Nokia 8910i Review
Phone rating: 
The Nokia 8910i is a unique mobile phone. Constructed with black titanium
covers, and with a smooth slide opening action, the 8910i is deisgned
to make a big first impression. Titanium metal is as strong as steel
and as light as aluminium, making it an excellent durable material,
albeit very expensive! This is, of course, the point.
It must be understood that by paying £400+ for a phone you are
buying exclusivity and looks, not the latest technology. Inside its
titanium case, the Nokia 8910i cannot compete with more modern phones
feature-wise. True, it has all the basics for making calls and messaging
and can sync with a PC using Bluetooth™, but that's it. The display
is poor quality in comparison with the latest phones; only 4096 colours,
and the passive matrix technology means that the screen is dim and very
difficult to read outdoors. There are no applications such as email,
or organiser functions that come with smartphones. And of course, if
you want a camera, MP3 player, etc, then please look elsewhere.
The 8910i fits a narrow niche, and fits it well: the person wanting
a phone with essential phone features only, but one that will make a
big impression.
The 8910i has now been replaced by the Nokia
8800, which offers the same exclusivity and style but with more
up-to-date features as well.
Features of the Nokia 8910i include:
- Display: passive matrix, 4096 colours
- Bluetooth™ wireless connectivity
- SMS, Multimedia messaging
- Message templates
- Predictive text input
- Speed dialing for up to 9 names
- Voice dialing for up to 10 names
- Call waiting, call hold, call divert, call timer
- Two preloaded games: Backgammon and Sky Diver
- Downloadable Java™ games & applications
- Phone book (up to 500 entries)
- Calendar notes (up to 250 entries)
- To-do list (up to 30 entries)
- WAP
- Dual band (GSM 900/1800)
- Size: 103 x 46 x 20 mm
- Weight: 112g
- Talktime: up to 4.5 hours
- Battery standby: 6 - 12 days

It is little wonder to see the one and two star reviews spelled so incompetently,
with their puerile arguments against the phone entirely lacking substance.
This is a phone that is all about looks. To say that "you may as well
get a different phone because it does the same job and is cheaper" is
entirely missing the point, and perhaps goes some way as to explaining
the poor quality of English used in the reviews. Those who pay attention
in school tend to go on to bigger and better things, like being able
to actually afford this phone. You may as well say that no one should
buy a Rolex because a Swatch works just as well. A Rolex is not about
telling the time, its about telling everyone else what you can afford
to tell the time on. The Nokia 8910 is not about making calls, its about
telling everyone else what you can afford to make calls on. Unlike many
other reviews here, I actually own this device. I have had it for many
years and it remains, even now, a head turner. It gets surprisingly
good reception, the battery lasts a lot longer than smartphones and
I can do everything I need my telephone to do: send messages and make
and receive calls. I have a netbook and a laptop for Internet access,
so I don't need that on my phone. I have a very good CyberShot pocket
camera, so I don't need that on my phone. I have a broadband dongle
for my mobile computers, so I don't need that on my phone. The build
quality is extremely high, as you would expect for something constructed
principally out of titanium. It is strong and durable. The keys are
small, but they need to be to fit into such a small package. The way
the phone slides open is now, and will remain, futuristic, regardless
of what year it is. The phone is years old and it still looks like it
is more advanced than modern phones. The only true downside is the screen
quality, which is a little dim, but I have never had a problem looking
at it outside in any weather conditions other than the brightest glare,
the type that has you squinting even to see ahead of yourself. Having
a dim screen is the only aspect of this phone that could be improved.
This phone epitomises a market of people that can afford it and it does
so with style. For everyone who has slammed it for its cost: it's made
of titanium, that is an expensive metal which is difficult to work with.
For everyone who has slated its lack of features: maybe you should have
read the writing on the box first. For everyone that has slated it incoherently:
please stay off the Internet, there is enough nonsense on here without
fools like you adding to it. This phone is awesome, you do get what
you pay for in abundance, and you are paying for quality and style.
I'm glad that I am among the people that love this device, looking at
the ones who hate it remind me that I am in good company.

My brother gave me this phone yesterday... FOR FREE. I took it to college
and was amazed by the number of stares and 'WOWs' I got from people
who saw me using it... It was only when I got home I realised just how
amazing this little phone is (and how much it's worth!). I was only
planning on using it for 3 weeks until my other brother sends me a Motorola
V600... But I think I might stick with this one! Sexy and stylish it'll
get you noticed, granted. GREAT phone!

I have had my phone now for 7 months, and am 21 years old. Now, all
my mates have different phones (fortunately not this one) and yes, they
all go on saying why did you pay this much etc when their phone does
all these other things. But I ask them "yes it does all these things,
but it just does not look the tits does it?". They all love playing
with the sliding motion, and they all would want one themselves but
just cannot afford it. It is a guaranteed head turner, marks you out
as classy, and straight down to business. If you want a camera, buy
a camera. How many people do you turn and stare at in disgust when you
are down the pub who play with their ringtones?! You just appear like
you have no sophistication. Do not be a lamb and follow the masses,
buy this phone. Plus, it also never fails to impress when in a club
and pull it out to get a rather fit looking young ladies number ;)

At the end of the day as alot of people have said if u want a mp3 player
buy one, if u want a digicam buy one. OK, I admit i like a good camera
phone because of the ease of taking a quick pic but stop complaining
about these things when its a phone. Its a good phone to show off with
the price and the great titanium case especially if ur not good at looking
after phones. Its a great phone.

People that say this phones downfall is it's price obviously can't afford
it. Which is fine, that is the whole idea! Truth is this phone was the
commercial prototype of the Vertu - (a phone which even I cannot afford
YET! Give me time.) I can only reiterate the reviews that I have read
really. I have had mine for around three years and I have yet to find
another phone (except the Vertu) worthy of upgrading to, despite being
pestered by my service provider. I am a Project Director at a design
consultancy and therefore don't wish to be screamed at by ridiculous
ring tones, nor do I wish to use the crappy cameras found on lesser
phones. At the end of the day if you want to take photos, buy a camera.
All in all a fantastic phone that balances form with 'usable' function.

This is a stylish and robust business phone. The battery lasts forever,
the reception is strong, the keys are easy to use, the software is intuitive,
it has Bluetooth and it looks great. I have now had this one after an
awful year with a tatty, unreliable silvery plastic Motorola V525. It
had a MP3 player, a phone, lots of games and was polyphonic - and it
did the business of being a phone really very badly. God, how I grew
to hate it in only one year... This phone has class. It isn't even for
most under 25's I suspect. Anyone who spells phone "fone" and mate "m8"
is probably better off buying the latest little posing accessory rather
than considering this. Anyway - to each their own. Happy New Year!

Ok, so i don't have this fone, but my mate does, It has an amazin exterior.
Titanium, wit sliding front. This is a huge plus ot this fone, its sexy
exterior and almost mysterious image impresses most people. The fact
that it is sooo expensive shudnt be a point for snobbery, but an opertunity
for sum1 to get an exclusive fone, which not everyone has the chance
to get. If you want a fone with all the basic quialities, this is the
fone for u! the ony snags i find are the quiality of lighting on the
screen and keypad and the fact that the fone doesnt hav a camera, if
these were fixed, this wud be the fone 4 me!!! If u hav the money, buy

Lets not be silly now, this phone is great and it is really professional
and elegant, but i think all people who have it just cost it is expensive
and bragg about it are complete snobs. I got the phone cheap for about
150 pound and have loved it, but i would never pay 500 pound for this.
I look at all the reviews and people think they are so special coz they
own an 8910i, but heaps have it. It is a good phone with the basic features
needed. I have a camera. I have a camcorder and i have an mp3 player,
so i dont need once of those fancy phones. And in most phones, the camera
is poor quality, the camcorder has no sound and can only record for
about 15 seconds and the phone can hold about 4 mp3 songs! Cheers, daniel

Ok let's put this nokia 8910i in terms of a car's perspective. Have
you had that feeling where you drive past and no-one really looks at
you well that's because you drive a car which in fact maybe a flashy
car but face it "average" And the next minute you see a Rolls Royce
pull up by you or maybe even a Ferrari or whatever and suddenly everyone
is amazed well this is no different to the nokia 8910i. I suggest if
you want that feeling and be honest to yourself of course you do EVERYONE
does. See in this world is all about money nobody cares if your a doctor
or whatever your nobody till your somebody, so if you want to be that
person who doesn't get no looks or attention then by all means buy a
camera radio mp3 phone but if you do, go get a 8910i p.s if you wondering
I do actually have this excellent phone and also a Ferrari and Rolls
Royce believe me I don't have to prove it quality speaks for it self
just like the NOKIA 8910i

Just come across this site and wanted to add my experience of the 8910,
but since there seems to be only the 8910i review, I guess the comments
are applicable there too. I selected the 8910 handset for mainly 2 reasons.
1) It had a titanium body which implied to me toughness and the ability
to ignore drops/bumps. 2) It had a cover for the keys to prevent those
annoying calls made while the phone in on your pocket. The reality is
that neither works properly. The first bump the phone had resulted in
the sliding cover coming off and pulling out the wires. IIRC around
£47 worth of repairs. And the sliding cover loves to open itself in
your pocket. In fact, near the end of it's life it just needed a featherlight
touch on one side to spring open. That aside, the phone is fine once
you have got used to the keys being so close together. And Nokia's annoying
habit of putting daft/unexpected/very annoying, questions/screens in
the menus etc. (But IME Nokia is better than most at limiting that).
Worth getting, but be aware of the limitations.

Hi, It seems to me that this phone tends to draw extreme reactions from
its owners - love it or hate it. I have liked it since i laid eyes on
it and prefer its simplicity in terms of its functions to some of its
more capable cousins. The drawback, of course, is its dualband compatibility
and would therefore, not work in the US. Here's the interesting thing
though : found some 8910i phones for sale on ebay(.com). Now some of
these phones were based in Canada and the owner seemed to target the
American market. Now I'm not very techno savvy so I would appreciate
any feedback that anyone can give me on this matter. I really would

After looking at the Nokia 8910i in a phone shop in town i decided to
purchase one as i was due an upgrade on my current handset. I previously
owned a Nokia 7210 and found i wasn't using any of the additional functions
it had; i used the phone only to send and recieve SMS, and PHONE people.
These two basic functions i beleive are what a mobile phone is designed
for and the Nokia 8910i does both of these things brilliantly and in
true style. Come on guys (and gals) how many phones on the market look
as good as the 8910i? In my view the only phone that matches the 8910i
in terms of looks is the Vertu mobile; this however will set you back
considerably more money than an 8910i. In my opinion, and i think many
fans will agree with me, people purchase the Nokia 8910i because they
want something a little different, something a little special, a phone
that does the basics very well and a phone that is classy without being
flashy. I beleive that if you want to carry a laptop computer in your
pocket then buy a Sony P900 because thats essentially what it is but
don't be surprised when the screen breaks and you can't call anyone.
Buy a 8910i if you want to have a basic phone that works well and looks
excellent.

This is the coolest phone I have ever owned, and i've owned a lot so
I should know. I have just replaced my P900 with it. Fair enough, it
does not do nearly all the things I could do with my P900 (watch and
make videos, take pictures, touch screen, games, and a load of other
pointless applications), but what I finally realised after like 2 years,
is that you dont need all that crap. Its really very simple. All you
need a phone to do is fit in your pocket, look nice, make calls and
if you're lucky, make your friends go oooooooohhhhhh. The 8910i certainly
does these things. It has a few nice features like infrared, bluetooth,
calender, colour screen, WAP and some games. And its all you need. It
looks the dogs bollocks and thats what I've decided I want. A bit worried
about the mechanism after a lot of use, but sod it, i'll get a new one.
This is without question, beyond doubt, above all, bar non - the coolest,
sexiest phone I have ever, and possibly will ever, use. Anyone who says
otherwise clearly has absolutely no idea what they are talking about.
Or they're 12. Sorry.

not only superior reception, but is in a class of its own. If you want
a phone for kids you can buy a camera phone with britney ring tones.

I purchased my Nokia 8910i three months ago in London. As many people
have already said it is an excellent "back to basics" phone that makes
and receives calls. I didn't want a camera or funny ring tones, just
too many things to go wrong. Excellent battery life and sound quality.
I don't send many text messages but illuminated keys would be handy
when using the phone at night.

-Very nice cool, luxury/elegant blackish cover and silver keypads. -color
screen is good enough for mms, games, and other stuff -system menu is
very fast, i don't like those lagging ones on samsung phones etc. -good
connectivity, bluetooth, gprs, infrared everything you need. (however
there some bad points below) -good memory, can store many people on
the contact list, can store plenty messages, etc. -java application
and games stability is excellent. -game features is amazing, i downloaded
Final Fantasy RPG game to play on my phone and i think its the only
game i ever need to kill time. -the titanium cover is strong, you can
throw the phones anywhere, many times and the phones will not break
except the plastic part on the back of the phone. (but scratches everywhere)
(i really did it, when i was fighting over someone on the phone) -Battery
life is excellent. -if you want to use this phone as paired device for
pda, laptop etc for internet gprs connection is excellent choice. -Who
said P900 was better? look at its gigantic size and extremely ugly look.
-voice quality is outstanding, even without handsfree. -organiser and
extra features are very useful. -excellent signal reception -its small
Bad points: -Scratches very easily, and the phone's structures are not
mostly made from titanium even on the outer part of the phone there
is still a huge plastic part on the back of the phone above the nokia
silver sign. the plastic parts break easily. -opening mechanism gets
really bad ater a few weeks of use, and when it gets bad, the upper
part of the phone will slide out like a cheap plastic toy when you press
it. -2 bottom corners of the phone screen are blurry (bottom of Menu
and Names). -Phone software is not stable even the lastest one, phone
will crash often (specially when its on standby). so don't even think
of using the phone as everyday alarm. -Minimum support from Nokia dealers
for repairement, since this is a premium product you have to get in
touch with nokia club for repairement -New casing cost around US150
-No lights on the number keys as this will be problem to some people
who dont memorize the alphabet on the key numbers when they try to write
SMS -can't reject calls -can't transfer files (graphics, ringtones)
thru paired devices (mobile phones, pda, etc) -the bluetooth wireless
headset can disconnect by itself because of loss signal while you're
on the call. -dual band only, can't use the phone in the US Final Point:
-Good for people who want to be "elegant" and "different" since not
many people own this phone.If you want to buy high-end phones with excellent
features then go look somewhere else this is not the phone for you.
you will get very dissapointed with it. -be ready to change the phone
casing at least every 2 months and update the software via nokia club
or from those pro mobile mod people on the street. -when the first time
youhave this phone you;re gonna be wow, you can show off to people,
friends around you specially with the still new opening mechanism when
you receive call. -You definetly will get annoyed with system unstability,
can't reject calls, and scratches on your phone (even if you think you
won't), however you will get used to it after a while. -also i disagree
with people who said this is a phone for so called professional or rich
or whatever high class thing. It's just a different kind of phone, stop
saying weird stuff :P take a look at vertu phones and you will know
what im trying to say www.vertu.com As for me the reason why i bought
this phone is because -i like nokia's phone system and menu, specially
on the 8910i as it is very fast like the old nokias. the lagging menus
and low frame rate graphic display on other brands are gay. who cares
about rich colourful display when its lagging and the frame rate is
like 1fps? nokia's graphic doesnt lag at all. -i don't care about the
camera , polyphonic ringtones (normal ringtones sounds more elegant
and peaceful to me, others are annoying and who actually listen to them?)
and someother all-in-one pointless gadget on a mobile phones as they
are really suck and you won't need it most of the time. I'm happy enough
with colorful java games, can fit 500 friends on mobile list (diferent
numbers, emails, etc), good connectivity (bluetooth, gprs, infrared),
good battery life, and everything else that you actually need to have
on a phone. -from my experience, people who use those gadget techonish
phone thing that has camera and stuff, soon they will buy a new similiar
phone so fast, as the new one come out. I don't think I will buy new
phone for about at least 2 years. last time i used my 8210 for 4 years
since i think it was a really good phone and i didn't even bother to
upgrade even that i got money. -and the last point is that i've been
trying to find a good quality phone which has black color for ages.
and at last i found it, This is really the only good quality phone that
has "black" color in the market. I hope my review can help those people
who are confused about this phone and for people who are thinking to
buy it.

This phone is purely for the style conscious and really isnt aimed at
anywhere near 'power user' market. It looks nice, will recieve colour
MMS (good basic improvement on the near-pointlessness of monochrome
MMS on the 8910) and it performs near enough the same functions as an
8850, but with a colour screen, standby fullscreen clock, bluetooth,
java and poly ringtones. I have no idea what Chelsei is talking about
regarding in-built games and ringtones. The phone is capable of recieving
both and has pre-loaded games and poly ringtones. Very wierd assumption
to make, especially since games have been a Nokia mainstay since the
days of the 5110/5146/nk402. The spring push up flip is very gimmicky,
but for street kudos gets the nod, and the titanium casing on it is
pointless when its painted black anyway :S I modded mine with the 8910
titanium housing for it to look nicer. Feature set wise, its very poor.
Bluetooth works OK when paired with a TDK PCMCIA card and a Sony Ericsson
HBH-65 (although I cant voice dial). But, and this is a big but, for
the price, the Sony Ericsson P900 is available, which has more functions
and features on it than you can shake a stick at. Its nice for the poser,
but for me, my P900 wins every time I need a serious phone to use. P900
can be used as a mobile theatre with the right software!

they only targeted European, Asian and African markets as the phone
is only Dual Band. This is one big mistake as they deprived themselves
huge profit for markets in North and South America (USA and Canada).
I hope they'll consider designing for tri-band features for this type
of classy phones in the future.

I have used all these new gadgets and differnt make phones previously.
For me mobile phones are a piece of your personality. My last phone
was Nokia 7650 and I started using it when it just arrived in market.
Played with it enough for about a year and then I started to realise
that all this new features and camera functions are of no use in everyday
life. Its like coming to the full circle and I now was looking for something
really simple but at the same time really exclusive. For me there was
no other choice then 8910i. Its a truely exclusive phone in terms of
professionals. Its not at all meant for anyone below age 20 as it doesn't
have any new 'features' as other phones that one can show off. Its meant
for professional people and business class. I mean do we really care
about having polyphonic ring tones and do people enjoy it when they
listen our phone ringing? I bet most of us keep our phone on silent
mode during working hours. After using all these phones, I realised
th at the only functions we use in mobile phones are to make or receive
calls and sometimes sending SMS. Do we have time to play games on it
or keeping ourselves happy with new logos everyday? So no offence to
any age groups but this phone is meant for business people and for those
who like to add a touch of class to it. On technical side, the phone
works great and there is no problem whatsoever the I would only sugget
to take care of the sliding buttons to all the users as it tends to
give problems after long time of use. So I will give it all thumbs up.

I like the Titanium cover its really something different then the previous
models (excluded the 8910) of Nokia. It's a back to basic phone with
the basic needs of todays technology like bluetooth wich i think must
(will) be the standard for wireless datatransfer on mobile phones, the
looks and slide construction of this phone is outstanding and one of

better. (Just like the titanium casing of the apple mac I am writing

polyphonic tones and games, as it will just taint the truly extraordinary
quality of this phone. I would ask anyone this. Would you rather have
a Nokia 7210, 7650, 6100 etc and have the polyphonic tones and games
or have a phone which is truly exclusive and will amaze even you every

This phone is admittedly very expensive, but that is a function of the
materials used in construction, and also may have a little to do with
Nokia's idea exclusivity. It provides all the functionality that is
required of a phone, with the added advantage that you can easily control
and manipulate the phone book and diary, via a bluetooth connection,
synchronising with your outlook or outlook express applications. This
phone would not suit the text and gaming generation, but to be fair
to Nokia, this phone is not aimed at them. The keys are small, but perfectly
usable. This is an elegant phone, not a Fisher Price toy. I purchased
my 8910i to replace an 8910, which I was also happy with, but managed
to crack the screen of by walking into a table with it in my pocket.
This accident was my fault, and has nothing to do with the build quality
or design of the phone, of which I have had no problems. Indeed, I think
you would have to be exceedingly rough with it to break it.
