8910i opinions

Firs off, this is my first post, so sorry if I'm jumping in feet/torso/head first .

I'm using a 7210 at the moment, and I hate it, the last phone I had which I actually liked was the SE t68i.

My problem is, Im really thinking of getting the 8910i because I just love the look of it, and I would love peoples opinions/ideas on it.

I dont care about polyphonic ringtones (I think they are REALLY annoying and far to quiet), picture/MMS messaging I dont really need to worry about, and I dont care about a camera, as I had a camera for the t68i and the 7210, took both back because nomatter what anyone says to me, you cant take a good or anyway useful picture without a flash. When it comes to gadgets like mp3 playing and a such, I have an iPod !

So what do you people think of the 8910i mobile? Please constructive posts, no 'Nokia is crap, this phone sucks' if you havent got anything clever to say, dont plast, thanks!

Edit: This will be my 10th mobile in 5 years, so I want to make it a good one! Any other mobile suggestions would be brilliant! Not the T610 tho, look how man posts there are on the forums, it just amkes me think hi-tech 3310

In terms of physical structure, my vote goes to Nokia 8910i because it is made of titanium alloy. However, when talking of screen quality, the 8910i is nothing but a toy. First of all, the quality of its screen is the same as the screen of NOkia 3510i. No difference at all. Its like you bought yourself another screen of T68i. People won't notice it anyway. What people will see is its elegant appearance. It is very stylish and beautiful.

If you're looking for a phone like this because of its executive look, then go for Nokia 8910 black edition. It is grayscale and its screen I think is far better than the 3510i.

If you will consider another phone,on the other hand, I suggest go for the Nokia 6100. It's very light, stylish too, and easy to use.

I think that you cannot make a mistake if you acquire Nokia 8910i.
It is stylish, compact, just the right dimensions and weight and simply beautiful.
The sole purpose of that phone is to receive and make calls and to make other people envy.
It is not for something that could use a bigger and more sophisticated display, it's not for MMS, it's not for extensive SMS, it is just simple in usage, well built, very beautiful status symbol, like piece of jewelry that can establish a phone connection.
If you like to play Java games do not buy it, if you need glasses to find out who is calling you do not buy it.
On the other hand if you want the best, and just a step from a Vertu models in style, and if you want that your phone remains breathtaking for at least two years and to hold it's high price for a decent period of time that is the ONLY model for you.

Hi
I would suggest you also to get the 8910 normal not "i".
Because the normal one is far better screenwise. It is a good grayscale with nice lighting, it kind of depends why you hate the 7210...if it is because of the functions and menu it will be kind of the same with 8910i. But screen is really bad colorwise. So why would you get a baaaaad color screen when you could get the same shape and design cheaper with a very goooood B/W screen.

God created our brain to spend our money wisely... 8910 is much cheaper here than 8910i, but both are very expensive. Soooo since 8910i is really bad colorwise and since the JoJo friend does not really need MMS then maybe he should save few bucks by getting the 8910 instead of the newer version.This is all I meant. I don't know about you but for me there are plenty of colors out there to look and adore beside my stupid phone display. So try using your eyes on those colors... (Just kidding... you can look at whatever color you want not my bussiness anyhow)
Cheers bro.

You also better view some of the problems alot of people are having with the phone. Overall the phone is very expensive and looks good, but the fancy flip and be a headache as you have to always press it to open it and it move pretty slow. When you receive a message, you HAVE to open it to read it unlike the 8850 or 8855.

Not sure if bluetooth really matter to you but many ppl are complaining that the bluetooth with this phone has many troubles connecting with other devices that are not Nokia's.

As you would know, the keypad is pretty small and hard to press, especially lower lines of keys. Also, only sections of it lights up, and you will not be able to see the numbers or anything. Try using the phone in a taxi before night or at night. It's hard unless you've memorized everything which most people do anyway.

Also, there is no volume button on the right hand side of the phone.

The 8910i has colour screen but using same old battery as the 8910, so therefore battery consumption on the 8910i is worst.

And I think the greyscale screen of the 8910 actually looks more stylish than the toyish colour screen. The design of this phone does not suit with the colour screen. But that's for me personally. Might be different for other people...

Also, when you receive a call, you cannot reject the call as no buttons are visible, and when you open the slide, you answer the call. And this is not an option. You can't actually set the phone to answer with a key instead like what Motorola has.

Woah! thanks for the info! I would prefer the colour screen (and I might make the ocasional MMS, like once a month or something).

The slide is a worry, as is the bluetooth and the rejecting call thing a me, I'll try it out in the carphonewarehouse before i buy it, thanks again!

Ha-ha-ha, you are 100% right, you got me laughing real hard, OK brother, if you say so, I haven't seen 8910 in real life so I don't know if the display is better then the one on 8910i.
I'll take your word on it.

The 8910i is a waste of money. Nokia has done such a half-hearted job with the device: They've added 4,096 colours, but kept the same low resolution as the greyscale version, provided Bluetooth but only audio, crafted it out of titanium(an extremely light material), yet it weighs over 100g. I stongly recommend the Siemens SL55, also a slider phone but much more compact and with better resolution, and with full MMS(audio & slideshow), supporting an attachable camera with FLASH!, which the 8910i does not. Or if you really need Bluetooth, the Siemens S55.

Interesting discussion happening here guys hehehe. Canocep u are relly funny!

Well if you have money buy 8910i. Why not 8910? Well most of ppl who buy this phone are use for status purpose only. Its just to separate you from other muggles (as MR POTTER said) out there.

Even though 8910 is better in value, especially right now when the 'i' edition come out, this phone have lost half of its value. Therefore it mean CHEAP stuff, how can u use old model goods for status symbol? U buy it mean that u are rich, when u rich money is not an object, therefore when the new one come out, throw away the old one and replace it with new one hehehe.

Come to think of it Nokia is not dumb too, they created 8910i with such a little technology advancement, therefore their production cost can be minimised. So that they can make maximum profit out of it. Most of 8910 series buyers are also rich people (can be business executive who used phone as a phone). Even if Nokia put so much features such as EDGE or Bluetooth they dont know how to used it anyway Anyone agree with me?

The mean used of mobile phone is to pick up and recieving call only, and some sms - mms related messaging services. All other things (bluetooth,irda,etc) are just complimentary. Not everyone appreciate it, except tech freek like us So once again go get your 8910i, I think its a good phone that will catagorize u as other than common normal working peoples

Love the post Hans2! this will be my tenth phone, and I pridde myself on being different from everybody else, and since I think I can get the 8910i for £300 (sterling) i think I'll go for it, I just lov the look of that phone!

The Seimens SL55 is a very nice phone, but not... different .

Well hopefully I'll have the phone tomorrow, I'll let you all know how its going, everybody have a on me .

I have 8910 and I like it! You can reject calls because when you open cover (that last 1 sec maybe less) you have time to press Reject or Silence key, so I don't have problem with that.

Go for IT!
__________________
As if that small aspect would be a reason for buying a mobile. Anyway, the Sl55 is different, especially aesthetically. What other phone has a screen that slides over the keypad, is smaller than your palm, weighs less than 80g, supports a camera add-on with FLASH!, has all the benefits of being a Siemens(reliability, build quality, highly customizable interface, exclusivity) and happens to be the most gorgeous phone currently on sale?
__________________
The Nokia 7650 screen does the sliding bizz and has a larger screen, Im not interested in phone with cameras, with or without a flash, if you want a camera, get a Compaq PowerShot or if you want proper pictures get an SLR camera.

To me the SL55 is trying to be like every other phone out at the moment (from SE and Nokia), what I mean is 'oh look at me, Im a phone with gadgets that you play with for a week, am so new age looking with my sliver plastic/metal, Im so new and new millenium like'.

This to me is boring, its a very good phone, but its the same as all the other 'new age' mobiles out at the moment.

I got my 8910i, different for eveything else out there, unique, does everything you need from a phone, and as for cameras, I've got all the cameras I need without sticking a useless one on my phone, thank you very much!

I use my phone for calling people, txting and sometimes email and to be honest the skydiver game that comes with the 8910i is better than any I downloaded for the 7210.

Let me put it this way, when you want a good sound system you dont buy an all in one job, you get seperates, the best amp, speakers, cd player, reciever. Thats how I look at my mobile phone, you get the best mobile, camera, PDA, mp3 player;

you dont get a jack of alll trades, master of none

Now go drink up!

Well most of you don't mention that the 8910i handles j2me applications. It means you can dl many applications like webviewer, full pop email clients and even office appl on the 8910i. Especially because it can handles full pop email (WITH NOTIFICATION if you have activated GPRS!) it's for me the far better phone than the 8910. With the wallpaper function you can give this phone your own individual style instead of the dreadful looking B/W tiny looking old-fashioned logo's of the 8910. BTW, the display is beautiful, very contrastfull and because it has a tiny screen the pictures on the display are much sharper than any other phone
