Mobilefun must be off their tree if they can justify £950!
Absolutely; £150-odd more for the exactly the same handset! Wonder what they would charge for one of those 'Aston Martin' Nokia 8800's...

I frankly don't know what all the fuss is about with the 8800 ...it may be a well built phone..but i think the design is below average and specs are poor for a handset of that price to say the least...I woud'nt even keep one if it was given to me for free..proberbly flog it on ebay!

8800 is a bad joke, crap features, way to overpriced.

its made to be unique from other mobiles and not for everyone to use and not exclusive too everyone, that is why they have these 8xxx series mainly for the ones who can afford taht junk to show off:P

spot on Pow!
Nokia 8XXX arent made for your everyday person well except the 8310!
other than that the 8810/8850/8890/8910/8910i/8800 have all been well overpriced and well underspecced.
thats the whole idea! they are meant for the elite among us (well those with a big enough wad) your typical nokia 8800 owner doesnt want a camera, a radio, an mp3 player, GPS, they want a phone , one that calls and can send the odd text. to which an 8800 fits the bill. take for example Vertu, you all slag off how overpriced an 8800 is, what about a vertu? up until recently they had monochrome screens! phones that work dont have gadgets. just like a swiss army knife, it does exactly what it is meant to, its a knife, it cuts thing, a Nokia 8800 is a phone, it phones people!
i wish some of you people would understand the concept behing Nokia premium products, you expect a lot more, and thats what you get!
after all in life, you get what you pay for. (im a firm firm believer in that)

ermm im the great mind pow!
i dont believe its a market stragery, Nokia i believe that they have a nice little niche in the market and right now they are the only people filling it, yes youll see the odd rival V3i D and G, etc but it just doesnt cut it, at the end of the day its still a V3i not matter how you badge it up!

Same can be said with almost anything these days. Look at cars for instance. New model pops up 10k more but has 4 more colours available and a sun roof.
sorry for going off topic
