Review of NEC E808 by antsss

Advantages: Currently free on Pay As You Go! Amazing images & features.
Disadvantages: Navigation needs some getting used to.

...LITTLE BACKGROUND ABOUT THE NETWORK This NEC phone is a so-called 3G (third generation) mobile. It uses an updated SIM, called a USIM (duh!), and expands on the 2G mobiles we've been using since analogue phones were phased out. The most obvious advantage is video calling, but other services - movie clip downloads, A to B maps and so on - are new twists in the world of interactive mobile phones. The only network to offer 3G technology at the ... Read review

It's a new world.
Review of NEC E808 by runonthespot

Advantages: Great screen, video, email, keyboard, 3g services
Disadvantages: Size, battery life (ish),

nec e808 So far, I love this phone! Okay, details. I got the grey/brushed aluminium look phone (known as the Champagne model)- much better than the black one IMHO. Bought mine through a direct mobile phone company, who were quite responsive and threw in a free minidisc player, so all good. Out the box, it was simple as inserting sim, and I was up and running within 20 minutes. The phone is reasonably large, but feels much like my wallet in ... Read review

A mixed blessing...
Review of NEC E808 by shdnessling

Advantages: Cheap contracts, qwerty keyboard
Disadvantages: poor battery life, attrocious signal coverage

Having been a hardened fan of Nokia phones, and a committed Orange customer, the chance of me moving networks was slim – until I received my last phone bill. That was enough to drive anyone on, particularly with the shining option of “3”’s £35 per month any time, any network deal. They were even prepared to give me a second handset on pay-as-you-go for free. What a deal. Slowly though, a few problems became apparent. But first the basics: Appearance: It ... Read review

You can have mine!
Review of NEC E808 by Gadgit

Advantages: You probably won't loose it, cheap
Disadvantages: Can't list them all, generally not very good

To be honest, i would not recommend this phone to anyone, it's pretty rubbish. The advantages are that it was very cheap at the time, and for £50 (or free as it was) you can hardly complain. I would, however, expect it to work most of the time. Spec (What there is of it!): Screen: Large but with low pixel and colour count Memory: 64mb Camera: 2x with 2x zoom, but small poor quality pictures Battery Life: 3 Days Stndby, 3 Hrs Talk Time Features: ...

Neither here nor there
Review of NEC E808 by biogenetics

Advantages: free to get with pay and go, good functions
Disadvantages: size, camera images blurry

To me the idea of a mobile phone needing a camera has always seemed like a streaker/stripper needing a changing room. It's a bit of a futile gesture. There is more to go wrong with the phone for a start. This coupled with the fact that the images are usually of very low quality. and the only thing you can do with them is send them to others, it's pointless. Why don't people get digital cameras, which is my first problem with this phone. There are ... Read review

Wow - what a product
Review of NEC E808 by stantheman

Advantages: Memory Size, Video Call, Ease of Use, overall functionality
Disadvantages: quality of pictures taken by camera, relative size

...phone to play. The NEC file transfer software is easy to use and within minutes you can be playing your fav tunes and watching clips found on the net. Resizing pictures for the phone has proved a little tricky but I'm working on that and many pictures have loaded quickly. The menu function is a doddle to use and makes learning how to use the features a synch. Size of the product was a consideration over the e606 - but now I have the e808 I really ... Read review

Buy some trausers for this handset!!
Review of NEC E808 by Peterlisbon

Advantages: ... has camera...
Disadvantages: Large in the hand. Keys not user friendly.

This is the worst handset made by NEC! First of all, the syncronizing software. It doesn't have a very professional look but the idea is nice. You can do some Sync by cable but the setup the .VFC file cards to transfer to your contact list. It doesn't sync directly with Outlook or with the MS Phone book. But going back to the File Transfer, we know that it get improved on the later versions. Regarding the handset... the look isn't the best. Very ... Read review

Not bad
Review of NEC E808 by claire19

Advantages: Three network is cheap
Disadvantages: phone is v big!

I got this phone free on contract along with a free dvd player from the net. I was a bit disapointed with the size as it was quite bulky. The three network however is very competitive with a tariff for every budget, however if you have to call the helpline I think it goes through to a different country and it is difficult to understand the person on the end of the line! It is quite weird getting used to using it and it can be quite slow in a computer ... Read review
