first point...its a super finger print magnet...

trying the ngage games 2moro...will post reviews...but its demos ....

new n81 facts

1. SMS buttons are super hard to press ... its like the music key pads of N95 ...and not sms-friendly . It will sure give u thumb pains after long term sms . not worth it i should say for sms freaks ... (based on my friends comment , shes a girl ).
2. The Red and Green call butttons are small , always press wrongs . ( the girl is super slim , so small fingers ).

ok

Ill try it out 2moro and take some pictures....

ok...

i reviewed it .

Camera sux (maybe im used to N95 5MP) . like other ordinary nokia 2mp camera , nothing to shout about . i forgot to take pictures using that phone , but i took pictures of the phone . I didnt really check on the camera , but there are settings like sharpness and the usuals .

Sound Quality is brilliant with tiny whiny bass . However , the loudness is about 20%-30% louder than the speakers of N95

Built . The N81 totally feels solid at the price of being heavy . The buttons are sleek . However the red and green (calling button) are small and easily pressed wrongly. The lock/unlock button is a new design . Push to lock and unlock (refer to pictures). The headphone is on top too with the power button.

Design is very very sleek , Ive seen it and it is awesome Total feel of a stylish phone !

Screen is super super sharp . Not like N95 screen .

Softwares includes MAPS too . But no internal GPS of course.

The music player is always on . Cant be closed.

The interface is more Yeng and Nicer . Super nice interface The visualization in the music player is increased by 1 (ugly one though ).

Games , I never played Ngage before . But the quality can be compared with the old Game Boy Advance . With its Super sharp display . There are 2 hidden buttons which will glow when playing games next to the handset speakers ( not loudspeakers ) . Totally awesome for design and innovation .

SMS wise , it looks nice to see . But I dont get the SMS-Feel when u type sms . I usually miss a few keys because of the keypad being soft soft ( not touch keys , u can feel the buttons ). However , Occasional SMSing Not bad . Playing games also not bad

Ngage can be download to the N95 too . So im trying to download the Ngage inside the N95 and compare the Quality with the N81 . haha . Pictures coming up real soon once i edit (resize) it. Any more questions please feel free to ask me . I also took a video using my N95 of the Ngage games but really blurry cause no focusing while in video mode . Post it in youtube soon.

About battery hours , ask me later on cause the battery is still new and the owner keeps playing with it so of course the battery depletes faster .

erm...keys , the buttons surface are flat , u have put a lil more effort to get the key responds. Its a lil above average phone to SMS . Not really hard nor soft...just middle middle . Once get used to it , should be no problem. What im afraid is those people with huge thumbs , for sure hit multiple buttons at one time . That means we have to use the tips of the thumb , which exerts more pressure and sore faster .

err , its long.....what can i say .... if u got big hands then good , if u got small hands , i guess u have to extend your index finger to support the top of the phone.

Orientation if im not mistaken is always potrait in standy mode. however in game mode you can select landscape mode. i havent try landscape in video yet . Will post some other time . Gotta meet my friend again lol . Will ask for her comments.
Picture later . I cant really comment on the picture comparison with N91 =.= Dont have one and pictures from reviews site are taken at different situations .

I didnt have a change to try the wireless ... Memory Full . Had to shut down .hehe.

Battery give me a few days . Let the battery cycle a few times.

Its not my N81 8GB. My best friends . Had a chance to play around for about an hour . Just giving my comments about it . Im not bias .

I got mine as a present a few days ago. Kinda liked it but hate the picture quality, same as yours....a little greenish blur. It just need a GPS to make it a complete phone.

@minde
I have tried sending alot of music with bluetooth, seems ok. You have prob with sending or when after completed?

the N81 for problem receiving =.= ... i tried 2 days ... also memory error ....

louder ...... but i doubt the quality is better than Sony ericsson . SE phones got bass...hehe....nokia sharp trebles...

yup ...got it too

i dont think got problem , this N81 is not using the same memory device like N91 . its using Flash Based , Like our Thumbdrive ... So wont lag and summore price difference between N81 and N81 8GB only around RM2x0...more worth it if u get 8GB .
