Nokia N81 is 'Sweet Agony'

Camera is the biggest disappointment that you have to face dealing with Nokia N81 8G – something more likely to be found with cheaper models,
The communications quality is in keeping with the modern high standards, there are no problems on this front.
This is due to the fact that N81 is considerably limited as per the files it can play and videos with a greater bit rate are obviously a problem for this phone.

A disappointment however for this phone is the camera.

We found the keypad on the N81 to be small with poor tactile feedback, poor differentiation between keys and very prone to errors.
