Nokia N81

Despite reading many reviews on the N81, I still opted to go for it when it came for upgrades, partly cos I am not a high user, there was very little option around, that and the fact I didn't wish to join the N95 club.

I agree that the camera leaves a little to be desired for, however I use the camera for the occasional snap and for that its great. When I want to take serious pictures, I have a proper camera with optical zoom. The features for this phone are amazing, I have spent years being anti-nokia, but the os is great. The phone is nice and clear for calls and texting is nice and easy. Weight wise it is a little bit heavier but its nice to know I have something on me, saves me trying to work out if I have remembered it or not.

This is a nice alternative to the N95 in my opinion, it is a little bit different. I was concerned about the amount of buttons but they are easy to work round. The Ipod type scroll wheel impressed me, I don't know if other people are too light handed or heavy but it whizzed round for me and was very responsive.

The only other thing to remember is to close applications properly when you are not using them, failure to do so will make the phone run a little slower.
