The Nokia 8910i is, without a doubt, a phone in its own category. It's not a high end model since its features cannot be compared with those of other handsets (Nokia 7250, 6100, and 6610) and, on the other hand, we cannot place a titanium-encased handset in the medium range category - even if we wanted to. The 8910i has a futuristic and, at the same time, mysterious design with a black exterior and several metallic parts, creating on the whole a compact phone that is quite portable and easy to use. Its dimensions are 103mm x 46mm x 20mm and, despite the titanium body, its weight barely reaches 112g.

The 8910i is equipped with a new 4,096 color screen, which may look like a giant leap forward from the monochrome display of the 8910, but on the whole I expected a bit more from such a pricey phone. The saturation and contrast of the color is more than adequate, but small details, photos, and wallpapers look a bit disappointing. There is no support for animations, and the photos we received from MMS messages appeared really small, since the display itself is quite small. In daylight conditions the screen visibility was excellent with no shadows or blind spots. At night, things where even better.

Graphic User Interface

Despite the fact that most all the latest range of Nokia handsets use the Series 40, this isn't the case with the 8910i. The premium range handset still uses a Series 30 interface with non animated menus and standard menu pictures, but on the whole it proves to be quite efficient and fast. There were no sudden freezes, no problems or errors with the menu details; on the contrary we were amazed by its usability and quick response to our commands. There is support for color schemes (Blue, Green, Red and Violet), the ability to customize the wallpaper, ringtones and operator logos, as well as a standard digital clock screen saver with a user defined timeout period.
