    Guys im interested in purchasing a nokia 8801, is this the exact same as a nokia 8800.will it work here in ireland and also what gsm network does ireland use eg gsm1800 etc

    hope someone can help
    thanks

    eg 8801 is Service: GSM 850/1800/1900 MHz
    and 8800 is Tri-band operation GSM coverage on up to five continents (GSM 900/1800/1900 networks)

    does that make a difference

    so ruu ,the 8801 will work i think.as i checked ebay to do some research on the differences of these phones.it looks like people are selling 8801 as 8800's so that means they work in europe.
    thanks

    Im afraid without 900 ..the coverage will be quite limited mainly to urban areas where it will pick up the 1800

    yep you are screwed outside towns and cities without the gsm 900. My dad got an old 1800mhz nokia before and it wouldn't work out here in the sticks
