Carphone Warehouse has added the Nokia 8600 to its handset range this week. Available on an O2 750 Leisure contract priced at £329 the 8600 is aimed at the fashion phone market and has an unremarkable feature set including 2 megapixel camera and 128MB memory with MP3 player.
This is what CW had to say in the pre-release anouncement:
The Nokia 8600 mobile phone isn’t merely fashionable: it’s elegant as well. The rounded corners and smooth features give it an almost-futuristic appearance – as does the easy-to-read high-resolution display screen. And the whole thing is wrapped in a stainless steel body with a unique smoked glass sliding cover that protects the keypad but still enables you to access the phone’s main functions.
Best of all, inside this sleek device you’ll discover all the familiarity and quality of a Nokia handset. It starts by putting a 2 megapixel camera on the back, which lets you capture photos that are good enough to print. There’s also a video recorder, along with 128MB of built-in memory for storage.
When it’s time for more entertainment, the Nokia 8600 offers a multimedia player for a wide variety of music formats (and an FM radio, too). Plus there’s stereo Bluetooth compatibility, email software, Java games and a mobile internet browser.
So if you’re looking for the latest fashion icon, ignore the catwalk and take a look at mobile phone design instead. With quad-band coverage and its distinctive styling, the Nokia 8600 is going to turn heads… because it’s an international supermodel!

Sheik sleek dark and discerning, a beautiful practical eyecatcher with well protected keypad and keys positioned centrally for ease of thumb-texting while allowing good grip thus eliminating frantic fumbling after falling phones; keypads in general cheap! 8600 Black Magic, priceless!
