Nokia 8208 Review - read honest Nokia 8208 reviews

The Nokia 8208 is the first dual – slide to have escaped the ‘clutches’ of the N-series phones such as the Nokia N96, Nokia N95 and the Nokia N86 8MP.

The Nokia 8208 has some fairly ordinary looks and can be mistaken for a low – end phone but it is anything but. With a nice silver lining on the sides of the phone, the Nokia 8208 is going to make the music lovers go nuts over this one with, firstly, the 3.5 mm headset jack on the left side of the phone. The right side of the phone will feature the volume rocker as well as the camera shutter key. When the screen is pushed down, the slider reveals the music dedicated keys i.e. the play / pause key, the next track key and the previous track key (both of which can be used to fast forward and rewind respectively by pressing them for about 2 or 3 seconds). The alphanumeric keypad is somewhat similar to that of the Nokia 6280 in that it has a ring – like silver plated line surrounding the middle column of keys. It’s brown colour lends a nice feeling to the phone as a whole.

All – in – all, the Nokia 8208 is sure to lure the music lovers and become a big hit amongst them with it’s great music features, which include a 3.5 mm headset jack and some music dedicated keys. It will also make the dreams of people wanting to own a Nokia N95 or something like that a chance to savour what a dual slider is like!
