Nokia 8265 Cell Phone

Pros: Small, sleek, has all the basic features, works nicely, user friendly
Cons: Can be too small at times, faceplate and battery cover are cheap

After two years of owning Nokia 8260 cell phones, I decided to opt for an upgrade to the Nokia 8265. I am a subscriber to ATT Wireless, and this phone was one of several options to choose from. Because I liked my Nokia, and because...

Pros: Small and Lightweight, Great Clarity and Sound, Excellent backlight.
Cons: May be too small for some people.

In the world of microelectronics, smaller is better. The same has been true, for a while, with mobile communications, and with cell phones in particular. Cellular phones are getting smaller, which for most people, is a good thing. I remember the first...

Pros: Think of it as a Nokia 8260 on a party custume. Great reception.
Cons: Flashier and slightly bigger, but not clearly superior to the 8260

I loved my 8260. Superb phone, reliable, cute, small size..had it all. Now comes the 8265 and here I am, ready to get this one before anyone else. I should also mention that I own another cell phone, the also impressive Panasonix TX310. Now that is what...

Pros: Size, Weight, White Backlight, signal
Cons: Headset doesn't have answer/hangup button.

Once upon a time I had a dream about the perfect cell phone. I woke up one morning and my dream came true. To me, a perfect cell phone must be small enough to carry around without burdening you in any way. Have good battery life. Get enough signal to...

Pros: It's a Nokia. Small Size. Bright backlight. Easy Nokia interface.
Cons: Sometimes difficult to dial with teeny buttons.

I bought this phone after my short love affair with the Motorola V60t ended (See my review for the Motorola V60T for AT&T Wireless). This is the 4th phone that I have owned this year. I am hoping that it's the last phone I have to buy for a long time....

Pros: Small Size, Great back light, cool features, ease of use, clarity
Cons: Placement of numeric keys

I have had a Nokia 6161i for 2 years and decided to upgrade because I wanted something a little less hefty to carry in my purse! I didn't realize that not only would I get a smaller, light weight phone, but I would get better call quality! This phone...

Pros: Mobile text messaging, Internet browser.
Cons: None that come to mind.

Is the Nokia 8265 really on the cutting edge of mobile phone technology? I think it is! I mean after all, it’s cheap, it does things those other phones 2-3 times as expensive as it does, and it does them well. The 8265 gets great reception even in are ...

Pros: Small, lightweight.
Cons: Very few features. No data interface. Small. :)

I had a Nokia 5160 that I was very pleased with. I switched to the Ericsson T60 last year and had a horrible experience (see my T60 review).

Update: After 2 days, I have returned this phone and switched to a Nokia 6360. The lack of...

Pros: Light weight; fits in palm the palm of your hand; colorful cases; white screen
Cons: small buttons

Why I Bought This Phone
It seems that every year I end up getting myself a new phone to be different from everyone else. I loved my last phone and just didn't want to have to get a different phone, but I had no choice. My old nokia phone...

Pros: Changeable faceplates, lightweight, custom callergroups and ringtones, excellent reception!
Cons: A little larger than it's predecessor the 8260. Faceplates chip easily.

I just upgraded from the Nokia 8260 after dropping it way too many times and I love this phone. For those familiar with the 8260 the menus are almost identical except that they've increased the number of downloadable ringtones to 10, the menu pictures...

Pros: Like the 8260 but with better call quality
Cons: Slightly bigger than the 8260; Nokia added useless features in lieu of meaningful improvements

The Nokia 8265, as successor to the 8260, shares all the good qualities of the 8260 but in a slightly larger package. (Some claim that the larger size makes it easier to hold, but I don't agree, and I'm not sure why Nokia chose to make the 8265 bigger.)...

Pros: sleek looking phone, easy interface, easy to get attached to
Cons: slightly oversized for its price,

These days, an inprovement, a new edition of anything technological often means that they've figured out a new way of shoving the same stuff into smaller confines. Not true here. Instead, I suppose Nokia wanted to give their popular and well liked 8260 ...

Pros: Ultra-sleek, mega-features, user-friendly
Cons: Price tag!!!

I am a long-standing fan of Nokia model cell phones. I started out with a 5120 model, moved on to a 8260 and now I've upgraded to a 8265.

I could not WAIT until Cingular started carrying this phone! It's just as easy to use as all Nokia...

Pros: Intuitive Nokia interface; great screen; easy to use
Cons: Minor improvement over 8260; difficult keypad; incompatible with 8260 charging stand

I have been a Nokia fan for a while, most recently owning an 8260. I traded it in for a Motorola v60, which was great until I lost it. Nokia definitely has the market cornered on easy-to-use menus, and far exceded the Motorola in this. Although I did...

Pros: Small, long battery life, stylish
Cons: Awful interface, bad feature set

I was attracted to this phone by its looks and features. But once I got to using it, I realized it is a terrible phone. Even though it's small and has great battery life, the user interface is terrible, and it lacks some of the standard features that I...
