              N81 is right choice for those who love music and Wi fi Connectivity and its economical for the buyer the only problem is its camera is not up to its specification when its compared N85 But the other features of N81 is some wat all same to N85…

                Initially I hd issues like - The memory is full - please close programs to access....then a few months later the voice of the caller from the other side became shrill cud barely understand what my wife spoke.....but now after about a year and a half I am happy with it

                    5 reasons why to buy a n85 than a n81 :

                    1.larger screen
                    2.clearer camera
                    3.n85 has a tv,out whilst n81 doesn't
                    4.n85 is light whilst n81 is heavy
                    5.n85 looks better than n81

                      For me, this phone scores big time!
                      As a consumer who only upgrades every two years, I can say this phone is a massive leap in performance from my 6680 in all depts except one.
                      In South Africa we have a very popular chat program called MXit. The unfortunate thing with the N81 is the keypad. My Nokia 6680 probably has of the best ever keypads for chatting & the adjustment to the N81 is not very smooth.
                      Quick question to all slide phone users. Does the mechanism on all these phones have slight play, a looseness to it? I would think that their engineering would negate this hassle.
                      Thanks from Sabaki :)

                              Hi I bought this phone (8GB version) last month. It comes with a very rock solid browser. As compared to E61 which I used to have last time, the browser seems to be more stable on N81. Transfering files between my PC to the phone or vice versa can be a little slow but problem free. Futhernmore there are some pretty nifty freeware apps like MSN Messenger, Gmail etc available on the net to transform this little gem into a serious, fun and chill out phone. Get it if you like it. It's worth it.

                                      I bought the phone last Feb 20. Its a great phone I must say. I much into wi-fi and music. Great wi-fi phone. Great music. Just little bit heavy compared to other phone. But aside from that, everything is ok!
