Nokia N81 (8GB, Unlocked)

By (cnet.com)

The Nokia N81 supports the Nokia Music Store and N-gage gaming platform and features a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual speakers, and dedicated gaming keys. The Symbian smartphone also offers a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and e-mail capabilities.

The N81's controls are cramped and hard to use. The smartphone doesn't support the U.S. 3G bands, and performance can be sluggish and buggy. The Nokia Music Store and N-Gage gaming platform have not officially launched in the United States yet.

We had high hopes for the gaming- and music-centric Nokia N81, but it ultimately disappoints with a bad design and buggy performance.

One of the best multimedia terminals, Nokia N81 8GB embeds the fastest and most stable operating system. There are two main targets that this phone will fully satisfy: Symbian freaks and music lovers. Internet fans will also love this handset, as it ...

The phone is too heavy and bulky to fit in a small pocket, which will certainly make its desirability lower. A better camera and a much easier to use keypad would've made a difference

The in-call speaker has been placed on a curious, yet unique 4-side plate. The plate can be pressed, as it features two buttons that can be used as controls in various mobile games. The buttons are invisible when not used, but will immediately become ...

At first glance, Nokia N81 8GB can be considered the handset that will make...
