Advantages: More advanced than all the gadgets in Q's laboratory put together Disadvantages: Slide mechanism does not spring open and shut, battery life (again!)
...2001, ye olde company of Nokia announced its first smart phone, the 7650. Instead of separating these smart phones into their own, scary, techno-geek-type product class, Nokia simply positioned them as the most functional phones. They showed off the phone's most widely-appealing functions such as SMS, MMS and the (for its time) advanced camera function and hid away the scary, techno-geek abilities of its operating system. So it was, that Nokia cunningly ...

...suffice. I've lived with my Nokia 6630 for a good two years now, and I liked it so much that when I came to browse the market (or eBay, as is so often the case), I really found myself only looking at Nokia phones.
I go through this process about once every other month, but always stop at the last minute when I ask myself: Do I really need ANOTHER phone? The answer has always been no, until last month that is, when I finally decided to see £80 disappear ...

...adaptor (for using normal headphones), Nokia headphones, a carrying strap and a USB computer cable.
Looking at the phone it is quite chunky but not overly big, measuring in at 90(h) x 50(w) x 26(d) although it does get a lot bigger when the keypad is open. It weighs in at 134g which is heavier than most. It does look good and the keypad does only need to be open to write text messages and phone people.
So first thing I did was went to charge ...

Advantages: very good screen, 1st WiFi phone, Good Camera, Mp3 Disadvantages: Bad battery Life, random restarts, browser memory
...the pictures taken with the nokia usually look better than the k750 especially once they are on the computer and you can see the difference in the resolution. Although the nokia dose have its problems the shuuter speed being the biggest for me, meaning that you have to be very steady to avoide getting a blurry shot, this can be a right pain, also the lack of an auto focus is annoying although dosent make as much difference as you might think and in ...

For a phone these days the box is quite large, but there is a reason for this as there is a fair bit tucked away inside. Inside the box you get the following bits and bobs:-

...expect from a top level Nokia it has all the features such as bluetooth, infra red, polyphonic ringtones, mp3 player, photo editor, video editor etc etc.
Other points to note about the phone is that it has some pretty handy applications. Quickoffice allows you to open stored MS office documents, handy if you want to carry your cv/resume to interviews, or just need to ammend a document (I don't advise this as I can't see how anyone can type a document ...

Advantages: Huge number of features Disadvantages: Battery life, 'crashes'
I have had my Nokia N80 for almost 2 months now, so feel I know enough about it to write a review. I'm not going to spend ages telling you all the different features it has, just go to the Nokia website if you want to know. Instead I feel I have more important stuff to let you know.
Firstly I'll let you know all the phones bad points. And to be honest there are quite a few. To begin with it's the battery life. I can only just manage to get a day ...

Back to the phone; Firstly in the most basic terms, as a mobile phone, the reception is good, the caller is always clear and there have been no problems with recieving, diverting, setting up answer machines etc. If you just want a good phone, that looks swish, this is the one.
Secondly; ...

...the list of goodies and Nokia certainly jammed a good part of the sweet shop into the N80's attractive, mid-size package. And the sweeties mostly do the job.
The 3 megapixel camera may not have auto-focus, but it produces reasonable quality stills and better than average video. There are also a number of options - like White Balance, Sepia, Black & White - that would only have been seen on a dedicated camera up until very recently.

...is different from previous reviews. Nokia really need to iron out these problems, which they must have known existed.
The camera on the phone is superb, giving crystal clear images. One thing I have found though, you must keep perfectly still when taking a shot or it will be blurred. I mean really still, slight movement and the results are bad. There seems to be a lag from pressing the button and when the shot is taken, like an artificial delay, ...

I have had the Nokia N80 for a week now and I have been very impressed with this feature filled phone!
Series 60
I have been using Nokia's with the series 60 operating systems for the last four handsets that I have had (3650, 7610, 6680 and now N80) and I can honestly say this is the best series 60 OS I have used so far. The menus look great, and the ease of getting to what ever you require is superb. All of the menu icons can be placed wherever ...

...this phone i had the nokia n70 which is also quite big but this one is even bigger and it weighs a bit more. Although having said that inspite of its size it is a very good looking phone and its nicely rounded edges make is easy to hold and 2 handed texting is a piece of cake. The most annoying this about this phone is that it slides open very easily which means often when you take it out of your pocked you unlock the keypad in doing so. The back ...

...a 3G video phone, and Nokia have managed to cram an amazing amount of features into it.
The N80 is a slider phone, and as such is shorter and thicker than the average phone, the slider when open is sturdy, however when closed it has a slight wobble that may worsen over time. A reasonably good mechanism, although not a refined as Samsung's trademark semi-automatic spring assisted slide in the D-series.
