Quick review

The good
Screen, games look great, Ovi service, 3G, 8GB on-board memory, 3.5mm jack, landscape mode, Wi-Fi
The bad
Looks like another Nokia, confusing button interface, only 2 megapixel digital camera
Verdict
The N81 will still be seen as the Nokia N95's cheaper brother and with that in mind will always be fighting to prove its worth

  • You like music, well it's has come to you. You like videos that are hidden to u, they are just click away. Should i tell you all no i don't think so, all i can tell you is that all this has come to you and if you are really interested try the Nokia N81, just close yo eye and the music will take you there if want to. Me i love this phone and it's my system any any were, how about u. Posted by Albert, uganda
  • i love n81 nokia mobile phone Posted by zoza, cairo
  • Ive had my Nokia N81 for not too long now however it has its problems. For example after so long it seems that numerous keys will stop working, so far only 4 of my buttons have stopped functioning, however many people have said that eventually it will only be the on/off button working. If your looking for a mobile that lasts realy dont go with the Nokia N81, the speaker quality wont last you 3 months before your music starts to become static Posted by Miles, United Kingdom
  • i m fed up with it now.......i need a change..... but it is good...looks, processing speed.....it was good to use it Posted by virender singh, india
