CNET Asia Review

out of 10View score
The bad: Touch wheel is poor; average camera; bulky and heavy.
The bottom line: We love the Nokia N81's mammoth 8GB of storage space and excellent music and gaming features. However, we wish it wasn't so bulky and that it had a better touch wheel. As a result it's not really the revolutionary multimedia handset that we were hoping for.

The design of this phone is nice but Nokia should have done better with the built quality.

Pros: Wifi, Nice design, Fast interface, good battery life , good music player, cool remote controller earpiece
Cons: Poor built quality, mediocre camera , bulky , buttons are hard to press
Opinion:
The body quality of this phone is a big let down otherwise this is a beautiful phone. The buttons are hard to press especially on the keypad itself.The bottom 3 buttons takes quite a bit of getting used pressing them. Overall this is a good phone, I enjoyed using it. I don't agree with another user, this phone wifi is good, it's fast and I have no complains about it.

Opinion:
when I got it out of the box, i scrolled down the manual and other guide stuffs included. I switched on the phone and I was amazed because of the nice screen. I immediately transferred some music files from my pc and then, the screen prompted: memory card corrupted! I was planning to return it to the mobile store, but the problem was remedied when I switched the phone on and off. Well, the speakers are good when I played the music.
But, the major drawback was the illogical key controls! I can't understand why and how did they arrive at such design! when I was creating a message one tym at 3am, I accidentally hit the play/pause button and then the music played! The navi-wheel/d-pad (whatever u may call it)is annoying! it is absolutely a trying hard i-pod! and it is only limited to multimedia applications.
The wi-fi! yeah, the wi-fi is mediocre. There are some ... Read more
