Nokia N81 Slide Phone 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Looks smart, more functions than I'll ever need.

- Uncomfortable to hold due or to operate with one hand due to awkward size and silver trim round edge. Rings out very quickly. Much more difficult to access menus and functions than previous Nokia

+ Holds loads of music and the sound quality is great! Phone looks nice, and is easy to use. Bluetooth connects via the stereo in my car which is quite cool! I have only had this phone for a short time, and I'm still getting used to it, but so far so good! Once you realise the menu button isn't in the middle like most Nokia's I've had before, it's very easy to use!

- Heavier and bulkier than my last Nokia and when texting it can become a bit sore and uncomfortable on your wrist.

+ large screen , load speakers , loads of memory

- only 2mega pixle camera, software bit slow ,

+ The Phone Looks good

- It is continuinally freezing and I have to remove the battery to get it to work again. Also part at the top has broken off.

+ good music speakers and sound quality

- keypad is not good and short battery life

+ i really like the design, its a little different then normal nokia's.Its very easy to use just like every other nokia.

- The music keys.Very often when i am texting the music player will kick in and i havent got very large fingers so i presume it would be terrible for someone who has.

+ The 8 gig storage memory is huge! You'll never ever have to delete a text message or a contact! By far the best feature of the phone, plus the n-gage games are amazing!There are a lot of new games to choose from

- The mp3 player functions are awkward,even on silent the player can start up if you haven't turned your keyguard on which is very annoying feature!
Internet browsing can be pretty sluggish and almost not worth using sometimes

+ the sound quality of this phone is undescribable. its simply the best phone i have ever owned.nokia n81 is a strong phone,easy to use and beautiful to look at.

- i have not experienced anything bad about this phone.

- The slider just wobbles up and down its like a kid has put it together.The battery back should not be plastic when txting it moves and bends.

+ great phone with loads of memory and excellent for the web

- a bit bulky

+ I only really use the phone for calls, texts and photos. If I used the MP3 the battery would not last any where near as long as it does. All round good signal which is essential for me. The volume of the ring tone can be really loud which again is essential for me.

- I've had Nokia's before and it would be handy if they kept buttons in the same place. The cancel button has made me shout at the phone a few times.

+ I like the large screen and the fact you can watch tv and videos on the phone. The menu system is pretty easy to use too.

- Because the N81 is also an mp3 player (amongst other things) I find that if you don't lock the keypad, you can easily hit play and get blasted with music...

+ ITS FUNKY, LOOKS THE PART, EASY TO USE AFTER A WEEK OR SO.

- NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH AND WHEN I AM BEING CHARGED TO USE THE INTERNET SO TEND NOT TO USE IT.

+ great features, looks good, great memory!8gb

- not a great battery life!

+ it is easy to use if you have had nokias before but i would buy a simpler one if you have never had a nokia phone. brillinat 8gb phone and has the latest technology in nearly every department. good for people on the go as you have access to email and the WWW. sound quality is superb, an excellent multimedia phone. good battery life. very stylish

- unfortunately it has its bad points. the case scrathes to easy on the case and picks up dust alot. i would recomend to leave the screen protector on. camera is only 2mp would like to see a 3.2mp at least for the money.

- the battery life is terrible, needs charging on a daily basis, also sometime hard to hear what the caller is saying through the ear piece have to put it on loudspeaker

+ Its easy to use and has some funky features like the photo album. Camera quality is good even though its only 2mp. Sound quality is good and I like the navigtion system a lot.

- Some things are hard to find in the menu and there is a lot of unneccessary stuff on the phone (but as is the case with most phones these days).

+ easy access to the internet,with its siize i dont need to strain my eyes while on the net...and the memory its great.

- Some features are complex e.g. setting up email, connecting through bluetooth

+ this phone does everything i need and does it well, especially the amount of music it can hold.

- a little bit bulky

+ Does pretty much everything you could imagine a phone to do. 8Gb is enough memory for just about anyone.

- The keypad on the front of the phone takes a bit of getting used to, but it's not bad. The build quality isn't the best I've come across, but it's just about ok.

+ nice and easy to use

- none

+ not much really

- Terrible, music always starts to play at stupid times because the play button is right next to the navigation and menu buttons.....so stupid....too big as well!!

+ battery life is good unless u use the wifi wich drains it alot, it looks nice, sounds great, video n camera great, memory brilliant, very easy to connect to a computer for tranfering things

- the music key, i often press by accident while using the menu n all of a sudden music is blaring out

+ Overall the phone is fine, i can find what i am looking for as i have always had Nokia phones and i find them to be very reliable.

- It doesnt have smileys, and with everything else that is on the phone i would have imagined it would have had them too :(
