Summary: Great purchase
Comment: Very nice phone.
As a Mac user, I was almost buying Iphone. But I'm a little bit clumsy too, so I opted for this model that looks like it's a little more resistent to clumsyness.
I realy can't say about Iphone because I don't have one. Until now, N81 resisted some falls to the ground.
One more thing. For Mac users, you can Isync just by dowloading a driver that you will find at nseries website in the workshop area.

Summary: Good value for its price
Comment: Got immediately going with this phone.. WiFi capability is awesome.. easy setup.. quick connection...pop3 email support is easy to configure.. still loading up the 8GB memory with songs and softwares.. its like having a hand held computer... bought this phone over blackberry Pearl and a hacked-iphone. Totally worth it.. Graphics are too good and 3-D sound quality is awesome. There is some lag in starting applications (eg: Yahoo Go!) but it is not significant given the size of certain applications. Fun to play Fifa on it... visit n81 blogs for more... dont pay extra for brown color.. it is hardly visible.. the black face plate is stunning...battery life is good too.. needs charging after 3-4 days of use...

Summary: Great Phone
Comment: This is a great phone. I don't regret its purchase. Battery is better than I've expected, it lasts for two days and I'm using the phone practically nonstop. Recharging takes about hour and a half which is also a plesant surprise. This is a great phone for its price.

Summary: One of the best phones out there
Comment: I was amazed when I learned that I could buy this jewel at such a low price! So I immediately ordered it, and I was very satisfied at how fast it got here. The phone itself is amazing: the wifi is a huge plus, and the Symbian operating system is something that I wouldn't be able to live without.

A few pros:
- WIFI!!
- quad-band, so you can basically use it anywhere in the world (needs SIM card)
- amazing set of features for a low price
- great battery life - up to 3 days if I talk for approximately an hour, use the wifi a little bit and play the game boy advance emulator for a couple of hours.
- very cool design
- nicely built, the sliding mechanism seems solid
- the music quality - simply extraordinary!! (this should have been the first one in the list, the music part of this phone is incredible. The speakers are very loud for a handheld device)
- the hands-free is really good
- 8GB of memory. Why would you ever need more?!
- the screen is perfect, very big and good enough even for watching videos on it. Web pages are easily read, even if there is a lot of text.
- the gaming aspect - it's very convenient to have those gaming buttons on top of the screen. They are comfortable and do not seem prone to damage.
- The operating system - you can install anything you want on this phone! To list a few, you can have Google maps, Youtube, Skype, and a whole bunch of emulators (Game boy, Game boy advance, NES, SNES... whatever you can think of :)
- the SIP option - you can call for free over a WLAN network. I am listing this one here because it is a big plus, although you will also find it in "cons" because I could not set it up.
- the speed at which it does everything. You don't have to wait for anything, you simply click on it and it opens. I previously had a Symbian 7 phone, and it was painfully slow compared to this one.
- the ability to synchronize all your contacts and text messages, etc, from your old phone to this one. There is a pre-installed app on the phone that does it all for you, in a flash.
- the second camera for video calls, although I don't know when I'll actually get to use that one.
- the N-gage games! How could I forget this one :) They are pretty good, and there's a whole bunch of new games coming up, so if you are a gamer you will enjoy that.

Cons:
- I had trouble synchronizing my Windows Media Player playlists with the phone. Either I could put my songs in a folder on the memory card, but without transferring the playlist file (so I only had a huge number of songs, but not arranged in any order), or I would have the playlist file, but all the songs would go directly into the root of the memory card, which would probably slow down the phone eventually.
- the buttons are not very convenient for typing text (compared to my old 6600); also, I keep pressing the "play" button accidentally, which is annoying because it starts to play music loud all of a sudden and startles everyone around.
- the camera is quite bad. This is not a problem for me, since I don't use it anyway, but if you want a nice camera then do not buy this phone. It really takes crappy pictures, with bad colours (kind of greenish), and quite flaky. I even feel like the front camera for video calls takes better pictures, even though the one on the back has a higher resolution. The flash is useless, too. The videos it makes are pretty good though, with a nice framerate and not choppy at all.
- as I already mentioned, I could not set up the internet calling. It always says "registration failed", while everything works fine on my PC. However, you need to have a wifi network in range to be able to use SIP, so it's not useful for everyone - so probably it won't matter to you that much. It is nice to use it at home or in the office - you could save quite a lot of money by calling over the net.
