Good Points

The screen is excellent, the WiFi is quick and easy, the camera is fantastic for a phone and you can have up to 2 GB of memory.


Bad Points

The battery life is poor and the slide isn't positive enough.


General Comments

I bought my N80 second hand. Before I did I read mixed reviews. What mobile and stuff magazine have it as their top smart phone. Some people don't rate it at all. When I got the phone it had Vodafone branded firmware. By doing a bit of reading I found that you can replace this very easily with a free program, the included data cable and Nokia's own upgrade software. Since doing this the phone is a much better animal. its true the battery life isn't good. Saying that though, none of the so called smart phones I've looked at fair well in this department. Being able to receive my "home" email via WLAN is a massive bonus. My mobile contract email is now unused. A large saving on the monthly bill! Using the internet is much cheaper too rather than connecting via WAP. WiFi hot spots are now everywhere, even in some city centers. Aside from the battery, the phone's major downfall is the slide. It's nowhere near as good as the Samsung slides. I've made calls and sent messages by just having the phone in my pocket. I think Nokia should look at making the keylock Automatic in the next upgrade. Would be great if someone could make an improved slide for us phone repairers/modders. The best feature for me is the ability to run Tomtom 6 with a GPS receiver. Since the upgrade it seems a little faster and more reliable in this department.
