Nokia 8600 “Luna”
Sales have already started of the new designer model from Nokia, although nothing is on the official Nokia site as of yet. The mobile retailer Carphone warhouse on Monday advertised the Nokia 8600 — similar to Nokia’s strong-selling top-of-the-range 8800 and said it will come with a 2 megapixel camera, music player and FM radio, in a stainless steel casing; All the usuals then. I was a bit surprised they couldn’t do better with the battery life, I have an 8800 at the moment and the battery is shockingly bad – lasts one day at best, a few hours at worst. For this reason i always have to carry spare batteries, which they supplied with the phone.

had an 8910i for a bit, bought it on vodafone bill and paid close to €700 for it on a 12month contract, look great, brilliant for impressin women takin their numbers, but useless functionality,
never gonna buy one based on looks alone again,
got a n70 which i loved (till smashed the screen)
got the n80 sim free (the best fone ever!!! wifi!!!)
until……
nokia n95
google it and have a look
I agree Steven, my 8800 definately isn’t value for functionality. These phones are more like jewlery than technology. Although a friend has a promo N92 which means you can watch live TV on the bus etc… Now thats a cool smart phone. Only TV broadcasts work near city centre tho.
