The only only main difference between the phones is the 8890 is Tri-band but with the addition of small aerial.but physically the same as the 8850,which is designed for the 900MHz and 1800MHz bands.

Yes, same frame, fascias and design . . . but the 8890 has an EXTERNAL antenna while the 8850 does NOT have . . .

The 8850 is a GSM 900/1800 while the 8890 is GSM 900/1900. Note, the 8890 is NOT triband, I have physically put an GSM 1800 simcard (T-Mobile/Orange) and the phone will NOT pick up reception! The rest is correct, there is a small ariel on the 8890 while there isn't one on the 8850.

aaa ok is 1 worth more than the other?

i did notice the 8890 had the external antenna but i got the antenna with no external bit aswell so i didn't know if the previous owner brought it as an extra.. must say i think the external antenna is cool! a bit of vintage

originally the 8890 was worth more than the 8850 but now i would say they proberbly hold the same value.
