Battery life is crap compared to the 8600.I use the phone alot and 8600 has never gone dead on me and never dropped to its last bar.So im a happy camper

Supplier got them yesterday but I'm not sure if I want to get them now as I don't want to be stuck with them and it's a lot of cash to lay out!

I got an E65 in for someone but she changed her mind which is annoying.

Yeah its amazing, I love it and dont want to sell it for a while.

as far as I can tell however, it's basically a Nokia 6300 in fancy casing!

Yeah i have the 6300.Most of the nokia phones are just recased and sold as a different model so this is the same thing.But still its a nice looking phone and thats what you pay for.

jrey1981

considering the cost of a 6300 though, it's expensive casing!

I'd like to keep my 8600, but I just can't justify it. What if I dropped it and scratched the casing or broke the glass? I'd probably cry :eek:

Whereas with my 6230i I'll just buy a new fascia.

Yeah i would agree with you.I am keeping it for a while i have had it for afew weeks and thank god no stratch or crack and hope it stays this way.I know if i let it fall i would be gutted as it would cost minimum 150 to replace the casing.I just seen the new version of the N95 today.Its going to be black and have a larger screen and a better video quality.I used it today as my friend works in nokia.The ba$tard gets free phones and has 2 n95's and a 8600 and got the 8600 late 2006 as he tests the phones. I would love that job.:)

jrey1981

Yeah its got a nice suede feel to it. And of course the black colour makes it look nicer.

any pics at all?

Had my second ever call about the 8600 Luna today...from a builder. I advised him it's not really the kind of phone you want on a building site

Even though I love my n93, I'm itchy for a change. It's going to be either the e90 (For tech, but I can't believe they left the fax out this time around), or the 8600 for chic. Decisions decisions!

Was the first one a prank call.I hate when someone calls you and dont have the money in the first place and the worst is last week someone rang me and mentioned that the 8800 sirocco is newer than the 8600
He must be a bloody fool

No it wasn't a prank call. He wasn't sure whether to get the 8600 luna or the N95. Hopefully he's buying an N95 instead
