I have used n81 for 3mths now. Though I’m a "die hard" Nokia fun, i'm awfully disappointed with this model. Nothing works. The keypad does not function after 2weeks use.can't use the navigation keys. The battery runs down at 10pm if used or not.
I can only receive calls and make calls only from the phone memory.

I wish the Nokia people will contact me because this is a total disgrace from nokia.

            The N81 has 25mb of internal memory NOT 12mb. The Processor is a Freescale i.mx31 single core CPU, running at 369mhz. In the latest V20.0.056 Firmware it has the FP2 Menu transitions and effects, and the navi-wheel now works in Messaging, Contacts as well as the Gallery and Music Player like it used to. It also has WRT- WEB RUN TIME WIDGETS SUPPORT, and Flashite3.0 so it has Desktop YouTube support in the built in Web browser these last two features apply to N82 and N95-8GB as well, if you could please add some of those to the spec sheets. Thanx.

              N81 microSD and 8GB version is same all the way except the external memory
              I recommendate the microSD one because we can upgrade the external memory due to our needs
              although actually the N81 microSD can upgraded more than 8GB with microSD card
              while the N81 8GB is stuck on the max storage of 8GB
              and when its 8GB flashdrive get broken by virus,wrong app,etc. it will be hard & expensive to fix

                Hi,

                I am planning to buy Nokia E51. I am just confused as E51 is not very good in audio quality. Is this phone (N81) will include all the features as E51 has?

                        mbbm, 14 Aug 2008done it but still d same.some app that installed in external need some space in the internal for register
                        and of course I can't suggest you to erase it
                        if you really need the app
                        btw,are you still use the firmware V.11?

                        N81 2G is better
                        because we can enlarge the external memory with our needs
                        and the fact is that N81 2GB can be enlarged more than 8GB with microSD (but not suggested)
                        while N81 8GB with built-in flashdrive harder to fix if get broken by virus,wrong app,etc.
