Nokia 8600 Alias Luna – the Enchantress
By
Yet another tribute to the awe-inspiring Nature, the Nokia 8600 (alias Luna), is designed to unfold a mysterious saga of the Moon Goddess- Luna. Like the so-called captivating prowess of the Goddess of moonlight, the Nokia 8600 too comes wrapped with unique make and design, to be encircled in a soft radiant beauty. At the same time, the device comes in an expensive package, to ensure that its reserved exclusively for the elite class. Well of course, celestial beauty does not come easy!
The Nokia 8600 deviates from the usual and further builds upon the tradition of experimenting with unique materials. The handset is a melange of stainless steel, titanium and glass. The keypad is hid beneath a smoked glass surface, and only when the phone is activated, the keys become visible. This also becomes the most interesting facet of Nokia 8600. For this area is called the ‘heartbeat’ of the gadget.
When the device awaits a call, there is always something exciting happening there at the spot. Thus, the ‘heartbeat’ transforms the inanimate Nokia 8600 into a virtually alive form. Besides, it also adds to the mysterious allure of the handset. The colour scheme matched well the that of the night sky and makes the flashing of beautiful Menu icons, as interesting as possible.
But Nokia 8600 is not only about celestial charm. The handset is essentially a mobile phone, and thus is endowed with the right balance of aesthetics and ergonomics. For the first time, Nokia use a single micro-USB port. This not only allows for a streamlined design free of extraneous indentations, but also allows for a streamlined design free of extraneous indentation. Quad band GSM support allows for seamless connectivity, while photos captured in its 2 MP camera becomes an eye candy, when viewed through its bright, large display.
With such charm and impressive features, the Nokia 8600 is all geared up to rock the world of fashion mobile phones.

about the maps: connect ONCE to the internet, and browse around the map a bit and let it download atleast 10kb of maps. connect it to a pc and download nokia map loader: delete the maps of the device using the nokia map loader and then use the software to download the whole map (uk, usa, asia, all maps displayed in software). select which map you want and there you go. let it download, and it will copy to your phone/memory card.

Hi!
I have had this phone for about a month now. I love it!
At first, I was hesitant about a new phone. I had JUST purchased a new phone (the Nokia 6085) in August. The 6085 was the newer version of my Nokia 6103, which I absolutely loved. Unfortunately for me, shortly after I purchased the new phone, T-Mobile took over SunCom and all of the features of my new phone were no longer working properly or completely. T-Mobile finally offered me another phone, and I got the 6263, as it was very similar to the other two phones.
It has a camera-still and video. The quality is outstanding for a phone camera! It also has a mirror mode, which makes it easy to take self portraits or just to check yourself out if there is not a mirror available.
Both the internal and external screens are larger than usual, and have LED displays. They are bright and clear.
There is a music player on the phone. I have not used it yet, but I think it is pretty neat. You can not use iTunes on it, though (that is why I have yet to use it). You can listen with earphones or with the speaker.
There is a micro SD card slot, which makes transferring pictures to/from computer and phone easy. It is a little hard to get in and out, which is probably my only complaint about this phone.
There is a web browser preinstalled on the phone. I access sites such as MapQuest, 411.com, Google, Amazon, eBay, MySpace…it is not the same as the internet, but it does come in handy.
The 6263 was Nokia's first phone for the 3G network. That makes little difference to me, since I am not in an area where it is yet available and it will probably be quite some time, if ever, before it is available near me but i fyo uare in a large metropolitan area that might make a difference to you.
It has BlueTooth.
AOL, ICQ, MSN and Y ahoo messengers are preinstalled. Instant messages are billed as text messages, so you do not need the internet to access them.
THere are a lot of neat little ways to personalize the phone for yourself-you can customize the shortcut bar, have a standby mode that puts up the info you want, etc. Little things that you will have to play with the phone to really figure out, but it is great.
I HIGHLY recommend it!

At last this phone has been released N95 with Next G. I just received mine and reception is fantastic. I purchased online from Mobile Extras in WA http://www.mobileextras.com.au I have always get my phones from them.
I first tried to purchase from Next Mobile http://www.nextmobile.com.au as they were a little cheaper but kept getting stuffed around about shipment they have the phone in stock. I rang they wanted me to fax ID I did this and rang back and was told should be ok. I then said when will you ship as I need urgently the answer the salesperson gave me was if you don’t like our service buy it somewhere else then hung up on me.
This just proves that the cheapest price does not give the best service

If you backed up your phone using Nokia Pc Suite you won’t be able to review and print the backup file, but you can sync your N70 with Outlook, and print the contacts from Outlook. Simply use the SYNC app in PC Suite and when done open outlook and print them. Make sure your Outlook is setup first.

Nokia N96 is a really cool phone. Plus, Nokia has been in this industry for many years. People on forums also agree that N96 is a better phone.
