so.. others then the batt stingy.,. any cons for n80? thinking of buying n80 or n73.. dunno which 1 iis better.. but i heard ppl says that n80 batt is juz a piece of sh!t. =.=

To me it is depend of your usage of the phone...if you received / call out a lot and using the bluetooth, browsing the net....etc...mesti lah the battery can't last.....

N80 able to record in 3gp & MP4 format. I did send the 3gp format to Sony Ericsson K500i. The movie aable to be play without any problem. Anyway I did send MP4 format to Sony Ericsson w810i, only can hear the audio, no video.

Maybe its because, N80 record video at 352x288 & Sony Ericsson w810i not support this resolution.

hi.. but from wat i hear is ... er.. even due to normal usage.. means.. receive .. call and ..sms or soemthing.. the phone still need to charge 1 time per day.. cannot last 2 days wor..

It actually can last more than that.....trust a N80 user for this....

haiz.. really thinking of getting 1 N80.. but i see that trade zone there got so many ppl selling off their n80 i also scare scare wan to buy.. dunno whats the prob of the phone...but most of them is selling silver colour n80.. i more prefer black.. btw.. i think the price of n80 will drop loh.. hmm

sob sob... nobody answered me, anybody tried their bluetooth GPS with N80's Navigator function yet ?

yeah me too.
what's the other cons for N80?
Really need to know before i buy it

and will the slider became loose later on?
kind of afraid on that one

To me..phone is still a phone ok.....it just have something extra in it such camera, video recorder, music player, wi fi...etc...slider will loose a bit it is true..color wise go for Black...silver suck..... End of the day which phone campture your heart....you go buy it....don't be like me...buy Nokia N70..then Nokia N90..then Nokia 91....Nokia 80 and lastly Nokia N93. To me all the N Series got there own good and bad...depend which you want ???

If it involved moving parts, like the slider, of cause it will be loose over the time...you just have to live with that or NOT choose a slider form factor phone...as easy as that...anyhow, i manage to solve the loose sliding on N80, check the 1st post for the tips...

Well...i am using the N80 for quite some time now an frankly i think it is a great phone...if you are an average joe, just like me, who do some phone calls, some sms & mms, some internet browsing, some documents viewing, some music listening, some video watching....i do not see why and cannot find a reason to say N80 is not a good phone...but end of the day, it all comes to what the user wants and thinks....personally for me, it is a great phone!

As for waiting for the price to drop thing....i have been in the waiting game and it is really sucks...when the price for N80 is dropped, you will have something more advance in the market, that you will probably have your eyes on....unless you can say that N80 will ultimately still be your target after a year or so, i do not encourage the waiting for price drop...just my opinion though...

hi surviror.. i know wat u mean.. but sometimes the price of SOME phone juz drop too fast.. u try to imagine.. w810i.. when 1st launch is about 2000+- ... and its only 3 months .. now the price is same with w800i =.='' i belive those ppl who buy 1st batch w810i is vomitting blood now ..

juz like my 6680 i bought previously also the same.. 1 bought it at Rm2200.. after 4 months it become 1800 =.=''' pain wei.. .. so i am looking fwd about the price of n80.. i am not that kind wanna wait till it drop till 1k lah.. but i will wait till the price constant a bit 1st then i will buy..

N80 user here .....

its been age i din login to LYN .... new thread huh ....


hello all~~~

Welcome back....to the forum...

Anything to share with us ???

Well, if you put it like that, it's like saying the N80 is too great to exist, wouldn't put it that way though...

True, if you recorded movies in MPEG4 format, some other phones might not be able to play it, or in some cases, might be able to only play out voices...HOWEVER, if you recorded you video in 3gp format, i don't see why other phones might not be able to support it..

pictures? Now that's just plain dumb... I've sent pictures that are WAYYY better than 5mp quality pictures but it still could display it, the phone would automatically resize the pic in order for him/her to see it...

you're so rich
get to change frequently.
nice!
thanks btw:)


erm, we can choose to record either in MPEG4 or 3gp? cool.

Yeah, with N80 you can choose to save the video file as MP4 or 3GP...of cause the MP4 video quality will be better...

Yup...not just in N80 though, it's possible to do so in every n-series phone you see... it's versatile..Though Survivor is right, the mpeg4 format is definitely better than the 3gp, but it takes up A LOT of space, so, use it discreetly or you'll find youself with insufficient space

Nokia's doing fine and dandy and all, but Nokia better deal with their phone's camera... it takes great videos but mediocre images, they could take a hint from SE..
