Price range: £281.98
What is it: Spectacularly expensive handset with slider mechanism covering the keypad
What we think: Stylish, silver and sleek -- but if you want a feature-packed phone and/or you're not sheikh-rich, look elsewhere

We like:
Beautiful to look at; smooth sliding mechanism; small and thin
We don't like:
Heavy; mono earbud; no memory expansion; VGA camera without flash or mirror; no RDS on radio; absurd price tag
You might also need:
Stereo headset; Bluetooth expansion for your PC
CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Nokia 8800 looks stunning, and its sliding mechanism is very impressive. But the 8800 is horribly expensive, and for this kind of money you have a right to expect state of the art inside and out. So it is unfortunate that some of the features are below par -- most notably the camera and the amount of memory
