The N81 8GB is a great all-rounder but suffers in comparison with the new Nokia N95 8GB.
The N81 8GB is a tremendous phone for listening to and storing music, for playing N-Gage games and for enjoying multimedia applications.
A two-megapixel camera is disappointing, as is the creaky black plastic casing.
