Introduction Nokia 8600 Luna
The Premium range of Nokia phones to offer more limited capabilities in a shell to finish high, usually metal, is doing very well. After the Nokia 8800 (released mid-2005) and Sirocco Edition version (available from the end of 2006), Nokia unveils a new model: the 8600 Luna.
GPS lovers or photo embedded high-performance phones go your way, here we plunge into the luxury phone.
Located just below the 8800 in the Premium, the newcomer is becoming available in stores for a suggested retail price of 779 € in Belgium.
With features updated reports by his elders, the 8600 share of innovative materials used in its shell: metal and glass.
Announced in late May of this year, the Nokia 8600 Luna or for short, will soon reach our shores.
Little surprise toward the launch price: 779 € advised, instead of 999 € at the output of 8800 Sirocco Edition.
Unfortunately, it feels like the opening of the box: no Bluetooth headset, second battery or even loading station.

Ownership of the Nokia 8600 Luna
When first getting started, our doubts regarding a lesser build quality compared to previous models fade away. The metal shell was excellent, and the system has no sliding Thurs

The main innovation on this model is the smoked glass shell covering the keyboard. This solution makes a nice play of light when the phone is idle, recalling flashing LED Apple computers.

The downside: fingerprints very easily take place along the entire front surface of the mobile, like the 8800 Sirocco. Blame it on the surface completely smooth and shiny.
The rear, covered with a material having a finish more "rough" (like gum?) It will be spared the inconvenience.

Pleasant surprise on the side of the keyboard keys finally available reasonable size! The 8800 HE and 8800 were really bad when entering text, or even when using the directional pad. Nokia has apparently learned its lesson and gives us here of large keys very pleasant to use.

The proposed screen is also much bigger and more powerful than its elders. Viewing photos or images is very nice to share a very good color rendition, and the richness of these
Multimedia features of Nokia 8600 Luna
So he had to settle for a mono headset kit and a file transfer via Bluetooth on previous models, the newcomer is much better supplied!
Here we have a right to the original stereo headphones and even a USB cable, which is a first in the range!
A basic MP3 player is available in the menus, and stereo speakers will be happy to restore a sound about right for a phone, especially in this range.
Unfortunately the internal memory is only 128MB, and it is not possible to extend it through a possible port for memory cards.
The camera does not change much and remains confined to a resolution of 2 megapixels, which probably sufficient given the target audience.
The quality of the picture but we looked better than the results given by the 8800.

As for menus, the 8600 takes the classic and very popular interface S40 3 edition of the manufacturer. The functions are still accessible, and of course it is always possible to arrange the menus as you wish.
4 original themes are included, with a result rather pleasing to the eye.

Small note about the interface: some menu items (the main menu icons, smileys in messages) remain hopelessly gray / dark on any theme applied, while they are in color on the rest of the range.
Although it has been more serious, it is a pity to make composing messages sometimes sluggish through these images to grayscale ...
Menus Nokia 8600 Luna
1) Messaging:
This menu is classic with other Nokia. Entering text is easy thanks to the generous size of the keypad, T9 and the board is still effective.
The sending of MMS and email is of course quite possible on this model.

6) Multimedia:
- Camera: Given the orientation of the product, the 8600 Luna has only a single optical sensor 2 megapixel without autofocus or flash. Outdoors with plenty of light produced the results are acceptable, but otherwise do not expect much.

- Video: The video, seen their resolution (176 * 144) are only intended for mobile use.
- Portable multimedia player rather limited for playing videos or audio files. Do not expect to watch a divX or another, for example, it is not intended to be.

- Music player: MP3 player to your 8600. The proposed functions are fairly basic, but will satisfy less demanding users. For fans of mobile music, other models will be much more efficient and dedicated to this task.
NOKIA 8600 LUNA - Menu 32
- Radio: Still and always the classic stereo FM radio, Nokia. It welcomes the return on this 8600, but why not integrate the RDS as does Sony Ericsson for years?

- Voice: save small memos or sounds in amr format.

- Equalizer: Lets you change the sound of songs present in the MP3 player. However, the quality of headphones very limited original limit its appeal.

- Extended Stereo Effect applied to the audio output of 8600. The sound reproduction is a little better.

It is a shame that the audio is so poor, because the sound produced by two small speaker is of good quality for a phone, provided they do not push the volume too high.
7) Organizer:
- Alarm: small alarm clock built into your Nokia. The alarm can be activated by a ringtone, MP3 music or even FM radio.
- Events: Classic on such phones, the agenda is fairly comprehensive for the vast majority of the clientele served by this terminal.
- Do: tasks
- Notes: small text files (. Txt) that you can write and send. It is not possible to post it on the screen as suggested by Sony Ericsson.
- Calculator: The proposed model is quite comprehensive, and is no longer limited to basic operations. Well done Nokia.

- Applications: There is a clothing size converter, world clock and apparently an application allowing to control PowerPoint presentations via Bluetooth since 8600 ..

9) Internet:
This is actually the WAP browser (xHTML compatible) of 8600.
Mobile surfing is possible, but very limited on the browser. For more advanced uses of this function, I recommend installing Opera Mini.

Synchronization with both a Mac with a Windows PC, no problem. PC Suite is available for Windows users, and plug-ins are available for iSync.
Regarding the pure telephony side, no problems to report. The sound quality and sensitivity are very good network, even if it is a habit for the brand.
The 8600 appears to be much more enjoyable on a daily basis that the 8800 share of its largest and beautiful screen, and better sized keyboard.
The proposed battery (BP-5M) allows a range of 2, see 3 days in normal use. This result is far better than the 8800, but is equivalent to what the 8800 SE offers.
Finding on the Nokia 8600 Luna
Finally, what about the 8600 Luna? Personally I am in love. It is really nice to feel a phone as well over between her fingers, and the layer of glass above the keyboard adds another side to this most prestigious model.
However, it is a shame not to find the station office, second battery or Bluetooth headset in the box because even if it allows a softer prices in the output, it will revert to the fund for such accessories.
Another criticism, although this is clearly not the destination of the phone: why not have built-in Micro SD port or another, given the other forces (headset and stereo speakers, USB cable) provided the multimedia side.
However, the 8600 is an excellent newcomer to the family premium, with the good points (finishing materials) and bad points (limited features considering the price) that goes with it.
For those with smaller budgets but still wanting a phone with excellent quality workmanship and a metallic finish, we recommend such as Nokia 6300 or Sony Ericsson T650i.help to unlocking your phone or smartphone like samsung galaxy s2 s3 s4 or iphone 3 3s 4 4s 5 5s or nokia lumia or android ios windows phone 2013 .
