The good: Great music features; excellent screen; top-notch connectivity.

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.

On the fence



Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: 8G memory, Ngage, large screen n buttons,
Cons: Lousy 2mp camera, bulky, plastic back cover, not very solid built, Lock button difficult to use
Opinion:
With its average battery life, and lousy camera this bulky phone may not be a lady killer. Smsing with one hand may provide to be a challenge since the phone is bulky.


Overall its pretty ok

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 8gb memory, music player, wifi, 16m colours, n-gage, standard 3.5mm jack, navi wheel, front CIF camera
Cons: 2mp main camera, glossy front prone to finger print and scratches, only available in black
Opinion:
whether you're an internet, music, or game savvy this phone has everything you'll ever need to get through the day. true to the n-series' catch phrase "multimedia computers", the camera may possess low resolution but it's forgivable. this phone doesn't only offer nextgen functions such as VoIP and offer maps; doesn't only allow you to add 3rd party solutions via s60, doesn't only let you play hi-resolution games but also let's you make a simple call :-), hey it's a phone after all!
