Customer Reviews

Brilliant phone, but let down by two huge flaws.
My first impression of this phone blew me away. The features are outstanding and, as with all Nokia's, it is intuitive and easy to use. The 3 mega pixel camera is superb, as is the video recorder. The media player is very good, it's got wi-fi connectivity and a huge number of other features too long to list.

That is the plus points but sadly there are two downsides which have made me eventually wave goodbye to the N80. The first is the battery which is truly pathetic. This phone needs charging every single day and if you are a heavy user then I would advise keeping the charger near by so you could charge it up at work for example. It really is appalling and it is astonishing that it was not improved before being released. Surely Nokia must have tested it out?

The final nail in the N80s coffin is the dreadful slider mechanism. I am a fan of this type of phone but there is a huge problem with this one, there is no spring mechanism. This means that instead of "snapping" open and closed and feeling solid, it is a pathetic, weak feeling slider. Because opening the slider unlocks the phone you will find it doing random things without you wanting them to happen whilst it is in your pocket. For example, daily calls to the first person in your phone book, music or video playing from the media centre, video recorder being activated and recording the inside of your pocket! I bought a case to try and remedy this, and although it stopped the slider opening, it just made the phone too bulky to carry around in comfort.

It was with much reluctance and regret that I sold this phone but the downside of its flaws sadly outweighed any of the brilliant features it has.

People may disagree, but please, before you buy this phone have a look at it in a shop to see what I mean about the slider. I am sure it may make you think twice.

First impressions of the N80
Just recently got my hands on one of these bad boys, it comes jam packed with all the features, 3 mega pixel camera, wireless LAN, MiniSD slot for up to 2GB of flash memory, to store hundreds of MP3s on, and photos. This is all good, but in my opinion the battery life is quite poor, you'll usually have to charge your phone every other night, this is quite common with most 3G phones, especially symbian series 60 phones.
Menu navigation is simple and with a handy quick access media button, you can browse your photos and tracks quite easily.

Another good feature of this phone is a dedicated camera button, just flip your phone horizontally, and hold down the camera button on top to snap photos, and your away.
The settings for the camera are quite in depth, with white balance controls, and various exposure settings, also the camera has a dedicated switch on the lens to switch between taking close up pictures and distance ones which sets this phone apart from various other similar phones.

Picture quality is excellent, print quality! much better than most phones on the market, even though this phone doesnt have the carl zeiss logo on the box.

The most exciting feature is the WLAN, this phone is the first to have a wireless internet adaptor built in, and is especially handy if you have a wireless router at home, you can access the full internet on your handset, including pages like amazon,you can also access the internet from wifi hotspots anywhere they are available which is fantastic, places like starbucks and macdonalds e.t.c

In conclusion, a great phone with great features, let down only by its battery life, if you dont mind regular charging and your looking for a phone that can replace your digital camera and your MP3 player then this is the one for you

N80 Great Handset (Poor Battery)
My only complaint about this handset is the Battery life!
Your lucky to get 2 days out of normal use and if your a keen surfer expect 1 day before recharging.

Apart from that the phone is fantastic, WiFi access is great and I surf everyday at work for free on "Open Networks"
WEP Network setup is easy and my "Homenet" connection has transfer speeds of 452kbps.

I would also recommend the Krussel case as mine has hit the floor twice now and has come out unscathed. It does add bulk to the phone but its worth it.
