Nokia 8600

$550.00 Released August, 2007

The Pros:Unique design with striking contrasting colors and materials. Display is bright enough to handle full daylight. Quad band works on almost any network.

The Cons:Ring tones aren't very loud, even when turned all the way up. Antenna position makes it difficult to hold without interfering with the signal. High sar value... gives u headache during long calls.

The Nokia 8600 is a quad-band handset, made to be a luxury phone because of its unique sliding design. The frame is made of stainless steel with chrome accents, and a glass covering for the keypad, which is supposed to glow because of backlighting when the glass cover is closed.
