multimedia messages appear not on a plain, easy-to-read white screen, but rather in plain black text on whatever multicolored theme you happen to have selected, often making the content of such messages impossibly hard to read. Instructions in the user's manual are vague and not at all helpful.

This phone is proof that you don't always get what you pay for. No matter what the asking price, it's garbage. And I should know: I've had six of them.

Summary: Flawed Phone
Comment: Sadly this elegant phone is seriously flawed. I should have realised this when the package arrived containing two batteries, a clear warning. The battery time is ridiculosly short and will infuriate anyone who uses the phone for business calls or on the road. Sure, there's a spare battery but you have to carry that with you even on personal time.

Another issue is the susceptibility to humidity. Although I never dropped the phone or spilt water on it, there was a gradual deterioation in the key pad response within 3 months. Eventually critical keys stopped responding altogether. I sent the phone back to Nokia fully expecting a refund or replacement but was informed there was water damage. Living in Florida there is a natural level of humidity but Nokia don't consider this to be relevant. The phone is hyper sensitive and should only be used by people who keep it in the little leather pouch they provide for 99% of the time. Anyone who needs a real phone rather than a pure fashion statement should look elsewhere. Similarily it's sad to see the lack of care Nokia demonstrates for key customers who have spent significant funds on their high end range.

Summary: blond phone
Comment: nokia 8801 is a very attractive phone, however not very functional. the keys are very small which make it very hard to type text messages. the battery life is a joke, it does not last half a day with normal usage.funtionality does not justify the price.
