Nokia N81 8GB

The nokia n81 is one of nokias new high end phones. It features many good music and gaming functions. I brought one a couple of months ago and through this review I will talk about my experience using it. The music is the main feature on this phone so I will start off with it. There is a 8gb flash memory on this phone, giving room for a stonking 2000 songs. The music menus are ipod like and straight forward to use. There is a standard headphone port on the top of the phone allowing for any headphones allong with a cool hold switch, giving an mp3 player feel. The navigation wheel can also be used as an ipod style scroll wheel in the music player, but is ...  Read the complete review

This is my favourite phone I have ever owned - in fact I liked it so much that when my contract ended I decided to keep it instead of getting a new phone! I've had it for 2 years now (with one replacement along the way - my fault, I dropped it and the top button cracked) and have no intention of upgrading anytime soon! Looks: OK, so it's not the prettiest phone... It's kind of "bricky" looking, quite bulky - a million miles from some of the sleek phones that are out now. However, it has a nice large screen and is not hideous so it's worth the style sacrifice as they pack a lot into the (relatively) small ...  Read the complete review

A functionality rich mobile, one of the many Nokia mobile phones I have procured over the years. Starting with the brick in 1994 to this my current phone. Regretably I must say this is the most frustrating phone I have owned, the reason being is the slide functionalilty to access the keypad. On my 3rd N81 now, everytime the keypad has stopped working in some form or other, either the odd keys, 1&8 seem to be serviced by the same matrix, or the entire keypad WILL stop at some point during ownership. Only two months before I can upgrade and get rid :) The features of the phone are second to none, bluetooth, WIFI MP3 and radio to name but a few. The radio struggles ...  Read the complete review

I have owned a nokia n81 since christmas. I think its a great phone with a very wide array of features. It has also been a very hyped phone, many gadget and phone websites have stated that they think it could well be the start of proper mobile phone gaming in 2008. But can it live up to the expectations that have been given to it? The reason for the gaming qoute is that the n81 includes nokia's new n-gage platform. The n-gage platform is available on the 6 most powerful n-series phones. It is a mobile gaming program capable of playing games with graphics that could prove a tough match for the psp and ds. There are two gaming buttons on the top of this phone, ...  Read the complete review

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 products that I have had. The instructions were clear but with a little bit of fiddling I think that most mobile phone users could work out how to use it without nokia's help. Now for the technical ...  Read the complete review
