Advantages: Lovely phone

Disadvantages: price

The Nokia range of phones are phenomenally successful and you can see why. The 8210 is the latest in a line of hot phones with a distinctive look and this one is about as good as they have come.
Distinctly small, this phone fits comfortably in the palm of your hand when in use, and can be slipped to a back pocket or handbag with easy, and so small and light is it, you won’t even know its there. This is another good example of the advancement in technology, as this phone is about a thirds of the size of the smallest phone only a few years ago, and while this is small, there are smaller around even! That said, few others offer the same size/function/performance as this, and I feel with this model, Nokia have the balance about right.
Great coverage and wonderful reception, this phone responds well under tough circumstances such as indoors and remote locations. You’ll have the usually problem in places such as covered car parks, lifts etc. but this is a characteristic of all phones and not just this model.
A stack of pre-programmed ring tones, although they are not the bests selection I have ever seen, and 5 (yes 5, as opposed to the usual one!) empty slots for you to program your own, either by download to the phone, sent to your phone, or by typing them in using the keypad.
Capable of holding around 300+ phone numbers in its address book (I’m not certain of this figure, but it will hold are more then you need, that’s for sure!) and an ergonomically designed keypad, this phone is always a pleasure to use and never a burden.
The voice activation is a great little feature to show off to your mates and make them jealous, but it can be a little tricky to get it working reliably. However, with a bit pf practice, you will soon master the art of talking like a robot and have it working in not time! :)
There are thousands of covers and designs available, and the logo’s and ring tones are everywhere now. This phone can be cu
stomized to the hilt, and its hard to fault this phone except for the price), and is a sure fire hit with me.


For me it offers everything I want in a phone, and meets all my needs. At the moment, there isn’t another phone that offer the same performance and practicality all in the same package for anything like an affordable price, and this certainly gets a thumbs up from me!
