Nokia 8801 Review

Nokia 8801 Review - Released last 2006, the Nokia 8801 was clearly marketed to target conspicuous customers. Designed to look stylish and luxurious, the Nokia 8801 is manufactured using stainless steel. It weigh about 4.8 ounces, making it heavy enough for users to feel comfortable. The 1.7-inch screen is covered by a glass but still manages to display rich colors even under direct light. When a button located at the bottom center is pressed, the keypad is snapped out of the casing. The stainless steel and glass material naturally attracts fingerprints and users would find themselves wiping the handset more frequently. Marketing this handset as must-have among stylish mobile phone lovers has been effective. The Nokia 8801 cuts a nice minimalist appeal. The keypad, although a bit small, is very handsome.

The Nokia 8801 comes with an internal memory of 64MB to support the variety of multimedia applications including a media player that could stream music via Bluetooth. To activate the FM radio, the user must attach a wired handset. The media player supports MP3 and AAC files and comes with repeat and shuffle options. Surprisingly, the unit has a five-band equalizer which includes pop, jazz, rock, flat and classical plus two user-defined presets.

The Nokia 8801 also comes with an SVGA camera for capturing images and videos and a main screen that features 262,000 colors. The camera includes several features including self-timer, night mode and 4x digital zoom. The video recorder, on the other hand, is capable of capturing about 60 minutes of video clips but that depends on the amount of memory available.

Measuring 107 x 45 x 16 mm and weighing just 137 grams, this handset can easily fit in pockets. Connectivity is provided by Bluetooth wireless technology which makes synchronization with the Nokia PC Suite and SyncML possible. The handset also features EDGE technology as well as the WAP 2.0 browser making high-speed data transmission possible. Users will be delighted with the ease of transferring images and downloading music as well as doing back ups.

The messaging functions of this handset allows POP/IMAP email although there are some units, usually those unlocked versions, do not have the same features. At best, the Nokia 8801 will allow users to perform MMA and SMS messaging. Calling features allows five-way conference calls, voice dialing and hands-free calls. The Nokia 8801 works with GSM 850, 1800, 1900 networks and delivers excellent quality sound. Standby time lasts for as long as three days and talk time is for three hours.

To summarize, the Nokia 8801 is one gorgeous handset, fully-equipped with excellent synchronization and connectivity. The music player also stands out among its many other features. On the other hand, the handset might be a heavy for some people and the lack of volume rocker and expansion slot for additional memory might be a deterrent. Its price is also a bit at the high end and users usually think twice before purchasing this mobile phone considering the not-so-great camera and short standby time.

Despite its simple design, the Nokia 6215i is still appealing especially to users who do not want flashy mobile phones. The clamshell-style handset comes in black and equipped with an extendable antenna. Because it is quite small, it fits in any hand and can offer much comfort during use. The external OLED display indicates the strength of the network signal, life of the battery, caller ID as well as the date and time. When placed in camera mode, the display serves as the self-portrait viewfinder. On its left side, the volume rocker, camera button and headset jack can be located.

Upon opening the phone, you will immediately notice the internal OLED display because of the amazing colors. Unfortunately, the 1.5 –inch screen is too small and many users found themselves scrolling down the menu more frequently. Aside from this, users can change or adjust the font size, the display theme, backlight timer as well as the format of the clock. The navigation keys are located below the display and consist of the two soft keys, a center key, a Clear key and a five-way toggle. On each side of the toggle are the dedicated camera and speakerphone button.

The keypad has standard alphanumeric keys and are spaced just right, making it very comfortable for the user especially when composing messages. It also has a blue backlight that lights up upon phone activation. When the keys are pressed, the user might notice the keys sinking underneath the phone’s surface, making dialing a bit tricky.

This Nokia model comes with a VGA camera. Sadly, the images taken using the camera were a bit grainy and blurry. On the other hand, users can personalize their units with the great selection of themes, colors, wallpapers and alert tones. Each entry in the address book can accommodate at most five numbers. Users can also assign an image, group or ringtone for each entry. Other features of the Nokia 6215i include the alarm clock, calendar, stop watch, notepad wireless Web browser and voice dialing.

Users can try to download more applications such as games through their network provider. The Nokia 6215i works with CDMA 850 and 1900 and delivers clear-sounding voice calls. Both caller and receiver claims excellent quality sound. The speakerphone did not deliver as expected and users might find themselves shouting to be heard.

With a talk time of 3.92 hours and standby time of approximately 10 days, the Nokia 6215i can be considered a reliable mobile handset. Users who love sleek, small and user-friendly units will surely like this handset. It gets the job done and doesn’t come with a lot of frilly features.
