Hot on the heels of its sleek 8800 model boasting Porsche slide construction, Nokia delights us with yet another slide phone, this time especially for ladies.

Some may also feel disappointed with the absence of a memory card slot in these days when we demand 24-hour mobile access to everything we own. The excellent MP3/ACC music player with a built-in audio equaliser is a wow, but rather limited when the phone offers only 23mb memory to share among your photos, music, games etc.

Then there's the stereo FM visual radio, which comes as a predictable and much appreciated feature of Nokia phones. Music is pure pleasure on its pulsating stereo headset but the loudspeaker is probably a ploy to torture our ears.

The stereo headset comes with the default retail package. The earpieces is quite comfortable for listening mp3 and FM radio. It is also a handsfree to answer phone calls.
