ANyone got any info on this phone? This will be my next phone, it is sweet!! I had the 8860 back when i was in high school, and it was teh best phone i ever had...i checked on ebay, and the 8800 is like 900-1000, but it only utilizes 900 mhz...the 8801 uses 850...whens that comig out???

 

I had one of these babies in my store... costed us about $1000... some thief came in and stole it while the store was busy and no one was paying attention!!!

 

i have the 8890 and it's a great phone - the 8801 is the only phone i will replace this with, whenever it comes out...

 

you still got the 8890? god damn its time for a new phone, that phone does last though because of its body.

 

I thought the 8800 was like 800 bucks..I guess this happened a couple weeks ago when it was selling for 1100+ everywhere else.

 

Raheel, i still have my 8890, and 8860!

Bimmer, that is really shitty to hear,i hope you can get insurance money for it or something.

what a shame

 

The 8890 was the thing back in the days haha, I remember when 3390's were the normal crowd and than people with 8890 had professional status haha! I did some conversions on some 8390's and 8290's to make them look like 8890's, man is that old school, been a while though.

I really like that Nokia phone that you can pop up to answer a call but it doesnt have 1900 band to work in U.S.

 

man, i had an 8860. it was my favorite phone i ever had, and i have had quite a few. that thing was so pimp, until someone pushed me into a pool with the phone in my pocket. i have kept an eye on em on ebay, they are like 8-900$. I am waiting for the 8801 to come out cuz it has 850 mhz band....gonna replace my razor with that thing...its so PIMP, i have been waiting for nokia to come out with a updated version of that phone forever!

 

Bump

Just noticed the 8800 and was wondering if anyone had any info/experiences with it.

I'm debating between the 8800 and waiting for the N-series prices to drop. Any suggestions?

I have seen and used all the N-series phones. If you don't mind the huge size they have LOTS of features and a killer O/S

 

 

The current version has major OS problems and power problems. I hope they fix as new batches are shipped out. But that price point is waaaaay too far out for me...I think I will wait for the Nokia 6270 and the Motorola SLVR

 

I got my 8801 over the weekend. This is best looking phone I've owned, and it's got functionality to boot. I also had an 8860 back in the day, around 2000. Never had an 8890, though I considered it at the time. So far so good, everything's working perfectly, and I'm even getting used to working a Nokia again, after owning a Motorola V600 for over a year. As someone already mentioned, fingerprints are a downside, but really the only downside. Like the 8860, this is a "high-maintenance" phone, I'm always wiping it down. Other than that, it's great, I give it a

I snapped some pictures of it, to see more, click on the box.

Thats a pretty sick phone, probably the one I would buy if I was in the market right now.

Is GSM a West coast provider only? I havn't heard of them here in NY.

 

GSM is not a cell pohne company name. its the 'standard' cingular and t-mobile use (and most of the world). its like CDMA verizon uses.

 

if anyone is looking for the 8801 i should be able to get it for you for under $750 shipped. PM if you are intrested.

 

This is a good place to get a 8801 for around $650

I was all set on ordering one for myself, but I hear now that a US mobile carrier will be carrying these phones in regular stores for ne1 to buy.
Thas total BS ... ill be soo mad cuz the 8800 are known for their elegance and hefty price tag... and if ne1 can get these phones at a store ... im not willing to spend that kinda money on it. Uniqueness goes away if they become readily available.

For rite now, Razr will have to dol

 

UR RIGHT. i was told that t-mobile is getting the 8801 soon.

 

tmobile wont get the 8801, they would get the 8800...same phone..correct me if i am wrong, not as savvy on phones as i used to be. either way, you can get these on ebay for a litttle under $600 shipped rigth now....so im still waiting...im definately going to get it though, i think its awesome

 

the 8801 has 850mhz. all the new t-mobile phones are coming with 850.
