Nokia 8600 Luna review

Today nokia 8600 luna still sold in some places. At one time, she experienced great success. Fortunately, it was perceived as a continuation of the simply cult model nokia 8800, which played an important role. The phone is highly fashionable. Such things are bought by wealthy people in order to draw attention to their already outstanding person. The phone contributes to this as much as possible - the backlighting of the phone keys, which is hidden behind an attractive tempered glass cover, suddenly ignites and slowly fades away, creating a certain effect of presence that will not leave anyone indifferent. Many people watch with interest how this wonderful device “breathes”. In general, the phone tends to impress. For example, he sorts out the menu themes with interest himself, thereby creating pleasant sensations. You may not like it. Today the phone already occupies a shelf of used models, but let's look at all the advantages of this choice, as well as its disadvantages, in order to help you decide on a purchase, and not regret it!

Appearance.

Outwardly, the relationship with the 8800 cannot be hidden. But Luna will play a different role. It will be the flagship of the fashion phones of the beloved Finnish brand, and the 8800 is not much else. More attention is paid to the exterior than to the general functionality. That's why it is a fashion phone. The form factor of the slider, as before, is unusual, that is, the screen with the buttons goes to the top and the lid remains in your hand, which gives originality to the entire line of the 8 series. A chic feature of the phone is its built-in unique themes of the title menu, which perfectly and harmoniously fit into the design of the handset, which is also facilitated by the translucent glass dark cover, which lies pleasantly in our hand. All in all, the phone creates a sense of presence and asserts its individuality by capturing the hearts of consumers.

If the phone gets to a person for the first time, he may think that the phone is made of steel, as was the case with the 8800. This impression is created by the overall weight of the device. In fact - the front part is made of strong tempered glass, and the back part serves as a frame made of black metal, pleasant to the touch and not easily soiled.

The slider mechanism works well - perfect. You can talk on the phone right away without opening it, which is, of course, convenient - all the basic options are available without that, including the menu. The upper part contains the keyboard unit, the display itself and the earpiece - it is movable and goes up along with the slider. The lower part is the body frame, the camera, which is not visible when closed, the battery, this part of the device remains in place.

The numeric keypad is hidden behind the cover, and the keys for controlling the phone, accepting and rejecting calls are always available and do not hide behind the cover. The backlighting of the keys works perfectly, the keys themselves do not wear off from time to time and are quite pleasant to the touch, which is not typical for all nokia models. It is pleasant to press them, the only thing that is difficult is pressing the lowest keys, if you have large fingers, the lid will interfere a little. But the navigation block deserves the best words. The buttons are convex and comfortable.

Of the additional buttons on the case, there is a button for fixing the battery cover and a volume rocker, which is made as stylish as possible and fits into the thin stylish lines of the phone.

Battery the phone uses the rather popular bp-5m, which is quite capacious, but does not always live up to expectations, for example, the manufacturer claims that the battery holds 3.5 hours of talk time, although it feels no more than 2.5 hours. But even if you speak for two hours a day, the phone will honor you and work further in standby mode for 24 hours, allowing you to charge it at night or the next day.

Sound

The phone uses good stereo sound, which is reproduced by two loudspeakers located in the lower part of the device, on the sides, and to the right and left of the screen. It is not worth demanding the beauty of sound from it, this is not a music phone and you will hardly want to purposefully listen to music on it, but there is enough memory and volume and melody for call melodies. The speech speaker reproduces the voice loudly and clearly. Over time, problems may arise with the slider cable if you are not careful with the phone, and the speaker will hiss.

Display

Unlike the 8800 model, the display is in front and is familiar to us from some other models, which, in principle, is the standard for a modern phone today - 320x240 pixels, 16 million colors. It fits harmoniously into the design, and even some people may confuse the moon with an even younger brother from the 8800 Arte series.

Menu

Like any other nokia device, Luna runs on the same Series 40 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1. All that distinguishes the phone from its predecessors and other nokia models in this respect is the menu themes, of course, they are excellent, but perhaps that's all. The phone will not give you any inconvenience if you have come across similar models before.

Photo and video camera.

Today, a two-megapixel camera is no longer something special and, again, one can refer to the fact that this is not the main function of this phone, if we are talking about a purchase, for photos it is better to separately buy a professional camera or an expensive camera phone. Here, the camera does not even have a hardware surplus, it does not have autofocus, as on other models, and there is no flash here, which turns out to be very unfortunate. She shoots video with a resolution of 176x144 pixels, 15 frames per second, 3gp.

Memory the phone is limited to 128 megabytes, as was the case with the 8800, this is precisely what affects the decrease in the phone's musical capabilities, unfortunately there are no flash cards either.

Of communications the phone has a usb connector, which serves as a port for communication with a computer and for charging the phone. The only drawback is that the headphones are plugged into the same usb, although there is a 2.5 mm adapter in the kit.

IN contents of delivery includes, of course, the beautiful phone itself, as well as the BP-5M battery. A device for charging the device via microUSB, standard headphones with a 2.5 mm jack, an adapter adapter for connecting headphones to a standard phone jack - microUSB.

The manufacturer also pleased us with the presence of a microUSB cable for communication with computer equipment; there is also a disc with nokia software in the kit. A manual in Russian and a booklet with the history of the Nokia 8600 Luna will help you discover its mysterious inner world. You will also find a leather cloth for cleaning the glass surface of the phone, a leather case, and even a wrist strap.
