marian, 26 Nov 2008hi, were u guys able to upgrade your firmware to 21.0.008? ... moreI updated a few days ago to V21.0.008. The phone is now no longer hackable, and the update doesnt allow installing CorePlayer in the Mem Card, it has to be installed in the internal mem. Other than all that its a welcome update, havent had a single reboot even during very heavy useage and the phone handles RAM a lot better whilest multitasking.

    I've used this phone for about 2 months, its a pretty cool machine but what scares me is the 'shakey' slide. Yes, the slide shakes and i think it could be a factory defect cos some people i know complain about the same issue

            n81 is a quality phone, just wished it had minimum 3.2 mpixel cam and gps but none the less this is class mobile

              if you can see on the review the n81 8gb of GSMarena the camera is different because say 4.8mm 1.2.3 on the other n81s not say this and if this is 8gb version in the front on the phone just say n81 not n81 8gb and this n81 looks like a more plastic than others n81 well one critic of the state of the n81 "8gb" of the GSMarena

                Anonymous, 27 Nov 2008u better buy n82 rather than n81. for only a few bucks more... moreIt can not slide. And doesn't fit in small N81 pocket case. It doesn't have music buttons, and doesn't play music with the quality of N81.

                      marian, 26 Nov 2008hi, were u guys able to upgrade your firmware to 21.0.008? ... moreI've upgraded last night. No visible changes. On more useless line "share online" appeared on the standby screen. And the CorePlayer stoped working, even if i reinstall it, the phone just restarts when i try to open it. Damned!

And when you connect to the satellite the phone will ask the permission to use the network. If you choose not to use it, then you'll be able only to see your current position on the map you have previously downloaded, without the option of guided navigation. It refers to all Gps enabled phones even with external bluetooth receivers. Standalone Gps devices are using their own software with all the maps and guidance preinstalled. So if you can find gps software for a symbian with all the features in then there will not be any need to use a network.

                                  X-men, 15 Nov 2008Does anybody know, who have used this phone, if it has GPS ... moreI saw someone was asking if it is possible to use the GPS Feature on this device, Well it is POSSIBLE! But it will be costly if you want to use it on the go.Because in order to be tracked by the satelite , your device need internet connection which can be made by either using your wireless Wi-Fi or by your using intrenet via your provider.
                                  Hope you got the answer you were looking for.
