Beware that this is lengthy! I figure that if you consider spending several hundred dollars on a phone, the more information the better. :)
The first thing to get straight about this phone is that it is not about form, but function. It is not the slimmest or sexiest phone out there, nor does it have the most awe-inspiring user interface compared to the likes of the iPhone. On the other hand, it has every capability that you will find on any phone ...

This is almost an irrational comparison, given how different these devices are:
* The iPhone is almost entirely about "sex appeal": Polished, slim, with a large screen for viewing content, multi-touch user interface (we've all seen how to zoom in and out using finger pinches, do inertial scrolling through a list of contacts, etc). As such, it is very big on "usability". The N95 is not even a touch-screen device. (Personally I actually prefer "hard" ... ...MING in the past. Touch screens are not very good for, for example, dialing a number without looking at the screen).
* The iPhone feature set is, at best, mediocre. Yes, it has WiFi - so does about a hundred other phones. Yes, it has a "WYSIWYG" web browser; again, so do so many others. ...

Advantages: great multimedia device Disadvantages: heavy and a bit expensive
...when we talk about the Nokia N81 8GB. But about this product some things are still not so satisfactory.The weight is too high; the N81 8GB is even heavier than its big brother, the N95. The camera inside the N81 is unfortunately only a 2 Megapixel digital camera. HSDPA is lacking which makes mobile internet kind of slow. You can hardly tell one numeric key from the other, which makes writing a text message very difficult with the N81 8GB. And that ...

Advantages: 2.4 Inch QVGA 16 Million Colour Screen Disadvantages: none
The Nokia N81 is a very powerful multimedia device, which is somewhat like the Nokia N95 to Little Brother. Available in a choice of cobalt blue or gray Graphite is really well designed slide phone, robust and heavier than the N95, but a little thin. The first thing that hits you on the N81 is a large number of keys and buttons! In addition to the usual number of buttons and scroll wheel, there are dedicated buttons for playing games and accessing ... ...You either love or hate him. We've found that all the user interface is built on the idea of complexity, such as menus and settings can be quite overwhelming, but offers full control over all aspects of this facility. The N81 is a very hard-core smartphone, and if it looks like your phone, then you'll love to bits. ...
