My review on Nokia 8910i

Good Points:
-Very nice cool, luxury/elegant blackish cover and silver keypads.
-color screen is good enough for mms, games, and other stuff
-system menu is very fast, i don't like those lagging ones on samsung phones etc.
-good connectivity, bluetooth, gprs, infrared everything you need. (however there some bad points below)
-good memory, can store many people on the contact list, can store plenty messages, etc.
-java application and games stability is excellent.
-game features is amazing, i downloaded Final Fantasy RPG game to play on my phone and i think its the only game i ever need to kill time.
-the titanium cover is strong, you can throw the phones anywhere, many times and the phones will not break except the plastic part on the back of the phone. (but scratches everywhere) (i really did it, when i was fighting over someone on the phone)
-Battery life is excellent.
-if you want to use this phone as paired device for pda, laptop etc for internet gprs connection is excellent choice.
-Who said P900 was better? look at its gigantic size and extremely ugly look.
-voice quality is outstanding, even without handsfree.
-organiser and extra features are very useful.
-excellent signal reception
-its small

Bad points:
-Scratches very easily, and the phone's structures are not mostly made from titanium even on the outer part of the phone there is still a huge plastic part on the back of the phone above the nokia silver sign. the plastic parts break easily.
-opening mechanism gets really bad ater a few weeks of use, and when it gets bad, the upper part of the phone will slide out like a cheap plastic toy when you press it.
-2 bottom corners of the phone screen are blurry (bottom of Menu and Names).
-Phone software is not stable even the lastest one, phone will crash often (specially when its on standby). so don't even think of using the phone as everyday alarm.
-Minimum support from Nokia dealers for repairement, since this is a premium product you have to get in touch with nokia club for repairement
-New casing cost around US150
-No lights on the number keys as this will be problem to some people who dont memorize the alphabet on the key numbers when they try to write SMS
-can't reject calls
-can't transfer files (graphics, ringtones) thru paired devices (mobile phones, pda, etc)
-the bluetooth wireless headset can disconnect by itself because of loss signal while you're on the call.
-dual band only, can't use the phone in the US

Final Point:

-Good for people who want to be "elegant" and "different" since not many people own this phone.If you want to buy high-end phones with excellent features then go look somewhere else this is not the phone for you. you will get very dissapointed with it.
-be ready to change the phone casing at least every 2 months and update the software via nokia club or from those pro mobile mod people on the street.
-when the first time youhave this phone you;re gonna be wow, you can show off to people, friends around you specially with the still new opening mechanism when you receive call.
-You definetly will get annoyed with system unstability, can't reject calls, and scratches on your phone (even if you think you won't), however you will get used to it after a while.
-also i disagree with people who said this is a phone for so called professional or rich or whatever high class thing. It's just a different kind of phone, stop saying weird stuff :P take a look at vertu phones and you will know what im trying to say www.vertu.com

As for me the reason why i bought this phone is because
-i like nokia's phone system and menu, specially on the 8910i as it is very fast like the old nokias. the lagging menus and low frame rate graphic display on other brands are gay. who cares about rich colourful display when its lagging and the frame rate is like 1fps? nokia's graphic doesnt lag at all.
-i don't care about the camera , polyphonic ringtones (normal ringtones sounds more elegant and peaceful to me, others are annoying and who actually listen to them?) and someother all-in-one pointless gadget on a mobile phones as they are really suck and you won't need it most of the time. I'm happy enough with colorful java games, can fit 500 friends on mobile list (diferent numbers, emails, etc), good connectivity (bluetooth, gprs, infrared), good battery life, and everything else that you actually need to have on a phone.
-from my experience, people who use those gadget techonish phone thing that has camera and stuff, soon they will buy a new similiar phone so fast, as the new one come out. I don't think I will buy new phone for about at least 2 years. last time i used my 8210 for 4 years since i think it was a really good phone and i didn't even bother to upgrade even that i got money.
-and the last point is that i've been trying to find a good quality phone which has black color for ages. and at last i found it, This is really the only good quality phone that has "black" color in the market.

I hope my review can help those people who are confused about this phone and for people who are thinking to buy it.

I dont think so,display is to small for MMS,i cant see images clearly

yep,i agree

-good memory, can store many people on the contact list, can store plenty messages, etc.

well,depends, i have 3 games and half memory used,and now i have 159kb free

-Battery life is excellent.

yes, i've used 8810 and 8890 after,comparing to them,battery life of 8910i is more than good

-Scratches very easily,

only chromed parts

and the phone's structures are not mostly made from titanium even on the outer part of the phone there is still a huge plastic part on the back of the phone above the nokia silver sign

that "silver" sign, im afraid, is also plastic,like keys


-Phone software is not stable even the lastest one, phone will crash often (specially when its on standby). so don't even think of using the phone as everyday alarm.

Im sorry but i dont know what r u talking about.My 8910i didnt crashed or showed signs of crashing NEVER.And also i use him as everyday alarm(He wakes me every morning when im going to school)

-New casing cost around US150

Theres no reason for new casing till your phone drops more than a few times

-No lights on the number keys

Yes,thats a bit stupid



-can't reject calls

Actually u can,when phone opens,it still rings and just press end button

I agree with u,dont need camera and all sorts of stuff that serves anything.I used 8890 more then 2 years,and i wanted to buy a phone with color display.I dont know why 8910i doesnt have poly ringtones,cauz welcome tone is polyphonic,at least sounds to me like it is.I chosen 8910i because its different,but i was a bit dissapointed when i found out that i bought 3510i for a way bigger price.
