And I forgot to mention that it doesn't even have an SMS character counter so you don't know when you are onto a second sms, it only tells you that you are about to send two SMS just before you send it....

I have had this phone for three days. Pros: looks good, nice display, takes a 1GB card, costs 100 Euro sim free. Cons: MP3 player automatically stops when you select another function (WAP, camera and some menu items), SMS interface is really, really user-unfriendly (it has no custom dictionary function so when using itap you must multitap names in every time, and some words like "Poland" are not even in the dictionary!), menus are really simple so the level of settings customisation is very poor, the phone is really difficult to hold while the headset is plugged in, it makes an irritating noise when switched on an off (can only be stopped by running the phone in a silent profile) and file management is non-existant. In summary, a very average phone that promised a lot but doesn`t deliver. Not for people who like to SMS.

Does anyone know what material used for s81? does it plastic or metal? In my opinion, s81 is the 3G Version from Nokia 6300. great feature, sophisticated, and reasonable price.

I have this model since 2 days and i'm really really disapointed. Comparing to Siemens S65 which i'm using for 2 years it's very simple and user-un-friendly :-(.
Writing sms is very important to me but iTAP is just misunderstanding and there is no add-word function - disaster :-(
Folder management, relocating files, importing and exporting files and contacts - another big weak point.
This mobile only looks, plays and displays good, but what's inside its big step back and (a must say it again) misunderstanding!!!

GPS: nepetrov76, the S81 supports a bluetooth-compatible GPS receiver. What you should do is to install a GPS Java software which is available on www.getjar.com
Skin/Theme: vict, the S81 does not support Skin/Theme

Unstable firmware. The one i got always hang when trying to reply received SMS. The only good side about this phone is the low price. Anyone looking for serious bargain could take this but look forward for troubling firmware

here are MMS SETTINGS I hope i didnt forget any steps
Im not sure if i do remember all steps but it looks a bit like in motorola v3 .First go to services (the earth icon) then to wap settings press option choose add profile and add the name that your provider requires( ie tmobile )
there you will enter the require values like profile name, home page, ip address (your provider will give you these). Myself I have used the same settings as in mms settings
Then you have to go to messages and then to mms and from there to (no 7)settings to enter what settings are needed by your provider in the field server info.(here im not sure if you just only need to add the profile you have created before for example tmobile)

Who would have thought that so many features fit into such a slim (13 mm) shell? The S81 will widen your communication horizon with such features as video telephony or real-time streaming.

Have used this S81 for one month. Prior to this, I am a big fan of Sony Ericsson T68i, which I haved used for 4 years until now.
In my opinion, S81 is a great phone! Stylish design, manly look, and solid candy bar build. Play music beautifully!
Some interesting and useful features:
- Flight Mode
- Reject List Caller Group: you can instanly bar incoming call from specific contacts by adding the contacts into the Reject List, which you can hardly do in others mobile phones.
- Paging LED: From the color of the Paging LED, you can know whether you have received a missed call or a new message.
- Speed Dialling and/or Shortcut Key.
- Flashlight.

Difference between Siemens and BenQ Siemens is that Siemens is a big organisation with interests in power, civil, nuclear, telecoms (till the merger of Siemens comms division with Nokia is approved, this will be called Nokia Siemens Network - NSN in short) while BenQ purchased Siemens's mobile phone division some months back.
