Review: The Sweet Agony That Is Nokia N81
http://gigaom.com/2007/11/09/nokia-n81/
QUOTING:
The device behaved like a 3-year-old throwing a tantrum. Unless this is an especially buggy device, N81 has to be one of the worst Nokia phones I have ever used and would be loathe to recommend it to anyone.
It is underpowered and the Symbian S60 OS behaves like Windows ME. Remember that piece of junk? Well this is worse. It takes more than 10 seconds to open a text message. Switching between applications is akin to me running - out of breath. One has to constantly reboot the phone to even make phone calls.
Sure the music playback quality was flawless and even at full volume didn’t distort a bit. The regular stereo-headset jack worked with all sorts of headphones - Bose, Nokia, Shure and Ultimate Ears. And the tunes were crystal clear.
However, getting the music app (or any app for that matter) to open was a torture test. It was frustrating enough for me to not even test any of the other features such as the video camera or Lifeblog or NGage gaming.
END OF QUOTING
Oh I do love a good Nokia bash. Die Nokia Die!
