Nokia 6800 GSM Mobile Phone

Date Published: 12/14/07

The Nokia 6800 GSM Mobile Phone is a product designed for those who need a functional cell phone with one important feature: e-mail.

Though it looks like a standard candy-bar Nokia phone, the 6800 butterflies open to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard. So for those that like to type out missives (POP and IMAP4 e-mail are supported), keeping in contact is worlds easier.

Because there are times where opening the phone isn't practical, you can also write messages on the phone's regular keypad using predictive input.

As for the phone's performance, call quality is excellent and the lithium-ion battery will provide about 5 hours of talk time and 8 days of standby before recharging is required. Other features include: voice dialing, built-in FM radio, a 500-entry telephone book, and vibrating ring.

Overall, the Nokia 6800 GSM Mobile Phone is an excellent (and very reasonably priced) phone for people who use e-mail as a primary mode of communication.
