Nokia 8800 Sirocco - User Reviews

  • This phone had a gold plated version released officially.

  • I want to buy this this phone simply because its featured in John Wick movie 2. But damn I thought I can get it with less than $30 since is old tech, damn Its around $300+ people still keep it as collection item.

  • Does anyone know if this phone was ever OFFICIALLY released in gold? That would make all the gold versions out there theoretically fake, right?

  • i want to buy it

  • I done that three years ago already. No time to waste

  • i love it so much...

  • i have got this phone but his display damage and i want to resale this phone.

  • How long does the battery actually last, i'm thinking of downgrading from smart phones to the Nokia 8800 classic.

  • i still have this but its not working then to im keeping with me..best phone ever ...............

  • I Love this Phone till date. Best phone but poor battery life. We Miss U Nokia.

  • yes I have got it here in south africa

  • Check this out

  • i seriously need this product? some body pls give me a clue...

  • i loveeeeeeee this phone it was my firts phone and i m still fan of this pleas remake this modle

  • where i can find spare parts for this phone? i need flexible cable for this phone.. asap, [email protected] thx ^^

  • Cam anyone please help me sourcing one of these? If yes please email me @ [email protected]

  • I want it BACK soooooo MUCH! As me, there are hundreds of owners/buyers who want a remake of this jewel! With: -better battery and newer specs, but same shape and materials! This and the Moto RAZR V3... were...dream phones in their time! Made a simple man feel... better, richer and somehow happier... WISH THEY COULD MAKE IT AGAIN! Cheers old Nokia!

  • adorable phone,aren't u thinking of reproduction?it is still my fav

  • yeah, ill do lunch, where and when? xxx

  • plz lunch it again ........with new camera ,WiFi and long battery life...

  • I have been using this phone for a while now.. I was lucky enough to be able to buy this one at GH.. still looks brand new.. its a good phone.. easy to use.. the battery life is better compared to the 1st one.. and one best thing I can say about it, its very seldom or definitely rare to bump or to see another person using.. so its like being unique..

  • Beautiful phone!!Wished that it had been easily available in the markets=(

  • when it come back again?

  • U can buy it from me :)

  • where can i buy this phone?

  • just had this phone and I'm using it right now.. its a great phone.. though they just altered few specifications when it comes to this phone.. because I also did use the original 8800.. the 1st version of 8800 is better when it comes to its design.. the keypad and design itself compared to sirroco.. but sirroco has a better battery life.. and has a better camera.. but if I were to choose I still choose the 1st 8800 only with the battery life of sirroco..

  • For those people wanting this unit or any 8800 unit this unit is not that much function like other BUT if your looking for glamour and something to show LIKE BLING BLING this Baby will never go out of style "that's why its called an executive phone" and to know what is real to not feel the unit 1st 8800 mostly is really heavy than replica even the metal itself seems like thicker than replica not to mention the serial number that is engraved at the battery cover replica "DON'T HAVE THAT" and the clarity of the screen is different as well hope this will help you separating FAKE to Genuine........

  • i too much confused about 8800, I want to buy but should i buy, now i am using Nokia E7, If i buy Nokia 8800? it will right or wrong, dear 8800 user, please suggest me. Regards SAlim

  • very good

  • Could you help me figure out which one an original one is. im really interested. thanks

  • Hate to dissapoint you but the key word is 2007.....things have changed....check the online stores in your country or ebay.....Now saddle up,take your lasso and catch that cow!....

  • hey of all you gyus ill tell you how much costs a sirocco in swiss l have one bought in year 2007 for 1399 CHF this is the real cost of SIROCCO and its a phone for gentlemans not for cowboys B B

  • I don't know why you consider it such an ac complisment the fact that you bought Sirocco......I don't know where you live,but in my country if you know the right people you can buy a sirocco or a 8600 luna in a good condition for 50�,a 8800 arte or sapphire for around 120�......Understand that the 8800 series is not luxiours eny more!....It's not like when it was launched with 1000� a phone!...Things have changed!

  • I just two units of the originals off ebay (from a US seller). This phone is simply THE phone. what most people have is the fake (I have one of those); its nothing like the original!! This is simply the best phone Ive ever owned!! Please get the original and see for yourself - Its THE phone

  • Sirocco is a luxury phone judging by it's looks...but it stopped being one judging by it's price....A sirocco in a good condition in my country is around 50-60�....Since this phone has been discontinued for a long time it's very unlikely that you will find a new one on the on-line stores! They are 99% refurbished!

  • There's not much you can do...the battery doesn't last long on the Sirocco...even an original battery...

  • If U Hav Docomo Sim Thn Just Swith To Other Network.......

  • hey stefan i want your little help I have 8800 sirocco. But its battery timings are very bad.it gets low after every 8 to 10 hours. Can u give a suggestion how to solve this problem.

  • I recommend everyone before buying this phone to know where it is made, most of the Nokia 8800 on the web are FAKE made in China, they work well just for a couple of months , the original 8800 is made in GERMANY, this phone is not cheap at all if you are buying this phone at the range of 200 tp 300 it is probably fake

  • I ve bought sirrocco 8800 used it worked properly for two months then it start showing fault ..it got off when i used slide....... if anyone know remedy plz plz contact me i will be very very thankful.. email: [email protected] plz help me!!! i dont wanna loose it :))

  • it is a awsome mobile

  • this are a very nice pice

  • buy a $40 phone.cut a pauch and put that in it . would be better than this . LoL

  • One of the worst phones ever. Crap battery life, about 50% of them came back with problems and it did pretty much nothing. It was a classic more money then sense purchase. You'd be better off buying a Nokia 1661 or kicking old skool styles with a 510. At least they worked.

  • I don't know if this network is regional or national in your country...Maybe it doesn't cover the region where you live...

  • Is your phone unlocked ?Maybe it has it been used in another network and is blocked in that network...

  • i am unable to get coverage of airtel in nokia 8800. Will u plz help me in this problem.

  • hey, i have the exact same problem,did you figure it out??

  • Well, I bought the 8800 Sirocco Black Arte on March 2007, loved it for 2 years and never had any problems with it, NEVER. But then I was getting bored with it so I bought the Gold Arte in March 2009, had it since then. It is Nov 11 2010 and I've been all around the world, everybody loved it and were very amazed to see a master-piece like this. My Gold Arte is still in Mint Condition. 9.5/10 Overall

  • I got a 8800 sirocco and after a week the earphone won't work!! I've asked around and everyone believes it's the flex and it would cost up to £70 to fix! I'm just gonna stick it on ebay!!

  • adi good phone

  • Hello! You wanted to know how much is 60� in dollars? Around 75$. In my country if you know were to buy tha't how much you you pay for it.

  • how much is 60 and also in US i have problems with signal in some areas but other than that i say it is theniciest phone i ever had

  • Ok,since nowone is posting here but maybe some before buying the phone are reading opinions i will try to share the most important thing i believe are relevant for this phone. First of all it is a really beautiful phone. It is scratch resistent to a point of course. It really is a fingerprint magnet so you should have something to clean it(cotton t-shirt will do) on the black version finger marks are more visible. The screen is pretty small so if you have problemes with your eye sight this might not be the right phone for you. The slide of the phone is powered by some strong strings designer to last. The keypad of the phone is small and thin fingers are an advantage. Dont have eny expectations with the camera or using the net. Still it can open simple web pages but it takes forever. To download a song it takes around 5 minutes. The sound is not that loud but it's very clear. By the way i forgot i full casing in my country without the keypad is 70�. This phone is beautiful and i believe it's worth having one.

  • The 8800 arte appeared after the sirocco. The arte has over the sirocco a couple of advantages. A tad bigger OLED display compared to sirocco 's tft display, the bigger memory of 1GB compared to sirocco's 128mb, the arte has 3G sirocco does not, a better camera( still don't have high expectations from 8800 series camera) . I have sirocco it's a beautiful phone but what they say in the review is true you always have to carry a cleaning clooch with you. I had the opportunity to buy an arte so i was able to compare them. They both are gorgeous phones. I like very much my sirocco but i have to be objective . Go for the arte.

  • hello peeps.... kinda at a cross road... pls advice me... should i get the sirocco or the arte??? i have an option of these two from a nokia shop in my country...

  • use this code *+8380+

  • The phone has that function it's the same thing as dialing*#7780# but it only brings the phone to factory settings. I was talking about a hard reset because i was thinking that you have a bug. So try *#7370#. It should work on nokia. This will delete everything on your phone (songs,contacts and others) and hopelly the bug. Other than that i really don't hnow what is wrong with your phone. Did you bought it from the the black market? There are so many bastards in every country that sell fake chinese copies or damaged originals. By the way have you tried connecting it to nokia pc suite? Try to give it the the hard reset with the*#7370# maybe this will take care of your problem.

  • reset as in inside the phone 'factory reset?' i went to one 2nd hand shop in Singapore..he checked for me says its an export set.but confirm real Nokia stuff. but how to explain the memory wise in the phone?

  • Some chinese copies answer to all the nokia codes but the chinese don't think can duplicate the specific ringtones and themes of sirocco with accuracy. Have you tried to format it? Maybe you have a bug or something in your phone. Maybe doing a reset is the solution. Try that and tell me the results.

  • Have done both of that...all have...even the font changing is limited to colour..yes that legit too.. but really wonder y the memory so little? i can email u the pics of it if u can help..haha Do let me know!

  • You probably dialed*#06# for the imei. Some chinese copies answer to that code. Have you used the*#0000# to disply the software versions? And the fact that it sais made in finland is not an indicator. But i don't want to jump to conclusions. Maybe you installed more aplications(games,music or other things) then you might have thought .

  • really...first i tought its a china product..(those fakes..) so i check the imei etc..where its made..all okay..its made in Finland. but memory is definately not 128mb..pretty low..think combined around 20 odd mb?

  • What made you say that? On my sirocco the memory is 128 mb

  • the internal memory is how much? definately not 128mb!!

  • It has a charger, handsfree and a leather case. Read the review. I am guessing you want to buy it online or from the black market and you don't want to get foolled! Am i right?

  • i want know something about this phone?what have full box?what accesories?pls answer me

  • This phone needs cleaning every minute it really is a fingerprint nighmare still it's beautiful .

  • Looks like nobody is posting here anymore. Got a black sirocco( wished it was white) but no matter. Very solid built , very nice. Knew before what to expect of it. It took 10 minutes to download just one song but the sound is very clear. Not going to keep it enyway going to give it as a present.

  • To all people who might want one of this....luxury phones. In my country a second hand sirocco in a good condition is sold for about 60�. And the same with arte and saphire they cost around 150�. Visit Romania and you can get all the arte saphire oxigen i mean carbon that you want.

  • This phone has Russia language?

  • 2 days at most ... with the bl x5 the bl x6 battery would last longer i am sure about that

  • its battery time is good and last up to 2 days normally talk and its shape is more awesome than any 8800 series

  • Hello! Can some tell me how much does the battery lasts ? Someone who actually has this phone

  • what do you mean by price group?

  • hi guys i was reading what you are writing,i want to say that sirocco gold or 8800 siroco it doesn't cost only 200 dollars.i bought siroco 8800 with new gold housing 600 euros,if you cant buy the new just buy a simple 8800 siroco and replace tha housing,that i do it with arte zaphire,i bought a arte nokia and i replace the housing with new gold housing with 700 euros...

  • i have refubrished by 200 $ in jordan

  • i dont think so,i think they r all replica,because sirocco gold is limited edition and no way you will find original one thats not sold or replica,so look for yourself,i would recommend to watch on sticker underneath battery...writing must be 8800d made in germany RM-165...good luck buying sirocco,you will need it ;)

  • thats fake sirocco gold,original would have black boxing

  • Hi guys, i always changed my phones every 2 months but since i got this, one year and a half, i can't even look at other phones, it is a jewelry wit wich you can make calls for me perfect, i got the light edition, if i am gonna buy me a new phone ... it's gonna be a sirocco dark edition, what else can u buy? that has a design and finishing like this one? yeas of cours if you're a bored guy you buy something with functions and lots of megapixels an anti virus programs :) guys if you respect yourself if style has an important place in your life .. there's no other phone .. nokia 8800 sirocco

  • How's the reception for this phone? Do you still get a signal in the basement or in malls?

  • Agreed!!!

  • I have had this phone since the summer of 2006, have upgraded twice in that time but keep reverting back to the trusty old 8800, its quite simply the best phone I have ever had, fits perfect in any pocket, you wont even know you are carrying it, great on a night out. The device is bullit proof, in four years of heavy use;and being dropped a time or two, it has never let me down. It comes with a desk top charger so the limited talk time has never been an issue. I would recomend this phone to any non tech freak who wants a phone that looks and feels great. It simply will not let you down

  • Nice collection of 8 series are shown here on Youtube:

  • great phone!!!Had a problem with it when it fell in my pool, wouldn't come back on. But While it was working, its worked really fine plus the design is slick.

  • Here is my own model. Comment and ask questions if u need. =)

  • Hi there. Firstly, no ringtones running continuously for 4 days, for what??? Everybody knows that running ringtones will just cut every phone's battery life, volume level and type of songs will decide the life of the phone as well. The phone was never off at all. I am serious. I left my phone on, used it as per normal, sms, call, play with some games, bluetooth. It still gets me going at least 4 days. The BP-6X is the IDEAL BATTERY FOR the phone!!! NOT BP-5X. I am getting a new SIrocco which is on the way. SO happy!!!! Finally something different from an iphone. Everyone is driving a common apple branded car, but suddenly a bentley continental GT appears! Wow!!! If you are here to discredit

  • Hey mate! You have to figure out which format of the ring tones you can use, then on the web fing mp3 converter and then you will be able to convert mp3 format to any that your cell can take

  • very sleek and compact design.. i have this phone accidentaly drop but it seems no damage at all!tnx for the titanium body and its sapphire glass ;)

  • this is a great phone and i love it very much and there is a sexxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyy phone look like dashing............................

  • ive had this same issue with the number pad but with different keys i got told the wires that connect the keys had come loose not sure looking to get mine fixed up

  • i have the sirocco gold edition.. but the 1,4,7 and star keypads are no longer working.. All technicians cant fix it.. what can i do?

  • Nokia 8800 Sirocco is a great phone and it's a phone from Nokia 8 series and many dont know about the Nokia 8 series specialties. My first phone was Nokia 8250 I had that phone for 3 years then I got Nokia 8310 very nice and small phone, I had it more than 3 years and now I am having Nokia 8800 Sirocco for more than two years. In all the Nokia 8 series I have used I never had a single problem in it. This shows how good Nokia 8 series are...

  • its a great phone i like the design and its very easy to use

  • iam also having 8800 it's a nice phone but the battery life is not too good . 8800 is a awesome phone u should buy it........

  • I have this phone, and I love it!!! Its really good

  • Nokia 8800 have many models i really got confused at first, i read this review to select the best for me, check it out

  • I want to comment to all Sirocco hater, i wrote not because i had it, even i want it, 'cause it's expensive thing that i have not yet buy. Let me explain how about precious car made it, it has used a lot of gasoline so do the Sirocco, and feature, same as Sirocco but the desain, make head turn, limited edition, it's special. This is sure not for everyone, does Ferrari, Porche, Lamborgini for Everyone, Toyota, Honda, Fiat of course. So for everyone who don't likes this don't judge and write a negative thinking, if you don't like just stay away, there's another model from nokia for you, i'm sure it's for everyone who want to get an elegance, different like suit from butique. After all, if someone have a lot of money, how to spent their money if not buy something high, and if i become a millionaire, i would buy three of siroccos of course, and make that thing in special. Because that things, show me who i'm, a success people or celebrity or etc etc, so if you want to give a negative comment for this, look at you, who are you, then make a comment. Because it's expensive i do bought sirocco lite, mean 6700 classic and the material like sirocco and i can fell how precious, elegance, classis and high price of sirocco was made from Nokia. And thanks to Nokia wich made 6700 classic so i can fell Sirocco on it......

  • i think for perfomance 8800 is not good enough..because 8800 release for prestige and luxurious.. for the material 5 star!!! i bought the rose gold one..

  • Your battery is causing the problem. Replace the battery with a new one ! I had the same problem...

  • Also planning to get one and work with my e-71.

  • I changed my Sim Card but the problem appear the same way. I don't know what to do... Thanks anyway...

  • Its your sim card, my phone had the same problem until I got a new sim card

  • I have problem with my Nokia 8800 Sirocco. On the screen appears messages "Sim card registration failed", sometimes "Phone Restricted". Can any of you help me, please.... Thanks.

  • This is the best Nokia 8 series phone! I bought it and it works perfectly. And if you want it to talk, organise your meetings, etc, this is your phone!! Really great! You can be sure that, where you go, people will look at your phone and say:" Wow... cool phone..." haha!

  • this handset is hideous

  • Normal use should last about 1or2 days , you could charge your spare battery on the stand while charging your phone.

  • how long does your 8800 sirocco stay on stand`by...mine battery sucks ... it takes half a day ..is that normal or ? its bl-6x..tell me plz

  • what is the battery life of this phone for a normal user?

  • Great phone! I like all Nokia 8 series phones! only with this one i have a small problem: its wry uncomfortable to press buttons, specially central navigation button!!! But i can live with that ;))) 10/10 points!

  • did u leave the phone playing ringtones continuously for 4 days? did u ever turn off the phone during the 4 days? thanks reply to [email protected]

  • Nokia 8800 Sirocco is too expensive for: only 128 MB of internal memory, poor video camera, no card slot,it can easily scratched (producer declares:"scratch-resistant surface") battery life too short...

  • qazu grow up!

  • Nokia is a great brand and a phone like that that slides DOWN to access your buttons is a great style i like it and have been looking for 1 like that since the old nokea 8810 i think or something the black and white one and if this phone had features like the N97 it would be a great hit!! HINT HINT NOKIA!!

  • ya who says tht it is just waste of money it iz fantastic man ...... u use it then writr the comments k

  • All 8800's are very good phones for women, but also some men too. For women when they feel lonely they can insert it in and have plenty of pleasure. For men, well only gay men, when feel lonely they can insert it in and have plenty of pleasure too.

  • e super............

  • este bun tare telefonul asta.il am eu de 2 ani

  • how i check the phone memory in the phone?

  • Is it real? Beautiful!

  • Is this phone as quiet when talking as the regular 8800?

  • I have more than 5 8000 series and they are all bulletprove , i attack people with them when im angry haha

  • The very best from the best. Do not buy this phone if you cant handle attention.

  • phone is crap period has nothing to the table no expandable memory nothing no usb nothing what use is it. someone tell me what good is this phone besides taking calls and in todays world u need a little more than just a phone that takes the occasional call this is a rip off from nokia wow so u can run it over in a car etc who would be that lame to have there phone in that situation thats what an extra 50bucks does its called phone insurance.. hey send me the extra 600 plus for no reason thats what your doing if you buy from nokia

  • Hey there. I believe when you mention "CARBON FIBER" Its the 8800 Carbon Arte? You're in the wrong section my friend. Furthermore, this phone is so nice, i would not want it to take a bullet for me, i would rather take the bullet, than my phone. Using lasers? This is not a diamond you know. Its still metal.

  • hello, i have just got thiss phone from a carboot for a fiver, i have heard that it is bullet proof and made from lazers, like the ones on james bond. is this correct??

  • Nokia 8800 Sirocco Gold Edition is the best designed golden phone.

  • Well, press the square button to the right to increase, to the left to decrease volume during a call. =)

  • I got the Sirocco 24K Gold plated edition,made in Finland and shipped directly from Europe. All i can say is its a beautiful piece of art. This phone makes heads turn and makes you the envy of your clique and even your rivals. Here is my review: BATTERY LIFE: So far i have used it to make 15 calls, 30 texts messages, i missed 4 calls on vibration. Blast the music player loud enough to kill your ears! (Especially the standard "BEE" ringtone provided). It lasted for 4 days before flashing "Low Battery". External: This phone is easy to catch your finger prints dust, dirt, but you can wipe it off easily. One more thing, it scratches easily, because of the "Mirror appearance" So ensure you protect Siroccos well for longer lasting external beauty. Systems: Minimal systems within the phone,but be thankful, there is a camera(2mp,not the very best), A music player, a video player and an organizer and a bluetooth system for transferring of files and earpiece.THE VOICE CLARITY IS VERY CLEAR! Signal Strength is slightly above average, but in tolerance limits.(Fluctuates from time to time as with all cellphones & depending on your network provider) Who might carry these?: Rich people,business men & women,fashionistas and celebrities. This phone as mentioned before does cost. But its not meant for the average crowd, its not meant to bring a smile to everyone. People who love classics, appreciate the sleek, the dynamic "WOW" look and the style will love this phone for its simplicity and its elegance. My take: I love this phone, even though it lacks GPS,3G Video Call, Wi-Fi, GOOD Camera,EPIC LOUD MUSIC PLAYER,FUNNY APPLICATIONS. THis phone will be my companion for a looong time! Because its about appreciating the beauty of this phone and not just that. The basic are covered. Making a call, texting,voice dial. What more do you need. Why do you need high - tech features?: 3G is expensive, GPS sucks battery life, MUSIC PLAYER? (Get an IPOD),GOOD Camera? (Buy a Nikon)LOUD SPEAKER?( Buy a boom box with Bose Speakers. Nobody wants to hear shitty music all over the place or in a meeting. THis phone wins the Y2K SEAL OF APPROVAL of ELEGANCE,UNIQUENESS,STYLE,CLASSY,VINTAGE Appeal and performance for those who enjoy what a cellphone is used for. =) y2kjericho86 8.9/10 (Overall)

  • I loved this phone, Sold it 12 months ago at the end of my contract and still regretting it. There has not been a nicer feeling/looking phone before or since

  • Where can i buy one of these now??

  • It's to expensive...

  • BEWARE of this model. There has recently been an influx of this phone (8800 Sirocco BLACK) to the market. Sellers claim it is NEW or whatever and selling it around 500 to 700 US dollars. I would like to warn those who are alert that HK and CHINA recently produced tons of these. I don't know if those are fakes, but it has been flooding the ASIAN markets recently without warranties or any sort of company acknowledgments. Please beware and buy with caution.

  • i got my sirocco in Nov 2006 and am still using it, this is also the first phone I kept over 2 years. The phone looks as new as it was 2 years before, the leather protective case is damaged.

  • hey people how ya doin' :D what about sirocco's screen, does it get scratched ???Is it truly believed that is scratch-resistant??? greets from balu*;)

  • the most beautiful phone ever!

  • Marvellous phone...beautiful and comfy. The battery makes a little minus on it, but I'm more than satisfied. This is my 1st phone I kept over 2 years.

  • I have sirocco&E71.I use sirocco for daily calling&messaging,bcoz it is very simpe,easy to use n ofcourse,very beautiful.but i use my favourite E71 for serious purpose.i think that they are the best in each class

  • spot on..perfect review fr this phone..

  • T.his is the best looking phone ever.Make the difference not the best "future specifications" but for sure the best looking phone .you have to see it and to hold it to know what i"m talking about.I had the iphone and the sirocco gold and they are the best in their class but also so different.

  • I agree with you. This is a masterpiece, not a phone for the people. I work with mobile phones, I use hi-tech phones everyday, and this one is not that: it's a precious gem, not a phone. It's not build to perform, it's build to impress. And it delivers...

  • This phone has ETERNAL BEAUTY . beauty that is meant to last. MANY full featured phones have com and go but yet, the beauty of an 8800 remains unsurpassed> let go of all the plasticky,chunky,wobbly phones.This phone is SOLID,ROBUST, ELEGANT , and CLASSY. It compares to a Diamond. It's just a rock but Its beauty brings endless happiness to anyone who owns it and shares its radiance. That is all I can say. All Hail the GOLDEN SIROCCO Sirocco means- Sahara Wind

  • i m usin 8800 sirocco since last 2 yrs n m relle satisfied with it.very smart n rich look it has.

  • It's expensive because of its physical parts and not primarily the feature. It's made of expensice materials and is partnered with exclusive artists for its ringtones and enhancements. :)

  • I own the black edition...and it's like having a beautiful and sexy girlfriend but is only average in the brain department ;) What the heck do you need a super smart girlfriend for? important thing is that she can satisfy your basic needs right? ;p and for this phone it serves its purpose, which is to call and text. other features are just bonuses that you would seldomly use.

  • i have a sirocco gold nokia.. and its alright ... not the best but just enough for a phone.

  • why is this phone so damn expensive? its not even 3g r expandable memory--- please tell me people

  • hey people i just got a brand new black sirocco and wanted to ask the sirocco users ..what will happen if i charge it every night about 7-8 hours.. thanks :) respectfuly::: Mani

  • hy i have a sirocco light edition it is not a good phone but i love it it's like u have a pretty girlfriend who is not intelligent :) it looks great! if u have style there are not many real phones too buy but this is the real deal trust be just the best

  • as vrea sa cumpar sau sa dau la schimb un samsung sgh-u600

  • it's a great phone,eventhough the battery life is quit short.. And if some you commentators watch the movie deception and the new transporter 3, this phone appears in both movie.. So stop complaining about the high price etc,etc and enjoy the phone for its basic use, which is making calls and texting..

  • Somehow i find my Moto KRZR K3 prettier than this.....It looks like something made for the new richman...

  • It's a nice looking phone,but somehow the screen is not scratch proof.... and anyone have any idea on how to change covers... thanks

  • not available ne mor as newer models have come out, this is still the best ;)

  • Hi,can somebody pls tel me if this model is still available in the market?in Dubai?Thanx.

  • Does it have a mute button, or do u have to slide-open the phone to mute it? tnx

  • okay

  • by the way, i just got a very rare brand new sirocco with original nokia wrranty and still has protective film on it from my work mate today. he is collecting all nokia 8 series and all in brand new condition even he has 3 items of very rare titanium made nokia 8910i in brand new condition and untouchable. he agree to sell one of his sirocco collection to me after i beg him every day! hahaha.

  • becareful if buying sirocco from ebay since this model has been discontinued. i bought one from ebay last time, its just awful and dodgy item everything is just fake!!! from the handset to the accessories. eventhough some seller claims that theirs are brand new, most of them are just recondition item. especially if the seller is from hongkong, you should be aware. good luck

  • Is there any Nokia 8800 Gold Sirocco ? From eBay, there are even Nokia 8800 Gold Sirocco Versace Edition, Louis Vuitton Edition and Ferrari Edition. Are these editions originally made by Nokia ? Thanx.

  • you don t think that the 8800 is too expensive because it isn t so performent

  • yes it is

  • hey ppl wat do ya thnk ?? is it worth to buy a Sirocco 8800??? Greets :)

  • All nokia phones that have alarm and can play mp3s have that option. Sony ericsson's have that option as well. But do not go for samsung or lg as some of the models only have preset tones.....

  • You should definately try a sony ericsson if thats the best phone you have ever had. Almost any model is better than 8800

  • Yes, v2.0 with A2DP

  • can someone send me different kind of handfree,case and car charger thats compatable with my phone

  • This is one of the best cell phones I ever had. Not many features but the looks is amazing. I have E90 and 8800 Sirroco, all I need now is a Lamborghini :)

  • Andrew it's so expensive coz is stylish phone it isn't a lap top this is a phone for people who understand from style :)

  • Hello this phone dosn't have much space and it's not a multimedia phone. There is no such features. Just like a simple mobile phone. But why this is so expenceive?? :S

  • i have had this phone for 2 years.. This phone isn't a multimedia phone, so i never think about large memory space and great sound, but this phone is very cool, it's nice and elegant.. For me this is one of the best phone from nokia..

  • New User Posts: 1 Message 1 of 3 Viewed 363 times Hello I have nokia 8800 sirocco and he show me that i have in TOTAL 23 mb free. I have deleted every thing. And i have reset ti factory defaults but he stil showing 23 mb free memory. What can i do to solve this problem? Is this a software problem?

  • I have had this phone now for almost 2 years! Whilst the battery life is not great, nor is the memory card, there are 2 batteries and so many other accessories included. However, the phone looks outstanding, has given me no problems and if looked after still looks as good an elegant as new! If it continues to last, is definetly worth the price that was paid for it

  • hey guys, quick question, please help me. i wish to buy a phone and i want it to have mp3 tone for the alarm. how can i find out which phones have it? is there a rule i can follow? like if the phone has mp3 player or mp3 ringing tones, it has to have selectable mp3 tones for the alarm? or do i have to buy the phone to find out :D .thanks

  • your unit needs a software upgrade done

  • for some reason the phone wont allow me to recieve pic messages or send them and every time i try to go on the internet or something it tells me download packet data what does that mean?

  • Ofcourse take the sirocco not the luna

  • can you tell me please what phone should i chose between 8800 sirocco and 8600 luna ???please answer me..

  • super

  • you don't need any cable to connect to computer anymore , use the bluetooth

  • the phone is beautiful, but so expensive! and I really don't understand why. I bought it a very cheap price here in Mexico but I have no cables or way to connect it to my computer. This is not the standard way the "modern" phones are working now. It's just a phone, nothing else without the cable.

  • sexy and cool i love it i own it

  • this phone has to be taken off the market.it gives nokia a bad name.its battery is whack..music player hopeless..low memory...i advise to recall the phone..though its already too late.u'all already took our money.

  • the battery life of this phone really sucks...nokia pls can we all using this phone send it and get our mone back...cos i bought it very expensive price

  • this phone is very classy and sexy . so if u wanna show off infront of anyone u better use the 8800 sirocco.

  • I've had my Sirocco for bout 18months now and i've experienced all the probs that everyone has listed. The battery life is low, theres scratches on my "scratch resistant" screen, my fone turns off randomly, my charger broke, music player is crap, camera is crap, video is even worse. And last week the power on the phone completely went, after switchin on the fone the screen went blank and turns off again, so had to send it off to fix, costin me �45 and don't know when i'll get it back and if it will be working again, apparently it's got something to do with the software. If i'd known all this then i wud have never wasted my money in the first place. I'd say it's more for business use than anythin else, but i felt privlidged to own one Good points: Looks sexy and i once stored 6,000 text msgs in my inbox! (",) Overall, i wouldnt recommend buyin the phone, its overly priced and is all hype. It was hard to get one in the first place n then a couple of months later they release a gold one for nearly a grand!! From now on i'll prob stick to Sony Ericssons

  • its look butiful but baytari work bad

  • I bought this phone when it was first released, and payed a ridiculous amount for it. After 2 months of using it, it stopped working!! (It would 'freeze' then switch itself of after the nokia logo and jingle). I was informed i would need to have it reflashed, apparantly quite a common problem occuring in these phones. I had data which is invaluable to me, stored upon my phone, which i could not afford to lose. I am told if i reflash the phone all of the data shall be deleted! And there is no other way for me to save it, as unlike other phones, the Sirocco does NOT allow for data cable usage. (There is no port of connection, or cable available). The only way to save data is via bluetooth, but as it freezes after the Nokia logo, i am unable to use this function! So i recommend to anyone, do not buy this phone, if you do then do NOT store vital data upon it!! other than that, it does look amazing!

  • my battery life so short...5 mins on the line and its already low bat. and i only got it for 3 day. is that normal?

  • passcode is 00000

  • I have used this phone for a year now and still love this phone, never seen one like it! This is one way is a smart business phone and also a classy phone which every one loves and would love having it (10/10 NOKIA)

  • For Lorraine B...this code thing appears when you try to connect to a phone right? If so..the thing is easy..when the phone asks for the code type in your PIN code..and then the other phone will ask for the same code..type your PIN there too..this is how the two devices are paired up and you have it in your Bluetooth devices list. Hope my advice was of help!

  • Can anyone help me with the Bluetooth. it keeps asking me for passcode, is there anyway I can get in to unlock a code that i never created in the first place. Cheers P.S. have tried resetting Factory selection and 12345 code

  • Looks like someone dropped it and dented it on the front

  • Best phone i think iv ever had....it had everything i wanted and i had well over 3000messages, 100's of photos and about 30video clips!would be better with a flash and memory slot! but the cover protects the phone really well and is hard to get scratched and chipped and the accesories you get with the whole are ace...phone dock, leather case, cleaning cloth and a tiny bluetooth head-set!! such a shame my friend dropped it in her pint : (

  • ive had my sirocco now for just over 1 year, already onto my second one! The phone will restart when in a call (10+ mins) randomly and sometimes quite slow on startup. had the 8850 and 8910i before this and love the way the phone is put togather! Even tho i have some scratches on my "scratch free glass".. would highly reccomend to anyone looking for a classy phone that will always be special!

  • Yes, it does have loudspeaker for the person that asked about loudspeaker.

  • Well first hello everybody.I live in Uzbekistan amin Toshkent.And I love nokia 8800 sirocco.I think you should do battaries stronger than the first battaries.And that is my opinion that is all.Thank you very much!

  • I need to know if this phone has a loudspeaker on it because my freind told me it doesnt??? thanks lots

  • Does anyone know where i can get one without having to sell my arm and a couple of legs to get it? I mean for the price of the phone it sure does have a lot of problems! Well of what i've heard! So do you think its worth it?

  • transfer ur pictures using bluetooth dude.get one usb bluetooth.but....back up-ing phone data is a problem

  • this is a really good phone in my opinion but it doesnt hav a usb port & im a fan of taking pix wit my fone. meaning i cant transfr my files to my compter and vice versa.

  • use bluetooth to transfer ur files

  • i have got this phone gold plated and i love it.. no problems at all, only one thing which is, it gets really hot if u talk for long.

  • its still a Masterpiece !

  • to previous post - the problems are when you use ATT. No problems with T-Mobile

  • Lady's and Gentlemen, I purchased this beauty (8800 Sirocco) with the idea that I would have no problems with it working on the North American or United States At&t Network. Wrong! Multimedia problems, it may send a Picture, it may not. The reception is some times less than perfect compared to other phones that I have used. I called Nokia for support and was told it was not a phone offered in the United State's I was on my own if anything failed to work. I love the look and have had numerous complements on it. If you reside in the United states and considering a purchase know it may have it's drawbacks. The simple truth may help one make a good decision. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve or help with my problems please send me a e-mail at [email protected].

  • Regarding the theme for 8800 Srocco, they are the same as for nokia 6230i. and you get some from www.zedge.net , all you need to do is register. cheers and i hope i helped.

  • to Darius: Let me know where you get these themes from (what site) -- i'll try to instull it myself and then tell you if i have same problem. Cheers

  • Hello everybody, sorry for my english :) When i want select my new theme from internet like Lamborghini, Gucci the phone write:NOT enough memory? But there are about 90 MB free space in my phone :( Who can help me? ANd how much space there are in your sirocco? In my is not 128MB, but only 108MB... Thank you for the answers :) P.s. my email is: [email protected]

  • Hello everybody, sorry for my english :) When i want select my new theme from internet like Lamborghini, Gucci the phone write:NOT enough memory? But there are about 90 MB free space in my phone :( Who can help me?

  • good

  • guys, where do you get themes for this phone? I think all of the preloaded themes except black and orang theme are from 90s and shame to use. Do you know where to get themes from Rado, Lamborghini, Gucci or other special editions?.. Those look pretty cool..

  • Hey , if there isnt a usb port then how do you tranfer on the pc then ? thanks lots

  • please i need help to reset my sirocco .0000 not working to restored factory setting and the 1234 or even the 12345 any one can help?

  • i think that itzz betta to use silver one............itzz more attractiv and a gud mobile

  • i am having problems choosing between the 8800 siroccoand the silver one. which one shall i choose ????

  • Well as for me, i'll go for the Arte. I think that's pretty dumb not to consider the features if you're going to compare two phones. How can one possible come up with a decision between the two with considering what each one offers? Arte's display capability is better, at 16m colors, that's where the difference starts.

  • never ever used a phone that is just soooo sooo goood u will love it trust me :D

  • guys Arte or Sirocco??? which LOOKS better i don't care about the features

  • The Nokia 8800 model will never get out of the way! This phone is a part of the Nokia's Marketing Strategy for in without this the Sales Price Hike would be next to impossible! To give you a much detailed info: This particular type of model launched by nokia is classified as a conservative yet so expensive handset... If you would remember, the first time Nokia introduced this model in the market it became a hit (the silver edition)! And for those people seeking for stylish, jaw breaking, elegantly looking models, the company made it just right! This was then noticed by the Nokia, just because individuals would prefer to purchase phones like this that is so expensive without any remarkable features, it was then a perfect time for them (Nokia) to make another business strategy that would lead them to increase in marketing sales & eventual career growth. People tend to settle for this kind of model without firstly considering the features it carries, for them price doesn't matter, it's the fame it gets! So, the 8800 class will never get out of the way for this is the chance for the company to sell their high-end phones, with fully loaded features at a higher price notch! A good example is the Nokia 7650 wayback 4 years ago, the highest price before was around $500-US,, and just because of the 8800 strategy they can now sell their high-end phones fully featured models like N95 at around $800-US or more.. see? The Nokia 8800 is a low cost production, yet so expensive type of phone that paved the way for increase in sales, and definitely brought about the marketing sales growth of the compnay! did you get it? If you need some advice, you may email me at [email protected] Thanks for your time.. Always, Rick / Patz / Ricky

  • h.b.pradhan don't use this mobile

  • It's a masterpiece

  • P. Diddy uses this phone!!!

  • it's a nice and luxury phone.....very exclusive phone........

  • i doubt felix cant afford this 8800 its a great phone, ive had it for just over a year now and wont part with it. my upgrade will be a new one, maybee different colour. jealousy is a wonderfull thing.

  • This & the previous model 8800 are beautiul phones, but I'm having this dilema now, that I need more than just a phone, because all this phone is, is a phone. True, it is stunningly beautiful, but I need more than that; at least I need a decent camera (such as LG Prada, SE K850i, Nokia N73, N82, Samsung G600, G800) and a decent MP3 player which won't run out of battery in 30mins. This phone makes me have 2 phones, and I've had enough with 2 phones! Perhaps it's time to go...

  • nice solid phone

  • This phone is horrible! I saw someone holding it the other day and I was like "Wow, this must be one of those phones you get for free on any contract..." but it seems it's the most expensive phone from Nokia yet! Wtf? What kind of people buy this cr*p?...

  • Did no-one else find that the asking price was a bit steep on this one?

  • i think very well mob and my favourite gsm

  • Problems:low batery and no memory cart

  • I had the same problem with hearing people! When you talk at time you can`t hear the person in other side!

  • I ve been using this phone for the past 7 months. It took me a while to get used to people staring at the phone every time I pull it out. Sapphire glass, stainless steel cover, keep me busy wipping every day. Very good for every day use. Just ordered a new one as a spare phone. Its gona be a while before a better looking phone hits the market...

  • i had this phone foe a year now the only problem i have is after talkin for a lil bit it dies the person i am talkin to cant hear me anymore but i can hear them anyone has this problem its a hot phone otherwize

  • This Phone is amazing i have been using it for like 4 months now and its awsom ... its the best phone that i have ever used ! 1- ot has the look 2- And its amazing !!

  • yet to see a better phone than this one.... Superb

  • i have used 3 of this model & whats common is its battery is very very poor

  • i dont this fone has enough memory.if it had more memory or a card slot i would get it for sure!!!

  • l appreciate my using this phone inspite of fake immitation product that has been over flooded the market ours still have a place. FROM YOUR ADDICTED NOKIA PHONE USER.

  • only one word: Brilliant

  • I must say, it's awful to see 8800 Arte coming out so soon, while I was getting used to this baby. Sirocco is just beauty, though Nokia finally realised luxury also means bigger screen and better interface because honestly, when I laid my hands on 8800 Sirocco for the first time, I was very disappointed, everything but the design, was terrible. 8600 Luna is better, in that at least it has a likeable menu etc. 8800 Arte seems to be the way forward, though I'll keep Sirocco for some more time.

  • i love this fone and am lookin forward to buy one :)

  • This phone is a work of art, hence the large price tag... could nokia make a cheaper version? :) Even the old 8800 is nice, these phones are my favourite.

  • hi just writing to say what a great phone this is ever since i had it all the men love me i work at carphone warehouse brighton shopping centre and i just love it it turns me on big time and ive had more men than ever yeahhhh baby.

  • folks all of u interested to go for the phone ....it is defiantly class redefined .. the battery life is better than 8800 far more better than it.. the ringtone sound is great ... the camera takes prity cool pics ... some minor but imp drawbacks .......... needs attention in care the body is to sensitive for scratches ..... a bit overpriced....... special features can kill anyone on first sight a lovable little thing..... those having 8800 it is time 2 upgrade....... and my personal advise 2 u all is consider 8600 as an option 2 i own all 3 of em ... 8600 is also a killer......... hope now no1 has any questions left about this phone andyes they still have plz post them i will reply as soon as posible.

  • amazing phone, but the volume when talking is very low, even though i have it on full. please reply!

  • yup put the sirocco battery and ur battery prob willl be over... I had 8800 gold with cartier diamonds with same prob

  • Battery is usable on the normal 8800.

  • can anybody tell me about da battery? is it like 8800? coz 8800 battery sucks it doest last more dan 12hours. i am thinkin of puttin sirroco's battery. what do u ppl suggest??

  • i try to decide for a buy this phone,,because it's not smart phone,,no card slot,, so long ,,but had not buy it till now,,please advice :D :D

  • Had this phone for quite a while, it is still holding up well. Slide mechanism hasn't deteriorated at all, still the same solid metal feel every time I slide it. The shiny metal bit doesn't scratch that easily either. The leather protector it comes with is the best phone protector I have ever used. Not one scratch on this baby.

  • yes

  • if you like men and your name is timmy then this blutoos bad boy is for you - quality handset people

  • My dad has the Gold Edition.. and it looks so SLICK man! It's more luxurious than the iPhone, LG Prada, or even Samsung Giorgio Armani!! If you're a pimp, and you like high-rolling cars, then this phone is definitely for you! But I'm happy with my iPhone.. This is my father's phone anyway

  • sirocco is a luxury phone , i am using this phone when i took my luxury car and go to vist my frineds or when i am going to a party its great when you see the looking eyes on you ? this is what made sirocco for.and it is a good phone for calling too.

  • I absolutelty love the Nokia 8800 sirocco model because of the elegant look but I strongly feel that it is way too overpriced since it lacks very important features. I would be more keen to buy it if Nokia were to upgrade the features or software in the phone to match those of the current Technology. This is a timeless piece and strongly believe that it will do better in the market if it was upgraded internally and maintain the physical look.

  • Bling, Bling...! I have had the phone for six months and I love it. People always look at it twice and ask where they can get one. The anti-scratch sapphire glass has saved me a lot of times...wish i could say the same for the metal housing...a few scratches here and there, which come off with a good wipe. Things you need to be mindful of is, low battery life and not loud enough speaker. A lot of times have to put on loud speaker to clearly hear the call in public areas. If you after status and functionality...go for it!

  • i think it is one of the most amazing cells that i've ever seen in my whole life!i've searched alot about a good cell,e.g. N95 also N95 8GB! they have a lot of fasilities , but i think u dont buy a cel for mp3 or tking pcture.so i prefer you, Buy It

  • This is an Elite Phone, made for vip

  • I have had this phone for about six months and I still love it. I can't say that I have ever felt that way about any other phone. And I have had many different phone over the years including the 8910i. I don't know why people complain about the battery, mine last for almost a week with regular calls. I make a point of charging it properly and so I don't have any issues with it.

  • U buy this phone because u love the looks and its exclusivity rather than function , it's a time less master piece so quit complaining about no memory card or picture quality is poor

  • the phone itself is nothin special but jus the fact of having one is something else. ppl look twice at ur phone, im often asked wot type of phone it is and the big question how much! y do u need all these extras in a phone.. the more technology the more to go wrong right. keep it simple and pimp 10/10

  • as a user of the phone i think its killer! i no 3 ppl with this phone, the price is high for one reason "so ur notice if u have it". its seen in one of P Diddy film clips u need the cash or have u dodge ways if u want one of these guys. pimp is the only word and chicks luv it.. keep dreamin haters!!

  • i have the phone its crap i hate the thing its to heavy to hold and the buttons are to small to texts with the battery dies to quickly dont last a day

  • this phone is great.. doesn`t matter the money... i like it..the only bad think of it is that it hasn`t memory card..you`re right with the girls :))

  • how is da pic quality..!!shud i buy it or not

  • What do you think looks better in design? the Nokia 8800 1st edition(silver) or the Sirocco Edition? In my opinion the 8800(silver) 1st edition looks great :)

  • nothing uniqe about it ... and its so expensive..only crazy ppl will buy it

  • This phone is amazing i loved it since it came out in the market.. But i got scared since so many people say bad things about it but i didnt care .. I got it 2 weeks agoo and so far its AMAZING and SO GOOD im in love with it and i dont think that i would Change it because the metal is amazing and the shape is HOT !! and thats my Dream Phone !! ;) so if u really want it then ignor the bad msgs about it And TRUST UR GUTS ;)

  • Hi, i think Nokia 8800 Sirocco is great phone to use. but it so much expensive.

  • hmmm... let me tel..i hav used many nokia phones but this is little difference you see.compare to other phones in this there is no memo card.other than that the phone is cool.if you want to pick some chicks. take this out of your pocket.you wil get the result.

  • my dream!!!

  • if u want to pick up chicks and have the looks this is the phone for all you high rollers no plastic crap all u can say is hot with sapphire screen and battery last longer than any other phone and espically way better than the n95 battery and the slim look not like the chuck shiet(n95)

  • Hi all, been reading all your comments re:Sirocco... You know, Nokia limit the fuctions in purpose on the 8series phones...for one simple reason...if it has a massive spec camera,loads of GB and expandable memory etc etc then it would become 'common' this way Nokia limit the phone to have some of the features most people moan about hence keeping it exclusive...as for being common...it never will be...think about the 8850/8890 or the 8910i?? they were never common...and the 8800 series will also never be common...people just moan too much...if you want a mp3? buy an ipod...better than any phones mp3 capability. The sirocco is specal to hold, it feels nice...yeh the ringtones are not all that....BUT they will only be on a Sirocco - no other phone...these little things make it stand out...for me personally...i loved the original 8800, still have it and sometimes swap from Sirocco....the original 8800 was 1mm thinner which if you hold the two the difference is apparent. As for the battery? well the Sirocco comes with the BP-6X battery which lasts longer than the BP-5X that came with the original 8800 - if you have the original 8800 then get the BP-6X battery - you will see a massive difference! All in all...it's down to personal preference really...forget the cost of it...Nokia 8series phones have always been speacial....not loaded with massive fuctions...just the stuff you really need from a phone...if you like things that a little different,special to hold then get one...if not...well there is plenty out there to choose from...stay happy! :)

  • sirroco is very stylish fone but there is nothing new in this...all old functions like 8800 but price is very high

  • just got my new sirocco. excellent phone and looks very stylist. kicks butt on the plastic crap currently out there in the market which don't even last a year. phone does exactly what i need it to do send and receive calls, texts and pictures. don't understand why people go on about the technology, software music, camera etc etc on phones. simply a phone is a phone want to listen to music get an ipod want to take a picture get a digital camera. for those thinking about getting this phone i would recommend it.

  • please i am writing my opinions for all who imagine that nokia company produces such a mobile with this quality and big price and it is not good ?? sirocco is for those who looking for art in the design, sophistication and not for who can not appreciate the value .helloooo you can by the e65 or the n95 or e90 ,this phone is not for you. with regards

  • i have a sirocco and there is a smell on phone like gunpowder. i think the smell come from the paint of faceplate.

  • The phone is absolute rubbish, im off to the repair shop today cos mine wont even turn on. looks stunning i will give it that, feels great, but the features are awful, the battery life is poor and i cant have a conversation on it without it cutting out. maybe mine is just faulty but rgardless the phone should be kept behind glass like an ornament not used.

  • Looks nice in the box and this is maybe the best place to keep it because as soon as you pick it up you leave unsightly finger prints all over it.Small keys that only ET could cope with and all in all nothing special apart from the build quality.Sell it on e bay to another sucker before the market is flooded with them.

  • I just purchased one of these and after 2 days of usage, realized that there is a burning smell from the phone. Has this happened to anyone else?

  • Only one word - beautifulest

  • But admittedly looks slick even down to the packaging and instruction manual!

  • Most overpriced phone ever made! Decidedly average feature-wise. Should be reserved for people with too much money and no grasp of technology!

  • Very expensive for non special feature mobile phone. We can say that you'll just buy it because of the housing.

  • Where is memory; I need more. This is the worsest set I have ever seen!!!

  • this is truely a masterpiece from nokia. old 8800 was terrible in terms of battery life but nokia has improved with sirocco. this phone looks really very elegent and stylish

  • i took of my operator log and it looks much better just go to wap.mob453.com

  • Great phone.. battery life far better than my old 8800..

  • hey. i just love the sirocco, its a very nice phone and very elegant

  • Attention: Don't buy from e-buy-global.com ! It's strange that they got mobile phones 70% cheaper, e.g. 8600 Luna - $150. It's that odd, that it doesn't even cover production expenses... So, my advice: don't even write to them. They aren't really from Italy! Their host is somewhere in Israel! It might aswell be some kid playing around behind his PC, and getting his money off our backs. When I asked for their company's registration number, business rate, or something like that, the director replied to me they haven't got it for anybody. 'Cause that's something that has to be made public, so anyone may verify it. Thanks! Bye! P.S.: Please tell others, on other forums, too!

  • I just purchased the Sirocco Gold edition, this is a must have if your trying to present yourself. The phone definately is an eye catcher but is also rather expensive. So hopefully will not be as common as the Sirocco!

  • is this what luxury phone means? doesn't have a memeory card slot, how many songs does a 128mb can have? that's not enough.. and it's not beautiful.. just a waste of money.. and the screen is so small..

  • this phone sucks, runs out of batteries in about 2 hours. i charged it 3 times a day when i had it. horrible battery life! other than that, i like the phone

  • I've got the new 8800 Sirocco just recently and have noticed that the when you make or recieve a phone call, the earpiece audio on the handset is very poor. Almost sounds like the device is loose. When the volume is on 1 it sounds crystal clear, but you can't hear anything outside on volume 1, when it moves onto 4-5, the earpiece starts to rattle, and on 10, it is inaudiable. Has anyone else has this problem? Is this a design fault? Or poor craftmanship? I've had the 8800 original and the audio was perfect, just the poor battery life.

  • sirocco is the best phone in the market. luna is a piece of crap. it looks like 3210. im waiting the siroccos real successor

  • does anyone know when the next 8 series will come to market ? i need a replacement for the sirocco, i have one in black, and I must say that I'm getting bored of it. the 8600 luna model is very, i repeat, very ugly. any news about a new model from the 8 series ?

  • This is one of the best mobile phones I have ever had. It is sleek and very sexy and very well made.The 8800 sirocco has all the same basic features as every mobile phone apart from 3G.This phone is not a PDA so dont compear it to a PDA. The nokia 8800 sirocco is a hevy phone. That beacause it is made out of metal not plastic.

  • To everyone, I just wondering if someone can tell me. Thanks

  • To everyone: I can't understand why Nokia 8800 is fortune however nothing fuction in that phone.Who can tell me? I very confuseand I heard someone said before they said the housing was made by aeroplane's iron,is that true?

  • does the sirocco have good volume??? Because when I spoke whit somebody,I dont heard this person very well!!!!!Do you have the same problem???

  • I think the original 8800 is better looking that the sirocco and the luna non have good features so just on looks and style the 8800 black and special edition are nicer. The 8800 doesn�t seam to scratch as badly as the sirocco and are much more user friendly day to day. I had an original 8800 and went to a sirocco and got rid and bought my black 8800 and I have not owned a better phone. Any one that has gone from an 8800 to sirocco and feels the same let us know. The best thing about the sirocco is the bat, head set and leather case that I kept.

  • Can someone tell what does Sirocco means? And by the way, I ordered one for myself, soon soon I'll be living opinion!

  • this phone is for the rich human kind so please stop saying any thing bad about this phone if u cant buy one .

  • one of the best phones nokia has recently launched, extremly elegant and stylish , user friendly, and tough, its like a S500 in its own class.

  • why the sound when I talking whit somebody is so silent,and volume is put on maximum

  • the most fancy phone ever made but for a phone without 3g and poor camera it's too expensive nevertheless is sooooooo beautiful

  • How do you explain to the masses what isn't for the masses. I love it!!

  • i have sirocco and n95(that was before). I decided to keep the sirocco and replaced n95 with e90. i still like this sirocco, in fact i let my n95 exchanged with e90, and definitely no regrets, i ve got the best of both worlds. elegance of sirocco, and functionality of e90.

  • Nate In relation to 'aah the sirocco, the poor mans virtue!', my dad had this and its a piece of crap, he gave it to his assistant and he got himself sirocco! So, no, there not the poor mans virtue, virtue are crap!

  • It looks like someone dropped it and it sustained an extremely large dint. Really, who wants a phone that looks like its been dropped on its noggin.

  • Excuse me for asking but what can this phone do for 1000 Euro? If you ask me...you have to be either rich and stupid or plain stupid to buy this phone when there are tons of other phones 100 times better than this one and 100 times cheaper...

  • sweet and sexy but expensive

  • I use to have one, and i sold it and bought the N95 when it came out, and i miss it, mainly for it's look really. The N95 is brilliant aswell though, if itz one or the other i'd still go with the N95

  • Cute phone when its down, when you slide it up its ugly... and its rather heavy but eather way.. its nice

  • Some people really like putting hate on this phone. I have this phone and it is my favorite. No unnecessary features, easy to use, and does not feel like a cheap plastic phone, which is incredibly rare these days. Yeah, for tech junkies, this phone just won't cut it but for people who are out there to present themselves, this phone is unparalleled for charms. In terms of quality, this phone is definitely going to last years. My 8810 lasted 3 years of use and now just needs a new battery. I am hoping the sirocco will last just as long without any real damage to the slide mechanism and the buttons.

  • Hey Guys! I have had this phone for about 12 months now and i love it! everything about it! i am now due to updgrade and have chosen a tarrif with no phone upgrade because i could never get rid of this phone. Every other phone i have had i have wanted a new one after a few months but this phone is perfect and no other phone comes close.

  • hey guys, Can someone help me to set up Gmail application ? I have set up GPRS connection (T-Mobile's T-Zones, USA), but can't get the Gmail app or any other java based app to access the internet. If you can, please e-mail me at: [email protected] Thanks a lot!

  • Seriously, I really don't know what people see in this phone. Yeah, it maybe the most aesthetically pleasing phone on the market, but it's software is no better than a 6233 or a 6230i for that matter. It's a overpriced piece of junk. A fashion accessory more pointless than those dogs people carry round in their handbags.

  • Has anyone saw the gold version of this coming out? Id rather buy a pair of ill fitting underpants :)

  • just the best nokia one on the market at the moment bu dont think any other fone tha ill be innovated later on can beat the class,quality and price of the Nokia 8800! big ups to all y'all who own the sirocco.

  • Ahh, the sirocco...The poor mans Vertu!

  • very cute

  • aint no doubt sirocco is a goood phone, i had for about 9 months, and wow, its great, but its time to upgrade yourself , trust me people if you get your hands on LUNA u'll love it. i think luna is more like a ''young peoples'' phone get me, when sirocco is for everyone :D

  • Dis fone is bad u know? get me? gals luv it? me play me acon track? smack dat on it. ezzz

  • Hi , for most people , they would not know the differance between the Sirocco and the the Luna , since the first 8800 series lanunch in 2005 , { 8810 was launch in 1998 } , I have became a big fan of them and became the proud owner , from my point of view , i think the sirocco is better than the 1st 8800 , better material , better battery life and i absoultely love the front , but since the Sirocco became too popular and i can easily see everyone having them , the fact is i got very jealous which is because everyone have the same phone , which means it is far too common . 8600 luna is actually a classy twin of the 6280 or the 6300 , but in a very classy cell . the fact i bought the 8 series is because they look great , not too common and not everyone could afford them , people who can afford 8600 luna would probably go for something useful such as N95 . I think the Luna is a cheaper version is because if you go to the high street , the Sirocco is actually charging a higher price than the Luna , everyone knows and is a fact . But since the Sirocco went on the market last November [ im not sure but i bought my sirocco in january ] it was an disappiontment which is because although it is far better than the 8800 , but still have not reach my needs . And when you open the box of the Sirocco , you would know the differance , the Sirocco comes with 2 batteries , a classy charger and in a very luxury package , but the Luna looks cheap compare to the Sirocco , from my point of view , if you buy a phone when their looks , buy the sirocco , but if you want a classy phone with a brain , buy the Luna , it is far better than the Sirocco . But I must warn you , you cant compare the Nokia N series with the 8 series , because they were made for different people with different needs , for me , i got the best of both worlds , the N95 and the 8600 . I really like my luna ,it shines .... like a little star . I think the Sirocco is more like a girls phone because the buttons on the phone is too small , but the Luna had made an improvement , i still miss my Sirocco , although the Luna is like a year newer and times better than the Sirocco , but i still think Sirocco is classier than the Luna , you will know what i mean when you put both phones on your hand . But if you really like the Luna , you have to be quick which is because they will become too popular ....

  • Who says sirocco is useless,overpriced,not cool,ugly it's shure that person doesn't have the money,and never got to hold one and play with it,i just got mine today,superb phone,the only problem is i have to wash my hands 10 times a day :).

  • I guess in a nut shell... if you never had the 8800 and went in for the 8600, then you wouldnt know the difference.. but if you are switching from the 8800 to the 8600, then you will probably miss your 8800... I have gotten my 8800 SE.. its just one fab phone :)

  • Hi Phone lover.. what do u mean by cheaper version.. cost wise or look/class wise Pls help me choose between the two.

  • hi , I have reasonly switch my sirocco to LG Prada , and switch back to Nokia 8600 luna , i think the Luna is a cheaper version of Sirocco , but compare the Sirocco and the Luna , the Luna is far better than the sirocco , although it is actually a cheaper version , and it is not cheap at all ......X

  • The 8800 is metal with a dark coating. It is nice and heavy, much more than the 8910i. Less plastic too. I love it.

  • just wont to know if 8800 matrial is stanles or tatenium please all feed back

  • What about the 8600 Luna.. guys?? You hav ethe 8800 would u switch to the new one?

  • this phone is built to represent simplicity mixed with elegance. matches with people of class taste. really like it...

  • Phat fone blood, just a pimping styler. Get me now

  • Bought it, don't regret it. My battery lasts 4-5 days which is better then other phones i use. If the camera quality is so important, then use a camera. I don't understand why people keep going on about camera features on a phone. �T'S A PHONE, you use it for phone calls. People should also learn how to charge their phones properly. That said, it could do with louder speakers.

  • I do have money to afford a Sirocco, in fact I have enough money to buy as many as I want so thats not an excuse not to like it. The truth is that it looks good, yes, but it's rabish, the features are wack, even with a 2mp cam the screen quality is not that good and the worse is the battery(poor), it's just an awful phone Overall, but if you like to spend money and unnecessarily and then regret it, I say go ahead and buy it!

  • 8800 is sophistcated but useless.. had one tis b4 but changed it already coz it hungs that much..

  • I bought a sirroco 3 days ago,th best cell phone i ever met in my life,great,if u cannot buy it so please do not talk more!

  • This is all about money and style, who care about the function, u 1 a camera go and buy a proper one, and finally if u despites it, that means u cannot afford it.

  • i saw a sirocco gold today online is way overprice and a useless phone

  • Hi everyone I think that the sirocco is only for people that like to look good with expensive things it doesn't really have many outstanding features it only has a 2mp camera, bluetooth and an mp3 player with 128mb built in mem but i still really like the phone

  • i have had the sirocco for 4 months now, already had it replaced once. Has anyone else found a white screen lag, and secruity keypad guard stuffing up? its strange Nokia hasnt relased a firmwire upgrade as of yet.. My leather case has just about lasted, started to peel at the edges.. and batterty life is alrite, i get 3-4 days with bluetooth and daily rate of calls i had the 8850 Gold, 8910 and then the 8910i.. all lovely phones and just as wrapped with the Sirocco.. Its simple and thank god it doesnt have the Sybian software like the N series!!

  • No card slot, no USB, only 2 MP Camera, how can someone say its a good fone. I dont like it

  • i heard about sirocco white. is this true? it really exists ? where can i buy it?

  • Dont get me wrong, its a nice phone, Nokia's make the best phones in the world but i dont know its just not right for me.... I have the D900 right now and im looking to buy a new phone..... The D900 is a really nice phone I dont know there is just something about this phone that doesnt take my breath away... :(

  • My standard has lasted over 4 day on a single charge with calls. People need to learn how to charge their phones properly before complaining about battery life. Hey Umair, if I want to buy a TOY then I would consider the N95, maybe. Be honest dude, you will never use half of those ridiculous features anyway. Learn to read a map, take pictures with a proper camera otherwise the pictures not worth taking anyway. Stop being a gadget geek and join the real world.

  • so i found a non OEM high capacity battery for this nokia 8800/8801, its an 3.7v 1100mAh battery on ebay. Will it work and would if so would you recommend it?

  • i wud never use any of the stupid functions.. a phone is a phone.. use it as a phone.. but this phone makes u do that in style.. its all about class...

  • the 8800 is wicked is it so phat the battery life could be and it could have a card slot but who cares it is still the best phone around, but nokia please make another one with a card slot please i'll be your best friend

  • Yo yo yo. Dis is da schiznit. I luv this fone. Holla to my east end boys. word up crew. lets rokka y'all.

  • I have spent month looking into this phone, weighing up the pros and cons. And now that I have got one, its great. I don't care about the loads of junk features that people talk about and never use, and what an ordeal it is to charge it, all those seconds wasted. The N95 is ugly and not much better then a toy for a 2 year old. The sirocco makes a statement. Look at me and smile!

  • to umair...you can't compare n95 with 8800 ..2 differenet classes ..it's STYLE versus functions...it's ..like you'll compare ferrari with some toyota...yes ferrari is "bad" ..big comsumption and etc .but..who cares??it's all about style and money ..when you will hold this phone in your hand you will see..it's just beautiful :)

  • It is a cool phone.I i have two phones

  • Bad Phone Ugly Phone this Phone makes People fool .Only those people who buy this phone they have no idea of purchasing ,its too expensive if u want to spend money move to nokia n95 great phone in the world.All features in One Mobile Phone

  • Best phone ever made :-D

  • this phone is a piece of crap, when i turn the phone off it takes ages to get back to its normal settings and presents in offline mode!!!!! to rate this phone out of 10 i would say 0.5

  • It is a very nice phone , I just love it, it is good to hold it in hand, it fells nice to slide it, and I thinck it is a best telephone in the world...

  • when first seeing the phone loved it. purchased it for style, not for any high grade software. obviously there is a diffrent market for each particular mobile. it has simple features and is a good phone to have

  • this phone was a waste of time bat no good camera not good and the style is not that impressive get something that is actually usefull and stylish losers i sold mine �200 bargin ??????

  • I have the old 8800, and maybe it's just me... but I like the 8800 better.

  • this phone is not a computer!! is an exercise of STYLE ! it's really well finished..so before u post in here please please at least try to hold this in your hand at least at a dealer ship..if u can't afford one...don't be jealouse cos it's beautiful!! mk...bla bla..it's n95 a bad phone?!? or u have something with nokia?? at the moment n95 is the best phone on the usa and europe market...no sony can compare with it ..and samsung?!? with rubbish like d900 or..??ha ha ha ....the 8800 is all about style and money ....if u don't like it you're to poor to have it ..that's the ideea :)

  • Best advice i can give is there is nothing wrong with your sim card.Just throw your phone and buy a new one!!

  • @adil Yes, it works.

  • do you know if this phone battery will work with a regular 8800?

  • Asthetically pleasing as it may be... lets be real here for a min....at the end of the day it's only a pimped out 3310 in a metal body!! i mean the software is the same...simple & boring, the camera is simply crap...and the buttons are way to small!! Being the biggest selling brand in the world, they don't really capture your imagination do they? like the n95...just a toy!! the camera take to long to shoot a pic!..and the battery life on it is worse than my old girl friend!! To put it in to plain English...The Nokia 8800 Sirocco is Crap. Your better of going for a Samsung, or Sony Erricson...or even a crapy motorola!! Sorry Nokia, your way to over priced for what you offer in terms of technology! www.mkconnectonline.co.uk

  • To be very honest i was totally mad about the sirocco... i love it! its like a precious gem! also it looks so sexy n u hardly see them about..all i can say is that its an exclusive peace! u dnt wanna miss out on it! its worth every penny...x

  • hi please help. just got my 8800 sirocco brand new when insert my T MOBILE sim and try to make call NO NETWORK on displey

  • i think this phone is expensive because of the steel construction

  • Luna has a horrible back casing which is made of rubber. With the price u pay for Luna Sirocco is still a better bet. 1gb for Luna is really no big deal.

  • toooooooooooo expensive ! would anybody in the world plz tell me why??????????

  • the phone is amazing,although there are no many features,still the 8800 sirocco has a design which no other phone can have...i have bought the phone and it's working , the battery life is good with respect to the old 8800...thnk u

  • Nokia 8600 Luna has 1GB memory On Board Sirocco has 128MB

  • Sorry... the 8600 has only 128MB. It's nice but to expensive.

  • The Nokia 8600 Luna has some really nice features including a smoked glass effect slide-down plastic keypad cover, organic user interface, Series 40 OS, 1GB on-board memory, FM radio, 2-megapixel camera, EDGE for faster internet access and Bluetooth. Cheers

  • can any one know if there is any update soft for the sirocco? with regards

  • it is so beautiful & executive set but battery life is so so

  • 8600 is in metal and is exact the same phone like 6300,but in another clothes

  • hey!! tell me,how can nokia delay,or begin the shipment of a model wich is not announced yet on official site. it,s the first time in history when a phone is shipped without an annuncment before. i don't understand,what's happening with this 8600??

  • Nokia 8800 is so beautifull.this is how a phone should be,though its very expensive.

  • get a life...the 8600 is just a plastic 8800

  • the battery life is rubbsih

  • i really love this phone and i will wait for my husband to buy it for me!

  • 8600 lunar is 140 grams the sirocco is 138 grams thought that was to heavy oh 128 meg memory wow lol what a total joke who ever buyes it must be insane waste of money

  • The nokia 8800S is for �599.99 in CPW stores. The black beauty aka Nokia 8600 will be in stores the 25-05-07. 100% Cheers

  • Just cpw price guide and the hanset only price listed is �189.95. Think this is very wrong and will be changed, if not i will be buying one of them.

  • I know this phone is not a high spec phone and people just want it for the looks. But it is a BAD performing phone for such a BASIC handset. When I see people with them I just think "you paid all that money, or hassled your mobile provider for it for free, just to look good for a basic handset, i.e. phone from 3 years ago in chavvy cover" lol

  • does this phone have a loudspeaker?

  • its All About The Beauty .its just Sexyy!!

  • it's not about the features that they have in this phone. it's about the look, the design, materials. if you looking for the mp3, camera quality, a lot of functions, then this phone is not for you. if you want to look good, and showing off your phone, then this is the one. this phone is like a luxury watch, it's the material and design that count not the function. I own this phone for 6 months now, and it still looking great, it dosent get old. you have to own it to love it. not seeing other have and judge about it.

  • Posers phone, crap battery, terrible memory, 1.3mp better than some out there,but its terrible, so many of these have been returned to my store with nothing but complaints, dont buy this...

  • guys..guys..and also girls :) if u think is expensive, and don't have enough memory, camera is to bad..etc..than you're on the WRONG page of gsm arena...this phone is an exercise of style..it express luxury and quality..when i first opened the box of my first 8800 i got speechless..it's just superb!,..no plastic rubbish like n series ...no slow cpu..just an amazing phone with sufficeint memory and good camera....remember is not a portable computer...and yes..some of you'll never afford it !! that's the fun :) when i walk in the coffe house and i look at the tables i see ericssons,motorola's ,even nokia's ..but rarley u can see an 8800 ..that's make it special :).don't be mad coz is beautiful :)

  • Dani Filth CPW, you already got your 8600 dummy? All we got was a cruddy promotional flyer about it.

  • really its nice phone to use in adinner once aweek not to cary it with you all the time and for me ithink the phone need bigger memory

  • nokia has said that the 8600 is a cheap version of a sirocco

  • why it is so expensive...the design makes all? Beside this is a phone like every other...

  • its ok handy spick and span but i dnt like this model-

  • If what you(cpw)guys are saying about the 8860 having 128mb memory, that is a shame as they (Nokia)should have increased it to at least 512mb to compete with the LG Shine or the Prada handset..

  • Yeah the nok 8600 is amazing, we have a dummy phone of it in my cpw store. Apparently it weon't have a ridiculous price tag either \m/

  • The 8600 is official, we just got some info at Carphone here, we have the phone exclusive it has a 2MP camera and 128mb in built memory, it will also be available on O2 contracts for free, no idea on pricing yet.

  • I know this is a strong and great phone and it is why i want it

  • i have gone from the Nokia 8801 in silver to the nokia 8800 gold edition to the Nokia 880o sirocco gold plated edition, the phones are all absolutely beautiful to look at, extremely durable, but the volume is absolutely TOO LOW, i have lost connection during calls plenty of times with all 3 phones (it is not my provider because my new phone has no drop calls) The key pad is very tiny, even for my hands as a woman (big fingers watch out) and the biggest thing to worruy about would have to be the constant agony of making sure you dont, lose, scratch, break or get your phone stolen considering the hefty price tag you have just paid, Nokia has way better phones at affordable prices, i guess 3 times is a charm with me, goodbye to all Nokia 8800's and 8801 for me!

  • Price for the Gold Sirocco at the Carphone Warehouse: Offline price: �949.95 O2 contract: 18 month contract �75 a month 1800 minutes + 500 text phone = �239.99

  • i have recently purchased a 8800 sirocco and i think the phone is great, well designed simple to use, a no nosense phone for the no nonsense user, and great to look at.

  • To 2007-04-06 17:32 43F6: Actually it might have warranty in US. If you're in NY you can step by to the official store on 5th Av, next to LV store and they should be able to ship it to Finland for repairs

  • how to get latest firmaware plz

  • I just love the phone, if you don't mind paying for more, then this phone is for you, I'm enjoying it.

  • its not crap plastic its stainless steel :P best material u can get:p

  • it has gold version:

  • I wish the buttons were made of titanium like the 8910...

  • Hi guys,love this phone,had it for 6 months now,still love it,if you're looking for something different and just sms/make and receive call and don't mind paying a bit then this is the phone for you,there're nothing like it out there/gotta wait for a while before see another 8 series from NK.cheers

  • its all about the Money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • had new sofware installed today new version is v4.10 21.12.06

  • The B&O phone has got no speaker phone! No feature to talk about!!! Even mobile phone sales (I konw them very well cause I'm a regular customer) tell me not to buy it!.....when I mention that B&O phone; they all laugh! The camera is placed at an uncomfortable angle! The worst thing with the B&O is the dailling pad......if you use one hand to hold the phone & dial a phone number, almost every time you will touch the middle big round dial......the end result is that you have to press end & redial the number again (this is very annoying!!!) Conclusion:- 8800 is a million times better!!!

  • ill second that, it's not often you see a 8800 Sirocco. ive just ordered myself one after having four differnt faulty n95's. The n95 is just another one of the 'N series' with too many software problems!

  • They should have made it quad-band.

  • i love the phone i got both colors lol i like to show it off coz its so sexy i also have a nokia n73 for the divices

  • Who ever had this phone knows it is a piece of sh.... Battery-none Screen-small Cost-too much for that junk

  • Win...You obveously didn`t try the B&O phone, yes its made by Samsung, but noting to do with there own phones witch I dont like eather...the technology, graphic, and features are 10 times better than the sirocco,(witch i gave to my wife)... I am a big fan of nokia, to work I use the E65 (best business phone I have tried so far (asside the O2) the B&O phone is attractive and cool...especially with the Louis Vuitton case especially made for it!!! Go see them in a B&O store...

  • The B&O phone is made by Samsung, and as usual, Samsung products are un-reliable & plasticky.....so "no" thank you. The Sirocco is a genuine luxury & reliable phone.....no comparison!!!

  • If you realy want to spend over a $1000 for a phone...I suggest to get the new Bang & Olufsen super phone...the closest competitor of the sirocco...but 10 times better, the phone is a killer, quality and look "sublime"

  • i just purchased one . for once i like taking my phone out and knowing that the person beside me doesnt have one. i had the 8800 and i loved it made a huge mistake when i brought the n95 im not that type of person . i sold the n95 after a week . i brought it the first day it came out and wanted to throw up when i went in a shop and the customer next to me was showing of his to his friends. plus when i sold it i couldn't believe that in a week the price dropped 50 e. my sirocco will stay with me until the next luxury phone comes out. these days you can own a crappy phone and still stand out with shops putting jem stones and other bling to suit your taste. its all about taste . and money . this is the best phone ever.

  • A bit better than the 8801...(witch came with 2 batteries no lasting)...but never reach the impressive good old 8890 (in 2000)in silver aluminium witch was fantastic...and very attractive especially with its blue neon light around the screen,back then I use to start a lot of conversations in bars and clubs...that phone was my best night life friend...the Sirocco is more heavy...feel like quality in your hand...but dont have the attraction the 8890 use to have...I missed the good old days!!!

  • swwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttt

  • One thing I really like on this Sirocco is, it not a common phone.. Not too much people buy this because 1. it is very expensive 2. price never goes down like phones made of plastic 3. does not have so much function so people dont buy it 4. and lastly whoever has it manifests high class taste on mobile phone... I dont mind other funtions because I can have a PDA unit with bigger screen, very good resolutioin, multi functions from bluetooth, to WIFI, to GPS, etc..

  • elegant..... nuthn beating ittt...

  • Got my Samsung D900 today on contract. Got it for free on virgin for �20 a month and 5 months free. They also surprised me when they sent cash-back of �50 the next month. Think I'm going to get an NOKIA N95 from that site as well since i now trust them. Recommended by my mother-in-law lol, she drop her nokia 8800 it in water , got a new one 5 days later from the company and now the old ones fixed she sold it on ebay and made �220 lol. the company DID NOT EVEN block the phone. mobile-star.2u.co.uk

  • Hai guys,my bro recently got this cell, i think its good 4 grownups only,not 4 youngsters like me.I prefer 3250 or nseries 4 youngsters.

  • Hi Miv! I am so thankful you have this opinion, I am thinking almost one week already to have an N95 instead of Sirocco to buy this end of the month. But now, I am decided to get the Nokia Sirocco.. simply elegant.. N95 right now got a lot of negative views.. price will go down rapidly.. popularity degradation for N95 is coming so fast..

  • I kept avoiding this phone in favor of N series with their symbian. Last week I bought N95 and it started to show various "small" problems. That's when I've finished with symbian!!! Now I have this elegant piece (Sirocco) with it's simple system (soft) and all I can say is that I regret I didn't get it sooner.

  • can I use 128MB to store my txt msgs? Coz in most of the NOKIA fones you can only save 150 txt msgs but in Symbians' you can store as many as you want but advise plz if this NOKIA's own OS operated fone can store more then 150 txts... waqar. jani form mirpur azad kashmir.

  • it is a great phone but not for me it is only for those pple who are rich. waqar.

  • thanks for the info on latest sirocco firmware

  • My hubby also got one of these, and it goes well with his sexyness, lol. But I just went to the site Billy L said, and the customized Sirocco looks divine. It's absolutely gorgeous, I have to get one of those for my hubby's birthday

  • To the guy below asking abot FW.Latest

  • i really like this phone. i live in japan and can get the latest phone here in tokyo, but japanese models are all plastic phone..for me this is the best looking and built phone in the ceiling of 1000US dollars price.

  • Com'on people,dont judge the phone that badly,coz u dont like it,cant afford it or it doesnt give u what u want from a phone,always ask yourself what you want and expect from it then make your decision which phone u're going to get and most importantly:your budget.The Sirocco is only for people who really appreciate the quality,workmanship,unique....something which stand out from the rest.The choice is rather simple:if u want Camera or Mp3 phone go to Samsung or SE/if u want Pda go to Imate or O2/...dont expect too much,dont expect everything in 1 phone,coz u'll be disapointed and then it'll be out of your reach.For Aud 1000,I think it's worth every cent of it.Had it 4 months now and tell u the truth,it still feel good anytime I hold it in my hand.

  • friends can anyone knows the latest firmware of nokia sirocco, and where it can be downloaded? my nokia sirocco has a version of 3.51 and im not sure if this the latest..

  • people check this link out it shows the pictures of the Nokia Luna 8600 "the successor of 8800" its got: 1GB built in memory 2mp camera the lott heres the link

  • it would be great if Louis Vuitton collaborates with Nokia to produce an LV version of this unit, no need for gold and diamonds, just a cheaper metals but created with elegance and prestige.

  • I would say this phone is really for people who likes to manifest high class on their phone.. Very beautiful.. a real Louis Vuitton of the phone world.. Nothing beats Nokia Sirocco in its looks, even the LG-PRADA combination will not match this.. Sorry for LG and PRADA but it is the truth..

  • I have the nokia 8800 sirocco, and i must admit it's the sexiest phone around...or was....untill i saw this a customized sirocco. And it's only a grand more. I like.

  • whos seen the GOLD sirocco with 18 carat gold on it...check it out on the homepage of gsmarena..

  • does anyone agree with me that it scratches really easily? and mine keeps turning itself off or freezing since i got it? not looking good nokia! glad i got it cheap.

  • this is really a great phone, ive been using it for about 4 months and i love it. im thinking of changing it but i dunno what to.. maybe a SE

  • To the person who had his phone dropped...you deserved it lol why on earth would you let your lil brother hold a 1,000 dollar phone? lol...

  • Hi all. i heard from my fds that Nokia 8800 is coming out a 3g version. Does any 1 koe , please advise. thk u

  • give me the site that sell it for 200 pounds, i buy 3

  • Great phone, but would have loved if they left some of the old ringtones or maybe added a few more, not enough as standard....

  • the phone is good for people with money well i have money this phone is garbage if its worth alot how come they sell for 200 pounds on e bay brand new lol its made of steel doh penny dropped yet yes steel so now tell me its good looking its that heavy could shot put with it lol only costs nokia 100 pounds per unit so you keep telling yourself its worth it lol 6230i in diff case fact

  • If you want a phone with functionalities, get a Pocket Pc. This is a phone for people with money so... This phone is very good and very good looking

  • the fingerprints do smudge but it doesnt look bad it looks ok know one can notice it!

  • To anybody whos had this for a while - does the fingerprint smudging on the case stop? On the 8800 silver smudges were visible when the phone was new then it stopped. Does this continue to smudge? Would have loved a silver version of this.

  • this fone is pathetic my lil bro droped it and it screen cracked so much for being break proof

  • great phone; looks very good and it's worth the money; the battery life is not a problem because you can carry the other one in your pocket; ellegance is the best word for describing this phone; i'll just sell my p990i and buy this one 'cause smartphones are the most unnecessary phones ever made (thet're big, heavy, and UGLY);

  • this fone sucks my lil bro dropd an broked its scrreen jus from a hieght of about a feet

  • wolf in sheeps clothing people! great looking, but there is a reason why it comes with two batteries. and not all that easy to use as are nokias a major selling point.

  • Hey, i really think that the 8800 is real cool to have,the only problem with it is that it does not have a memory card!!! I have the 8800 in silver, it has great sound but with very little memory!!I dig the 8800 because its not easy to break so i can use it as self defence against a person..I don`t find any problem with the battery because I charge it over night and the battery life is up to a day depending on what you using it for..

  • i would Love to own a Nokia N95 and 8800 Sirocco!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i have the 8801,and it sucks,battery wise, sure it looks good. some people only buy this phone for looks but that's pretty much what you get..it comes with two batteries for a reason right..kinda disappointed with mine though

  • I�ve just found out that a new version of this phone will be released. It�s going to be 8800 Sirocco Gold Edition. It as the same features as the normal Sirocco but it as a gold "bath". Were in Portugal it�s gonna cost �1499. Please comment.

  • people need to get real this phone is awfull ,its not selling thats why its only 250 pounds on e bay brand new sim free and thats why its free now on contract, as for those who say its the look so if i buy a car for 100.000 pounds and it looks good well i would be cheesed off if the engine was a 12 cc engine inside thats what the sirocco is a lada in a sports car body and thats a fact i bought 3 of these sim free when they first came out was lucky to get rid of 2 of them but at a huge loss nobody wanted them it should have had top of range camera top of range batt life this phone people laugh at it my 3rd one will not c the light of day again so you people keep telling yourself its the best your paying 500 pounds plus for a case nokia pay 65 pounds for them lol now who has egg on your face and when you pull it out people are not thinking wow they are thinking you have been ripped off so stop trying to say the price was worth it look it up for your self how much this phone costs to make lol nokia cant get rid thats why they have launched a gold one lol its all fact its a 6230i in a different case thats fact . and like i said its now free on contract lol

  • The Sirocco is an elegant handset marketed at the trendy fashion concious 21-35 age group and has the mainstream spec that your average user requires how ever when you add to that rather mediocer spec some of the best build quality on the planet and styling that looks like its come straight from ferrari you have a hugely sought after exclusive handset. 'A true must have for the 21st century conesour!'

  • I have owned them since 1st 8800 launch. The Sirocco is a significant improvement over 8800 Great looking phone, great feel. Reception is terrible in US because networks do not offer software support for Sirocco. Keep in mind there is nosupport whatsoevre from any network and Nokia does not back warranty for the Sirocco in the US 100% guarantee that you are on your own.

  • all u haters out there! dont hate the phone coz u cant have it, fair enough, its not a music phone or a camera phone, but it's a BUSINESS PHONE, made for people with money!!!if u want a camera phone get a sony ericsson k800i! or nokia N73, if u want a music phone get a walkman sony ericsson! W880i! If u want a smart classy phone, get a NOKIA 8800 SIROCCO!!!!

  • This phone is intended for users who prefer aesthetics value rather than functionalities. Anyway, not all phone users use WIFI, GPS, etc.. Most phones users use only voice, sms and mms. And this phone has basic functions, but when look at it, it outweighs even the latest, most expensive PDA phone.

  • I think this ones a rich boys toy kinda things. I bet a feature rich model will roll out as soon as one buys this. I bought a 8910i and now this ones out. Now if i buy this the next model with good features will be launched. I better switch to regular feature rick phone like I-mat e or O2.

  • Please state why you think its the best??? I hate when people post crap opinions, please state why the phone is the best!

  • just the best phone ever!

  • your right this phone is tripe. my sister bought one ,thought it was rubbish and handed it over to me . it was given back to her 2 days later. sony ericsson w810i all the way.

  • just the best...

  • it looks good in quality

  • After 2 years of dropping the 8800 first ed daily on the floor - yes i treat fones like crap - i finally managed to wreck the micrphone on it. ive got this as a replacement. why? because i have a 1500 minute contract, because i charge it when im in the car so the battery life isnt a huge issue - bat like on the sirocco is considerably better - and its extremely well built. As to features... not to be rude but features are for kids who have time to play and poor people who cant afford separate devices.

  • Im thinkimg of getting it!! whts the mp3 sound like 4 those who have one!!

  • for me i think that it is the best phone in the world

  • 8800 sirocco is a Fashion Phone!

  • I want to get a nokia 8800 sirocco, but not sure what colour black or silver??!! any advice?

  • really heavy phone... :P

  • can i connect this phone to note book by bluetooth??? and how is it's voice?

  • if u wanna get laid get sirocco

  • Good looking phone ---lousy battery consumption.... if you are a heavy phone user this IS NOT the phone for you. you are ALWAYS running out of battery power !!! PS it's not the battery ---- I have tried 4 different batterys to date and NOKIA do not want to know about the defect.

  • go go power sirocco!

  • this isn't a phone for business men, it's a phone for people who think they'll be apreciated for having this...a real business man would say this phone is a waste of money...the phone doesn't offer anything; it's heavy, it has a battery that lasts only 2h and 45min, and in my personal opinion it's ugly; there are phones that are also expensive, but at least they offer something...i preffer those phones; nokia n76 is a very ellegant and beautiful phone and it's also a smartphone; i would rather pay 1000$ on that phone

  • Everything about this ferrari is excellent except the keys are bit smallere.

  • to person who wants to no if it will work in the us,yes it will fine as it is a tri band handset

  • D900 is for show offs..D900 is for ppl who "act hard" 8800 sirocco is for the "Big Bosses" and "Playas"

  • borat says "is niceeeeeee"

  • it has to be the 8800 sir every time 6300 is sh*t

  • The 8800 sir is all about style and elegance, it's the ferarri of the mobile world, it's not a gadget its a work of art.

  • I've loved my Sirocco for all 5 months that I've had it. Classy good looks are great, but what really sold me on the Sirocco is the solid build quality. The keys aren't hard to press if your fingers aren't too big.

  • i love

  • are the keys easy to press?

  • I love this phone , not just because of it's gorgeous looks and amazing build quality but also because of the way it provokes all the jealous kiddies who would secretly love one but can't afford one to slag it off and say its terrible , enjoy your plastic kiddy toy phones whos cameras and mp3 players will be out of date in a few months... and I'll enjoy owning this ... :)

  • hi person who want to compare Sirocco to N73 , I have owned both the N73 and Sirocco and plenty other Nokia's , if u want to buy a smartphone , but a N73 . If you just want to show off and only need very basic stuff on your phone , get the Sirocco

  • yes there is a gold one out in april

  • Is there a golden 8800 Sirocco ?

  • i have a problem the phone works but everynow and again it says sim card rejected or insert sim card ect.it looses signal..then u wait like 10 seconds and it gets back signal and works fine

  • I have already had a black sirocco . But should I get the N95 , I have owned the N80 , N73 and N70 before , I think they were amazing !

  • Got the phone for several months by now...what can I say (having only smartphones before). It's looking amazing, slim, and works nice as a phone. No special functions/capabilities though and is nothing compared to a smartphone. Only luxury phone with basic functions. The connecting cabilities ONLY through bluetooth is also a minus. The speaker is not too loud and I find myself many times looking for a less noisy location in order to actual hear the other party. The functions that are on the phone are a minimum but they all work great without any bugs (so far). The design, feel and look compensates for the lack of functions and I think is just what intended to be: a basic functionality phone with a special design that should look great and impress people arround you. It's not so exclusive now since I saw a lot of people having it

  • i really LOVE D900!!!! i have used this phone for yonks...and its a COOL looking phone, AND COOL TOO ACT HARD WITH! D900 is a SEXY phone!!!!!!!

  • I am thinking of getting this phone. I noticed that its a tri band and was wondering if it would work well in the US?

  • ive got 4 of these. they r amazing

  • dudes...i've been readin'almost all of ya messages about this phone...and finally i've bought one..I can say this:I'm very pleased about it..no other comments 2 put.

  • And what about the battery?Is it same as 8800?

  • The sirocco is the best ever made nokia and i advise nokia funs out there to go for it. you wont regret. i bet u.

  • Hey dude,this 8800 sirocco is the best phone i can see around now.Wat u think.

  • 8800 rulz! those who said nokia isn`t cabable of creating beautiful phones is wrong!

  • no mate. everythings fine. runs smooth and quick.

  • Jizzy, how abt the firmware dude? have u had any problems/bugs so far?

  • i am in love with this phone but don have enough money :(:(:(:(

  • this phone is just like the two legs of the girl the smarter it looks and u want tht legs but u dont get and after tht u says tht there is nothing to do with those two legs.

  • just got this phone. nokia put a lot of time and effort into making the experience awesome. the box is the coolest ever and the blue toothheadset is quality. the phones it self is brill. the reception is awesome. the battery isnt as bad a i expected either, i made a lot of calls and after a day its still full. very nice phone

  • You dont like the phone, that is fine. But dont put down the phone, that is what they did, and by the way they talk, we all know too well that they didnt own the phone.

  • Guys, we have seen lots of things in our life but in the form of simplicity. Rolex always expensive but without extra features, BOSE sound dock for ipod simple without any alarm/time features, but still expensive.

  • hoho~~~ I just bought this phone couple days ago. Now i'm getting to use it pretty good and nice. i love it. Now i have 2 haha. 1 8800 and 1 8800s.

  • I have a 8800 Sirocco edition from about 5 months and i'm very pleased. Well is not so smart but is made of very good materials such as the screen, is very resistant to scratches and the slide is made by nokia very good. It sound is at a very high quality when you make or answer the phone the sound is opening like a THX sound , surround it's very complicated to explain. But the conlusion is that this model from Nokia is made with very lasting materials , and all the money that you pay for it, is whorted. I like this phone. For the smart options at a phone i use a 9300 nokia comunicator and i'm pleased too.Nokia rules :)

  • Not trying to brag but i am very well off. This phone is ok for what it is but highly priced for a mobile phone. I havn't got one because personally i don't like it not because i can't afford one. so to the people who say the reason people don't get one is because they can't afford it you are talking rubbish , maybe they don't want to spend there hard earnt money on a phone. Maybe they have better things to spend there money on and just happy to use a normal phone. Like i always say you don't get rich by giving your money away!

  • Hello Mr.s Phone Shop I have money here and I want a phone that says look at me ain't I special. What features do I want? I just need a phone to call all the friends I don't have. I'm hoping if i have a bling phone people will think I'm an amazing guy and want to be my friend.

  • What does a rolex do! Yes you've got it, it tells the time and nothing else. You buy it for quality, the design, the materials, the status. The 8800 is just the same, you don't buy it for useless features. Great phone, if u want features get a N-series. I'm getting fed up with people going on about specs all the time, this is NOT what the phone is about people. Try and get your brains to understand that! If you think the cost is high, then your too poor to buy this phone anyway

  • if you no anything about phones then you would no that this phones isnt that bad, to fit that technology inside such a small phone is very good

  • the way of how i look at this one is basically like comparing watches, where a Rolex would have no functions that a Seiko would offer, but it's in the class of its own. indeed, for the ones who goes for this phone isn't looking for something too much of a drama, why bother with the quality of the camera when you can have a 8mega pixle canon powershot, why bother with the gps while there are the tomtoms tht gives a more accurate reading. functionwise, why not carry an asus 11.1" LCD~ as good, perhaps better than the N95 that everony is raving on about. for the ones that is willing to pay for the phone, doubt they would care much about the money wise, nor they are one of those who wanna become a "photographer" with the phone~

  • Hey, to all you out there who owns this phone, how about just having it to make phone calls and text messages? do u think it will be good?

  • Had it for about three days and sold it on ebay. Sure has the chasis of a Ferrari but inside is a cheap Renault. Buy it only for the look. This isn't the era of just call and text. Go for Sonyericsson and keep your money in your saving. regards

  • its not overpriced. it is nice. you dont get this phone cos of features you get it cos its looks nice and the size is appealing. yeah the k800i has got better features but its big, ugly and everyone has one. with this you get a bit of exclusivity which is hard to come by these days

  • naff phone, way over priced for what featuers it has, ive had it for two days and thinkin of sendin it back ang gettin my sony ericcson back, anyone thinkin of gettin one keep your money in ya pocket!!

  • this is another PHONE with a chassis of a Lamborghini but the insides of a ford fiesta and the amount of bugs to go with it !

  • i dont believe it's a good fone, all your paying for is the look. it does nothing special, and as for having any girl you want with it, thats a load of crap.

  • This phone has a nice body...like most women....but the face is ugly....like most women,....n it doesen't do much....like most women.

  • i ve got one and i simply love it. the only dissapointment is the fact that it has no memory card option :(( otherwise , i adore it and i wouldn t trade it 4 the world:D

  • nokia 8800 is a power of beutifully

  • I have this phone. I was looking at Vertu but decided I could not justify it. Looking back good descion. I paid $1350 CDN for this phone but i got it in Canada when it was first released. No dealers carried it so it was a special order. I can tell u that it has the performce and features of a phone 1/3 the price. Worst thing is it is so heavy. Dropped it on the concrete and swear it bounced so high it could have landed in the same hand it fell out of. Stick with phones that are designed for performance. This isn't a watch or a car. It is a cell phone. Technolgy changes mounthly.

  • i got this phone the otherday looks great nice design but no card slots 128mb memory not bad though looks nice but the lack of features again pay loads of money just for the features that's it

  • hey if you got this phone you will not need a ferrari anymore to have any girl you want :)

  • "the screen is only 208+208 becuase of its design " - here was plenty of space at the top where the Nokia wording is that could of been used to extend the screen. "there is no memory card slot becuase of its curvy edges" - The memory card could of quiet easily gone in the battery compartment. "there is no autofocus,flash becuase of the camera at the back no space for garbage functions" - Autofocus is only junk if you want blurry photos. And your solution to the blandness of Siroccos' features is to also carry a second phone? Just buy a decent phone in the first place. This phone is mobile bling with mediocre, second rate features at best.

  • the screen is only 208+208 becuase of its design there is no memory card slot becuase of its curvy edges there is no autofocus,flash becuase of the camera at the back no space for garbage functions 8800 sirocco is 1 of a kind in design(only) for everything else get a secondary phone for E.g 6230i thatl keep u entertained on the same platform as 8800!!!!!!

  • my mates have got one, and im getting jealous. trying to get it on o2 max for free for last two weeks on staff discount

  • d beggest draw back is card slot in not availlable......again 3G alos not available.........looks not a right choice 2 spend this hude amount for it........+ve is looks......so make yr choice b/w looks and features

  • i need more pics to the phone

  • I bought that phone few days ago...worest phone i ever had features are comman no new innovation only design is good but not as good as i was expecting....poor batter life Oh lord i simply just wasted my money.....Hey Guys Nokia is simply just making fool its customers i think if u like stylish phones than Motorolla is Number one .... 8800 Sirocco SuCkssss.....

  • Good looking, well made phone but hardly one of the best on the market. It's features are pretty second rate compared to most phones out there. I mean for a start it has the usual Nokia square screen at only 208x208 pixels where as most manufacturers are now going for 240x320. Yes it has a 2 mega pixel camera but where is the auto focus? Where is the flash? And whats the point in an MP3 player if it only has 128MB of memory and no way of increasing it? One for those who like bling over substance in my opinion.

  • Right. After using this phone for the past 3 weeks i have come to an conclusion which i would say is a good comments on the entire phone. It is brilliant. It does what you want it to do. Plays music, takes photos, brilliant for texts and phone calls. Nokia have done a very good first class job on this handset. Anyone thinking about getting this phone, get it, the stylish things which come with it, like the headphones and case, are also brilliant. This phone is one of the best on the market at the moment. For thouse who say it's crap then you havn't had one and played with it properly. 10/10. Brilliant.

  • i dont have the phone. its not because i cant afford its because i dont like it. i work for a phone company and have seen the phone many times. it doesnt look that and the middle buttons actually get loose so you can see inside the phone. if that happens then how can it be made well enough to justify that price tag

  • how people talk like this afford phone???

  • Nokia 8800 is totaly a stylish, gracefully, business class mobile, even with less features still its cool..

  • why are you people still goin on about the siroccoo,yes it was good 6 months ago when it came out but it wasent even great them,the only reason i got one was because everyone else wanted one,not because it is great,get over it and find something else to take about

  • That is what i try to say, they just cant get it through because they can afford it. I have a 02 stealth, n73,7390 but there is comparison with the sirocco, it is in a leauge of it's own.

  • there is no memory card slot becuase of the design to curvy and no POP PORT becuase of the deign to curvy to special for the thingssss LOOKS IS WHAT 8800 SIROCCO is all about..

  • its features are very third class but look is great and main thing i think feature. after all its not a good phone be aware from 8800sirroco

  • to chris well said but 1 thing i own this and 6230i i prefer this sirocco just becuase of its looks..but then i always go to 6230i for everything else ...just have to say this..8800 sirocco has To die for looks..dribble!!!! AND LOOKS ARE EVERTHING THESE DAYS..everyone should know that..8800 is that..

  • hey guys just buy a sirocco and a n series phone like n73 but this is not for the people who ant afford them sory!!!!

  • as an upper class citizen i'd like to say that he is right. You scum can never "buy" class

  • Everyone is entitled to there own oppinion about which phone is best. But could the people who say this phone makes me classy or i now have class because i own an 8800 please stop it. You either have class or you don't and buying a phone that is made of metal and looks pretty dosn't make you any different to the person who has a nokia 6230i. Grow up people you can't buy class !

  • All phones in your link are all required contract man, even the clearance one, and they are all locked. And they still aint cheap. Same as many guys said, if you complaint about the phone feature, first, it wasnt made for you, second, try to know what you're buying next time.

  • i really dont like this phone. i returned it in my 1st 14 days. it looks nice but is not even good at being just a phone

  • Can you see this heck is selling for clearence price

  • i got this phone, as replacement for my n93i. i am really satistified with this, and gives me the taste of class. not as functional as the other phone models, but built-wise from aesthetic point of view, it is the best...

  • Because people dont know what they doing, there are plenty people like that around. They bought that phone without knowing that the phone wasnt made for them.People who like good camera, mp3 player, tv... , please go to N series, this phone is not for you. Dont put down the phone just because you dont like it. And who the heck is selling sirocco as clearance, last time i check, which is 5 minutes ago, price is still over $700

  • Well if the fone is really well built then why people return it and online retailers are selling for the clearance price?

  • I used SE w550, W800, and my friend W810, 7390,n73,8800,... Their menu is equally and easy to use. 8800 and Sirocco built bear any Se any day. Dont put down a phone just because you dont know how to use it. That's why they have a manual

  • to the guy below aah dude i have owned a Sonyerricson a walkman810 and it fell from my hand in town and it broke the whole thing W810i turned into a broken kebab...iv dropeed a Nokia 6230i on the floor nothing happned to it..just a scratch..and if my 8800 sircco fell my heart would be broken becoz its so precious..not abt money..abt the feel of it..it feels like a managers phone..as if ur in control..totally a cool phone..its not abt featuress..ITS ABOUT STYLE!!! and 8800 sirocco is full of STYLE..looks sexyy!!!!

  • The 8800 can withstand all of that abuse, and still work perfectly

  • If you can buy ten better mobiles that still work after being run over buy a ferrary, or submerge in a glass of wine, or the screen was stand on by a girl wearing high heels. Show me

  • I don't have to pick it up to figure out that I can buy ten better mobile phones. It is absolutely exaggerated and I see no reason for its cosmic price.

  • This is a very well built phone and looks the part . That is if that is what you want from your phone Its for you.... if not then pick an other phone and keep you r money ,,,,,

  • to hussan bro good idea get rid of the big bulky N80 iv had 1 of those i didnt like it..i now own this 8800 sirocco and its great..real gangsta phone iv got a 6230i to same as this like 6230i to.anotha great fone...8800 sirocco

  • Hey drj...u said u had an N80 before...i have one now and thinking of buying this one...um sick of my phone restarting itself simply coz it wanted to too,and um sick of have a huge phone to play mp3 and have a 3 MP camera and and and and...i have an ipod a 8 MP canon camera...and i want a CLASSY MOBILE PHONE...what do u think people ?!

  • its more expensive because the quality is much higher that standard models you only have to pick it up to tell that.if you own one you know this allready

  • It's a great cell, i have it,before i had n80, before that n72 and i was sick & tired of problems like blocking the screen , poor plastic and huge phones like my wireless at home,plus i was seek and tired of a phone that suddenly shuts down because it wanted . Now for the ones that critisies it and don't have it: guys it's easy to say ferrari sucks when u don't have the money to buy it!!!

  • Great phone. SO what if it doesnt have a grea camera, I have a digital camera to take photos. Battery life.. Whats wrong with plugging it in at night??!! Best phone about. FACT!

  • this phone is definitely a garbage for a tech person except it's trying to present a MATRIX look, but MATRIX is a outdated movie already

  • does anybody has a problem with sliding mechanism. Please do not embarese yourself by replying if you do not own 8800/se, it shows.

  • basically people who own this phone love it, those who don't are sour and say they dislike it like some of the people who have left comments here

  • working in a mobile phone shop i know everything about phone. I have a 8800s chrome and its by far the best phone on the market its built properly and has no software issues, yes there are beeter features on phones out there but you stupid people seem not to realise what you buy an 8800 for its not for the camera or the mp3 player, you buy it because your classy and you want a phone thats is properly put together not cheap plastic and you want a phone that your not going to see every tom dick and harry walking around come on people be different worth every penny brilliant in everyway a must for everyone who doesn't follow like sheep for everyone else enjoy been one of millions with k800s enjoy faulty lg choc's and enjoy been tied in with chavs playing your mp3's out loud on your w850's

  • I'll be honest...this phone helped me get rid of my winnits in days. It has a special feature where you can set the ring alert to 'bum exfoliate'. BEST PHONE EVER!!!

  • Only two reasons you have this phone: 1) You've got more money than sense. 2) You take think you're mint pills.

  • this phone is rubbish. yeah it's has two batteries ..but the life time of both (togeter) sucks...price 600-900 euro for what? rubish camera and low memory..no card ?!...it looks ..different ..but not nice

  • Just pay the money for its looks. Looks hot! Thr is no card slot, no usb etc. so not for the tech savvy guys. What pisses me off is wiping the finger prints every now n then.

  • what a pile of nastiness this phone is. why anyone would want this horribly expensive heap is beyond me. no card slot, no usb ect ect. the only saving grace is it's looks and as we all know - looks ain't everything. get this phone and you'll spend the whole time regretting it. trust!!

  • why this phone is so expensive? in our country, this phone is about 1000$ what is this thing has? and i don't like its style.

  • Got my mom an 8800,now im looking high and low for a good deal on one of these. I dont use them since im young and prefer a phone with better function, like my N73 :D But business peoples looks sick with these man, black or silver, i dont care, im getting one.

  • what a great phone. okay it dont exactly make your tea in the mornings but it looks hot, quality guaranteed. a must

  • to o_11 hey yah!! well for me you've got the right one....i'd like the color black because of its simplicity and elegance...and i believe that people around the world will choose what you've choose....so no doubt if i will invest for this ..... marlon bianan @ yahoo.com bianzky_mt21 A yahoo.com

  • Guys, which color do you think is better? black or silver? I bought the black one, but now im second guessing the color...any ideas/input? Thanx

  • I think tha phone is really HOT, I would get the N95 and that phone. I would never trade my N93 or my P990 for them though!

  • nokia 8800 ranges and all of the hgh end ranges of nokia have been amazing im a massive fan of this phone it looks amazing and works like a dream, yeah the battery is poor but you have two. There is no other phone on the maket that i would swap for. Its about having something different who would want a 3, 4 and 5 megapixel plastic rubbish phone that freezes and screens crack on and everyone owns.

  • my superior at British Gas has one of these, and as soon as he pulls it out, you just want one yourself. A phone is texting and calling. you dont need 3g, mp3, cameras. 3g - has never took off mp3 - get an ipod camera - take a digital camera

  • Why on earth would anyone want to PAY money for a phone that looks nice and that is it? A battery life that is rubbish and then it is the phone that ALL the pikeys want... I can afford one, but I wouldn't ever get it, it is a phone for men with a small manhood.

  • you know what???i love nokia phones,as much as i want to buy this phone i can't afford it because this phone is so expensive w/ less features compared to other n series phone......and i think i need to work harder to buy this phone because i love the design....

  • to dani wtf wtf if u r saying that means u cant afford the 8800 sirocco

  • i cant believe someone likes this phone!!! its sooo horrible!!!!!!

  • good looking phone with royal look , features r royal and functions r really great.I will suggest every one to buy this phone once and feel the royalness in ur pocket.

  • wanna know why i love these type of phones. its because there will be LESS of them out there! and thats why its awesome! last thing you want is when your trying to impress someout about a phone and another person beside you has one! like a MOTOROLA RAZR. doh!

  • its goood the features its got eveyrthig atleast...i own 2 of these non of them have given me problems....its slick design is gorgous..and try getting a girl with it..dam thats the best part..they start dribling when this comes out my pocket..its greatt!!!!!!!! 8800 sirocco rulessss

  • I want one but soooooooo expensive, and contract will tie for 18 months!!! whats a girl to do!!!????

  • very expensive phone ... it only look good..the specs are very poor for this price

  • the phone is of the hook really great, i will buy it over and over again, many people owning a phone is all about the accessory, but for sirocco is all about class and style

  • this phone is overrated for it's price. its features aren't even great!

  • This phone is the pants - I want one!!!

  • I love this phone - I want to sell lots of them!!!

  • i want see silver clour

  • this is an expensive phone ,but is very beautiful so i want a 8800 sirocco!!!!:P

  • it is realy a boom boom lovely mobile

  • To the person who exchanged your n80 and the n73 for the sirocco, just buy doing that, you're not fitting to use the phone. If you use an n73 like me, we care about camera, and music player. If you use an n80, you care about efficiency of using the phone as a internet connector. The peoples that the Sirocco wants to hit dont care about camera, music player or internet in their phone. They just want a phone is elegant and reflect their social economy status. I have a Stealth and an N73, but i wont trade for an 8800.

  • I am fond of Nokia fones. But in past new months I had i-mate fones like JAM, SP5, JAM-in but just a day b4 i went to mobile market to change it. I had seen it on net so i decided to go for Nokia this time again. Believe me, SIROCCO rocks. It has every thing that you people mostly find in ur dream girls except few things that a fone cannot provide you with :P SIROCCO ROCKS

  • I feel bad since i exchange my Nokia N80 and N73 for the sirocco last week , this phone is useless and is not good enough for me

  • I have owned plenty of nokia's before , N70 , N80 , 8800 , 7610 , 7210...... As I'm a big fan of Nokia . I only used my sirocco on weekend because my N80 is a much better phone .

  • Hey, I just got this phone from UK. It's unlocked, so i can use it here in the US. I have a problem with the text message (i'm using t-mobile). whenever i sent text, it says "message sending failed, sending not allowed". i checked the message center, and it's the same with the T-mobile center number. any ideas?please help!!thx

  • the display unit is gone apparently it takes weeks for them to get it down to my country. can somebody pls help me to access notes and my sms folder to back up all my data. it was my office basically. since it does not have a data cable im lost without knowing how to get my data out of it. plsss someone help me. thanks in advance. my mail is [email protected]

  • I love this Fancy Phone I always thinking that Nokia will never come with a competitive phone LIKE SIROCCO and Im proud to have it.

  • i like nokia 6310i bcause it has amazing battery timing and nice receiption of voice.but beauty has ended on nokia 8800 sirroco.i had simple 8800.but i have planned 2 purchase this now!

  • 'i love this phone, i always show off with it. people who get a phone with same functions, cant even come close. i am number 1, theyre forever number 2 cuz theyre cheap' People with this phone should not show off, they have paid a lot of money for the an ugly phone with no functions. they are cheaper and better phones out there.

  • People who compare this phone to SE K800 is walkman series! Imagine you in a black tie suit and in the middle of a business meeting, then you take out a SE that many teenagers are using everyday, it is just plain weird! It is expensive for it luxury design and solid material.

  • i have te same phone and is a succes the design made by nokia no other phone is zo beatefull:P

  • shut up these phone is verryy sexy is not for childeren for busines people.

  • no need to buy such a rubbish phone wid hardly any features at succcccchhhhh aaaaaa high prize

  • jus ordered da Sirocco,readin da reviews-Features are limited yes...but u want style and class-this is da phone. however-wot u xpect out of Nokia could av been more for da Sirocco bein da top end model at Nokia-wonder if there may be a future 8800i or a 8800 sirocco limited edition or maybe a 8850??? Yes definitely features wise da sirocco could av done better. too late...i hav ordered it now...couldnt wait.

  • this phone is sxccccccccccccccc!!!!!!!!!! i want 1 :D

  • in a middle of speach,you have a button and turn on volume on a maximum.

  • hey...any of you guyz know how to make the volume louder when talking on the line? can't find any button to make it louder...i have to turn on the speaker to talk. Thx.

  • in UK Nokia is selling for GB �649.00 and another seller for about GB �584.95

  • The phone is always to dial number and press send key, speak n listen and again press end key. Believe me this fone realy does all these functions

  • i love this phone, i always show off with it. people who get a phone with same functions, cant even come close. i am number 1, theyre forever number 2 cuz theyre cheap

  • yes blood, this phone is sick, proper stylish, and trust when u ask a girl for her number and pull this phone out they go weak at the knees

  • its very unreasonable price!!!! the phone is nice but bad features...

  • can anybody answer me y dis phone is so expensive!!!!!! its only got a 2 mpx camera and the screen is tiny but it still costs R8 800 in south africa!. Its a rip off! rather get the SE K800 for less than half the price!

  • i used this phone for 3days and is the stupids phone i used ever. now is use a qtek and is very good

  • I've been using this phone for over a month now and I love it. It's really cool. The battery life is better than my former 6111. No flaws.

  • its an expensive phone and does buga all!!

  • wot a joke, the 7373 does has better features.. for a quarter of the price!!! ............stupid..........

  • By the way, one comment said the battry life aint good...it really is great! So i disagree with that, my phone only lasts me 2days and that's without playing music and games or what have you on it, this one goes for a week atleast. If there's one thing Nokia's are good for is simplicity and battry life, this phone does have that...and a very tight cover to go with it, which makes getting it out a task... =P

  • My mum got this phone a few months ago, dont know how caz my dad said it was expensive, first look of it VERY stylish, but the black cover gets your finger marks stainin it which is really very annoyin because it just ends up lookin scruff. It hasn't got much to offer either, personally im not into it, the kepypad is really small, i aint got fat fingers at all but even i find it hard to type on it. Not only that, but when closing the phone it slams together, which seriously worries me everytime i do so. However strangly enough my mum has told me she get's so many compliments when she gets it out from random people. In my opinion it does lok pretty sleek yea, but not once it gets your finger print stains all over it. On the other hand, it's small and thin which is handy. I'm much happier with my Sony Ericsson K800i =)

  • some people has just got no money or low money. they would go for rather cheap phones. but in the social world. HIGH STANDARDS, having an n93 or 8800 is soooo good. having 6234 is so cheap. because there, its the price that matters. so conclusion: cheap people dont have taste for EXPENSIVE phones.

  • Why this mobile phone is so expensive?

  • �700 and it's not 3G, the battery life is awful and it has no features. Only somebody swallow could really buy a phone like this and think its good. I'd rather have a 6234, at least it has features!!!

  • I love this phone very much....... i haven`t got 1 yet but my best sales guys have cos they are the best "Rash&Bash." Tom Law

  • damn its a dream phone! love and would go anywhere for it

  • if this cell would cost cheaoer, more ppl would have it, and it wouldnt be so special to have one! thats the idea i think...

  • It's a good phone , the stile is unbeliveble and is a smart phone . in conclusion is The ideal Phone ! Buy it :)

  • yeh...this phone has style..to the ultimate limit of styling....its to die for the style on 8800 sirocco edition...its 1 of a kind..

  • i don't know dude, i don't think it's about what the phone has to offer, it's about the phone itself, phone is for one thing and that's communication, any phone which can does that satisfy me but this phone... it's the luxury and style that if offers that really got me dying for it.

  • 8800 sirocco is an ultimate phone... trust me if u have this phone...it shows hows rich you are and that you have money...and girlz love it...its a great phonee...for rich people.and ppl that can afford it..

  • The outlook is very good.but no extra memory.

  • indeed luxorious

  • it is very expensive fone and nthng special in it i dnt know y ppl buy this y dnt they use their money on gud purpozes if someone want to buy its my personal suggestion for him that wait for a year he will get 4 mobles in 10 ponds bcoz this model is totally fail ppl r just buying due to its name so plz stop buying this bull s****

  • The best phone on the WORLD !!! Love it !!

  • why the hell on earth there is no card slot!!!!!!!!!

  • It's not any feature !!!!!

  • Dont see why this phone shld be that expensive...Nokia have got to more more rational...no infrared, usb and card slot and call this the most expensive nokia fon? wtf...u've got to do beta!!!!

  • whay shoud u bye this phone ...Whayy ppl whay this is the most stupid phone on the market 4 the love of GOD don't pay that much 4 a phone

  • this phone is gooood.......its a girl magnet...

  • very wired

  • phones classy.. but it hurts the thumb a lot..

  • Why the display is a bit blur? Is it because of the saphire-protected glass?

  • i love this phone . it's a girl magnet :) yes the price is big but it worth . its the most luxurios phone. tell me 1 other phone like this. me....sincerely i love my phone. nokia rules and will rule .

  • This website has solid gold Nokia, I remember browsing around one day and came across it. Might interest you:

  • Does anyone know where I could get a solid gold Nokia 8800? I can only find the plated gold ones but I was looking for more of a solid gold (non plated). If you do please let me know! Thanks guys!

  • well the phone is really expensive.. but in contrary it is really suit for those people who can afford to have it. why? basically it is not about the price it is about the purpose. alryt?.. >",< well to tell you honestly i cant afford it hehehe lol

  • well the phone is really expensive.. but in contrary it is really suit for those people who can afford to have it. why? basically it is not about the price it is about the purpose. alryt?.. >",< well to tell you honestly i cant afford it hehehe lol

  • just wanted to add that the base of the phone is silver, so it is possible for the black to come off.... just a point to consider before any of you give an opinion... thanks!

  • just wondering which colour to get...ive heard the black isnt as charming as the silver....plus finger smuges are a problem in the black... Please advise....

  • wow a great model from nokia i love this model of nokia due to its durability

  • the keys on this phone look really small and fiddly to use.

  • Buy this phone for its look & feel, not for its technology. I've had this phone for over a month, and I'm quite happy with it. The scratch-resistant glass, all-metal body, sturdy build, good weight, and soothing sounds are quite nice. Yes, it doesn't have all of the tech features like some phones (N95, etc.), but that's not why people buy this phone. The Sirocco is almost like the Mercedes of phones -- it's not the most expensive model, it doesn't have the biggest or fastest "engine" (ie: not the biggest or fastest processor), it's not the most feature-packed, but it is very cool and classy and deserving of its luxury status. Are there more expensive phones than the Sirocco and more expensive cars than a Mercedes? Yes. Are there phones and cars with more features than the Sirocco and Mercedes, respectively? Yes. But, they're both classy enough, good-looking enough, and have enough "wow" factor to be more than worthy of purchase.

  • I 100% agree with Cash :P You need it to make phone calls and send text to girlz :P

  • Can somebody PLEASE tell me why this phone is so expensive?!! It's ridiculous! No special functions and not even one diamond on it!

  • Hey, don't argue about it. Different people have different idea. For me, I love this phone, and I have one too. I bought it when i went to visit my country 3 months ago. It's right that this phone doesn't have many functions like other Nokia, but what makes it expensive is the look and the material that it's made. Peace out, guy!

  • Well this handset is NOT in gold, its the same old N8800 (non-sirocco) in gold

  • its not a bad phone. i've had mine for a few months. but it does nothing special. same functions as the 2 year old 6230i. it weighs a ton too. still, it looks nice

  • this phone is not for people who need lot of features it depends on the person. this phone is for people who dont use any features or dont even know how to oprate phones and people like them are proud to have that phone

  • this one is soo beautiful.. wow I found a gold one too

  • I bought this phone last year before Christmas and my battery life is minimum 5 days with talking and on stand by is 8 days :) And i have some words for those who don`t like this phone. Wake up guys !!! Phones are made to talk and send SMS`s . If you want something else go and buy a COMPUTER . Negative peoples are writing here for 2 reasons : They don`t have money and they want this phone They want games , camera .....(Go and buy a sony camera and a computer and download a program to make phone calls ..) Phones are made for design , to call your friends and send SMS`s to girls :)))

  • I'm gonna buy this one... whatever you guys said... =) cheers!

  • What do you mean crap, it's garbage! This 8800 is probably the worst Nokia phone I ever owned. Nokia should recall this model as a token to all the people that purchased this phone. I a big Nokia fan if you can beleive that?

  • this phone only looks great. a nice show off phone but if you look for better camera phones and so on i wouldnt buy this. had too many probs with it so i just sold it.

  • Just a reply to Koureas G. Koureas G i can see what your saying, and yer fair enough, but i'm sure theres more to the phone than just the look, games etc, hardly any1 plays bcuz itz extra, you need a phone to make phone calls, the extra features like only 9% of people use to full advantage, so i think the phone is better than many say, buh i see what your saying, good point ;-)

  • I have this nokia 8800 and the phone looks absolutly great but thats about it the camera is crap the games are crap the functions and speakers are yes crap and the battery live is absolute crap I ould not advise anyone to purchase this phone unless you want it for the look then I understand but people are right its the biggest waste of money I have ever spent and I rate it 2/10 and thats just for looks thanks for reading hope you take note think first!

  • To Timbo and others: There are two categories of people posting here. Those who want their phone to be first of all useful,functional,with good performance and then how it looks and those who set as an only priority to have a phone that is pretty to show off with it. I belong in the first category and as a user of all high-end Nokia 8-series phones i have to state that Nokia SE doesn�t justify its value of money but it�s only a subjectively pretty phone. I wouldn�t have a problem if it was a good, useful (which it�s not) expensive phone. Nokia 8800 and SE are two overpriced marketing tricks products without substance . It�s not a matter of money but simply i don�t want to be ripped off. We don�t buy expensive things to feel special and to show off. We buy them because they make the difference and respond to their use, quality and value of money. You don�t have to criticize others because they have different opinion than yours. Everyone has the right to say his/her opinion even if it�s positive/negative or you agree/disagree with them. Too much discussion and argument for nothing and for things that everyone has different point of view and opinion.

  • looks like the wastest mobile in the world. see the look. it looks like old model..... waste waste.......

  • i have one of these, and the thing is, true its expensive, but its not expensive when it comes with the contract. the battery life is fairly poor, around 1-2days and then its back to the charger. but the design and few features more than makes up for the overall phone, it has a camera, it has gprs, its got sms, phone, a few games and apps, and thats fine by me

  • i am using the nok 8800, were problem is with battery backup, is there any alternative like changing the battery which would be better,

  • Just want to say something to a post i saw on the 3rd page i think..By Neil.. He said.. In response to Nokiaguy; Why? Why would you waste your money on something that is purely design? Do you really think that people care that you have an over-price yet under-specced handset? Sure it looks pretty n' all, but it's just a waste of money. Now, before you all start going on about how I have no taste, can't affod it etc - I own my own business and Am on here looking for a new phone. Secondly, I wear armani suits and Prada shoes. I currently have a PDA, which is prerfect for what I need. I don't understand why people would actually go ahead and buy this handset... Let's look at the facts: 1) It does nothing. 2) It's way too expensive. 3) It does nothing. Go ahead, buy it, try nd look cool with it, but enjoy people laughing at you and calling you a "poser"... Right..Poser? So many people have said it, if you wear Aramani suits and prada shoes...why? what's wrong with the 1z down your local clarks? or the suits in asda? The bottom line is, because this 8800 might be a little overpriced u say it's crap fact of the matter is why spend all that money on thouse suits and shoes? when it doez the same job as an less expensive one? same as what ur saying with this phone You are one thing..a hypocrite The phone is made for what purpose? to send and recieve voice convosations, maybe text message and maybe camera use or music Why do you need to be extra and say this phone is crap because it doesn't have many features? You tell me, which of the features on the phone do you even know how to use? in general Fact of the matter is, dont say something is ccrap for the soul purpose of it being overpriced I could say your clothing is crap, has no real design, waste of money, but does any1? No...Why? Because it's a luxourise item, same as this phone, stick to what the phone is made for, if u can afford it buy one If u cant buy one which is cheaper, up to you Dont say this phone is crap because of it's price It's annoying now..

  • I dont understand all the negative posts about this phone, this isnt a phone for everyone, it is for people who can afford to spend �500 for a phone. You need to understand that some people dont need all the features you get with Series 60 and PDA phones. These are the people that will buy this phone. I recieved mine yesterday and it is worth every penny. The Sirocco is definately 'luxury redefined'.

  • I have Nokia 8800 which I like it's looking, and appreciated by all my freinds. But the problem I really have is the battery life and other freinds using the same phone we share it. Is it possible to impouve the battery and give the Nokia it's good reputation and value of money for the 8800 which even in it's advert says that desavantage is very expensive? Please let us enjoy this beautfull phone. Thanks. Edison

  • Niel, just out of my curiousity, I am wondering how offen you are using wifi on your fone beside using it to call or text message or email. dont wanna offend anyone but everytime I pull out my Sirocco, people start go "WOW", your phone look nice....and blah blah blah. However, i never see anyone ask me on my PDA. Do you have this experience?

  • I highly agree with previous positive post. The phone is elegant but business like, they sell the retail here in New Zealand for $1500 which is quite expensive, but still I enjoy the phone and it definitly lives up to my expectations. Cannot find any con's right now :D

  • I just ordered one, i think it looks brilliant and will be more than happy to be using it! features? all u need is a music player, send and recieve calls and text message, what more do you need? phone looks the businesses and feels like it too.

  • This phone is terrible looks good but poor features battery life is useless even with both batteries. Such a let down from Nokia and heavily overpriced.

  • the phone is a mad price made to look better than it is and even then not that good its jus a gimick stay away from it you will be disapointed .

  • For the price of this phone, it should be capable of a memory card, WiFi, 3mp Camera+... Still bear in mind what phones were originally made for, but even then it's very poor value for money.

  • i had the silver one i sold it back because i din't like it, i bought the black one and it's much much better. buy the black one

  • Hmm...too pricey and the screen isn't big enough for me. It would be a considerable choice if the screen was bigger and had all the other features like the N95.

  • For the dude below me: don't buy it at all, it's not worth the price, no useful functions, horrible camera... Buy it only if you have ALOT spare cash and only use the phone to call, sometimes message... Well and you will buy it anyways, take a black one, it looks cooler :D

  • i only have one question: should i buy it in black or silver? damn thats a tough one

  • yes its good because it just looks nice. some people actualy ARE classy and prefer class to gadgets. thats why classy people wear rolexes and others casio

  • I'm havin it and I'm lovin it. They have put some element in it that attracts the girls. :D

  • I think 8800 Sirocco OK >>> ~ but poor battery life and WAT ...... NO MEMORY CARD !!! and the 8800 was a bit warm to the touch so ..................... 6/10 end transmission........................

  • Great Looker and pack comes well equipped with Bluetooth headset, extra battery, desktop charger, earphone, case and cleaning cloth. Keys are small and hard to press, functionality is average and the camera is good. Hard to keep clean too

  • If you want a strong phone then you can go and check on vertu.com ... the strongest handmade phone on the market ;)

  • Well going to be truthful to all my fellow mates,when talking about functions its complicated but when its talking about design its great.So thin its your choice wether you want a designation or a functional choices. BUT If you choose a designation as your choice Its aeatful choice of mine and yourselves because I think that in funtion Its complicated to say but in designation Its nothing to comment on but to say EXCELLENCE.YOURS TRULY

  • I forgot,and no card slot :|

  • What's so grate about this phone? no symbian, no wlan, no nothing. Is good just because it looks nice? Please tell me! :|

  • i have this phone. it looks great,luxurious hands down to that but thats it.battery life is garbage and you can't really do anything else but show it off.

  • this phone is da bomb man its weel awesome i love it ive got this an the old one its great everything about it its looks it performance it reliability yeah batery int that sound but they give u two so at least they think of their customers this is da best ever phone

  • hi! My name is Borat! I like this phone, Sirocco...It's nice! Does this phone work in Kazakhstan? Please tell me.

  • so you add a saphire screen and a steel body. so what this phone sucks it's only for the rich who has a ton of money to waste... and they're even better off buying a different phone. just discard it when the screen gets scratched. it's not like this phone will not become obsolete next year...

  • @Lucky Wish i could lucky but there aint none, buy a good phone instead - N95! Its a BIG waste of money.

  • why this cell phone is so expensive . would u plz like to tell me all the great specifications

  • i love the phone evern i dont have one but it si lovely & the design the only theng u should add is the bluethooth in it & the 3G

  • its very good!!!!!!!!!

  • sen loves it

  • Piece of shiny junk...No features... I wonder how those new owners gonna push lower buttons as they are unreachable because of that bottom cover...To use camera you need to open whole thing...

  • English Please! Just got the black 8800s free on an upgrade, the images of the phone dont give it credit, you need to go look at in the flesh (Steel) The best thing that i have found about the phone is the games. Two games, golf tour and rally 3d have the best graphics on any non pda mobile, even better than that of the sonyeric k800i. Cool phone makes you feel a million bucks and it comes with bluetooth headset that i have just sold for �100 in getting the phone i made 100 quid and look dam good!

  • Wow!I like very very much how look this phone...it's cool but cost too much for what know to do...

  • not bad...

  • waste of money......no point of this cellphone...no features...wen i put it in ma pockets my pants fall, so heavy...just dont buy this cellfone...i thought nokia was a perfect company for cellphones buh evn nokia made a mistake

  • shiney

  • ye!

  • Hi Does this phone work in India??

  • its a sick phone.. its the best ive held in my hands..its a very classy phone.. its amazin. it would be the best phone if they increase the volume of the speackers, and add a memory card slot!... peaceeeee!

  • To kPX4: yes, the Sirocco does work in the US (Cingular or TMobile or any other wireless company which uses GSM technology). I just got it yesterday, so I don't really have any reviews of it other than I do like the look and feel of the phone. I don't need any of those other extras that people keep complaining about -- I just wanted a quality phone that looks/feels good and works well, and that's why I splurged and got this phone as a $700 USD xmas present for myself. I wanted quality, and that's what I got. If I wanted to surf the web or buy soda at a soda machine with this device, then of course I would have gotten another phone instead.

  • hey, does this phone work in the U.S? i want to use in the west coast (mainly California), please let me know.

  • luxury feature

  • I'd rather buy K800i than this, it's too expensive and my K800 have better options. 8910i -> 8800/Special Edition/Sirocco

  • This phone called Sirocco is SLICKKKKKKKK...i guess is the phone of the year for us big boizzzzzzzz

  • o got this phone... is cool but if u want posh and sh-t like that get urself a vertu... take this phone only if it reprezents you... in my case it suits perfectly. i know it's not cheap but the fealing of the metal in this combination is uniqe... If u want posh buy Vertu, if u want smart Qtek, I-mate... if u want cheap Alcatel OT311 but if u want stile Sirocco is for u...

  • the nokia is one of the best mobile phones in existence.

  • lovelyy

  • sorry is anybody know how can ı get nokia 8800 sirocco bulet-proof edition photos ? .....

  • there is no 8mm weapon , bulletproof phone?!!?! the kinetic energy dispersed at the impact is absorbet by the object in the back of the phone (human, table, etc) and the pullet if it is normal one (not armour piercing ones with vidia, titanium, teflon etc... head). whare do you people come up with such ideas as bulletproof phones?

  • What's such thing in this handset that makes it so costly. Feature wise i dont think that this fone is worth its cost and even lookwise. shame on you nokiaaa.... Sachin Tendulkar Indian Cricket team

  • @neil because in my country... and believe me, because i sell contracts and work with phones, its cheaper to have two contracts and call some people, depending on their contract, from one phone, and some from the other. so im saving money because of my second phone. sounds stupid, but its like that. it always depend on the contracts, in other countries you cannot save money like this. so this is the reason... its no problem, we maybe have the same opinion, just about different things... but its no reason to blame others... regards

  • It's an absolute nut to buy the phone..

  • this phone is totally bullet-proof i shot it with 6mm gun in metal side , and my nokia 8800 sirocco bulet proof edition is still alive , is resistant form 5mm,6mm,7mm and 8mm gun nokia 8800 sirocco edition -$1400 nokia 8800 sirocco bulet-proof edition* -$4200 *This bulet proof edition is only for Russia,Kazakhstan,Kosovo,Muchiverca, Boyllopoya,Muchibaba,Doubrewa and Pollata

  • @ Baztoli 2 phones? Why? That's just two contracts which is double the cash. You could have one phone which does this, that and the next thing ad use it for business and personal use. I can understand if the PDA is a work phone given to you by your company, but if it wasn't issued to you by your highers then why would you need two contracts? I think the mobile phone culture is something tht I've missed out on. And maybe I am a poser for owning a classic car, but in the same respect, you own a classy phone. We both hve something in common. We like nice things. I'm not here to troll the messageboards or anything, and I may have been slightly off the mark with the "poser" comment. I just think that the phone is too expensive for what it is...

  • @neil i also have a m600 and its perfect for my bussiness. it has everything, touchsreen, guess what, i have also tom tom 6 on it... but i need to carry 2 phones with me for some reasons. my second phone is the sirocco. if you would have to carry two phones, would it be two same pda's because they can do everything?? my second phone is just for calling and writing messages, the m600 for internet, mail and so on. shall i buy myself another pda with all these functions i dont need for my second number just to say "the phone can...", or am i allowed to buy myself a phone i like because of its looks? so why i'm now a poser? because i like the phone? if yes, than you're a poser owing a 1956 Austin M, because i just own a smart brabus, wich is perfect for the city ... think about it

  • if you not effort to buy a vertu phone, Nokia 8800 Sirocco is the alternative. both phone offer the similar thing. Those people choose to have a Vertu or N8800, they are looking for something elegant, high class... perhaps you are the CEO of the company, on the other hand that you have your own secretary, so it also mean do does not need any PDA phone, Big memory, funny function on the phone.... because those task already done by secretary.... remember N8800 Sirocco is a brand image like VERTU.

  • Just wondering if they have improved the battery of this one compared to the original one?

  • Posh people dont buy this handset, its for the blind and people with more money than style! I also agree with the Chav phone thoery.

  • @ batazoli: Fair enough. But I own a 1956 Austin M and an Omega Seamaster Chronograph and a Cannon Eos DII with 4 different Leica lenses. So, your arguement from this point becomes invaid. I have luxury items, I like luxury . It makes life jsut that little bit more exciting and special. Still, I cannot see wy I would want this phone. Fair enough, It looks alright. But people don't just buy Pagani Zondas because they're gorgeous. They buy them because they're a supercar. I bought a Panasonic Plasma screen because of the technology inside it and because It gives me an awesome picture. My PDA kicks the arse out of your Sirocco. Perhaps people on here should stop being so vein and trying to impress others, and buying something practical. My PDA may not be ade from gun-proof titanium-glass-scratchproof-alloy or whatever the hell it's made of, but it has form and function. Not only does it look nice, it impresses people far more because it runs Windows, it's touchscreen, I have TomTom in it, I an browse the internet, I can take 2.5mp photos and I can STILL make phonecalls and receive text messages! Your sirocco does, what... 3 or 4 of these points? Form and function people, Not just form.

  • the cost of this phone would feed a small african nation. think about that.

  • It's not a symbian phone... it doesnt hv any card slot... so wat's so special about this phone..??! other than it is scratch resistant n all tat?

  • All you people keep complaining , forget about everything else , if you want a smart phone , or a phone that has bigger memory or longer lasting battery , go BUY ONE .. For the fact that you cant afford the 8800s , you decide to bag it . At the end of the the phone is a classy looking phone and has no problem's what soever , i myself have one and am loving it... whoever dosen't have one , i feel for ya , classiest looking phone iv'e seen. Enjoy your day Peeps . Dont hate what you cant have :)

  • wtf wtf wtf wtf is the matter with u lot u s-t heads like sonyerricson phones have style in ur dreams there all cheaply made === this fone is crafted in unique style for exclusive ppl ok millionaires who dont care abt anything else only style this fone has it all for them ===

  • One man food is another man poison However, just think of those tragedy struck people around the world. A mere scrape of food would be their meal for a day. Shame on you people posting all these rubbish. Since you all could afford handphone, ask yourself when was the last time you have donated to the poor. I would rather not have a phone and donate to the poor. Anyway just a not to all craving for nokia 8800. This phone only has a built in memory of 128mb, just like the fellow who say what a sight to see mother taking photos of her kids, sad to say he didn't stay longer to see the whole story, it would be something like this. Mother snap snap snap happily away, suddenly her children demands more photo shot but poor mother could do nothing more, cos' phone memory full. Could not delete any previously taken shot so hide the phone away and trick the kids to have ice-cream instead. Enough said. Enjoy for those with nokia 8800 and sweet dreams for those craving for one. God help those poor people who have none.

  • everybody is talking about the fact that 8800 scircco is not capapble of doing things that other "smart & full packed " phones can. i am very curious : what are the functions that outstand 8800 scirocco , that other phones have ? what you can do with other phones and that u can`t do with 8800 scirocco ? batery life poor stick with 6310i . I think that negative comentarie comes from people that cannot afford to buy this phone . like in clothing bussines (phones are considered an accesory this days ) style makes the difference . Also I am vaery curious how many people buy full packed phones and uses 100% of thei functions . CS

  • oh what a cheap fone . i rather use da exclusive nokia 1100 lolz

  • this phone is beautifull, i saw a woman holding it and taking a picture of her two young sons. it just brought a smile on my face. its a kinda phone that when you see it, you just say, wow.

  • hey guys come on .dis mobile is really great.u can spend lots of money for the model and color of dis mobile phones itself

  • This is the WORST mobile phone in the world the battery life is rubish thats why you get to batterys not worth the money !!!!!

  • ps... "I currently have a PDA, WHICH IS PERFECT FOR WHAT I NEED. I don't understand why people would actually go ahead and buy this handset... " ever thought about it that people just need it for calling somebody but want it to look good?? i dont think you have an old ugly looking palm... surely you chose a nice looking palm. "i also can say, why spend money on a bad looking phone with big screen and ugly as hell, if the name of the callers name is just displayed in the first line in tahome '8 bold??" i bet you dont drive a ford from 1956 just because its perfect for what you need it - driving around... think about it... youre not the only person with an opinion on this world... if you are, fly up to mars. then youll be the only one... regards

  • @ niel calling people a poser just because of the phone? if you dont have the money, dont spend it on the phone. if you have the money, but you dont like it, dont buy it. its easy as that. its my first post here. but i read them often... i myself work in a shop for mobile phones, and guess what, i own a sirocco too. i had the 8800 special edition before... and i liked it too. i like it just because of the looks. i have a m600 for bussiness and a w810 for normal calling and writen messages (i have to write alot to other countries). i had also a nokia e61 before... and i think ive changed and experienced more different phones than you even know they exist... the 8800 and especially the 8800 sirocco is, like a poster said here, a phone for people who like nice watches, nice cars and so on. if its important to me, ill spend my money. if its important to me, that my jeans are diesel jeans, and i like them, i wont go to a second hand shop. if its not important to you... fine, but dont blame others if you cannot afford it or you dont like it. i also wont say youre an idiot just because you like the new gforce because it looks better with it playing world of warcraft... share your impression and say "i dont like it, because im not into black, i like pink". people will accept it and maybe nokia will listen and produce a 8800 pink edition for you, but dont diss others because they like it more... rather go and buy a 7373... regards

  • too expensive for what it can do!!!

  • $400/- price of the phone $1,000/- you pay for the designer hired by Nokia. ........???

  • your saying that cause cant afford it...hehehe

  • This Phone is nothing but just a piece of Junk....Ohhh Come on Man i dont know y peoples r getting crazy about tht phone. Poor battery, Lack of functions, Much expensive.... Nothing Special....

  • The person who buys a Nokia 8800 Sirocco is a person who appreciates things such as Rolexes and Leica Cameras. It is well made, designed to last, works well as a phone (its primary purpose). For those who talk about superflous functions ... i have an N80 and E61 as well ... there OK, but the Sirocco is like owning a Rembrandt ... a design masterpiece!

  • Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition prices: Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition $1400 Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition* $3200

  • this phone is bullet proof i shot it on metal side 3 times with 5mm gun , and Nokia Sirocco 8800 is still alive if u don't belive contact me and i tell u photos of shot phone

  • Waste of money its an awesome phone but you could get the n95 for the same price, cheaper i think too and you could do so much more on the n95 dont buy this phone until the price drops or better yet not at all..

  • In response to Nokiaguy; Why? Why would you waste your money on something that is purely design? Do you really think that people care that you have an over-price yet under-specced handset? Sure it looks pretty n' all, but it's just a waste of money. Now, before you all start going on about how I have no taste, can't affod it etc - I own my own business and Am on here looking for a new phone. Secondly, I wear armani suits and Prada shoes. I currently have a PDA, which is prerfect for what I need. I don't understand why people would actually go ahead and buy this handset... Let's look at the facts: 1) It does nothing. 2) It's way too expensive. 3) It does nothing. Go ahead, buy it, try nd look cool with it, but enjoy people laughing at you and calling you a "poser"...

  • unique design..........beautifully crafted.

  • No. It's not available in 'gun metal' colour. It really is a B E A UTIFUL handset.... I'm going to buy it during next week.

  • please tell me if the batterylife is better than 8800. Anyone?

  • I agree with the Nokia guy.Its CHEAP and best,specially CHEAP.

  • is it available in gun metal colour?

  • no 3g....no Wlan....?

  • why are so many people complain about the price? can you compare this with a diamond?woman can spend thousands of dollar on a little pieces of diamond, why cant men spend $1000 on a phone that they use everyday? if you are one of the complainer, you are dont even have a taste on the design. you have to look at the design of this phone before you put any complaining on it, thanks.

  • I have old 8800, battery did not last long, I have to recharge battery every day. Pls tell me the new one.

  • i have this phone , is so good but the problem is small display and pure memory :S i bought it for 1400$ i sold my sony ericsson k800i and my nokia n73 only to buy it.

  • hey this is a very nice phone. not a great one. not quite a rich man's phone,just a nice phone. a rich man's phone includes diamonds etc ..custom made. this phone is for a pretentious man who respects himself.

  • so it�s not a symbian? is nokia turning is 80 series to a dumb-phone series?

  • ugly and expensive fone.. oh yeah.. and the display is tooooooooooooo small... nokia sucks!

  • Well, all of uz who aint got it juss hatin us whose got it so stop chatin shiz about ull get it free and all that on contract, coz its all about the amount of money u pay all about money u can afford it u king u cant u P***y simple as ...

  • this phone is slick. i bought it and it makes calls, so i'm happy. i don't care about the camera, or whether the phone has wi-fi or not. BUT seriously all you "rich people" need to stop with the spam posts on here about how you have so much money. if you actually do, then go buy a Goldvish, and stop posting your angry nonsense with odd grammar and spelling mistakes. you just sound like cracked out retards. go back to myspace and chat it up with your classless friends

  • This phone is simply beautiful.Though I wish it were a couple more mm thinner perhaps around the 16 or 15mm range, but I guess that is just a minor detail. I am also very satisfied with the battery life, which is greatly improved from the previous 8800. This phone is designed for looks and exclusivity not features or functions. If you want a special phone that very few people have get this one. Sure you can buy a lot of things a possibly a couple phones with the price tag of one Sirocco, but that is the price you have to pay for having a special limited edition phone and if you can't afford it don't go whining about how it's so expensive for limited functions and features.

  • we all know very well that this phone will eventually be free with a new service plan. so for those that are spending big bills for this phone, in a year or so i'll own one for free and i'll laugh at your crushed ego.

  • Listen here...i know deep down i cant afford this phone and even if i could i wouldnt even attempt to buy it anyway i dont need an expensive phone to buy mates cos when you have a body like mine people like you anyways..lol..and plus lads only get this phone so they can put it in there pocket to make them look bigger hahaha!!! Si Thi l8r

  • my mum is going to get this phone but i see it as a waste of time because you are nearly paying 900 pounds for a fone what is not doing anything that special i just wish that she wouldnt waste her money buying something that might not be that great in the futre some one please agree with me ^_^

  • To all those who whine over features, I suggest that you put up a business to the guys at Victorinox. hehehe

  • I have this phone. I love to show off that i am rich to my friends who cannot afford this phone. I like people asking me to see my phone cause I know I have it and they're jealous. I strive for the attention it brings me and I am even happier for the jealously it causes. I love the fact people say its expensive, but deep inside they want it too. Most important I love this phone.

  • EXACTLY wat ive been sayin LOL heheh thats funny! if u cant afford it than STOP complaining u KNOW its ALLL THAT n MORE n if u would have tha money YOU WOULD get yall know it! ;))) so BOO to u allll i THINK its like..

  • hey guys...im gnna get one of these soon...but the thing dats eatin me is...wad is Sirocco !?!? is he/she some designer...? reallly wanna knw...

  • well to start i must admit it is a good looking phone, but i am afraid that is the end of it, to start with how can a phone not have expandable memory, and this list goes on. a phon is not only a shiny housing, but also need to match up with todays technology, but the fact is what does women know about it? i guess just the fact of it being shiny appeal to them. now friend i guess you could find out which corner you belong and see which phone fits you. to nokia i must say i think you guy living in a different world, no competition to Sony Erricson or Samsung at this rate, come on girls do buy this phone

BUT heeck yeah its H-O-T H-O-T H-O-T!! ;))) peace to yall nooo mattter wat anyone says bout this phone i think its tha hootest n most of u would agree wt me! :))

  • SIROCCO DIAMOND looks like a pimp phone, no offence to those who have it but it just like the nokia 8800 in everyway with a few changes. I've seen it and it's bling bling, might impress a hooker but those who like to be smart and have brains wouldn't go for it but hay everyone to them selves. The price is steap too and the girl who brought the 8800 sorocco and said no one could afford the h/set sounds like a guy pretending to be a girl for definate and you probably bought the h/set on a orange contract as well and to say you can't afford the h/set must be a lil tapped in there head because you don't know any of our finances in here and some of us are quite wise. What i want to see is a nokia 8800 which has everything like 3g, better camera and wifi. If nokia could do all that and make it look similar then I'm a happy man and I'll buy it.

  • i like it it's really 4 elite i got one now after the normal 8800

  • hey guys did u kno that the nokia 8800 SIROCCO DIAMOND is in the market now i jut got it yesterday is so kool i luv it.....

  • hey the pfone has goood design I mean EXCELLENT design but the fact is it has no good features. 1.no infrared 3.no card slot what is a phone without one of those things why pay so much when you can't even increase memory and to LEO

LOVE YOU BABE!! MMUAH.... 8800 IS HOT!!! :)))

  • Fantastic piece of machine

  • It's a nice phone. Does anyone knows the price?? I found it at a price of 800 euros.

  • The nokia 8800 sorocco phone looks cool but to be honest its no that advanced than the nokia 8800. I work with mobile phones and get to test the phones out, not impressed with the sorocco and no big changes. Nokia are running out of ideas, when you bring out a upgrade to the 8800 you meant to make the h/set million times better not just improve it on minor parts like the camera. I'll stick with my 8800

  • stupid phone for stupid peolple who just want to show off!though i like the design... but why buy something just because it`s goodlooking.it`s just like having a hot,sexy wife but very,very stupid.but when you come to think about it...

  • i had a sharp 903. that was a very cool phone, fully featured pack. but then i didn't want a phone with all the 3g, great mp3 with memory card, large 3mp camera staff. and this is the whole point.you can get whatever you want and like. why say is so expensive and has nothing to offer??? this phone makes every other phone look cranky and plastiky. and is soo beaituful. and in the end if you want a good mp3 player get an ipod or something. if you want a good camera get a digital camera.

  • This phone is gash.

  • Nice Design! Poor Features! Too Expensive! 1 point for Good and 2 points for Bad... Winner? Bad! I wud rather have the N93

  • This phone is all about image, if you like playing around with a piece of plastic and some rubbery cheap button, this phone isnt for you. If you live in a little house and dont earn any money, buy something else. This phone is for people who sort the business out, and can spend their money buying beautiful things. To the other people, try sonyeric , or something like that and leave the worry about the price to the big timers.

  • I have read the comments on this website. I can see both side of the arguments, It is a expensive phone, and does not have all ther functions of the 6280. I have actualy brought this phone it cost me the following �100 To pay towards it And �35 a month on Dolphin 35 ( orange ) I get 500 mins and 500 txts However because i have a friend who works at orange i have managed to get 40% of my line rental, so actualy it costs me �21 a month SCORE!!! It look lovely It works great very easy to use. And the battery lasts 3 days before it needs a charge!!!! Whats the problem??? Nice phone did not cost much, if you dont agree with that you just cant afford the initial �100!! And when i come to sell it it will still be worth loads! So buy one from Moco Cellink 0800662626

  • I think its a cool phone. But a phone that expensive should have expandable memory so you can do more stuff with it. My verdict.. Its an ornament for those who want to show off. Love it though!

  • lots of considerations b4 getting this phones. yet despite the negativity, and the 'value for money' philosophy i decided to get 1. i can't say i'm impressed with the tech. being offered in this phone. i may have gone with O2 stealth, or HP windows-based smart pda/phone, but i didn't. 1 thing for sure, owning a sirocco makes u feel damn 'powerful'. i love that feeling. it's like having paris hilton as a girlfriend. or perhaps having sex with a royalty. my suggestion is u buy it if u feel like it. flirt with it for sometime, then trade it in. if u decide to own it, then don't regret it.

  • a good and nice model to see moreover its cool

  • mate the battery dont last 4 or 5 days,. dont get me wrong it is a vast improvement to the old 8800 but i use my sirocco for 30 mins on average a day and sometimes i can scrape 2 days of battery life out of it but there is no way you are gettin 4 or 5 days. Other than that this phone is the bomb for true g's

  • i just got the sirocco 8800 it's realy good, the battery lasts 4-5 days with a medim usage of 30-40 minutes/per day... great look... i am please with it ( the original 8800 battery was realy crap , i had to change the battery twice a day...)

  • in india it costs approx. rs. 44,000 !!! :O why the heck will i buy a phone with mere 2 MP camera & lousy 128 mb non-expandable memory :( common, nokia should get more "PRACTICAL", i agree its "DESIGNER" phone but why price it alomost 4 times its equvalent phones !!!

  • This is very elegant phone it suits for the people in the planet earth who can afford. For those who cannot, please I mean please keep your mouth shut. Every individual has its own taste perhaps your's different. But I dont care I love this Phone..

  • Don't know what kind of "business needs" include having to change your battery after every 2 hrs + of talk-time. If you take the fact that business men are busy people who don't always have access to a power source into account, the phone is reduced to nothing more than a cosmetic marvel. I'd get one for my wife- just like Kobe Briant did under circumstances simiar to mine :-(

  • a pityful piece of technology with outstanding finishing touches. Ideal for those high on fashion and low on technology.

  • This is a very luxurious and high-end phone for those who can afford it. Those who keep attacking people who buy this phone should keep quiet. Don't judge people for how they spend their money, they earned it, not you. Perhaps you cannot afford it? Also this phone hasn't dropped to 400 USD yet. It is still in it's high 900's and 1000's. It's indeed a very high class phone to have. Small, elegant, luxurious, one-of-a-kind. Functions might not be that great, but it suits all business needs.

  • thats realy very good but increase price

  • I'd rather go for the Moto K1 for style&look and pay just 1/3 the price and get more features and asleast there's nothing like it for a moment or if I like Nokia then I'd rather go for the original Silver 8800...wake up folks,Sirroco is not a good fone as its price has dropped USD 400 since released only few months ago :-) :-) :-) ./.

  • what is the difference between bluetooth v1.2 and bluetooth v2.0?

  • it's so perfect...please,have mercy...i want one!! :((

  • hey how about the battery stnd by as d previous models sucks when it comes to battery stand by

  • what about prints after touching this phoe...that suckkss!!!

  • this is the best set g

  • Typical phone for the people from the "eastern" part of the world that want the most expensive things (not neccessary the best in this case) for free.

  • Another thing that makes me laugh on here is when people say "You just slating it coz you cant afford it" Well, most people will either try and get it for free or if you do pay for it you are just sad. We just have better things to spend our money on, example is better clothes or cars, not a "shiny" phone which all the "eastern" people want!!

  • Sirocco is much more of a Designer Phone rather than your average cellphone with special edition tones and wallpaper with additional unique tweaks. It's a rather impressive and eye stoping phone. Get it if your wallet allows you to, you won't regret it.

  • the 8800 and 8801 are pretty much the same phone - the latter is just for the american markets and is apparently 1mm thicker (maybe because it has to hosue a different type of antenna?).

  • just got my hands on the Stylish Nokia 8800 Sirocco. amazing phone after using the 8800 this fone was just amazing cant compare any other phone with this the build quality the leather case everything is just perfect best fone by Nokia after 8800

  • This mobile phone is the number one

  • there isnt one, only connectivity to pc would be by bluetooth

  • I didn'n get the usb cable.Am i not suppose to get one?Can Anyone let me know please.

  • Very exquisite phone by Nokia, for those who are not in the business field or fashion. Features are not as full comparded to N series because this is mainly a business oriented phone. Breath taking. Beautiful.

  • "Anup Debnath Its possibly the most expensive phone available untill now. But its got everything dude!!!. Can't see any reason to complain. If you have got the cash then its for you" Did you ever saw Vertu phone features and prices? I dont think it so... lmao.

  • tooooo expensive, weak in options(compared with n73)

  • I think that this phone has a class design and i didn't expect this for a NOKIA phone so thumbs up for me

  • Using my Sirocco for 2months now,very good phone but It'd be better if Nokia adds memory card slot+Pop port connector. To Nick,the different between Nokia 8800 and 8801 is the frequency(the housing is lightly different too:the 8801 is a bit fatter but a bit lighter than 8800/8800 is built a bit thicker),8801 supports Gsm 850 so it works better in the US,as Asian countries(VN)use Gsm 900/1800 then the reception is very weak(sometime no reception at all),I've used a 8801 in Australia(Gsm 900/1800) and had the same problem.That's why price of 8801 is much cheaper than 8800.Go for 8800 if you want to use it in Asia.

  • Its possibly the most expensive phone available untill now. But its got everything dude!!!. Can't see any reason to complain. If you have got the cash then its for you

  • raphael omilidi thats not a joke, its true, check out at nokia website.

  • lot overpriced, i would get that moto rarz with gold housing.

  • "To people who don't know: this phone was a Nokia tribute to Rocco Siffredi, since Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo (current Nokia president) is a big fan of him and his movies." thats really true or you are kidding??? thats was bizarre lmao...

  • The phone is just an over-expensive business tool, ment to show the status of the person wieldieng it. Poor design(IMHO), good-normal functions, it just does its job. The only thing I don't like in it is it's name. Am I alone or someone else thought that "Sirocco" is just...aaa...dumb??? It's some type of desert wind. Difficult to pronounce. Ex: -I whant this nice, black Nokia -Which one sir? -It's called...I'm gonna' screw this up...Siroc... Sir... Damn!!! NOKIA are finnish, the name doesn't suit them at all.

  • this phone mings i would rather have a k800i they are so much smarter that this bit of tin

  • Please can anyone tell me what's the difference between the Nokia 8800 & the 8801? Which one should i buy & why? Which one can be use in asia(Vietnam)??? Thx a lot, really appreciate peeps

  • wow man a little harsh dat wan it?? im a Chav n dunt like dis fone its terrible not as good as D900 dats a real fone!!

  • shut up to whoever tried sayin a moto v3 and lg chocolate have better or more features on them, that is rubbish. the sirocco has a better camera than both, same memory as chocolate and more than a v3. thats all people seem to care about on this site anyway so i aint even gonna bother adding to the list why the sirocco is better, so just stop with ur yappin patner

  • As per below Opinion What is a Chav? 'chav' (slang) - a young person, often without a high level of education, who follows a particular fashion; Chavs usually wear designer labels including the chav favourite 'Burberry', and if they�re girls, very short skirts, large hoop earrings and stilettos. Chavs see branded baseball caps as a status symbol and wear them at every opportunity. Normally found hanging around shopping centres. Also known as Townies, Kevs, Hood Rats, Charvers, Steeks, Stigs, Bazzas, Yarcos, Ratboys, Chorer, Skangers, Scutters, Janners, Kappa Slappers, Scallies, and Spides. Also known as Neds in Scotland, knackers & skangers in Ireland, and Guidos in the USA

  • Two words - Chav's phone

  • Sirocco is a sort of a desert wind.

  • To people who don't know: this phone was a Nokia tribute to Rocco Siffredi, since Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo (current Nokia president) is a big fan of him and his movies.

  • This phone indeed is a phone with pride and bring status to someone who use it. You will hardly find any youngster using this phone cos it does not give feature. But it give a standard, a class and also it bring a position to user. I sure Nokia should improve the sim card slot. It take me more than half an hour to remove my sim card.

  • i totally agree with everyone who have negative view on this phone. except for the material used in making this phone, there is nothing to cheer about, feature-wise. The first 8800 did not do well and i don't know why they come out with this one. maybe nokia's warehouse are stock with so many units and spare parts for the latter model they have to introduce this model so they can dispose the overflowing stocks. if their intention is to target the high end market, they should learn from motorola's v3 razr phone or maybe to a certain extend, LG's chocolate phone. two phones that have more or better features and does not cost a lot and yet is attracting a lot of buyers from the high end market.

  • i am going to buy 10 units for christmas give-aways.

  • 8800 Sirocco...just 2 sum this fone up! Its like goin 2 a strip club, paying bucks 2have a sexy girl 2do things but at the end of the day she really dont do anything! But go elsewhere n pay a fraction of the � and get 10times as much...need i say more! 8800/8800 Sirocco just sells on looks really...its a vain phone with no real personality...hmmm, just like all the buff chicks i know, lol!

  • this phone just looks great, not just great, for me there is no better looking phone. if you want a phone with a lot of features this is not your phone. you cant say its a crab phone though, why people say that. go get a phone that is 3g, with big screen and memory slot and be happy about it. if you want a slim phone with stainles steal body with great looks this is the one.

  • Ok... I bought this phone pretty much as soon as it came out. loved the style and decided to go for a phone that was uber style since I don't need many fnctions and... it's crap. All I use phone for is texting, calls and the odd photo, so thought this'd be perfect. Call quality's crap, really buzzy & signal awful (city centre!). Texting's a nightmare since they keypad's bad & the navi key... I have very skinny fingers & its still awful. Screen's really small and low res.... covered in fingerprints even using case. included Bluetooth headset's crap call quality too. Battery's not good (still). & it's really slow doing anything on it. Looks fantastic (clean) I'll give it that. But even if you want a phone phone with looks... it's got looks but it's not a very good phone! Overhyped. underperforming. Waste of money. Very disappointed. Getting a Sony Ericsson!

  • you wanna stylish phone, wait till NEC e363 comes out. i don't get what the obsession is with overpriced phone with a blimp looking slider. then again i don't get why pay $500 for a Prada t-shirt on sale that looks like sh*t either. go figure

  • u techno u r always gonna stay as techno geeks this phone is for the real playas hustlers who dont care about technology and they care about how they look style fashion ok u lot r opposite to that haahahahahaha

  • Yep Yep single, sexy and sleek... You want this phone you gotta have the bling. Yeah so it's a bit pricier.. but hey you got the money honey? It's there for the taking.. lurve the camera....

  • i buy everything if i like how it looks like, that's why i bought this phone. can i be blamed for likeing something? the money is mine, i can do everything i want with it.

  • "how come the battery still piece of S*it" because nokia knows people will buy it anyway. my Motorola KRZR K1 lasts almost a week if i spread out talk time and looks just as desirable with even more features at 1/3 the price.

  • this is crap she is too expencive i will not buy it shee cost 1200 euro

  • scheryar how much- have u a # to call on?>

  • nice phone,very elegant...suited for young professionals...try this and u'll like it!u

  • how come the battery still piece of S*it

  • This phone is the most over priced and over rated piece of polished scrap metal i have ever come across...! If you want value for money buy a computer. It costs less and does more!

  • Scratch resistant screen? Bring it on

  • LOL Why do u "love" this phone so much... I don't know if this info is accurate, but this battery time is totally UNsatisfying... And no memorystick?! WTF, are u from the 18th century :O? Only the design looks somewhat cool, but it's girlish IMO - might be cool for girlz, cuz they don't know anything 'bout phonez, they look only for design, while we, boys, need more gadgets :D! W800i is da best fone eva :)

  • Yh dis fone well nyc wun of da best most sexiest design ive seen and yh da screen TFT wow! liking it like no other has had a screen with that reesoltuioon this is da next generatio nwhether it has good quality games like series 60 or not da design is so smove and having a phone is al abt pride of it not showing wah it can do with this fone i would feel sooo good and i kno u will..

  • this phone is so sexy with black colour_small cute_looks high standard and not too expensive.

  • As u see this sirrico mobile and i love it wish to every one have or want's to have hear good new's when they answer their phones i wish i by this cell phone 2.\ Wihs u all the best dear all

  • I am telling you this phone will not drop to sub 1000 AUD. The 8800 didn't! This phone is supposed to make you feel good about yourself, usually because you have to make up for lack of other things!!!!! ;)

  • not a bad phone at all

  • this phone is cute and beauty rich mobile phone in the market, money is nothing if you have a good account bank # and you can get it then do it, and remember they made the mobile phone for calling not as a pc calling ? you can buy a computer if you like you can buy a sony djt camera but this one i think its great + the old 8800.

  • wonder when the price of the phone will come down.

  • the sirocco is a good way, has no features more of a stylish phone and only used as a fashion accesorie. also the price is extremely too high. I have got the s/e k800i really good phone excellent camera.

  • the phone is already available on o2. has been for a while

  • sexy phone,good looks,nice configurations.

  • i have this phone..the thing is the slide is jammed,before i cant open it now if i pened it i cant close it...so im just going to buy N-93..i hope it wont give me problems anymore!

  • Has anyone had any problems with this phone like button getting stuck or really low battery life?? I had the 8800 and I had to send it back and get refund as had so many problems with it I want to know if they have fixed these issues and this is the better version of the phone to get?? Can anyone help

  • and another thing anyone who is willing to spend what it takes to get THIS phone ( that has no good features..i.e 2hours talk time) has clearly got too much money... and no sense.... cant you give to charity or something..... i kno buy a hobby

  • looks nice but the price makes me puke.

  • thats tight hobo's although a newer version has been announced next summa with expandable memory, nows thats some tight sh*t, BUT 8800 is a poor mans Vertu and a Beggars Goldvish, so ill just stick to my goldvish. Luvvv ya'll KC - Russia

  • this handset is garbage- look at the talk time guys ok its a nce looking handset but the handset features are absolutley rubbish- k800i much better phone- rating out of 10 is 3

  • It's not even that pretty... Looks a bit on the gay side if you ask me... 303

  • Sleek design, it will make you look like a winner when you have this phone but the only downside is the max application mem is only 1MB. Better get the rare black N73. it's like the owning a talked about sports car on the market that hasn't been released yet.

  • FURTHER TO THIS COMMMENT BELOW ABOUT THE GUY WANTING A CHARCOAL 8800 DO US ALL A FAVOUR!! SHUT UP... get the charcoal version and if your housing gets damaged good luck getting it replaced!! The sirocco Overcomes all the 8800's its just the daddy of phones right now, like the mohammed ali of boxing. its looks and style is a knockout

  • well to me this phone is just so-so. bought a 8910i previously and now thinkin to change. what i dont like about the sirocco version is the shinny glossy finish. reminds me of 8810 but in black. i am sure all 8000 series nokia are considered as style with substance phone but i think i would rather buy 8800 limited edition the grey charcoal color than this siricco. it looks kinda been there done that.

  • this phone is sik, evrytime i ev a luk, a wan it moore might av t invest init

  • yh well this phone is not for virgins or anything ===== its for people with style and money and its slogan is EXCLUSTIVITY COSTS hello du u understand it its for rich people who have style

  • This phone should be renamed the Nokia 8800 Sucker free Series... cus there are sooooo many haters... Death b4 Dishonour 8800 We love you

  • this phone is made for the daddies, the pimps the hustlers. first stop the hating, fare enuf it mite not have the greatest memory for songs and tons of other crap. but we use phones for what they shud be (a phone). the only people who disrepect this phone are those who are cheap and second those who are geeks. big up the sirocco massive

  • c'mon every nokia fan can realize that this phone's price is a swindle

  • if you say you done like the 8800 then it's only because you can not aford one so there

  • this fone is for pimps not SONYERRISCSONS this 8800 is for people who have style and taste == unlike sonyerrison fans there just GIMPZ

  • my husband bought dis ...n i feel happy beyound words coz he found smethin he had been lookin for since the past 5 years...this set is simply beautiful ..have no wrds to describe ittt!!!

  • What is the the thing with this phone i still don't get it! why pay so much money for this phone, i would really get my self a N95 Look's the best for the moment. This is my opinion, 10x

  • only good thing about this phone is it looks good, everything else is rubbish. only show offs get this phone! there is alot better out there, so there

  • The epitome of form over function. A poor mans Vertu.

  • i've had the phone for three weeks and i love it.it's a bit heavy and the battery life is pretty bad but it does look good.call me shallow but it's true.

  • seriously... 8800se ringing in da middle of the room 100% will silen the crowd.

  • once again, I'm a gangsta. i cannot be SEEN by PEOPLE n got no pride with 1100, or TOYS like n95. n93. This phone is phone is kinda for us people n our rich buddies out there.! so GO 8800SE!!!! we'll back u up!!!!

  • I guess that someone who can afford for real to pay $28000 for a cellphone, has a different lifestyle than most people have. It curios how someone who bought such a phone feel the need to show off on this forum. Maybe he's just laying about it to empower an imaginar character, or simply he doesn't got the attention he needs in real life...

  • *snigger* Paying so much just for being unique. Real smart.

  • hi my name is talha.i am not posting any review there but just wants to ask something.i wants to know how to flash mobile softwares and how to install a new one i will be really thankful to u all.plz tell me any website site or anything other thing can give all information about it ok bye my email adress is [email protected] ok bye

  • Sirocco stole my heart when i first read abt the release of it at here.... but too bad still sirocco no where be seen in malaysia even at kl bummer.... For myself i do like to be unique coz ppl here around me not n-70, n73 or k750, k810 or k800 and i kinda bored seeing them and dun think will follow the majority. since i got myself an O2 atom for my daily campus life and wan this sirocco baby to steal the lime light just as old time with my 8910 where mono phones dominate the markets.... got to save for this baby. nokia really wicked ^^

  • look here people, one thing i could tell u is that i am a vertu user, the gold signature seriouse, and i love it, it is worth every penny of the $28,000 dollars that i paid for it, one thing i could tell u is that i just bought the sirocco in black like 2 weeks ago and i have to tell u i loved it so much that just 2 days ago i went ahead and bought the silver one for my third number. so as my opinion, its a awsome phone. go out there and buy one for your self

  • no thanks, i already own a Motorola KRZR K1.

  • Hi all! i used this phone 4 2 weeks now and trust me its crap! i bought it in greece for 890 euro. before that i owned 8800 silver which i sold 10 days after i bought it. the phone had several problems. first of all the included bluetooth headset didnt work. i had to spent time to go back to nokia shop to complain so that they would change it. now i m waiting allready 14 days. the phone worked the first days right. after 5 days people couldnt hear me and i didnt get any signal. i missed lots of importanr phones because of that crap. i went back to nokia shop where they informed me that there was a problem with the electronics of the phone. i m sick and tired with nokia. their mobiles always need updates have software probs etc. i use an k800 too and its magnificent. MY ADVICE SAVE UR MONEY AND DONT BUY THIS CRAP OR ELSE U LL B SORRY LIKE ME. I VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH ALL THE EXPENSIVE NOKIA PHONES BUT NO MORE. I LL NEVER BUY A NOKIA AGAIN

  • this phone ia an absoloute bag of crap, why would you pay so much for such little features, and to be honest i wouldt even say it looks that good,and before people start replying saying i couldnt afford one so shut up, i can afford one but i choose not to buy one, i would rarther have an n73 or n95 when it is released, a phone that is actually up to date with the features that are available at the moment. this phone is just for posers, people who think they are loaded and like to show off, its pathetic the amount of people on here saying its a great phone, get a grip people

  • Just got it. Great phone but i cant find the e mail client in the messaging options to set up my e mail. Can someone help?

  • Just got it. Great phone but i cant find the e mail client in the messaging options to set up my e mail. Can someone help?

  • it is gooood

  • Well I've seen Vertu @ Haroods London but I really didn't like the set it self but I do love the Sirocco

  • Unbelievable this phone is great! Its like what celebrities should have and u get every pennys worth!

  • Who ever says that this phone is the most beautiful in the world surely didn't see a Vertu! :)) Ofcourse price differs, but just the way it does Sirocco with other phones! So who ever says that this is the most beautiful phone think again! Cheers!

  • dont be haters this fone is gangsta! face it, it does what a phone should do, who cares if its not a digital camera, not an mp3 player. its a phone, it makes and receives calls and texts, but it does it in style!

  • The nokia sirocco is ok i would not say that is the best phone in the world.The only thing that is good about it has got a very excellent design the camera is more improved but it has not got a flash basically this phone is has been improved in its camera nothing else.

  • great

  • Just got this phone and is amazing totally worth the money and cant see why anyone else would want something else!e.g a plastic n73!

  • i need see a silver Colors picture

  • oh josh..i do thoroughly agree as we discussed previously the sirrocco's features are more current than its predessecor and thats why i feel many ppl believe the Sirocco is behind but with like u said a bigger internal memory than most current handsets and a 2mp camera which other manufacturers are still using on new phones...whats not current??ppl who say this phone is rubbish are, the people who cant afford the phone and eat spam.steve

  • yes jamie you might as well as go out and get one if you want a plastic phone with all the features. Name the features the sony ericsson has over it that are so good? 128mb is more than adequate to store a lot of pictures and vids, and the camera is more than adequte. get a grip toy phone lover!

  • i dont see why anyone would pay the �600 box price for this phone, the screen is tiny, the case gets covered in finger prints the second you look at it, and its features are poor. you might as well go out and get a decent sony ericson, might not look as nice, but the features are far better, and if i breaks, you could buy another without going over the cost of on 8800

  • people dont get cheatd by hoping on d extrior appearance of dis set its interior segmen is very bad and poor.

  • looks nice buts thats about it!!!! battery is extremely poor as all the other users would have said.

  • this phone is the worst made phone ever the features are the best and most advanced but the quality of the material tat theyve made it from is worst than my grandmas incontinence pants its so cheap tacky and easily damaged why dont nokia take note and make a phone out of durable,hard wearing material such as the heyday of nokia 5140i., why they chose to make this phone in recycled lightweight plastic ill never know?? by all means by this phone but dont cry when its cracked and falling to pieces after a day or two.its your choice

  • got my sirocco yesterday. i would not dare to say its the best phone around but its just next to it. compact, sleek, simple, elegant and phone with personality. all those who are looking for features packed in a phone please loose your pocket and get yourself O2 XDA EXEC (I-MATE JASJAR and available under various names).

  • at the end of the day you dont buy an nokia 8800se coz of what it does you buy it for what it looks like

  • I have the 8800 and everyone seems to moan about it etc.. and when the sirocco came out the same thing.. this phone is a fashion symbol.. its not practical if you need a reliable handset.. its a evening and weekend phone.. people are really getting on my dam nerves.. you woundnt by a hummer and then say it drinks to much petrol.. when you buy high market phones like the 8800 and sirocco they are designed to be a fashion statement, the battery doesnt last long because its a phone to be used in the evening.. i work in a phone shop and to be honest all phones nowadays are crap and thats my honest opinion

  • This phone is a celebrity phone,Featurewise it's rubbish but its the page 3 model of nokia's,It's stylish n sexy, and has a sleek body. Shame about features.

  • I returned my 8800SE. It was just far too overpriced and heavy with terrible battery life. I then came across a dealer offering the Motorola KRZR K1 and picked it up for less than 1/3 the price! I've been a Nokia fan all my life after getting ripped off on garbage Motorola phones like the V635 but they've finally gotten their act together. The KRZR is built great, better than any Moto including the RAZR V3. And best of all I'm getting far longer battery life than I ever did with the 8800SE. The software isn't perfect but I'm getting used to it. Such a stylish little phone, Motorola's really showing their engineering muscle by getting more features than the 8800SE into a smaller package. Anyway, you can see the phone here on GSMArena:

  • FAO - ian frey go for a K800i or W850i mate, i've had W850i for 3 days now and i've got 62% battery left, only problem is no autofocus on camera i'm tempted to go for the K800i in silver though, only problem with that is the joystick, size and weight i'm still undecided but these 2 are the best by far, Nokia are has-beens mate, i was a nokia nut until i saw the light when i got my old SE hope that helps!

  • why whats up with the N80? personally for features i like the n73 and looks the 8800 sirocco. depends wether you are eligible free of charge.

  • Hi Simon, what would you recomend, i'm not looking to buy a 8800, but i have an N80, which is crap and network are changing it for something else, just not sure for what.

  • recieved my handset this morning on an o2 staff account. very impressed with the handset. On charge at the moment. Great looking handset, feels excellent quality and is packaged in a way that makes it feel special. Handset has all the features i need and hopefully won't be as deathly slow and freeze all time time like my n70.

  • The most beautifull phone in the world!!!

  • hey all! i use this fone for 3 weeks now. i used to own 8800 too which i sold the third day i had it. i bought scirocco for 850 euros in greece. now about my opinion. scirocco unlike 8800 does not have any software problems. my 8800 did restart itself from the first day, and trust me i dont like buying a 900 euros phone and being forced to wait 2 days to get an update. the battrey of scirocco is far better. it lasts 2 and a half days with pretty heavy use. one big pro is that this phone shine perfectly nice in black and people notice it a lot. not about my dislikes. its a bit heavy which isnt a problem for me. u cant change the color of the bars of battery and reception and this is stupid cause brown doesnt match all the savers. can any1 tell me if i use new software will i b able to change their color? at last the camera and the screen. the camera isnt good art all. i combared it with k750i and it was half as good. at the end i must say that the bluetooth in my scirocco didnt work and i had to take it back. also when i bought my 8800 my desk charger didnt work either. i strongly believe that when i spend 900 euros for a phone i expect to get the quality i pay for. thats all. by the way i use an se k800 too, and trust this phone is magnificent. so my conclusion scirocco is a good expensive fone with not many good features to use it only as a phone. its very beautifull though!

  • This phone is a pile, people go for the looks but can you tell me what you see that i don't ? The original 8800 and this have the worst battery life and on the market, have very few worthwhile features and they're extremely heavy for their size. And before you dismiss my comments i work for a UK mobile phone network, not saying which one, so i know my stuff. It amazes me how many people ring up like "i want this phone and nothing else i'm not interested what you've got to say i don't want anything else" - these are the people who want to cancel their contract after 2 months saying the phone is Sh*te. Never mind eh, as long as one of your friends stupidly thinks it's ace and your cool, and that makes you warm and fluffy inside, that's all that matters yeah ?!

  • 8800 sirocco isn`t good as 8800

  • nokia 8800 is very disponting it has a very short talking time and the battery does not give a warning before dieing out... its ****

  • This phone is for people who want a status symbol but can't afford a Vertu. It's as simple as that.

  • I am very dissappointed that having purchased this phone as a present for my wife, that it does not have a 'normal'ring tone that is loud enough to hear when it is in her handbag.

  • I have the 8800 sirocco black and silver, i still think the normal 8800 is better to use

  • funny how nokia sirocco is getting such low ratings... how expensive it is shouldnt affect how you guys rate it... i guess you hate what you cant get right

  • This is the most expensive "mobile" i've ever seen: 1080 euros!

  • The STYLE, the BEAUTY, the CLASS and the COLOR. I love this phone. If it was possible to marry one I would :P

  • I used to have the normal 8800 and then i purchased the 8800 sirocca. The battery seems is 10 times better. The little software improvements are also a good additonal touch.

  • Wow....beauty Nokia mobile phone,it ladies phone right?someone can told me a price?...but it don't got a 3G,and not using for memory card just 128 built in memory only,i think my girl friend will like for it....it the smart choice smart present for my girl birthday

  • I see alot of people whining! previously I had 2 standard silver 8800's and they were honestly the best phones I have ever owned. People on one half are complaining that the phone has no features, your being scammed, nokia have just stuck a metal case on a phone and charged a stupid price... -these people dont have the spare cash to afford a decent phone.. sorry guys! arwww :( maybe sometime in the future eh? ur stuck with big bulky 'smart phones' when people like me have actual GPS in there cars.. ACTUAL powerful apple laptops that piss on your symbian, and a very powerful mobile phone that commands respect and is worthy of being an everyday accesorry without being just one more cheap plasticky bit of technology that plagues your pocket! ...and on the other half we have the people that have clear experience with these phones! if you have used a normal 8800 then you will know the quality you are getting.. i believe the slide on the normal 8800 was developed by a f1 racing engineering team, the glass was scratch resistant! the weight just added to the feel of 'old school' quality! the screen was amazing it was perfect for viewing in bright sun or in the dark! so now imagine the sirocco with its 2mp digital camera, because all i do is want to be able to catch a quick snapshot of a moment that i wouldnt be able to pull out my digital camera at and i want to make and recieve calls and send text! my current phone at the moment however is the n73... what a tacky piece of shit! its goin back tomoro! i need the sirocco! a real phone! they are NOT smart phones... so sorry all you geeky installing apps and posting on symbian forum types... this clearly isnt for you! stick to your gay smart phones that develop lots of problems and need to be reflashed all the time! My pocket has: Apple Ipod Nano. - music. Nokia 8800 - Communication. My lifestyle permits: Audi TT Quatro - travel. Apple powerbook - internet, business, email. if you drive a opel/vauxhall corsa... and u have a big dry desktop sitting there.. yeh yeh! smartphone! yay! lets pack more features than we can possibly safely do into a cheap tacky shell that one drop, and everything is corrupt and needs to be sent back! does your phone turn itself on and off again? do you have restrictions on apps being installed? does your autofocus 3mp digital camera inside your phone take too long to actually focus and take the shot? by this time its a big blur on your screen? if you go online with your phone does your battery finish in an hour and a half? ...heres the solution! accept it! its clear this phone is out your reach! hahahahahahaah!

  • i saw this one at store yesterday it seems like..a cry far from being "chocolate" not beautiful at all this phone got 6 from 10 chocolate got 9.9 from 10 siemens SL91 got 9 from 10

  • hello, my unit is 8800, is it possible to upgrade my cel into 2mega pxl like the 8800Sirocco... or if not, increasing the memory of my unit will do.

  • the nokia does look good but its not as cracker decker as the samsung e900.i have this fone in pink and would not change it for the world.up the tele tubbies.

  • to Jules I had excattly the same problem with the ECHO. i have emailed you with waht i found, but sadly i dont think there is a cure?!

  • i bought this handset yesterday and i have been waiting for it since the day it was announced and seen my first glimpse of it. the battery does seem to be better and as ive heard from my friends who have it also have all liked it and all given good reviews about this phone. some people dont like it but if you have had the original 8800 then this is a must according to me. you will see and feel the difference. overall.... i must say i love this phone.

  • vertu is by nokia
