Nokia N80

I'm a bit weird - when it comes to upgrading phones that is! I've never had a contract because I can't say I really spend that long on the phone, and when I do need to contact someone, usually one or two quick, short texts seems to 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 ...  Read the complete review

I remember a few years ago reviewing the first batch of 3G mobile phones as they came to market. they were big, they ate batteries, and the overall quality was questionable. How things have changed! It's almost as if those guys at Nokia got together over a beer to debate just how much they could get into a standard sized mobile phone and just kept going until they ran out of possibilities. What they ended up with was the Nokia N80. A device that has everything you could imagine frome a mobile phone, and then some. Just a little before those first 3G handsets hit the shelves Nokia came out with the 7650. The first Series 60 ...  Read the complete review

Mainly got this as I couldn't put up with SonyEricsson's delays to the P990i. Several things to note... the screen is an absurdly high resolution, 352x416 pixels, whilst being physically small, 2.1 inches. Not a really a problem, but I think it's a bit wasteful. Also, Nokia's inexperience with slider phones really shows. As for the keys... a) The keypad is too short, making it hard to hold; b) Said keypad is also too smooth, and hard, making texting more difficult than it might have been. (What it it with Nokia and strange keypads? This one looks normal but FEELS weird!) c) the other controls are, to my mind, ...  Read the complete review

This surfaced around the same time as the lower-budge smartphone, N73. N80 was the flagship, and it indeed had everything. It had wi-fi which N73 was missing, though the camera was not as great. The screen resolution was someting to talk about. I only had this for few weeks, for for those few weeks, I was amzed by the quality of the screen, which was absolutely flawless. Down to little detail, it was like a computer screen! The Symbian is smart of course, but not as responsive as N73. The build quality was poor too, and the fame quickly died down. It was more expensive at first, but did not hold the price and now N73 is more expensive than N80. Other than ...  Read the complete review

I have had the Nokia N80 for around 3 months now and havent had any problems with it, or any regrets in buying it. It is still, in my eyes, one of the best looking phone out at the moment and with cheap contract offers availiable on it, dont see any reason in not getting one. Ill go through the main features of the phone which I use on a more or less day to day basis: -Menu/ Contact list - The phone is generally easy to navigate and I do not think you would have any problems doing so. -Camera/ Video - The phone has an unbelievable 3 mega-pixel camera (more MP than the digital camera I use on eBay!) so the picture and video quality is like nothing you have ...  Read the complete review
