Hi, I bought a N81 on Jan 2008. When i loaded nearly 5 gb, the phone's behaviour was very bad. Whatever control i give its used to come to the main menu. So i deleted all the files and now the phone's load is only 2 gb. Again it has started to behave very bad. When i receive or make call, the connection get cut within seconds. Guys my sincere advise is DON't go for this phone, Its really a piece of shit.

dear, you probably have a china (CECT) phone....
... moreThat's the biggest heap of crap I've ever heard. The lens protector doesn't make a difference when you consider the lens is practically scratchproof, as is the 0.3mp lens on the front AND the screen. It'd be pretty effing stupid to use non-scratch-resistant glass, wouldn't it.
All the lens protector does is repeatedly activate the camera in your pocket and flatten the battery as a result.

n95-1 has a better chance of getting better pictures than the 8gb version because of the lens protector

GUNDAM, 26 Jul 2008why so many people complain about the 2 megapixel in this p... morefor its expensive price range, at least it should've been equipped with a 3.2mp camera. because a 2mp cameraphone does not give justice to its price which is so high when it was first released. with its 2mp camera, n81 is in league with the likes of 6120c, 5700, n76 which are all middle range phones. and n81 is supposed to be a high end mid tier handset, a step above mid class handsets, because the price suggests so. if it was 2005, then it's forgivable. but it was 2007 when it was released alongside n95 8gb and n82 and its price is so close to n82's price bracket. that's the reason why it didn't sell much, because of a mediocore camera that doesn't give justice to its premium price. what's even worse is its camera is one of the worst 2mp camera of symbian phones. even an old n70 takes better pics than n81. i'm just wondering if nokia is doing something to improve the image quality of its camera through firmware updates just for compensation...

why so many people complain about the 2 megapixel in this phone . nothing wrong also . it still produce nice picture on 2 megapixel catogari. what do you expect from this 2 megapixel phone ? you want this phone to beat n82 5 megapixel camera ? please la don't be so silly . this phone is quite expansive , i know , but doesn't mean that this n81 should comes with 3 or more megapixel. this is a music phone so the camera is not so important . if this phone comes with 5 megapixel + xenon + carlz lens , then who is going to buy n82 anymore ? PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THIS IS A SUPERB MUSIC PHONE AND IS NOT A CAMERA PHONE . IF YOU LIKE GOOD CAMERA IN YOUR PHONE , PLEASE GO FOR N82 .

But I'm not really using it though it scrolls with superb speed comparing to normal "press and hold".

The navi wheel works in contacts and messaging too if you upgrade your phone's software to the latest version. but practically speaking, the navi wheel is less than nothing. its not as precise and sensitive as i would've liked. and often, it works against you! when u try to press the centre key(which the wheel surrounds) to select an item, you'll end up touching the wheel as well,shifting your option away, resulting in another item selected instead. silly.
