Nokia 8801 / 8800

i read a while back that it was going to crush the ipod being able to hold mad songs but all i see on here is 64 mb.

There is a small carrier in Ohio called Cincinnati Bell who is offering this phone for 400 dollars with no contract.

Does anyone know how to either turn off the stupid themes that came with this phone or edit a theme so that the text is readable?

Any idea if Cingular will carry this phone?

I just got the new cingular 64k smartchip sim card, and my nokia 8801 can not write anything to it. I used to have the blue AT&T sim card, and my phone wrote to it just fine. I have tried other people's cingular 64k sim cards, and my phone couldn't write to those either. Is this a phone problem, or is there some kind of 'lock' on these new sim cards? Also, I have firmware version 3.6. Would the newer version fix this problem?

Dont know much about the phone. but i want a nice high end phone, not PDA. i want to be able to select ringtones from either a carrier OR put them on the phone myself by data cable or Memory card. bluetooth is a must. must be stylish and look decent.

with all that in mind, do all you phone gurus have any phone recommendations for me? your expertise will be appreciated!


thanks!

will cingular get the nokia 8801 and when will it be available.

It's been over a week and no one else has created or replied to a thread for this phone yet Motorola's SLVR and PEBL has gotten tons! Sad. 😢 Does anyone have this phone that can tell me if it's worth paying 800 bucks for? Thanks.

my company is all excited cause were gonna be selling this phone soon, where as they say ever cingular stores do not. They claim were are gettin em right from Nokia. are other retailers doing the same thing?

my 8801 keeps shutting off everytime i scroll. its pretty annoying. anyone else have this problem?

I just bought the 8801 and looks like that its giving me a hard time ... whenever i put my working sim card it boots up but then i dunno it shuts by it self .....


let me if i can put the new software in it ...

Dear members !!
i want to buy the nokia 88XX 😳 series phone, but why do some people say the 8801 is a cheaper less functional phone then the 8800 ? is this true, are there any significant differences between these two besides the GSM band?
I would like to buy biy the 8801, but not after they said that….
Thank you,

Had this phone for a day. My big problem with it is the Keypad. The 'Select' button is impossible to hit with accuracy. It's like you need a needle or long finger nail. Overall even, the keypad is bad. The bottom row is aligned with the phone body so you will always hit the body when using these keys.

Also, it will turn on its side when in your pocket. This makes it difficult to carry becuase of its weight and size.

If you are considering this phone - let your finger nails grow long before you buy.

There is no side volume control on 8801...

Also in the menu,

I only can change ringer and key-touch tone

volume,,,


If do you know how can I make the speaker volume louder???


When I'm calling to someone,,, I can hardly

hear what someone is saying....


Please inform me to have louder speaker volume.
