Summary: Great phone, unless....
Comment: You want to call someone. I was prepared to love this phone from the start. Almost everything about it was exactly what I was looking for save one thing, reception. I've owned about ten different Nokia phones over the years and the 8801 was by far the worst when it comes to the cell phone's most basic function. My trusty Nokia 6610 comfortably showed four bars and excellent reception of the Tmobile GSM system. A swap of SIM cards yielded a fluttering one bar on the 8801 at best. If you're considering this phone, make certain you have strong reception in your area. You'll need it.

Summary: Good looks, but... very LOUSY PHONE
Comment:
I was TOTALLY disappointed with this phone, even after being very impressed with the design and after being for years, FORMERLY A LOYAL CUSTOMER to Nokia (very user friendly softwares, durable phones - I had three 6100 in a row).

LESS THAN A MONTH ONLY of use it is already almost completely useless (!!!). And it never fell on the floor, never had a hit or anything like that.

i - The two top buttons seem to be made of metal instead of plastic and they STOPPED WORKING. The problem is that they are essential for several features e.g. reaching the 'names' with 1-touch; erasing letters when typing a message; etc.

ii - other buttons, even the traditional plastic ones in the keyboard are not functioning well. The essential 'enter' button in the middle of the 4-direction 'cursor' is barely working and sometimes doesn't work at all.

As soon as I write this I will:

a - learn how to return this to amazon;
b - go buy a RAZR or any other decent mobile;
c - go tell AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE not to buy this lousy phone.

'Good luck' for those deceived by 'good looks'.

Summary: 2 of these broke on me within a month
Comment: This fone first off when you flip up you have 0 volume control so it's very hard to hear and you wind up breakin the slider action (nice to see the ball berrings fly out). Luckally that happened to the first one I had within 30 days, the second one I got by return lassted slightly longer and now has a dead screen.

Summary: Flashy and nothing else
Comment: I've own the 8801 for a month and it a big deception to find out that my $700 Nokia won't work in Asia or Europe because it does not have the 900 band. I call Nokia to express my concern and they told me that I can buy the 8800 witch will work any where but it is not supported or warranty in US. I finally decided to return it and buy a Motorola Razr v3 even though I've always owned a Nokia till now. I think the 8801 or 8800 is a big flashy joke that has drove me away from the brand.

I would advise nobody to buy this phone unless you need to let your neighbors know that you own a $700 phone. But if I was you neighbor, I know that you are dump enough to pay for a 5 stars hotel room with no bed in it for you to sleep on. I had waited for that phone a while but what a deception.
