Nokia N81 Specifications

By Joseph Hanlon on 18/12/2007

More Nokia reviews , RRP: TBA

The good:

  • Massive 8GB storage
  • Wi-Fi connectivity
  • "Navi-wheel" for speedy sifting through music

The bad:

  • Chunky handset design
  • Poor quality camera
  • Not compatible with many popular video codecs

The bottomline:

Similar to a Volvo, the N81 is a strong performer in a a boxy chassis. Eight gigabytes of storage is great, and the music player is on par with its competitors. The real question is: are you a Volvo driver?
