Guide Review - Nokia 8390 Review
If they get any smaller than this, next time, it's going to be a watch cell phone (Samsung sells one in Asia). The Nokia 8390, sort of a sequel to the 8260 and 8290 small trendy phones is a few tenths of an ounce lighter and a fraction of an inch smaller. So much so, in fact, that it's almost too much. Hold a match box to your ear and you'll get the feeling of holding a Nokia 8390. But at least, it fits so well in your pocket.
Yet the Nokia 8390 packs plenty of features, from voice recorder to voice dial, including GPRS data connectivity and 500 phone book numbers. In fact, there's not much to say against that cell phone: it even has a reasonable battery life, infrared connectivity (interesting ringtones and graphics features are available with the Nokia PC Suite and changeable faceplates and keypad. Just like the 6360 though, it lacks a dedicated button for the voice recorder.
