Nokia N80 review: Jack of all trades

17 May 2006
N80, one of the latest Nokia handsets, hit the market about 20 days ago and surely it made some big waves along the way. The phone comes in a place of very high class business phones with bunch of features and extras. It features a very good 3 megapixel camera, a hi-resolution display, a miniSD card slot, a FM radio and all this is backed up by advanced connectivity technologies such as quad-band GSM, 3G UMTS, EDGE, and Wi-Fi.

    problem is everyone seems very happy with little !!! point is, the phone is powered by 220mhz arm 9 cpu with 64mb ram ( originaly 42) and runs real slow, trust me guys. at first with shipment softwares that come with n80 runs okie but whn u installed other 3rd party yet very important additional software , the phone become quite unstable to perform and hangs often. they display might look sleek with its higher resulotion but the size is small which is not the standard of a smartphone. after usin over a year its is very common that u will hav to replace its display or the ribbon. trust me it happens. so my advise is, dont buy it, rather buy n73 which is far more stable than n80 with high quality camera. .... or buy the best of the bests N 95

        I have a N80 IE and I'm really happy with it. WLAN works flawlessly with Linksys router using full WPA2 encryption. Screen is excellent, software is pretty fast.

        What I found to be desired is calendar entries for contact's birthdays. Although you set contact's birthday in it's phonebook entry, you have no options to put it into calendar or add alarm to it - you need to make a separate entry in the calendar for the anniversary.

        Other than that... no objections thus far.

                Dear ALL, even though the N80 looks great, its performance sux big time,.. my advice to all Nokia lovers is to avoid spending a penny on any "N" series.
                Bottom line is you gotta know what you want out of a cell phone, like if you're into a camera with flash, videos, or even a cool GPS satallite navigation program, then your best bet is to consider something like "i-mate", a pocket PC that already absorbs Windows, therefore, any other application won't be hectic for the phone to handle, & ONE of the PC's options is making phone calls. But if you're interested in a reliable phone that doesn't give you many problems, you gotta cut down the extra features as much as possible, I'm selling my N80 & going for the E60. Wish me luck :)

                  my friend bought N80 and says that the WiFi of the wlan interferes with the phone reception
                  so that most of times he can't receive calls
                  cause phone network is down
                  anybody know anything about this?
                  plz any help is appreciated cuz i like this phone very much
                  if this thing was wrong and the phone is ok then i'll go and buy it if not and the phone suffers from this problem then i'll really feel sorry

                                      iv had my n80 for 6 months now, mmm where do i start... at first it was great then it started to slow down then eventually stopped. So i took it to the 3 menders for them to tell me i needed a software upgrade? Waited an hour still not working when i put my memory card in, this phone has been sent off 3 times and STILL DOESNT WORK. does anyone out there having the same problems? Whats the point having a phone with no memory card in it for it to work...
