 | Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition Unlocked Phone with Free Voice Navigation and Nokia Navigation Accessory Kit--U.S. Version with Full Warranty
Its not WCDMA 900/1900 -- 2010-03-07
Five stars for the phone, i like it...
One star for amazon, because they publish the specification as a 3G WCDMA 900/1900 phone and it is wrong. The phone is WCDMA 850/1900
NO FUNCIONA PARA LA RED 3G DE DIGITEL (VENEZUELA)
Good phone, but has a few disappointments (updated) -- 2010-03-03
First of all, the phone itself, weight, form factor, buttons feels very solid and comfortable.
The feature set is also solid - free maps and gps navigation without a data plan, free music (unless in the USA), wifi and half the price of similarly equipped phones is a great deal.
Having said that, the user experience is lacking. I feel that Nokia hardware made a bunch of bad decisions on this phone.
1. In a phone of this caliber, it is important to be able to dock the phone.
o With its music capability, use it with your HT system
o with a touch screen, easy to get scratches just lying around.
o Docking for charging becomes a habit.
o A dock on the car cradle would be also nice feature
So, putting the ports on top, and requiring manual plugging, means dock is impossible.
On the software side, the interface is not as fluid as an iphone. Multitouch is not there.
overall, its a nice phone, specially for feature/cost. But it wpont be the last phone I buy.
However, the camera has flash and there are 2 cameras - so videoconferencing is a possibility.
I used Fring with skype and it works quite well.
Wireless LAN - Getting on the LAN was effortless . The software figured out what kind of secutiry (WEP, WPA) and prompts for password. one irritation is that even though one app has connection to the WLAN, every other app prompts to connect to the LAN.
Software. This is the biggest weakness compared to the iphone, and even the android. It looks like Symbian wont survive too long and not many developers are interested in developing for this OS. Pandora is available for Palm, droid and iphone but they are not supporing Symbian. The amount of software available on Ovi, seems meager compared to itunes and possibly the android marketplace.

 | LG KP500 Cookie Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera (Black)
Wouldn't recommend the KP500 -- 2010-03-04
I got this phone about two weeks ago, and liked it at first. I plan on sending it back tomorrow. I wanted to keep it and tried to find good things about it just because I absolutely hate having to return things I ordered from the internet, but honestly there are too many negatives that overshadow the good things about this phone. The touch screen is bad. When texting, it sometimes takes 3-5 times pushing a letter on the keypad for the phone to register it and add the letter to the text. It's extremely frustrating and slows you down significantly. Also, when selecting something, for example, the "Messages" icon (any icon for that matter), the delay is horrible. I'm glad I haven't needed the phone in an emergency, because it wouldn't do you much good when you need to act quickly. I've counted, and it has taken up to 8 seconds to open up a random menu. I love the look of the phone, and it's incredibly light weight- much lighter than it looks like it'd be. But the negatives keep racking up, and I've decided (1) to return it, and (2) write this review warning people of the frustrations I've had with this stupid phone. Keep looking- this is not the phone you want to buy.
Very good phone, so happy wife -- 2010-03-03
I bought this phone to gift to my wife last valentine's day. She loves it. The software is ok, it has a great camera, easy to use, battery life is ok!

 | Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Unlocked Phone with U.S. 3G, GPS with Free Voice Navigation, Wi-Fi, and 8 GB MicroSD Card--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black)
Difficult to use, web browser supports few languages -- 2010-03-07
Compared to iPhone, this phone is really difficult to use. Web browser doesn't support Asian languages. There is no firmware update to fix this problem.
unlocked for anywhere the world -- 2010-03-03
works practically anywhere in the world.
works great for any operator in my country (Colombia).
Sometimes when you receive a call, the phone enters lock state .turn off the phone, and the phone works again.
The design of this phone is sober and elegant, providing some services such as wi-fi, radio, camera, web browser, audio recorder and calls recorder are wonderful.
the sound quality that has this phone is amazing.
the touch screen is not as fast as an iPhone, but everything is compensated for all services that does not carry the iPhone, I'm really happy with my purchase and the truth I do not change my Nokia 5800 with iPhone never
The flash of the camera is really strong,
The design is ergonomic and fits comfortably in your hand.
talk about the storage capacity the nokia 5800 is actually far superior than the iphone, because the power to insert memory the 8 gb or 16gb gives you the advantage of bringing a lot of information in your hand ...... . Nokia is Nokia

 | Nokia E63-2 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, Media Player, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Ultramarine Blue)
My favourite phone -- 2010-03-07
Everybody is in love with BlackBerries, but this Nokia is simply fantastic, reliable, sturdy and user friendly. Has all the features I need and it is way cheaper when you compare it with the rest. I wouldn't change it for a BlackBerry.
Great phone -- 2010-03-02
I just got this phone on Saturday the 27th of February 2010 and it has been nothing but perfect. I had an iPod touch and it worked ok, I could only sync note to outlook which I don't use and I can't delete music from the device but the nokia e63 is totally opposite, I use it as a flash drive. I can store anything on this phone and transfer it wirelessly to any computer via Bluetooth. The phone is the perfect price at just $189 it is really affordable, the camera loads with in 3 seconds and takes great pictures for 2 megapixels. The email app was amazingly easy to setup and use. This is a great phone, it's not flashy at all and it works great. It's the perfect phone

 | Nokia E72 Unlocked Phone with GPS with Free Voice Navigation -- U.S. Version with Full Warranty (Zodium Black)
My wife loves it!!!!! -- 2010-03-08
I gave this cell phone to my wife as a gift. After a month, she has not experienced any problems. We forgot to call AT&T to upgrade our data plan, when we did they were kind enough to backdate the change and not charge us for excess usage.
When it is time to replace my phone, I will be certainly looking at the E72 as well.
E72 beats BB bold 9700 -- 2010-03-06
The E72 is one of the best phones ever created.... I am a proud owner of tons of phones and tons more over the last 10 years. The Nokia E72 is a beast.... and I save that category for the rarest of gadgets. Let me explain why (briefly).
Right now I have an Iphone 2g, Ipaq 910, Bold 9700, and the E72. All of my phones serve a purpose in my ever changing lifestyle.
The Iphone is probably the best pda device ever made- emails, sms, mms (now), apps, shortcuts, games, and ease of use. But its still lacking, to me, in various areas- lagging, running multiple apps, camera quality, and battery. Most importantly, I hate going in and out of apps- when closed its closed.
The Ipaq 910- is probably one of the worst devices ever purchased; yet when running, its the king of pocketpc's. It was tethering at speeds of 10.2 almost 3 years ago. Now everyone is trying to include 3.5g speeds. Sadly, the battery life sucks and it crashes more than a toddler on training wheels. I still have it and refuse to part ways.
The BB 9700 is hands down bb's best effort to me; I would say its the best mobile device on the market. I even added the droid interface and the droid ringtone to spice it up. The track ball is gone and the track pad is even more addictive. It now has a 624 processor and all the bells and whistles, needless to say the best email system going. However, I just get bored with it. I cant figure it out.
Now E72 is my second Nokia... I bought the N97 in June but the price wasnt worth keeping. Nonetheless, it was a quality device. I read about the E72 recently and fell in love with the specs.
Pros-
Battery life- is unbelievable! None of the aforementioned phones can last a day without dragging out a car charger or a wall charger. The E72 can last 2 days with running: emails, taking pics, creating videos, tons of sms, apps, and tons of phone calls.
Camera- is great. I love the quality of the 5mp pictures. The quality changes at night I might add. I almost forgot the front facing camera too.
Phone quality- unbelievable calls...with headphones, bluetooth, or device calls.
sms- sure its not threaded sms but there are programs that can change the UI if needed.
Operating system- yes its outdated but its solid as a rock...I will take that all day long. Whats worst than having no phone? A phone that crashes... the symbian 60 is like a old BMW, period.
Track pad/clicker- track pad is not as good as the bb but combined with the usual Nokia E series clicker pad make a great combination.
Web Browser- excellent.. The best in its class.
Video Calling- recently Fring added skype video calling... I was blown away.
Audio messenging- every now and then when I am in a hurry I like to record audio messages oppose to sms...great addition.
Contacts, calendar interface- its smooth...if you can marry with google sync...its even better.
tethering- no need to purchase a program, it does it for you. You can even add a 3rd party program to make it a hotspot....
3.5g- its the fastest phone its class... and if you can buy it unlock, you can take advantage of the various network speeds. No need to buy wifi while traveling.
3.5mm headjack outlet- I ran my jbl desktop speakers and last.fm... unbelievable.
Nokia Office is a great program with Office and Pdf capability...
GPS with OVI maps is superb... now that its free, its a must have with any Nokia.
OTA upgrades,no more using the usb port to upgrade....
Cons-
*Email interface is cumbersome... but now that there is Nokia Email, its a lot better. However, I added Seven push email and its comparable to having BB push service.
*Email Links from Browser- I hate that I cant email a friend a good article from a website... maybe I am missing it some how.
*Nothing is in alphabetical order...when changing apps... Most are all over the place.
*LED flash is on the keypad not the top...I kinda miss the blackberry flashing light.
*On screen function icons too small-like sending a text or email, alarm, and bluetooth... are too small and if you need to know if a email is sent, you have to pay close attention to the sent icon or check the outbox...
*Must use signed aps if not, you can forget it unless you spend hours trying to get it signed...
*Usb jack and phone charger jack different....
Overall I still say this is the best gadget phone out...its a thinking mans phone because a lot of the capabilities are hidden and require work. However, once you have mastered it, you have a mp3 player, an entry level 5mp hotshot, great phone, pda, pocketpc, video camera, great gps, social networker (Nokia Facebook and Twitter Gravity, video caller, and a hotspot.
I highly recommend the Unlocked version oppose to ATT bloatware crasher versions....

 | Nokia E71 Unlocked Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Media Player, GPS, Wi-Fi, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Gray)
Amazing Phone and amazing transaction! -- 2010-03-07
I love this phone, now I can't imagine my life with out it. Now I know why Nokia E71 won the award as the best smartphone in the market!!! It's like having a computer with you all the time, Nokia rocks! Super fast shipping. I can't really complain! =)
Nokia E71 -- 2010-03-05
I just bought this phone and its working good for me, its a great phone if u will use it for business or just because you like the phone, when i got the phone i was just wondering if the cellphone comes with the memory card because mine doesn't came with one but than everything its excellent with the product.

 | Nokia E63-2 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, Media Player, and MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Ruby Red)
This phone is awesome! -- 2010-02-23
All I can say is if you buy it, you are going to love it. Compatible with T-mobile, the wi-fi internet connectivity is fast, you will be playing with this phone for days. Whether it is for business or personal, it will definitely suite either need. Not cheap in construction. Has internet radio. My friend saw mine, and purchased one as well. I was looking for a cover for it in the mall,the had never seen it, only the e71. Don't be surprised if alot of people haven't heard of it. It mimics a blackberry but at half the price.
Great phone, even better support! -- 2010-02-16
Initially I had bought one of these for myself. I refuse to pay $70+ for a data plan, so the WIFI on this phone is great. I can connect to hotspots and send emails at no charge. The keyboard is nice, even my fat fingers can hit the right keys 99% of the time.
After 3 months the phone died. I didn't drop it or do anything that would cause it to stop working. Nokia tech support was awesome. First, i could understand the person I spoke with. There was no problem with the return; they asked "did you drop it?", "did it get submerged?"; when I replied no, they took my information. Second, they sent a call tag so that I didn't have to pay to ship it back to them (Western Digital could learn something from them). Third, I received the phone back in about 10 days and it has been working fine for the past 6 months.
I liked it so much that I bought my wife one in red. She also loves the phone.
It has a really handy "flashlight" function. If you hold the [__] key down, it turns the camera flash on so you can use it like a flashlight. The pictures it takes are not the greatest. It can also take movies, which is fun.
I highly recommend not only this phone, but Nokia in general.

 | Blackberry Gemini 8520 Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi--International Version with No Warranty (Black)
Blackberry Gemini 8520 -- 2010-03-08
I have some trouble with a independent seller and the order was canceled but after the reorder through amazon direct handling everything was ok....
Recieved the WRONG PHONE! -- 2010-02-19
I recently ordered a Blackberry Gemini 8520 unlocked gsm phone for use internationally. When I recieved said order, it in fact was not a Gemini 8520, but a Blackberry Curve; of which I think may have been re-furbished. I didn't want the hassle of returning the Curve because I need to use a phone immediately. So I did not complain until I was asked to write a review of this item.
Thanks!

 | Motorola Motofone F3 Unlocked Phone with Dual-Band GSM 850/1900--International Version with No Warranty (Black)
An ok cell phone -- 2010-03-09
In terms of the price, it is something pretty good. But it's, on the other hand, not user-friedly at all. The screen is just like the one used in the very basic calculators. Everything is drawn/written in symbols, it takes a while for you to understand what the symbols mean. When my friends saw the phone. they even asked me if the phone was a toy or a remote. Anyway, the phone only has very basic functions which are enough for calling. However, if you really wanna type txt messages, just avoid it.
Distinctively Retro -- 2010-03-06
Has a basic LCD display as opposed to a regular color display. This limits what can be displayed so is supplemented by voice notifications. It works and is appealing in a distinctive retro way. I have multiple SIMs for different countries and for people visiting and use this for that.
