pretty good phone, works well for listening to music.the speakers on the phone are impressively loud.I've had the Nokia n81 8gb for a year now, and the phone's performance isn't so great anymore, if i want to open applications(camera, games, picture gallery,.). i have to wait several seconds before the app opens.
- You media manager is great, photos in albums, music playlists and you don't need special software like itunes to manipulate them, (have you tried to retrieve your music from and IPOD to your computer. I wanted to unify the two items in one single device, but if you read my review, you will find why is that I did not stay with Palm OS.One thing to say also is that I bought it for business although it is not advertised as that, I took the chance and I am very happy with it. I got this phone in April 2008, after using a Palm TX and a IR Nokia phone. You can't) Cons- Buttons to music in the front are to tight and hard to manipulate.- It can be tricky to save some access points in WiFi, but you can learn how configure them.- Bad quality camera, not because it has 2megapixels, but because they are 2mp terrible sensor, but not important to me. Pros:There are many features I would like to review but among my favorites are:- Outstanding battery life even when you connect to the internet via WiFi- 8GB internal HDD- Easy to open keys, lock-unlock button at the top as well.- Screen and Menus completely customizable, so you can decide if you want the calendar in the root menu or in a Agenda folder, for instance.- The center key has 4 quick access ways, so left takes you to Messages, right takes you to Calendar, up takes you to Modes like Silence -meeting etc., down takes you to Clock -international times and alarms.- WiFi is great and fairly easy to set-up.- Bluetooth is great, I can synchronize my calendar and contacts, anniversaries, tasks, meetings, with Microsoft Outlook, and share info with friends, also I use a Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth Headset, which works great with.- Synchronyzing with the usb cable allows you to back up your pictures, music, videos- You can use the phone as an external HDD to carry info, PowerPoint presentations, etc. - You can have your POP3 mail, save as many as you want, decide whether you keep them in the "phone" memory or the HardDrive memory.- You can open attachments with the included QuickOffice and also PDF files. - It is not as slim as other phones, but non of them with internal 8GB HDD- Gizmo, my wife and I have same phone, we tried to configure the VoIP and it seems that if we are under the same IP- (same house connection) it rejects one of the users, which is awkward since Skype does not give you this issue.- Not compatible with Skype yet (coming soon they say)Overall, the Cons I have had so far are livable with, but the Pros are great and easy to use. It makes my calendar activities easy to keep up with, keeps me in touch via email and I can use it as an external HDD.
I bought this phone for less than the current price, but i think its still worth the price. Also the camera was not the best. Has great web browsing, wifi AND gaming capabilities.
This phone gets average reception, it works well as a phone and great as a music player.The N81 has stereo speakers which are louder and sound better than my laptop's. I have dropped mine twice and it got scratched easily. I upgraded to this after using a moto L7 for a while.
It has a nice big screen but easy to get scratches on it. You can also plug in any headphones. You can easily and quickly add music on the phones 8gb internal memory.
The only thing i felt the phone was missing is a qwerty key board, for quicker emailing/ texting. The bottom line, you should probably buy this phone if you are looking to upgrade and can afford it.
Hi, This is my second phone buyed on amazon and for the two I have excellent response in the delivery.My old phone was the N80, and I liked it very much because of all the functions it has, but a little slow when I navigate on internet via wifi, and it has constantly out of memory.Let me tell you that the N81 8GB it's much better, I can browse almost any web page I want, just a problem with sites with flash 8, not supported, but I espect It could be included in a firmware release. Excelent Photos, A lot of memory, I have 2243 songs compressed using about 3.7GB and the quality is very good. The phone has a very good game console (Ngage) so, what else do you want.So the overall of the phone is Excellent phone for a very good price.
Considering the fact that the phone registry resides in that portion of memory, I would have preferred having more memory allocated there to prevent memory full errors.- Playing games with sound on this phone is absolutely horrible. This is a great phone packed with many features for the price. A few issues I experience(d) witht he phone however are:- the jog dial is quite flimsy and even started chipping away on its own during the first month that I owned the phone even though the phone was kept in a protective case and was never dropped.- The "C" drive on the phone has very little space allocated to it. I recommend turning off sound to prevent glitchy gameplay. It seems like the sound is off-sync from the video anywhere between.5 to 2 seconds during games.- The digital camera is nothing special, but that what I expected from a 2MP.- not compatible with high-speed USB 2- no expansion memory card slot on the 8GB edition of the phone- the music player is always in memoryThere are also many pro's to counter the above cons for this phone, such as:- huge, bright, sharp, and brilliant high-resolution screen- really loud and amazing built-in stero speakers (this is an amazing music phone and it's ringers are very loud)- massive 8GB of space- really cool landscape gaming controls- convenient key lock switch at the top of the phone.- sleek and stylish slider design- wireless-g/b wifi connectivity is very good on this phone compared to many others int he same areas such as the iPhone- really good battery life for this type of smartphone- out-of0the-box, the phone is packed with tons of features and there are literally millions of software applicationa nd game titles that are compatible with this phone
