Nokia N80 Review - Nokia N80 is a 3G smartphone, providing benefits to its users from a wide range of advanced software to excellent functionality and wireless connectivity. Testing has shown that the phone is somewhat slow in booting up and also in operation, however.

The N80 is a sliding phone like Nokia 6280 or Nokia 6111. It has been noticed that the phone slides open by itself when carried in a bag or in your pocket, which is highly undesirable. It measures 95 x 50 x 26 mm and weighs 134 g, making it one of the lightest smartphone handsets around It is a quad band plus 3G phone supporting GSM - 850 MHz, 900 MHz, and 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz and 3G WCDMA 1900 or 2100 MHz frequency bands.

Nokia N80 has one of the best LCD displays, with a resolution of 352 x 416 pixels and boasting 262,144 colours. The 3 mega-pixel camera in the phone takes good pictures and has a 20x digital zoom and flash. However, the quality of photographs is no where near to the ones taken by Nokia N90. The phone has an advanced music player, which allows you to pick your favourite music track from a displayed play list. The audio quality of Nokia n80 is considered to be very good and the package includes a stereo headset. The phone comes with a 128 MB memory card, which is enough a storage space for your music files. It plays, MP3, AAC, m4a, eAAC+ and WMA format music tracks.

The battery has a talk time of 3 hours, with 8 days as stand-by. In actual experience it has been found that it is not worth expecting one or two days use from this phone and as such, any extensive use of music and smartphone features will be rather disappointing. The phone has all the basic features as desired in a mobile handset, such as, Voice recording, dialing and voice commands, MP3 ring-tones, Java applications, SMS, MMS, email, etc.

The other notable feature is the stereo FM radio with support for Visual Radio. In addition to Infrared and Bluetooth, the phone supports a wireless LAN, EDGE, EGPRS and a USB 2.0 mass storage. Nokia N80 has a document viewer for Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

A multi-media rich phone, the Nokia N80 is the most highly anticipated phone from Nokia. It is also the one phone that fails to live up to the expectation that one has out of such a smartphone. But as per the Nokia specifications, it is the highest function packed smartphone ever released and that may be the cause for the disappointment.

Nokia E61 Review - There are four mobile phones in Nokia E series and the Nokia E61 has made the most stir amongst the users. It is the one which looks like the Black Berry. The phone has a matte gray finish with 2.8 inch landscape display, having a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, with user adjustable brightness and also an ambient light sensor which works well. Though the keyboard looks very large, lit by a pleasant white backlight, the advantage is that the key buttons are large enough for easier use compared to any other phone. A LED, sitting right on the top of the phone, acts as an email alert. You can set up the phone to check your emails at preset intervals.The Nokia E61 handset is large, measuring 117 x 69.7 x 14mm and weighing 144g, with most of its weight lying at the top. Then again it sits well in your hand. You might want a second lighter mobile phone when you are travelling. The phone has a hands-free speaker, which is quite loud and clear. It also has a large navigational array, with easily distinguishable buttons. Nokia E61 does not have a camera, but is able to receive video calls over 3G, though it is not a 3G phone.

As far as WAN is concerned, Nokia E61 is a quad-band handset, operating on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 MHz frequency bands. It supports GPRS, EDGE, SMS, infrared, and has a range of applications, such as, Java MIDP 2.0, voice commands, a voice recorder, Loud Speaker. A spacious volume rocker is found on the left side of the phone.

The phone does not support Memory Stick Duo format or any other method of memory expansion, which restricts music file storage and updating of such files. The audio quality of the phone is crystal clear as also the signal reception and transmission. It has a removable 1500 mAh Li-ion battery, having 7 hours talk time or 260 hours standby, considered to be quite low looking at the battery's theoretical capacity.

Nokia E61 has a web browser that traverses full-size web pages. It also has an office suite, which allows viewing, editing of Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents. The handset comes with a very decent music player and a SIP based VoIP client. A hot-swap miniSD card slot, although inconveniently placed, comes in handy to store your music files along with the available 64MB internal memory.
