I'm proud owner of N80.

Lucky me, last night when I was riding my bike and there was others vehicle such motorbike & car behind me. And then I heard something dropping. First, I not really care about it. Anyway, the sound familiary to crystal case when you accidently drop it. immediately I look for my phone in phone pouch & my pocket but I can't find it. I straight away I turn back, I was shock my phone lying on the road where the others vehicle keep coming. Even few vehicle passby the phone none of them hit it. Thats amazing thing happend. Just a minor scratch on the phone.

went to a phone shop yesterday
and asked about the N80.
Almost picked it.

but the shop guy said
"personally I won't encourage you to buy N80. It's because the phone is so powerful that the movie is in MP5 file and other phones couldnt read this file. So does the pictures. It's so high in megapixel that other phones can't support it."

Is this true?

just a question can we use skype??? on the phone and futhermore can we usae the front cmera os a webcam on skype?

Of cause there is....if not why r they coming up with a new one?
The new firmware added some pre-install software like F-Secure and Acrobat Reader and also added the FOTA capability to the N80 

Some question guys, when u update the firmware via the Nokia Site...is the firmware they provided supported chinese character? Can type chinese SMS? Please let me know because chinese input is very important to me...thanks 

Survivor, chinese character thru SMS is a YES coz in new messages got that option "Language"

As for the WLAN, havent really test it out yet.

But this update saved me a good RM40

Cheers

The F-secure AV that was provided in the new firmware was also a trial proggie. Anyone knows of a full fledge AV that is FREE..?

Fsecure just 3 days trial. Im looking for other options now.

I dont think AVG got la.. but F-secure vry expensive.. bout RM200, if can get something less than RM100, I dont mind..

Can we scan the phone using antivirus from computer?Anyway, how are we going to update the antivirus from phone?

n80 can auto reject other ppl number ??

I am wondering, if we use high speed miniSD in our N80, for example the 80x miniSD, will that speed up the memory card read n write time? Or it doesn't show much effect? Does the N80 hardware support the high speed memory card?

1. Where is the cool Nokia Web Browser?
I mostly wanted the N80 to get my hands on the new Nokia browser that comes with Symbian Series 60 3rd edition. When I first used the phone I nearly flipped out because the browser sucked big time.
It took me a while to find out that the browser icon on the main screen called Services is the WAP browser and not the new Nokia Web browser. This browser is well hidden under a folder called 'My Own'. Bloody Hell Nokia! Tell your service providers to ship the N80 with the Web browser on the main screen. You are hiding the best feature of this phone. I found several questions why the N80 browser sucks on discussion forums. So I am not alone with this. Additionally the shitty WAP browser looks the same as the new Web browser to make sure everybody is confused. To solve this mess I moved the Web browser from under My Own to the main applications folder. Update: Puneet S. suggested that you also can use the media access button, where on the right is also the web browser linked. I am really happy with this browser. It is fast. I can browse I4U (see photo) like I do on my PC. The zoom out is great. The N80 screen is fantastic.
The new S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 Nokia announced yesterday actually solves that issue by merging the two browser into one.

2. Can the Blue blinking LED be switched off?
The answer is no. The LED starts blinking when the phone is in sleep mode to tell you that the phone is still on. Nokia, please, please add a feature in the next firmware update to turn this LED off. Nobody needs it and it keeps people awake at night. It is not even a soft blinking, it is a harsh flashing. The best solutions are either to connect the charger when keeping the phone next to the bed, turn it over or use black or silver fingernail color to paint the LED. Upate: I4U reader Puneet S. says that he has turned off sleep mode and that the battery life is not affected that much.

3. How to determine which Firmware your Nokia N80 is on?
The current N80 firmware is V 4.0623.0.41. You can see the version when connecting the N80 to your PC and right click on the N80 icon in the Nokia Phone Browser under My Computer. Or you can press *#0000# on the N80 and it will display the firmware version (Thanks Puneet S. for the tip).

4. How to upgrade the Firmware on your Nokia N80?
Nokia offers the Nokia Software Updater (download) for Windows XP that enables you to flash your N80 firmware. You can also go to Nokia service centers to have it done. FOTA (Firmware update over the air) is supposedly in the works.

5. Why is the battery life so short?
Check if you have Show availability under Settings/Connection/Wireless LAN set to Yes. Set it to never. I have now stand-by of a couple of days. With the Show availability switched on the battery was empty after 12 hours. Update: Puneet S. suggest to decrease the screen brightness by a notch and switch to GSM only mode. He gets a 2.5 day battery life with moderate talk-time.

6. How to protect the N80?
The N80 looks well made, but somehow I feel I need to protect it to keep it save from scratches. I decided to go with a crystal clear case, as these ad only a little bulk and do not hid the looks of the phone. These cases sell for a couple of $ on eBay. Updates: I4U Reader Roger S. went with a case from Krusell, because he needed a belt clip. Puneet S. just protects the screen with the typical clear plastic screen guards. He thinks the case is robust enough.

Can anyone tell me how to check phone battery effiency?  These days starting few days back my N80 battery seems to be very weak although i fully charged it.  I tested by not making calls and the battery could last around 1 day and few hours in standby mode.  I however still receive calls but for short time only.  Last time i could leave my phone in standby maybe 2-3 days.  But now only 1 day and a few hours.  Feeling worried now.  Anyone experiencing such incident too?

Thanks.

errr... one stupid question...
will the price of N80 drop again within
this year? i plan to buy one soon...

I saw the N80i advertisement in one of the local English paper, the so call internet-version N80, what's the differences btw??

when i enable sleep mode.. sometimes when ppl call.. my phone won't ring.. and they will listen the operator talking saying that the phone is not in coverage la.. busy la.. temporary unable la.. bla bla bla.. is it because of the sleep mode or what?

if u wan a phone for the camera... get n73.. if u wan style.. multi function phone.. get n80
