Nokia 8210

I've had my Nokia 8210 since early this year and as usual I never bothered to read the instructions. My efforts at mastering modern technology normally consist of asking the hubby how to do something (he?s not any cleverer than me, it's just that I?m lazy!). I get him to read the instructions and then tell me, at least once. How do I write an op about my little phone without going through the boring task of fixing my eyes on the 'how to' leaflet? Well, I'm probably going to have to aren't I? I will leave it as long as I possibly can though; the reason being is that I'll tell you first of all about what I do know. I figure ...  Read the complete review

After living with a brick as a mobile phone I decided I needed a change. After numerous considerations, I decided to stick with my operator, orange, and buy a contract phone. I had a little look on the orange website and viewed all their available contract phones and saw a few that took my fancy, the little Motorola one looks super nice but my wage didn’t go up to cover that as a luxury non-necessity. I eventually settled on the Nokia 8210, it jumped out at me and screamed buy me, what was I supposed to do?! Why I went for this phone… Well apart from the voices in my head I know that Nokia are a reliable and popular manufacturer of mobiles. I ...  Read the complete review

Have you ever wanted something so bad that you overlooked the cons and bought it anyway, only to have increasing thoughts as to why did you, and that you shouldn't have done it?? I have!! Oh yes, the 8210 may look cool, and you may be the envy of all your 'Motorola 520c'd' friends [there's nothing wrong with that phone, its just the heaviest/biggest model phone that I can think of at the moment!!] when you whip out this 79g mobile, especially since its been 'dressed' in a new metallic pink fascia!! But it has it faults. Should we do those first, or plough straight into the good points?? Lets do the good points, ...  Read the complete review

I've worked for Orange for nearly 11 years and in that time have been lucky enough to own most of the phones in the range (and a few that didn’t make it) thanks to some of the jobs I've had in the company. Out of all of them I can honestly say the 8210 is without doubt the best I have ever had the pleasure of using. I’ve now had this handset for a good few months so I decided it was time to update the initial review I did of this excellent handset as the first one didn’t really do it justice. First of all I’ll give you an overview of the handset and then I’ll go into a little more detail where necessary of the various ...  Read the complete review

When the Nokia 8210 first was launched I was itching to get my hands on one. It looked so cool and smart and the size and weight alone were enough to persuade me to go out and buy the Phone. I got an 8210 in December 2000 quite a number of months after it's original launch. I had a Motorola Timeport which was fine but I wanted the little Nokia 8210. I was within the first 12 months of my Contract with Orange and I went down to the Orange shop in Bradford to sort myself out with an upgrade. I paid £129.99 for the upgrade and then another £70.00 upgrade fee. I know you think I must be mad but I really wanted this little baby. Our relationship started very well ...  Read the complete review
