CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.3

out of 10

View score

The good: Distinct looks, slim form factor; durable stainless steel shell; scratch-resistant screen; two bundled batteries; solid slide mechanism.

The bad: Way too pricey; heavy; cramped four-way Navi pad with center key; mono headset; slow bootup; low-res camera; short battery life.

The bottom line: Only if you've big bucks to unload or want to be among the few flashing a premium-priced phone.

Pricey paperweight



Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Sleek design
Cons: Lousy battery life reduces this to a land-line
Opinion:
The design was what attracted me to this piece of junk. Lack of features, I can forgive, even at this price. But the fact is that I was supposed to have purchased a MOBILE phone. The battery drain & the battery indicator that doesn't really indicate anything was too much. For my 8800, the battery indicator was either full, in which case the phone refuses to charge. Or it was empty, in which case the phone turns off. In areas of weak signal strength (like where I work), it goes from full to zero in about 5-10 mins of conversation. When you turn the phone back on again, the indicator registers full battery! Of course, the next incoming call shuts it back down in 5 secs.
7 visits to the service centre didn't help.
If I have to leave the phone in the desktop charger permanently, only to have 5-10 mins of conversation before it turns off, I'd be better ... Read more

Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: Stylish design
Cons: Short batetry life.
Opinion:
Well this phone is meant to be a stylish phone not a function phone so those who complain about camera and memory well i would say get a camera. Pior to this i was using the Gigabyte G Cam which is a CCD 5mp cam phone. I still wasnt happy with the phone. Nk8800 is diff , it had the style i wanted. Well only complains is the battery life. Also a few small bugs which i can forgive due to the superb stylish design. Updated my firmware to the latest V04.16. Dated 14 - 08 - 06 . Go get it. It has fewer bugs then the previous. Lovin it
