Nokia 8800 Sirocco mini review

Posted by fatreg
ello,

so i've had my 8800 sirocco for a few days, so i thought i'd write a mini review for you that are remotley intrested.

dans le box you get:

1x phone
2x batteries
1x BT headset
1x charger
1x desk stand
1x leather pouch
1x suede cloth
1x manual
1x PHF for radio
1x box containing i dont know as its sealed!

from the word off, you can't help but feel this is just a money making scam by Mr Nokia, it is in all essence an 8800 with a few tweeks, you also cna't help but think that the black sirocco is just a cheap make of the silver one. for example, the back cover releases are still silver, and the inside of the back cover is still silver.

upon turning it on you are faced with a dark nokia theme.. wether or not this is just because i have the black sirocco i dont know. but its very nice the dark theme. the menu is the new series 45, as per what you get on a nokia 6111, how nokia class the menu as a premium user interface i dont know! only thing i've noticed is that the menu icons are actually finished properly this time and there are no jagged pixels..

the ringtones are let me say a little abnormal, even the nokia tone is all messed up. and with mp3s as ringtones the sound is a lilttle empty.

all that aside, the keypad is a delight to use, the slide is a lot clunkier, making it feel like a superior handset and it loves finger prints!

i don't know what else to say other than if you can get one, get one!

i love mine to bits.
