Advantages: Symbian, 3MP, and Wi-fi

Disadvantages: Too big, too heavy and not so tough

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 that, lets not forget this was the flagship, and it has almost every feature imaginable. A huge down point is the weight and the size, which is extremely thick and builky.

Summary: I can't say it a failure, but nowhere as successful as N73
