N80IE

Feb 25, 2008

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: Calendar is user-friendly
Cons: Nokia Call Centre is terrible couped with many other failures with the phone
Opinion:
This is the replacement set that I got from Nokia after the first one was faulty. Now I encounter many problems after the lapse of warranty. Text message that I received shows the time that I received the message, instead of the time which was released from the sender's message centre. For example, if my friend texts me @ 12 p.m. and I switch off my phone and only switch it on 6 p.m., the text will show that message was sent at 6p.m., instead of 12 p.m. I argued with Sharin from Nokia Care Centre and she confirmed that this is the 'value-added' features given by Nokia, due to customers' demand. Apparently this only happen for those upgraded under the latest software. I find this ironically stupid for Nokia to have that group of engineers.

Meanwhile, back-up your memory card. In my first phone, all my data was erased. Nokia Centre (Johnny Lim, the manager for Nokia Suntec ... Read more

 

Good only if its Working

Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: WiFi, 3MP cam, S60 3rd Edition
Cons: Once spolit, difficult to repair
Opinion:
got this phone for a few weeks. Was initially quite fine with it, till i finally faced some problems with it. Went to nokia care twice already but problem still persist. singapore's nokia care centre sucks big time. i was quite pissed, and asked whether this could all stop if i was issued a replacement phone. alas, replacing faulty phones aren in their policy, so only way is repair till its done. yes, nokia bulids great phone, but probably once they sell it to you, they wun ever want it back. EVER.

 

There is auto lock in this phone & price is reasonable.

Pros: The internet is quite fast compare with N70.
Cons: Battery life is short average about 2 days max,
Opinion:
I have brought this phone for about a month, so far it does not fail me even I was using a 2GB card.To S,There is a self setting phone lock at phone setting wherby you can set the time for locking.However, I wish Nokia come up with big caller ID display and have support on animated wallpaper in the future phone rether than relying on 3rd party software.

 

Quite a good phone

Mar 24, 2007

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Camera, Internet Services, Music Player.
Cons: Thickness, Battery Time, Numberpad too Flat, Lack of Automatic Keypad Lock.
Opinion:
Gifted to me by my husband 2 weeks ago. Camera shoots clear photos. I love it that this phone allows me to apply effects to the photos. Surfing the web is easier as it has a browsing mini-map that shows part of the web page i am currently reading. Also, there's a screen with thumbnails that shows websites i have visited just in case i need to look at my browsing history. Music player playes good quality sound. The downsides: phone is thick, short battery life of about a day since at times, i am browsing the internet, playing the music player or sending sms. The numberpad is too flat...my husband who has large hands, is having a slight difficulty in using this phone. There's no automatic keypad lock. I have to always remember to select "Yes" when prompted to avoid unwanted dialing. Still, i would recommend this phone if you are able to live with its downsides cos this ... Read more

Pros: Works Great
Cons: Thickness
Opinion:
So I've lived with this phone for 2 months and just bought a 2 GB miniSD card at the IT show on Saturday. It works great no lag at all and since I've used 400 MB on songs and videos, I still have the space for full capacity mp4 video recording and space to take 2341 pictures to take in 3 Megapixels. This is a great phone though I would recommend the black one, since my silver one catches fingerprints really easily. Great phone for a demanding user but do keep in mind that the battery only lasts a day with about and hour of wireless surfing and an hour of music playback, doesn't matter if you're using headphones or not. I do love the keypad, it's big and really nice to type on. One thing I noticed though, is that I can't play music and surf wirelessly at the sametime. My music will close by itself after about 2 ... Read more
