User Review for Nokia 8800 Sapphire Arte
Nice looking luxury phone
Jan 5, 2008Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Stylish, Elegant, Light Weight
Cons: Cannot add additional memory, battery does not last long, expensive
Opinion:
I do not have this unit. I had it's predecessor the first Nokia 8800. The first time I bought it I was exhilirated. It was the "in" phone then. But as I got to know the phone, I found out that there was no slot for additional memory card. Which was a bummer. Secondly, the battery does not last long, after it's six month warranty period is over. It would be full bar the time you on it, then by midday it would be dead already, after a call or two. Even if it has an extra battery at hand, I would not reccommend this phone to people who need to be on the phone most of the time. Although it's fashionable, elegant and lightweight, the factors mentioned plus the expensive price tag side, I would not reccommend this phone. I originally was a Motorola user, but switched to Nokia for almost a decade, but it seems Motorola is catching up to Nokia in terms of design, usability, coolness factor, etc.
