Nokia N81 8GB

...ever so stylish. This nokia has a 2.4 inch screen. This screen is great quality and is really good for watching movies and pictures you have taken on. I wouldn't describe this phone as heavy or even a bit bulky, however it is larger than some other phones but this is really the perfect size for me. The sliding mechanism on this phone is great, it feels sturdy when you slide it, not like some phones when you slide them you feel as though the tops ...
...un working pieces of phone. This phone features a navi wheel, I find this great scene as iv had an ipod before I got one of these and I just find it a lot easier and quicker to flick through your images, songs and other thing on your phone. However this navi wheel seems a little less prone to contact than the ipod ones, what I mean by that is you have to press a little harder to use it, whereas on the ipod you have to barely touch the wheel to ...

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

Nokia have always been very favourite mobile phone producer. I deviated once from them in about 2001, but have otherwise been steadfastly loyal. I usually tend to go for the simple models. I'm not too bothered by gadgets, as long as I can call and text I'm happy. I was given this phone for my birthday and was a little scared to begin with. So many functions! However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was easy to use, like all other nokia ...
...what it cost!]. The Nokia N81has up to 8GB internal flash memory for music, games, video, images and applications. Apparently this is not all that great, but it's more than enough for my purposes. Talk time is up to 240 minutes and stand by time is up to 17 days [which I thought was amazing - I've only had about 3 days before! I do find it hard to remember to charge though as it needs it so infrequently]. Music playback time is up to 11.5 hours ...

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

I feel Nokia have been outclassed in the market over the past few years, and i have found myself becoming increasingly fond of sony ericsson, however without getting a full size PDA S/E do not do a phone with WI-FI (a key feature that attracted me to the N81) Having been a previous fan of nokia's in the days of the 3210 3310 etc... i was very keen to get my hands on my new phone..... i was not to be dissapointed, First thing about this handset is ...

Key features to the phone are : 1. excellent Media Player 2. 2mp camera (excellent quality on screen) 3. Photos can be printed straight from the phone 4.

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

I've had my Nokia N81 8GB for about 4 weeks now and I have to say it looks very good. User interface is very easy to use and self explanatory as you would normally find with Nokia phones. They are still one of the best manufacturers for this sort of thing on the market. Quality of sound is good. You will love the memory size; 8GB is enough for most needs that a typical phone is there to serve. At just 2 megapixels the camera is a little bit disappointing ...
...bad, so for me, this bit isn't that much of an issue. The battery life is alright although I've seen better. If you play few songs on this phone, text and make calls, the battery won't last you too much more than a day. But I guess many phones on the market get drained by this kind of activity in less than 2 hours, so it's not bad. The key problem I have with this phone is that it makes a bizzarre rattling noise apparently made by the lock button ...

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

When I was first looking for a new mobile phone, I needed one that looked the part, which offered the latest features, and one that I could easily use. The N81 was the answer to these problems. Not only that but it offers a huge 8GB of memory which was perfect for the amount of media I wanted the phone to have, My videos, music and gaming files. The sleek and stylish design with the sliding feature, allowed the phone to provide a key pad, which is ...
...professional and fashionable, I couldn’t want more in a phone as far as looks are concerned. Equipped with the latest technology and a wide range of features, the N81 Smartphone won’t be left in the dark. Communication has never been so easy, with access to MMS, SMS, E-mail and WAP for the times when you wish to surf the internet. The features will keep you entertained all day long. A drawback to this phone has to be the weight of it and the battery ...

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

I won my nokia off of a radio station, and I have to say, I was extremely impressed with the phone! Nokia have always been a reliable model to have, as they are simple and easy to use, but at the same time having lots of features. The N81 has brilliant memory; 8gb built in! This means you can store loads of texts, pictures, videos and music without the phone slowing down and taking ages to do anything, which I have had a big problem with before! ...
...many up-to-date features. It looks expensive and stylish, with a nice finish to the phone. One disapointment was the lack of a decent camera, it only has a 2mp one, which is a let down after the rest of the phone. The large scrren makes the pictures seem distorted, a better camera would have been better. Also it isn't very hard wearing, there is no protective cover on the LCD screen, which means a simple knock can crack and break the screen. All ...

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

I have always loved Nokia mobile phones because of their simplicity and ease of use. After looking at the instruction manual for this phone I began to get worried that using this phone could prove to be a lot more difficult than I would have hoped, however I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was incredibly easy. With the typical Nokia menu, and everything stored in folders, sub-folders etc. it was very simple. The looks of the phone were also ...
...it is still a very pretty phone. It has a very big screen, and a huge memory - a match made in heaven for movies and pictures. The buttons on the front of the phone can get very fiddly with the music player buttons, the standard navigation buttons, and the silver shortcut button. It is a great phone and I have loved using it. I would strongly recommend to anyone willing to put up that sort of money. ...

Review of Nokia N81 8GB

Intro The Nokia N81 is a slider phone having upper and lower panels of shiny plastic and metallic side panels with inbuilt double speakers. The upper panel of the slider has different sets of keys that allows you to access features like camera, music player and games without sliding out the keypad. The N81 is quite on the bulky side and is heavy as well. It has a macho look about and majority of the male users prefer using it more than the female ...
...player, visual radio, N-Gage games Nokia Maps, search facility and a 2.0 megapixel camera. The image quality of the camera is not very impressive though it has got a zoom in facility. The phone gives quite a good sound quality when you turn on the music player. It comes with the special featured N-Gage gaming platform, which allows gamers to try out and purchase games. Gamers are bound to love the quality of graphics ad special effects. Incidentally, ...

...that part of the phone, Nokia does a great job illuminating only the necessary buttons depending on what you are using. For example, the music keys are dimmed and the gaming keys are off when using the phone in general. When the music player is on, the music keys light up. The gaming keys lights up when playing an N-gage game and also when used to zoom in or out of photos in the gallery. What really surprised me was the Naviwheel, which is turned ...
...is no Pencil Key in Nokia N-81, like other N-Series Phones. Also, there is no auto focus function with the 2.0 Megapixel Camera. "Conclusion:" Overall I like the design of the "Nokia N81 8GB". The attention to details like the dimming and the lighting of the music and gaming keys at the right moment is pretty cool. This phone will be great for those who spend a lot of time listening to music, and also want to play games on their phone because of ...

Impressed with the phone so far, really easy to navigate, lots of great functions including email, wap services, music player, camera, loads of storage space and easy to create folders. A little on the heavy side but to be expected for what the phone incorporates. Not too keen on the keypad though, one of the soft touch type and i've experienced problems with this type of keypad on other phones. All in all a gem of a phone with lots to explore. ...

Iv had this phone just over 7 months now, It is a very robust and hardy phone, It has a lot of features and mod cons to it, Its not exactly small or nimble but it has a great amount of music memory in it, And Its quite good at absorbing damage too, I dropped mine down 3 flights of concrete stairs into a puddle and Its still working. Iv never had bad signal anywhere with this phone and I travel a lot with my job. I find the interface quite simple ...

I recently purchased the nokia n81 8gb from ebay. It's a great phone that's packed with features. I read many reviews before i brought the phone, and lots of reviewers said the front of the phone clustered. After the first two days of use though I got used to this and i enjoyed having the music controls on the front of the fascia. The wifi and internet browser were excellent quality for a mobile phone and i found them very easy to use. I also demoed ...
