Ringtones are very hightec, very easy to use (being Nokia), the build quality is superb, the sliding front clicks in just mint, oh yeah and its made of Titanium and dont scratch, video quality is good and the pictures are good, not the best but I dont think people buying this phone buy it for the tones etc.....pure good looks,

Well I want the looks but I also want the quality of pics, so maybe it aint the right one to go for

Its cheapest is 199.99 on contract, or Ł400 odd on pay as you go

But reckon I can get it free

I reckon you cant Kim, limited stock for next few months cause Nokia wanted it to be an exclusive phone.

Ł700 on pay as you go , and I paid Ł200 on contract.

and you had to have 6mths contract history and bills of over Ł80.



It does look fookin mint though.


Bloke in Carphone Warehouse said that a Newcastle player came in said he had cancelled his contract with Phones 4 U and wanted an 8800 with C`Phone w house,

Bloke said no and he chucked a pure mental in the shop!! "Do you know who I am"

All you need hun is a simple Nokia 6310i, no camera's no fancy ringtone, just a simple ring ring & a bit of vibration when there's a txt.

Not that i ever answer my phone

I want an 8800 but apparently they work so I can't use "shitty phone" as an excuse when I don't answer/return calls

Camera phone my arse which is about all I ever use it for

8800 is a 6230i with a stainless steel sliding case and a lower quality camera, and it cost twice as much.

But - the slide is ball bearing based (really weighty), the screen is made from watch-front glass (non scratch) . everyone who sees it wants it, and it's made fom the same metal as a delorean DMC 12

i think mine's fantastic. other sheep buy a sony ericsson k750i, which looks plastic in comparison... YOUR CHOICE

Some new ones due out.

Oh Stu has a 6680.

The N series are pretty much a restyled 6680 with better camera, but the flagship N series does better video too and has a hard disk installed.

The 6680 allready has Slide N Shoot (instant camera & video) 3G, WLAN, stereo output, Blyetooth, life blog, N sensor, blah blah blah....

I seriously doubt anyone will be getting one of these N series phones without handing over a good few hundred quid.... so beware Kim.
