The Nokia N81 is the successor to the well loved Nokia N80. This cell has a massive 8GB of internal memory which is a great feature, but if that is not enough there is a memory card slot as well. The Nokia N81, with its slide-up technique, impresses in both looks and features. The Nokia N81 mobile phone comes with remote control, connectivity cable, compact travel charger & battery and a 2 GB MicroSD memory card. There is a feature of expandable memory as well that allows a user to add a memory card to suit their storage needs. The cell phone is available in a rich black color besides cobalt blue and graphite grey. The design is technically, one of Nokia's best and artistic, according to me. The N81 measures 17.6mm wide and weigh 140g. The shape and design of the phone is really pocket friendly. Its clean, professional, smart and a good screen for gaming facilities. There is ample buttons necessary on the main area itself to diffuse a bomb. and the key pads are nice and flat. The Nokia N81 is equipped with WLAN technology and 3G functions are also enabled. The phone focuses on the usage of media, music and the internet and comes with sophisticated and user-friendly function keys. The wide screen, which measures 2.4 inches, provides a high resolution and gives a classy viewing experience with its 16-million color display.
The N81 is specifically mutlimedia and gaming based. With a 2.4-inch screen, a slider design, Nokia has been thoughtful in designing this phone in that gaming and telephony has both been smoothly fitted into its nutshell. There are two keys which perhaps act as the A and B gaming buttons above its screen, there is also a new feature that no other Nokia slider phones have had in the past. A separate keylock button has been placed to allow convenient gaming while the phone’s slider is closed. Another scoring feature of the N81 is the fact that it does not fail to entertain. The plethora of games that can be played in almost realistic modes is much enjoyable and very lively. The action packed games can be viewed in portrait or landscape mode with special effects.
The Nokia n81 works on Symbian operating system that comes loaded with S60 3.1 software. The battery packs quite a punch and when fully charged, it can provide either 4 hours of GSM talk time, 3 hours of WCDMA talk time, 408 hours of standby time, 3.5 hours of QVGA video recording time, 4.5 hours of QVGA video playback time, 11.5 hours of music playback time or 6 hours of gaming time.In terms of buttons, the phone’s actual keypad has been installed based on a single platform plate which is completely different from the keypad of the N95 for example. Whilst this is so, the top end of the keypad, numbers 1, 2, 3 are very closely placed towards the bottom end of the top slider compartment, this may be a potential issue! However, apart from these minor problems, we would say that the phone itself has some good qualities, especially with Nokia introducing its new Navi wheel touch sensitive menu control, this does make the N81 quite unique. The Nseries line-up is now seeing a very amusing differentiation of its members. Nokia tries to take some devices to the mass-market using quaint designs and pushy advertising campaigns, like those of the Nokia N76.
Another part of its offerings, on the contrary, is jam-packed with features, so as to meet the requirements of the users who put some thought into choosing their new phones and normally have functionality on the top of their priority lists. Since the N81 was designed with the youth in mind, it’s no wonder why it sports such curves and materials. They tried to make it both no-nonsense and flashy at the same time, and in some ways they succeeded. N81 users can get access to millions of songs through the Nokia Music Store and listen to them on the phone's built-in music player. For gaming enthusiasts, Nokia is making available the N-Gage application where users can try games for free and buy the ones they like. The reception quality provided by the N81 is up to Nokia’s standard, nothing to worry about here. The volume of ring tones, all thanks to its stereo-speakers, is over the roof, which automatically makes the N81 one of the market’s loudest devices. The vibro alert is not particularly easy to feel due to the phone’s bulky casing. The Nokia N81 is no doubt the best creation from the N-Series Pavilion.

The Mother of Elegance
The Nokia N95 is an absolutely jaw-dropping incredible device. It would be doing it a huge disservice to simply call it a mobile phone. What can you call a jewel of electronic wizardry which incorporates a 5 megapixel camera, satellite navigation, media player, a full suite of PDA features and, oh yes, even makes phone calls? That's going to be a tough decision, but I believe that there is a groundswell of opinion behind the term: "Mine!"
The Nokia N95's two way sliding format lets you go slip slidin' away to choose between a proper keypad or a fully touch sensitive arrangement of player controls. The first time you see the 2.6 inch screen switch to landscape mode and the 3D multimedia menu start rotating around, you're likely going to dive for your credit card.When you're sloshed by the boardwalk in Blackpool and trying to find your way back to your hotel, you'll appreciate the N95's capability of downloading local maps on the fly, GPSing you within a few feet and showing you just where the heck you are.The 5 megapixel camera exceeds the performance of Nokia's already superlative N93i snapshooter, featuring a Carl Zeiss lens with autofocus which renders super strong colours and provides exceptional picture quality in even very low light situations. Should you need a little help in the lumens department, the LED flash will shed a lot of light on your subject so that your buddy can see the next day how green his face was at 3 am.
There is also a secondary pinhole camera for videophone transmission.The Nokia 95 provides mini-HDTV resolution and clarity during playback on MPEG-4 format. It's really hard to believe that it's actually' being generated by a phone. While on the subject of the phone (yes, it's easy to forget that there are telephone features here too), the quality of the voice calls is astounding. You might think your mates were right in the room. Surprisingly, the sound quality of the music playback on both FM and MP3 doesn't quite measure up to the phone. Regardless, dump the earbuds that come with the N95 and invest in a top quality set. Everything will sound much better.
As to whether the Nokia N95 can capture a strong share of its market segment in direct competition with the iPhone which should eventually retail at less than half the price is going to be difficult to say. It has a stonking great feature set, implemented with the usual Nokia panache, all wrapped up in a tidy package that is going to have people swiveling their heads like Linda Blair in the Exorcist to have a gander, especially when they see the Google Earth-like GPS animation swoop down from space and right down to your pub. Is it the ultimate phone of the mobile/PDA wave or does it have the chops to surf the iPhone wave? The punters will have to make that determination when they vote with their debit cards at the local shops.
