Probably the first reason.
The same reason my mate is keeping his V3, even though he now has a new W900i.
For those who have with them 2 or 3 fones, there is a possibility that one of those is an 'antique' one, say like, the Ericsson models or old Nokias like - 6210s and 6310is . . . . me still have my T28s today!

Well done to them for capitalising on the style conscious, feature ignorant, naive and ultimately vain consumer.
so u mean to say that all 8800 owners r feature ignorant?for u features/camera quality matter but for some the phone is a status symbol.in some circles what matters is how much the phone costs not what it can do.please do not underestimate some1's intellect by judging it from the phone they own.

You've just said the same thing as me, for some people it matters how a phone looks and costs - they call that vanity.
I never questioned anyones actual intellect, just their sense of materialism.

@fatreg,well he can play around with words but spelling has never been his forte.
@etaab,assuming that 8800 owners r feature ignorant,isn't that challenging their intellect?

@ fatreg - how strange, because when i put the word
geniuses through Word, and check it with the dictionary and thesaurus, it comes back as both spelt correctly and grammatically correct.
Genii is also recognised, and is also considered correct. Therefore, i assume you did not realise both words could be used.
@ ayk - not sure what this thread has got to do with my forte, but its obvious you intend to turn it into a flame war - i refuse to stoop to your level.
Back to topic:
I never assumed that
all 8800 owners are feature ignorant, however, the phone is aimed at that section of the market. Why else would the phone have such a high price tag, with so little features ? it does not even have expandable memory. Nokia have produced this phone for people who's style matters more than features and functionality.
Intelligence isnt measured by the type of phone you buy, rather needs and wants, personal preference and tastes. How you seem to be making that link, im not so sure..
Now heres something that might challenge your intellect - how on earth did you come to the conclusion i was challenging peoples intellect, surely its possible a highly intelligent person could be feature ignorant, style conscious and vain ?

or conversly those people that are not ignorant enough to fall for Networks marketing ploys such as MMS and mobile TV have no need for handsets other than the elegant class of the 8800.
Yes your handset may have hundred's of features but sometimes the best things in life are of minimalistic nature. The 8800 has many features: Bluetooth, MMS, Camera, Email, Large Internal Memory, Speakerphone, Tri/Quad band capability, but yet the phone is able to look so simple with smooth lines.
Stop hating on the phone because you dont think it looks nice....different strokes for different strokes.....regards JJ
The Vertu on the other hand...

It is a very nice phone though. Ive only had hold of one once, but the girl it belonged to loved it, and so did i. Shame about the finger prints and crap memory however.
I loved it, nice screen, great feel to it and very classy looking.
However it quickly became apparent to me that when i tried to send the girl a couple of mp3 files, it was pretty basic - it didnt recognise any 3gp files i sent to it and the mp3's quickly filled up the phones memory.
I class the 8800 in the same class as the V3 - a very nice phone but ultimately limited.

64mb is the most a fashion phone had up until the V3i and L7 with their extra memory capacity.
You can store alot of mp3's on it etc. Don't know why it wouldn't accept your .3gp's because it should've done.
Anyway, brilliant phone.
