Nokia 8801--Is it worth it?

Lifestyle Bazaar Talk

So the nokia 8801 is supposed to be the Rolex of cellphones, and as I am in the market for a new phone, I was wondering if it is worth the money? I will not be using most of the functions, but I do need speakerphone, and basically a phone that I can make tons of phone calls with, without any problems. I love the way the phone looks and its slider design. I currently have a Motorola RAZR, and am getting quite annoyed that everyone and their brother has one!

Anyways, does anyone have first-hand experiences of owning one? What are the positives and negatives of the phone?? Most importantly, would you recommend someone buying one?

Thanks for the help!

nokia 8801 is NOT the rolex of cellones. if u r willing to spend the money on 8801, get the n80 instead. its a sweet phone!!!

8801 is not the greatest...used it a couple times....umm there are lots of other better options. No doubt 8801 looks great..but its function and smartness is limited

I did a search on the N80, its an awesome phone. Is it available in the US?

yes, its available. u won't get it from the carriers. u can get it from the nokia store in chicago or get it from one of the online vendors.

Also, look at the N73, that is also a good phone.

If you can wait, wait till the n83, it will be released in early 2007 (hopefully) and it will be sweeter than the n80.

rolex uh? :D

check vertu mobile phones :D Now thats a rolex :p both the design AND price can be compared :D

Anyway, the 8801 is a nice phone. If you just want to make calls and have a very good design, go for it :)

Dang, the Vertu only costs $18,000! I wonder how long it would take for it to be considered technologically 'old/retired'. The average life of cell phones is about 1 year and a half with all the changes, etc, so I wonder if this would be the same. $18,000 for a year and half....that's an even worse investment than buying a car!
;) However, the design is awesome.
