| bradbeal's Full Review: Nokia 8260 Cell Phone |
I just started a new job and asked my wife to purchase a new cell phone for me at the mall. I wanted something that was duel mode analog/digital because in the Columbus OH area I was always running into trouble with my all digital phone. At first I thought the phone was much too small to work effectively but the phone soon proved it had quite enough signal power.
I found myself slowly drawn to this phone because of its light weight and the fact I can carry it around without having to purchase a tool belt to carry it on. T he screen and the directions on screen walk you through practically any mode of operation you can imagine without a problem.
My service included the e-mail and instant messaging that becomes addictive when you want to send someone a quick e-mail message from the road. I have already dropped the phone on several occasion and Nokia has made this one built to last. I think because of the light weight it is less likely to break into a million pieces if you drop it on the floor.
It is also a real attention seeker when you pull out this phone the folks around you are instantly curious about its size. The only drawback is if you plan on being on the phone for more then 10 minutes this thing heats up like a hot coal on long conversations. The battery life really surprised me, with casual use you can expect it to last about five days between charges.
