The good: Small, squat hardware; good camera controls; front camera for 3G calls; hot swappable memory cards; good screen.

The bad: Short on built-in memory; no autofocus for camera; slider is not spring loaded and has no convenient grip.

The bottom line: Nokia's N80 has a neat design, is packed with features and is a great all-rounder, but it does have its faults, such as a shortage of built-in memory, lack of autofocus for the camera and lack of slider grip.

Great Companion



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Almost complete tools for mobile office with internet, e-mail and office docs viewer
Cons: Battery life could be better, requires better internet browser
Opinion:
I have been using this phone for 2 years plus now and still happy with its features. N80 can be used as modem too whenever I am in the roads for business trips - very handy. Of course it lacks the new gizmos compared to the current PDA Phone, but I still trust this phone as my PDA phone.


 

I'll give this a grace of B+



Rating: 7 out of 10 (Very good)
Pros: Call quality is good. Features are plenty
Cons: Bulky. Transitions between screens are slow
Opinion:
For a phone, it works great. The call quality is very good in my experience. The features such as the music player, 3 mega pixel camera, ability to connect to various other devices are nice to have. But the camera didn't really impress, even for just a 3 megapixel. It looks good on the phone but when blown up on a computer, the quality deteriorates. Then again, if you want to take nice photos, just use a dedicated digital camera. This one works great for a phone camera.

It's on the bulky side. It doesn't fit so well in the pocket. The slider isn't very rigid. It slides open and shut entirely too easily. The screen is very sharp and clear. But the numerical key pad isn't the most user=friendly, especially if you have large fingers.

All in all, I was satisfied with ... Read more

 

A great combination of power and entertainment



Rating: 10 out of 10 (Perfect)
Pros: gr8 styling, excellent camera (in daylight), rich with camera features, excellent sound quality, crisp display, multitasking, fast navigation
Cons: Slightly bulky, Camera is not impressive for night shots.
Opinion:
Hi,

I am using this phone from last one year. Its a wonderful gadget, loaded with lots of features. Its processor is really fast.I never seen such a crisp display in any other mobile phone. The audio quality is just next to IPod.I used the Ipod's headphone with my phone and the audio quality is almost same in both. The only problem i found is the battery backup, which is very less.
It is a value for money product, so go for it :)
