    Nokia N81 8GB

    Frazier Barretto, Dec 21, 2007 1733 hrs IST

    Here's the reincarnated Ngage/QD. Will it match upto the expectations of mobile game enthusiasts?

    ARM 11 369 MHz Processor, Sound Quality, 8GB internal memory, Gaming Keys, 3G, Video recording VGA @ 15 fps.

    Poor Build, Poor Battery, Bulky, 2 MP camera, No Card Slot, Expensive, Doesn't do justice to the N-Gage phone.

Nokia has finally addressed the demand for a new N-Gage/N-Gage QD by the fans of these late gaming handsets from Nokia. The 2 were true gaming devices back then and had they been developed further, could have easily given the PSP and Nintendo a run for their money.

Now Nokia seeks to reincarnate the N-Gage platform starting with the N81. So has Nokia really revived the N-Gage platform with the new handset? Let's look at the details ahead. Bundle

Nokia N81 8GB Handset Stereo Handsfree with Remote USB Cable Charger Software CD Manual & Quick Start Guide Specifications Network: UMTS / GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 Dimensions: 102x50x7.9mm Screen Size: 240x320 pixels, 2.8-inches Screen Type: TFT, 16M colors Weight: 140 grams Battery: Li-Po 1050 mAh (BT-6MT) Operating System: Symbian OS 9.2 Series 60 v3.1 UI Processor: ARM 11 369 MHz Processor SDRAM: 96 MB Internal Memory: 8 GB

nokia is overrated and literally plays with the customers mindset since they are nokia they can launch any shit and get away with it looking at this handset u feel they have seriously crippled a amazing handset why do they fcukaround with the Ngage platform is really beyond me , they can become the leaders in the field but decide to play smart and fall on their face everytime

Any chances of Nokia launching a plain vanilla Ngage fone for less than 10k? I mean to say a fone with reduced features?

its a real shit phone, the navi-wheel is decent but limited only to gallery and music player... go for n73 with a 3.2mp cam instead. much better functionality, cheaper cost.

ITS time u should start reading before writing the comments sweety.The N81 has a poor Li-Po 1050 mAh battery. The battery can barely last for a day. The battery low warnings wouldn't stop until plugged for charging. Poor battery life for a powerful phone, and even more disappointing for a gaming device.

Undoubtedly Nokia is the Best, Symbian OS, Rough and Tough, Best Resale Value, Good Battery Backup etc.

Sony Ericsson is the best! I have been a Nokia user for long and now regret all those futile years! There aint no phone like the W880i. This N Series is all marketing hoopla!

hey Frazier,when you say " I used a pair of headphones lying around to check the quality of the N81 which didn't disappoint" you should have mentioned what headphones u were using.I was expecting EP 630 with N81 u would compare with SE walkmans since SE sound good mainly due to good headphones.also are u sure screen is 2.8 inch and not 2.4 inch?
