hi all......
i have a question about the video recording of this phone...i think it is inferior to an N70!.....i dont know is it bcz of the firmware of my fone or is it like tht in this model.....how is other ppl'z experience wid the video rec. of this fone.........
and here is a lil tip for u ppl.......i hav noticed tht applying the default theme in the fone saves some battery life...eg. GLASS , MOTIOn etc....i hav observed that after applying these themes tht battery stays longer rather if we apply custom third party themes......
And also.....i saw a GPS Navigation software BUILT IN the phone but it is hidden.....it has 2 options ...the are landmrks &,positioning.i havent used it bcoz it requires a bluetooth gps module....i tthnk it must work like da 1 in da N95....to find these hidden softwares u havta install a 3rd party TASKMAN n look up in the apps. through it.....u will find quite many hidden softwares!!....pls. check and tell me ur reviews.........
i need to ask one more thng....wt is advantage of upgrading to Version 5 firmware...is it smoother n bugfree....PLS REPLY
THX in Advance...........Aveo N80

dear mohammad,
N80 is based on Symbian OS. S60 Series v3.
it means that u can install sis and sisx files that compatible with this version.
unfortunatly the programs (sis files) that build for s60 v2,is not compatible with this phone.
it means you must install the compatible sis file to your phone.
however you can install java application on it.
n80 and n73 has a same OS

Ok Guys...
I really have to stick my head up from the ramparts here to defend a very good piece of kit from the negative experiences of a handful of people, who seem to be struggling with the fact they've got themselves something that you won't find in Woolworths or Argos.
Firstly, stability........ I've got a generic, non-branded, non-locked N80 handset with the most up-to-date firmware and it is ROCK SOLID. No crashes, no hangs, no resets or restarts, no white screens.... Just a rock solid phone. Why? Because Orange haven't had their hands on it, so it is exactly as Nokia intended it to be. So don't complain to Nokia that Orange polluted their phone with buggy software; it is NOT the fault of the handset manufacturer. The same will affect battery life. FACT.
Size...... Nokia clearly advertise the size of this handset. It is large because of the internal hardware required to do so much. If you want a thin phone get an Samsung Ultra. It won't have WiFi, or the amazing screen resolution of the N80, or Symbian software, but it will fit in your handbag with your Silk Cut, no problem. Labelling the N80 a "brick" just makes you look stupid.
Slow texts........ Download and install Nokia's SMS accelrator. Problem solved.
Keylock........ People are whining that the slider only has to move 1mm before the keys unlock. I have to slide my keypad almost the entire way to get the keys to unlock. Also, if it locked automatically upon closing the slider you'd all be complaining that it locks itself when you're still trying to do things with the other keys. It says "lock keypad?" when you close it. How much easier could it be.....?!!!!
Battery life......... Don't buy a handset that does as much as the N80 and expect it to last as long as your old green-screen 6310i. Nokia are clever people but they cannot change the laws of physics. There are some simple steps you can take to make your battery last longer. I get 1.5 to 2.5 days of life with average calls/txts/camera/mp3 usage. Turn off WLAN scanning when you don't need it, same goes for Bluetooth. Car chargers and desk chargers were invented for a reason. If you buy a laptop you can choose between a power-thirsty workhorse or a goes-easy-on-the-voltage weaker model. The N80 just happens to be a workhorse. That's what it was designed for.
Camera.......... The N80 has a good camera, that is let down by a lack of auto-focus. It is no secret that there are better 'camera-phones' out there. I get fantastic results outdoor in good light, and less so indoors. Which is what I expected from the advertised spec. I never expected something to compete with a Canon SLR.
Nokia PC Suite.......... This is excellent software for people that actually want to use the features of the N80, rather than just get a phone that plays the latest Britney Spears song. You can use it to back-up your phone, update the Firmware (very, very, simple...) and install extra software to the handset. It couldn't be easier. Again, on my modest Dell laptop it is ROCK SOLID.
So....... I'll admit that every manufacturer must send out a faulty unit from time-to-time, no-one's perfect. So apart from the occasional user review of someone who's had one of the bad units, I can't understand where all the bad reviews are coming from. Oh, hang on, I can... They're from people who got their phone upgraded and just went for the handset that did the most, or looked the most expensive, then complained because what they had in their greedy little paws was a piece of kit you have to appreciate to enjoy.
Get a de-branded, unlocked hand-set and update the firmware, install Nokia's SMS accelerator, and you've got an amazing phone.
It's a very advanced peice of technology that simply wasn't made for people that want to sit in McDonalds texting their mates on the next table and setting Eminem as their ringtone.
Thank you.

This phone is great. But I do disagree with the talk time, I usually get between 4 and 5 hours. Actually the battery life on this phone is better than any other phone I've had. I've never had any problems with it, except that it loads block breaker a little slow, takes about 5 seconds. I use all the features extensively :)
