On top of the phone is the keypad lock key on the left and the mute key on the right, which doubles up as the stand-by mode key on a long press.


 





On the rear side of the phone is the 3.2 megapixel camera lens along with an LED flash on its side. Below the camera is the loudspeaker grille and the battery cover. The memory card is placed under the battery cover so you have to remove the cover every time you have to change cards.

I found the design of the 8900 to be very attractive, with its all black design and the matte silver on the front edge of the device. It had an understated elegance to it, which makes it look attractive without being overtly stylish or boring, which I'm sure business users would appreciate.

As for the build quality, the phone felt pretty solid in the hand. There was no creaking and all the parts felt solidly put together. One minor complaint was that the rear cover had a tendency to slightly move about in its place, which somewhat spoiled the near perfect build quality of the phone.

If I wanted to delete your comment it would have been done soon after you posted it and not two days later. The only reason all the comments were deleted is because the review was removed and put into another section. As for the mistakes I appreciated the feedback and as you can see the review has now been corrected.
