The Nokia 8600 Luna GSM Mobile Phone

The reviews have been fairly unanimous so far that the Nokia Luna is perhaps the best phone for those interested in style, but probably not the best choice for those primarily interested in keeping their digital equipment budget under control. The Nokia Luna can be as much as three times as expensive as other somewhat comparable models.

But, there is something to be said for "wow, that's a really nice looking phone." If "wow" holds enough value to compensate for the extra price, then the Nokia Luna is probably a good choice. The Luna is not a 3G phone, but it does have quad-band GSM capabilities and does support GPRS. It also has excellent support for a number of popular digital music formats and has a built in FM radio.

Many reviewers have commented that the Luna feels very solidly built, and this is encouraging for a device that has a considerable replacement cost.
