CNET Asia Review

Very good

7

The good: Improved battery life; bundled Bluetooth headset and fitted leather glove; brighter screen; scratch-resistant screen retained; two bundled batteries; now with 2-megapixel camera.

The bad: Still way too pricey; four-way Navi pad with center key remains cramped; fingerprint magnet; slow bootup; processing lag for camera captures; mono headset; heavy.

The bottom line: If it's exclusivity you desire, the Sirocco, like its predecessor, is certainly priced to be just that. And one can't deny that this is one elegant-looking phone.

Stylish and solid feel, Compact,Wow factor, New Vertu fone similar display.

Oct 27, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Scratch ressistant screen, bluetooth headset supplied, 2MP camera, 128Mb Memory & better battery lif
Cons: Small keys, relatively small display screen compared to new phones, expensive, No software.
Opinion:
A solid heavy phone, I have the black version and it has not failed to get a wow from everyone who has seen it, stunning new black/white display similar to Vertu fones & quality feel with stunning glass/scratch resistant screen & steel body, 128MB Memory (but no extra memory slots!), has all basics and stunning polyphonic tones...this fone needs a full overhaul with larger screen & memory slots, a stunning handpiece but very expensive

 

One of the most stylish phone

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Sleek Design, Eye Catchy
Cons: Expensive & Small Keypad
Opinion:
This phone is excellent but one problem is that small keypad which could get you frustrate. Anyway, what is that MOTO phone call??? The one that is next to NK8800 in the picture section. Anyone know???

 

Stylish, but for those who only needs phone function

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Great looks, definitely an improvement over the original 8800
Cons: Pricey, then again, isn't that the whole point? - so others can't afford.
Opinion:
Cheers to nokia for being the only brand to offer such luxurious phones.
(vertu is by nokia also isn't it?)
SE/Samsung/Motorola - no phones in the same category at all. Nokia dominates the high-end market.
Obviously this phone's main attraction is its looks. Features are sub-par comparing with phones in the same price range; but for those who can afford, why not?
