im using both N81 8GB and N95
I love the music features in N81 and the camera in N95
nothing worthless...
each phone has its own benefits...

im cant decide between this and the N95. how good is the navi wheel? is it easy and fun? I think that you have to move your fingertip in clockwise motion to move up a menu and anti clockwise to move down, am i right?

Its supposed to be a gaming device but it didn't have have 3D chip like N95(TI's Chip)....its 2D and 3D rendering is much lower than N95....why is it so?....simple answer its not a gaming device and Nokia thinks consumers are foolish they'll any thing which they offer

Phone is great i am enjoying the music and its features. I c'nt find much difference between N95 to N81. In fact i found N81 more user friendly in select Music menu than N91..

Thanks to the test
Really need to pay attention and try more those keypad before giving out the money. It's just too much keypad usage nowsaday, e.g. IM, SmS, email...etc.

I'm sure there is big mistake in speaker measuring test a Single speaker produce good result becoz they might have placed speaker of (SE K850/w960i etc) in front of mic Db measuring meter where as they must have measured stereo speaker by holding phone in way you hold in hand thus considering this Db meter unable to catch up highest volume of N81 coz it not possible for DB meter to catch up highest of speaker coz volume is pumped either side rather than front (human ears can hear this but Db meter can't) even if they measure Db of any one speaker the volume of other gets wasted to measure right Db of N81 they must play song on full blast in an enclosure so that sound must be pumped in front rather than side for sure it can cross 120db and thus on full blast it will blow all the other phones.

its a key feature, not an advantage. besides mediocre means that its just normal, nothing special about it.

This phone is awesome. The only drawback is the weight and the even heavier price tag. Not getting a new phone for at least the next six months anyway so maybe...something lighter and cheaper should be out by then

2.0mp camera listed as an advantage, yet "mediocre camera" listed as disadvantage? Cool, GSMarena. Make up your mind.
