Review summary: Nokia 8600 LunaThough we admire Nokia for never being afraid to try a new and daring cell phone design, we must admit that the results aren't always satisfactory. Take for example, the Nokia 8800. Sure, it's shiny and pretty, but the cramped keys were ...

Pros: The Nokia Luna 8600 has an attractive design, solid call quality, and a decent feature set including stereo Bluetooth, a music player, and voice commands.

Cons: The Nokia Luna 8600 has low talk-time battery life and a cramped keyboard. Also, its photo quality and speakerphone performance were poor, and it lacks an expendable memory slot.

Verdict: The Nokia Luna 8600 is a beauty with good call quality, but we didn't fall for its cramped keyboard and its poor speakerphone quality.

Review summary: Nokia's top of the line fashion phone is the 8600 Luna, a device that makes use of smooth lines and real tinted glass to set itself apart from the pack. Our man Jin takes the Luna out for a spin to see how it handles in this hands-on review.

Pros: Beautiful, solid build quality, scratch resistant

Cons: Weak UI, poor memory, average camera

Review summary: This is a well-crafted phone, but it isn't cheap SIM-free. Can its features add value for money?

Verdict: Nokia has really shot itself in the foot with the 8600 Luna. Build is a delight. Solid, classy and impressive. But as a camera or music phone it doesn't approach being acceptable. In the end this heavily influences its value for money rating.
