Ross, Glasgow

+ Looks great, easy to use. Get comments from people all the time asking where I got it.

- Very easily scratched casing and no charging dock like most other 8800's. Also the attchment to charge / use hands free etc has changed from old Nokias. Therefore my old chargers at home and in the car no longer work. Rip off !

Rose, London

+ Easy to use, no need to lock keyboard as it's a slide shut phone, excellent battery life.

- The only thing I can't do is synchronise the contacts with Outlook - I think because the names are saved to the phone memory but I'm not sure.

+ The phone looks great and is quite small. If your looking for a basic phone that looks stunning and has a solid build quality then this phone fits the description. Battery life is good and the operating system is fast and responsive. It supports flash messages and wallpapers which is a nice customisable feature.

- The phone is a bid heavy, but then it is made of glass and so it makes up for it's weight in style. The camera has no flash and could be better. No expandable memory but there is enough space for an album. Bottom three keys are in an awkward place but fine if you have small fingers.
