Well I have an 8800 and I like the fact that I havent seen anyone else with one yet. Plus its a reliable phone that looks damn good. I dont fancy any of the NOkia's with the slower menus.

maybe i'll get n90, one big questions! does n90 runs another s60 apps full screen/strecth to full screen? coz n90 screen size diffrent from the others. if not it will be a big consideration 4 me!
Yes S60 apps run on N90, and are resized to adapt to the screen resolution (they of course look pixelized). And there you can notice how excellent the N90 screen is!!!
As to battery life, I saw some comments its bad... I have nothing to complain about that!! It is good. Note that I intentionally switched off UMTS use to only use GSM.

Yeah, well if i tow my Park Avenue i will get much better mileage.. wouldnīt it be better if Nokia saw fit to give N90 a battery up to the task of running the phone the way it was intended for a decent time between charges?

@ThreeX
It seems you misinterpreted my post...
I intentionally switched off UMTS *because* I simply see no use for it, not because of battery life. Coverage is patchy, I couldnt care less about videotelephony and most importantly because there are serious issues in idle mode (common to all 3G phones) where you could have your phone camp on a 3G cell with absolutely no service available!! and no possibility to go back to GSM!!
GSM/EDGE provides me with what I want and need.

@Super G
Fair enough mate, i was just still aggravated after having my 6680 away for 10 days because battery standby decreased from 3 days to less than 24 hours and the lady in the phone shop tipped me that switching off UMTS would get me better standby.
I STILL feel Nokia should realize that they made a battery hungry phone and thus fit a bigger capacity one.
I respect your reasons of course, but thatīs not an issue in my case. I have brilliant 3G coverage like 90% of the time
The phone just happens to be a battery guzzler apparently...
EDIT: After service/fw-flash it has gone back up to 3 (x24 hours) days, maybe i should try setting it to GSM only and see what difference it makes just for the hell of it.

threeX: the problem with 3G is especially in buildings where there is a poor coverage and the phone tends to boost the radio part to catch some 3G signal. this apply for every brand actually.
I achieved with GSM only mode one extra day which a lot in my books. and since I did not use 3G as my primary connection and EDGE & GPRS serves well for email and browsing with the built in browser I decided to run on the GSM mode only

For travellers the good choise is Nokia E70: quad-band GSM + UMTS! I guess, this is the first "five-band" mobile phone in the world.
