I have had this fone for years. It has always worked very well. I have dropped it repeatedly. It has gotten sea water in it. The internal speaker is starting to go, the left keyboard is malf. But it has been a great phone. At&amp;T is dropping the service and I am being forced into a new phone.<br /><br />Nokia really put out a top notch product on this one. But no one is selling it and/or supporting it anymore.<br /><br />I have BBs at work and have used numerous other phones, but this one has to be put down.<br /><br />...sniff...</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=23308#review23308 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=23308#review23308 Sun, 03 Jun 2007 14:00:44 GMT <p><i>im coolio submitted this review of the Nokia 6800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>this phone has its own personality. it has an awesome key board that is spaced out and is helpful for businesses. i have read many reviews saying that the keyboard has no light.......wrong. its in the top left corner of the keyboard(the pic of the lightbulb). this has a typical nokia battery, the ones that will last a week without going down one bar. i got this phone 4 days ago and it has the same battery level as before. and i never turned it off!!!!!<br />also, the phones bigness gives it a stiff solid feeling most people like to have in a phone. it grabs attention and i love it.

The keys are to easy to hit and can be hit by accident while putting it in a case, etc. The power button especially is too easy to hit. The phone has been shut off several times by mistake. <br /><br />A major complaint is that sometimes a key or two won't work. This phone gets exposed to desert heat and cold as well as lots of dust, so the key problem may not happen to normal users. <br /><br />The battery seems to be losing its memory after more than a year and a half of 24 hr/day operation. It recharges quickly with the A/C or car chargers, so this also isn't a big problem. It still gives a coule of hours of talk and several days of listen.<br /><br />The larger size is nice for hitting buttons with fat fingers, but it is difficult to find a decent case to fit. A clamshell glasses case works great.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=12811#review12811 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=12811#review12811 Mon, 31 Oct 2005 08:13:27 GMT <p><i>Robert S. submitted this review of the Nokia 6800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is great i really like it a lot the signal isn't really that good here I'm a hour south of the Twin cities area but i can type really really fast on this phone when its open i also like the fact you can type when its closed as well.

I am a fan of Nokias and believe they make the best phones in the world. However, having migrated from the Nokia 3200, I have found this new phone to lack some of the features I enjoyed in my 3200. I feel that the 6800 is not fully developed to Nokia's standards because of cost-cutting or whatever other reason. Here's whats annoying me about this phone compared to my 3200. These nuisances will be more apparent if you are an experienced Nokia users. Otherwise you will have a blast using the 6800:<br /><br />- The joystick is for 4-way navigation only. You can't 'press' it in and have to use one of the flanking buttons to use a command.<br /><br />- There is no automatic keyguard which will lock the keys (so you don't accidentally dial a number) after a certain amount of time. You have to do this manually each time.<br /><br />- You cannot change the menu into 'grid view'. You must scroll through a million menu options to get to, say, 'Settings'.<br /><br />- Many of the 'Go To' options have been disabled such as the shortcut to the alarm clock.<br /><br />- Nokia is not known for developing the best screens but compared to my 3200, the LCD on the 6800 is horrid. It lacks colors and decent graphics and just looks cheap.<br /><br />- My phone came defective. In FM radio mode, the stations will automatically change every few seconds with no way of stopping it. I think this is an isolated bug only on my phone.<br /><br />- The earpiece sound has vibration and people's voices don't sound as cleared compared to other Nokias.<br /><br />- The infrared port doesn't work. I can't transfer images/sounds from my other Nokia.<br /><br />Otherwise, this is a great phone with great design. The most obvious reason anone would get this is the flip-open keyboard which works flawlessly. The battery will last you days, the loudspeaker is crystal clear and the buttons are clear and easy to press. Oh and it has side buttons (yaaay!). Once a Nokian, always a Nokian.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=10095#review10095 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=10095#review10095 Tue, 07 Jun 2005 05:32:21 GMT <p><i>icedoghans submitted this review of the Nokia 6800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>After bitching continuously about miniature Qwerty keyboards as useless on cell phones -- I have been humbled. <br /><br />I own a busted Nokia NgageQD. So I needed a quick phone fix to stick my SIM card in. There were still a few 6800's left in some of the T-mobile stores in Boise Idaho, so I chose a 6800 as a "go-phone" where I just swap out the SIM card for my original one. <br /><br />This phone is so good I may have to split time with it and the NgageQD when it returns -- and maybe I do not care if I ever see it again... I am a series 60 fanatic though, so probably not. But the fact that I like this phone, and all its features is amazing!!!<br /><br />The keyboard is so cool that I will have to start IMing &amp; and emailing from my phone [things I do not do] just to have an excuse to use my new toy!<br /><br />Pro -- FM radio, Earpiece, keyboard, speaker,<br /> internet features, screen size-quality<br /><br />Con -- No Bluetooth, not a tri-band, and <br /> that I will have to choose between<br /> NgageQD and 6800 when it returns.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=9711#review9711 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=9711#review9711 Wed, 11 May 2005 22:32:59 GMT <p><i>etwood submitted this review of the Nokia 6800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I had this phone for almost a year.

The phone gets great signal ( as with many Nokia phones). In my opinion, the phone is bulky and the screen quality is awful. Pictures on the phone look cheesy. Another thing that I don't like is that when the keypad is opened, there is no light on the keypad so you can see where the buttons are in the dark.

After much waiting, the phone arrived. I was extremely impressed with the solid exterior design and the fit and finish of the different parts. Coming from a flimsy, quirky Siemens, this phone is excellent. When you turn it on, you are greeted with a simple, easy to use, intuitive design for the menu, and common sense operations. They say that the devil's in the details, but there's no devil here. Thoughtful add-ins such as the FM radio, voice recorder, and currency converter are useful, helpful additions to a wonderful phone. As for the much-touted keyboard, this machine is an SMS genius, making short work of text messages, instant messaging, and quick note-taking. Finally, the organizer and calendar takes practice to use effectively, but are ingenious in design. I can recommend this phone to anyone who needs a good, relatively simple, durable phone, not only to SMS and IM wonks. This phone rocks, and in Hawaii, T-Mobile simply rocks!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=8804#review8804 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=8804#review8804 Fri, 11 Mar 2005 17:55:38 GMT <p><i>mistaex submitted this review of the Nokia 6800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Everything about this phone is amazing!

I have been using a crappy Motorola c331 for the last two years, so any new cell phone would probably impress me, but this phone alleviates the need for a PDA. <br /><br />I got this phone for -$125 through Amazon when I signed up for a new T-mobile plan (they will pay me $125 after rebates). <br /><br />I couldn't believe how easy it was to synchronize Outlook with the phone. I downloaded the impressive, free Nokia PC Suite sofware from nokia.com/support/phones/6800, installed it, selected infrared connectivity on my phone and pointed the IR window at my laptop, opened the Nokia PC Sync application, and it transferred 400 contacts and all of my appointments to my phone in 2 minutes. No configuration, drivers, or cables required.

My fault. Nokia doesn't offer any help/parts (unlike the myriad of faceplates for their cheapie phones), so I have to be more cafeul with the new one that I got. The face scratches easily so 6800 #2 does not get tossed around and thrown in my pocket anymore. I have not even removed the plastic from this one's face, I am starting to feel like my grandpa...<br /><br />I love this phone for SMS, e-mailing, etc, while I am away from my computer. Plus T-mobile's version comes with a ring that actually sounds like a phone (an old timey "ring ring") that I prefer to all the songs and crap that they have out now. The only other complaint is that the earpiece is not easy to use and a bit bulky on the ear. I barely use it because it's so much hassle.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=5330#review5330 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=224&r=5330#review5330 Tue, 24 Aug 2004 00:31:22 GMT <p><i>BruceDude submitted this review of the Nokia 6800:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I'll start by ranking the key points that make this phone an objective buy.<br /><br />Price 9/10<br />Reception: 8/10<br />Appearance / size: 8/10<br />Features: 8/10<br />Appeal: 7.5/10<br /><br />Although it retails at 219.99 most providers have offered this phone for free in recent months for new customers, which has in turn made competitive plans look even more appealing.<br />-The reception of this phone is ok, but has been out scored by the famous reception of my siemens s46(I placed a call in a spot that was dead to the 6800 and the siemens phone picked up without hesitation).<br />-The Text messaging pad is nice and roomy even for large fingers and I was able to get typing about 4-5 times faster than a normal phone when creating text messages.<br />-It is a bit larger than many phones, but that is to be expected with the keypad.<br />-This phone seems to find a great response out of middle-aged and elderly people that shun small phones, yet it still manages to make them feel younger because of its unique design.<br /><br />It's a balanced phone for the price that's offered. In my opinion I think Nokia ought to keep selling this model for a reduced price to keep customers satisfied when their older, more obsolete phone breaks. I see the inventory for this phone shoot down dramatically in small increments of time only to see a small bounce back after watching a new shipment of 5000 boost the stock up out of the red. We seem to let many of these phones slip out of our hands to quickly at AT&amp;T wireless.<br /><br />I've heard so many customers say "I don't need a camera".<br />Well here you go.<br /><br />What price + balance + appeal accomplishes:4.5</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=224
