In a nutshell: If you liked the 8800 Sirocco, you'll love
the 8600 Luna. It's a similar look and feel to the classy Sirocco,
but more futuristic in style, with a smoked glass sliding cover
to protect the keypad. The features have been upgraded, with a stunning
16 million colour screen, a 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player, built-in
radio and quadband. The memory is limited to 128 Mbytes (enough
for 30 songs) so don't throw away your iPod, but for looks and exclusivity,
the 8600 is hard to beat.
Review:
May 2007. Updated January 2008.
Released
on 30 May 2007, the Nokia 8600 "Luna" is a stunning black
slide-design phone with looks reminiscent of the equally expensive
8800 Sirocco phone. The body
is made of stainless steel, with a smoked glass sliding cover to
protect the keypad when not in use.
Our
first impressions of the 8600 are good. The 8600 manages to look
more sophisticated than the Sirocco - it's a more futuristic appearance
with less bling. The stainless steel body and the solid 140g of
weight make the 8600 a good phone to hold in your palm (if you don't
mind carrying a phone this heavy.) The smoked glass cover looks
suitably mysterious, but you can access many of the phone's functions
using the exposed exterior buttons even with the phone closed. Slide
the glass down and you will see a neat keypad, that in our opinion
is a nicer keypad to use than the Sirocco's - it's less fiddly,
especially for man-sized fingers. The display is far superior to
the Sirocco's screen too. It has a high resolution of 240 x 320
pixels and a stunning 16 million colours, and is very easy on the
eye.
Inside,
the phone is very well featured too, although not at the cutting
edge of technology. The camera has 2 megapixels and performs rather
averagely when compared with other camera phones in the over-£200
price range. There's a music player and an FM radio too, which is
nice. The 8600 is compatible with an (optional) Bluetooth wireless
headset. The music player is a handy feature but won't ever replace
your iPod as there is insufficient memory. The internal memory of
128 Mbytes is sufficient to hold around 30 songs only and cannot
be expanded with a memory card. Connectivity is good: as already
mentioned the 8600 supports wireless Bluetooth connectivity, and
can also handle USB. Usefully it's a quadband phone, so you can
use it anywhere in the world, and battery life is reasonable.
In
summary, we feel that this is an excellent alternative to the 8800
Sirocco phone - it costs about the same, and it's going to be
just as exclusive. In many ways it's a better phone with an improved
LCD screen, a better keypad and the benefit of quadband. On the
negative side it lacks a memory card slot and is rather heavy (just
like the Sirocco), but the Nokia 8-series phones are about looks
and exclusivity first and the 8600 offers both of these. The new
Nokia 8800 Arte is even better
and even more expensive!

So sorry to hear that Dolly and Louise didn't find the Luna good!!!
Is it me or just women moan about this handset!!!???? See as for
the phone being heavy, yes it does weigh that little bit heavier
because it's unique!!! That is one of the reasons why I brought
it! It has style and grace. Seriously guys, this is the ultimate
phone from Nokia in terms of build and quality! As Dolly says she
her battery runs out quickly, I seem to manage 2.5 days with mine
on the standard battery supplied with at least 1 hour talk time
per day with 10 text messages as well! As for Louise experiencing
the phone switching off, you will find this if your with Orange
/ T-Mobile as they use their own software and muddles Nokia's original!
As for signal strengh, I have NO problems at all except when last
year I went to Cornwall and was in Lizard Point right down the South
West in the middle of nowhere! Other than that I have always had
signal! I am so disappointed to go back and read peoples poor rev
iews especially the poor battery life! Seriously guys n girls try
draining the battery down the first 3times to get the optimal performance
and when charing every so often try draining at least once a month
and you will find that your battery life will increase! Hope this
helps! I'd give the Luna TOP MARKS! Well done Nokia! Rating:

I've had my Nokia 8600 for about 5 - 6 months now. Aesthetically,
the phone is a beauty however, functionally, it falls below expectation.
1. Charging Point: The charger / charging point is unique & thus
difficult to source chargers in the event that you leave homw without
it. 2. The battery runs out quickly. 3. Later on, software issues
comes in - you cannot assign ringtones to contact / edit contact
profile etc. You get operation failed display 3. The games are not
really interactive. Wished it was compartible with other nokia series.
4. I've tried to update the phone's firmware to no success. Maybe
it's my phone that's 'perculiar' but i've not really enjoyed it!.
In fact, i've got myself a Nokia E65 which I find more fantastic.

N95 before this and I was not able to use all the features of theat
phone (just text & calls). The glass cover of the Luna is just so
beautiful, you can watch the keypads "pulsate", just so sweet, the
screen is superb, very clear. Battery lasts 2 days for me. The only
downside is the weight.. 140 + grams...but it does not matter...it's

I had this supplied to me on insurance as a 'similar replacement'
for my fantastic 8800 Sirocco which was damaged recently. I think
it is a capable phone but has been chavved up to appeal to the fashion
market at the expense of build quality whereas the Sirocco was simply
refined class. The screen has three bright faulty pixels and the
camera lens is offset/wonky in it's square recess. Also it is not
too good in weak signal areas. A disappointing substitute for Nokias
real flagship phone - the 8800. Rating:

Yes, handsets like the N95 has all the features when they work but

about the poor battery life on the Luna, well I've no problems with
mine....try and discharge it for 3 times and then maybe you'll find
it'll work better! As for those who says it doesn't come with a
case, well try NOT to buy this from the back of a lorry! As for
the phone itself, the build quality is amazing and for those mentioning

operating system which is virtually faultless! The Luna isn't a

Phil, Check the box as a case is provided with the handset ! People
talk about battery talktime/standby life and rightly so , as with
no juice in the battery what use is the fone. What needs to be apparant
tho is how you personally use the handset in your daily lifes. I
use it for talking and texts mainly so I get 4-5 days out of mine.
Although someone using it for mp3/games as well as calls and texts
will experiance a more limited charge. Leaving bluetooth on or using
the alarms will shorten it too. Also limited network coverage and
weather conditions will make the fone work harder to maintain signal.
Watching the keypad lights glow may look nice but is an obvious
drain as well as the screensavers etc. After the 4-5 charge your
battery will be at its optimum. I made a review earlier and gave
4 stars as I had to take time to see how the battery works in my
lifestyle, hence this 2nd post and 5 stars. Rating:

with a touch of class that you simply dont get with other phones.
The OS is very easy and quick, and the button spacing is pretty
good. Unlike the 8800 (which i did not keep) the battery is far
better, and the volume on the earpiece is again much better than
previous efforts. All in all great for two things: 1. making calls

you buy this phone, call up a couple of stores and ask them how
many they've had back! You'll think twice about getting it. cant
understand some peoples high rating. nearly everyone I know has
had problems with it. Rating:

This fone RULES!!!!!! I love it! the screen is awesome, and the
actual fone fells so weighty and nice. I like the smoked glass,
that looks cool. It is also properly loud. Shame about the perthetic
memeroy though... Other than tht, this fone is the bomb and i love
it, the camera isnt bad like everyone says, and although an n95
might have more features, its a brick. This might be too, but a
sweet brick at that. Did i mention *******[BUY IT]********* Rating:

As an owner of both the 8800 and 8800 Sirocco, I was keen on getting
this new premium 8-series. On first impressions, the screen is fantastic.
The smoked glass looks cool. However, all the plus points ends here.
The build quality and consistency falls short in the 8600, the most
obvious giveaway is the cheap-feel back panel. The 8910i was surrounded
by titanium, both the 8800 and 8800 Sirocco was surrounded by stainless
steal (except the antenna area). Most of the premium 8-series (8810,
8850 and 8890 inclusive) followed this consistent build quality
but the 8600 falls short of this. Slide the keypad out and compare
it with the 8800 and 8800 Sirocco, it seems Nokia phones as of let
is getting uglier. The original 8800 looked great. The 8800 Sirocco
raised an eyebrow but the 8600 just seems to lack something. It
is slightly heavier than the Sirocco and no doubt better performing
but it falls short on the looks and build quality department. The
8600 most definitely hasn't won me over and it looks like my Sirocco
will have to bear with me a bit longer. Rating:

Amazingly sexy phone (suits me well!). Very easy to use but the
phone screen freezes sometimes. I will be getting in contact with
Nokia to work something out like a replacement but it's not too
bad. Could be better. The camera hasn't got a flash so yeah... It's
great if you like light-weight, easy to use phones that look awesome.

back to Carphone Warehouse tommorow though to ask because if that's

Hi, I'm Paul. I'm a 35 year old single male. I own a Nokia 8600
and have a big willy. But that's enough about me, what about the
phone? Sure, it's cool. I have none of the troubles these other
guys have. Maybe they're just losers. Know what I'm saying girls?
Seriously, this phone is better than my old 8800. Buy it now. Rating:

What a dissapointment. This phone is just a copy of the 6300, only
without an expandable memory card slot and dull graphics. After
upgrading from my Sirocco, I was expecting a premium handset. Unfortunately,
it is far more basic than that. Yes it looks nice (Though for the
same price as a sirocco, it actually looks very cheap, IMHO). Nokia
really have lost their way with this handset. I have sent mine back
and will stick to my others! Rating:

Some advise, I currently have the model, does anybody’s model,
do the following. 1) Lots of network noise whilst on a phone call
2) Suddenly the signal drops without reason then cuts the call,
and then the signal returns. Thanks BC Rating:

Fone is heavy too, had my door keys in one pocket, fone in the other
and my jeans almost fell down, should sell this fone with a free
belt in the box :P There are better fones on the market than this,
if you want a fone just for the looks get the LG Prada. Rating:
