ALL PHONES MAKE CALLS. ONLY A FEW DO IT WITH STYLE.
 Yet
another handset introduced by Nokia. The new eight
series handset- NOKIA 8800. An extremely appealing stylish
phone which anybody and everybody would like to own. Though
not light in weight, it would be prefered by all because of
its eye-catching appearance.
It is operated by Triband-GSM 900/1800/1900.
The phone weighs 134g which is slightly on the heavier side
but is sleek otherwise. It carries a brush finished stainless
steel cover which when opened reveals an integrated SVGA
camera (0.5 megapixel) on the back side of the
phone. It thereby reveals an attractive keypad on the front.
It measures 107x45x16.5mm. The Display shows off its class
with the inclusion of 262K colour TFT display having
a resolution of 208x208 pixels that provide clear colours
in a Series 40 software. Nokia 8800 has a provision

to be considered pretty adequate.

It has exlusive user interface, themes and styles.
The 8800 stands up proudly to show off its Scratch
proof screen to ensure that it keeps its elegance living
up for a longer duration.
Considering that the phone arguabaly proves to be over
the edge of all other Series 40 conterparts, how would
someone resist this inevitable beauty? But just before we
jump into any conclusions, we would like to let you know about
the drawbacks of this irresistable handset.
 First
of all, the phone is an expensive deal. Besides the
clarity of the images clicked by the 0.5 megapixel SVGA
camera is not as satisfactory as it should be.
The phone is made of a different phone menu, unlike the other
handsets introduced by Nokia. The New Menu is
introduced under the context of making the User access
easier, but on the contrary it makes it difficult
for the users who have been using Nokia handsets in
the past, to access the Applications and Menu. Although
Nokia claims a Battery life of 160 mins of talktime
and 8 days stand-by time, sources revealed that
the Nokia 8800 lasted for 60 mins of talktime and
2 days of stand-by time. To overcome this drawback Nokia
provides an extra battery with the sales package. Imaging
changing the battery while you are on the move.
But the 8800 handset doesnt loose its attractiveness,
in the presence of its elegant screen, Stainless steel finishing
and the luxurious lookz. So, that is Nokia unvieling the sheer
elegance, the 8800.
