Nokia 8890 > Reviews

Advantages: Stylish, infrared and modem built in. Tri-band functionality.
Disadvantages: Expensive, get very hot after extended use.

I swapped my original Nokia 8850 for the 8890 when I needed a phone to use in the US. Due to the fact that the 8890 is Tri-Band it means that not only does it work with all major networks in the UK (Vodaphone, Cellnet, Orange, One2One) but also with most cellular networks in the US. The 8890 is encased in a sleek brushed aluminium casing with silver trim and has a black head sporting the Nokia logo. The keypad is accessible via a slider at the ... Read review

Thus, I must say. The Nokia 8890 looks really totally beautiful, but the appearance alone does not count. A still so beautiful Handy could be totally stupid in reality and bring nothing. Therefore I took the Nokia 8890 times somewhat more exactly under the magnifying glass: I found out that only 2 hours and 30 minutes load it to the integrated vibrationsthing need. By the showing the display, to which displays the Akku is as full, one can in time ... Read review

Advantages: Can be use in USA
Disadvantages: Not fully supported in USA

Nokia 8890 is an exact replica of 8850 except that it has a dual band at GSM900 and GSM1900, which support vodaphone, cellnet in this continent and most of the asia countries and GSM 1900 support USA's network. In another word you almost cover the whole world. However, since most of the USA is still using analogue phone, GSM1900 is not fully supported in the whole of USA (only in big cities like New York, Washington). So, even if you do one day ...

I recently rediscovered my Nokia 8890 whilst looking through some boxes and decided to give it another go. Once I started using it I was astonished at its usefulness even though it is now a relitavely old phone. As soon as I showed it to my friends they were all amazed and wanted a go. It is a remarkably useful phone with all the tools you could need in a phone but in one of the most stylish outer casings Nokia has ever created. I have now been using ... Read review

Advantages: so much to do on it
Disadvantages: expensive

...of being a phone the Nokia 8890 is so much more, a calendar, organiser and mini computer all in one. You can send and recieve emails and there are so many functions and gizmos you'll forget you can use it to call people on. You'll never be stuck for something to do on the bus when you have one of these, just don't annoy everyone else with it though.This phone is thoroughly recomended if a little expensive, it may suit the more hectic life of a buisnesman ...
