The dark one is much more beautiful

My really impression: just how little it is! As a result of its slide building, Nokia N80 is smaller sized than Nokia N70. When you check out both phones from abeam, N80 appears thicker than N70. Yet, according to the specs, both phones have the very same actions – 24 mm. Holding Nokia N80 in my hand, it really felt a bit much heavier than the leader, however maybe absolutely nothing greater than a subjective perception for N80 is just 4 grams much heavier than N70. .

It is smaller sized than N70 – well, at the very least when shut .

I have actually had the opportunity to analyze both variations of Nokia N80. The silver one looks like Nokia N70 as well as I myself located it rather monotonous. The display screen is bordered by a shiny structure. The remainder of the phone’s top component is made from matt silver plastic. The black variation is much more appealing. Its display screen is bordered by a black structure, with the remainder of the phone’s body being made from dark matt plastic, which corresponds the product made use of in the back side of Nokia N70. .

Solid construction

What a shock: there is no springtime to aid open up the phone, when the top component slides over the lower one. I anticipated to see something that would certainly appear like the back cover of Nokia N70 or at the very least a device of the kind made use of in Samsung’ phones. Absolutely nothing alike however. You should finger the entire means up the little course. 2 dead facilities protected with an interlock stop the display screen from relocating automatically. .

I have no statements in connection with the building. Despite the fact that the phones I checked were just models, the gliding device did disappoint any type of play. As I have actually obtained specific experience now nevertheless, I dare not affirm that the phone is not mosting likely to begin squeaking or wiggling after made use of for a couple of weeks. Actually, also a comprehensive testimonial will rarely address this inquiry. Time will certainly inform … .

Camera with macro mode

I seem like considering Nokia N70. The top best component is inhabited by the video camera lens, which offers the video clip calls. The top left edge includes a light sensing unit to regulate the backlighting. Listed below the display screen you will certainly locate a collection of practical switches, which aid to make use of the phone when shut. The collection is made up by the very same switches you recognize from N70 consisting of one brand-new customer secret. .

The sd card port lies on the left side of the gadget. It looks far better than the one in N70, however yet, it is once again safeguarded by a breakable plastic strip. The phone collaborates with cards of the miniSD style. The RS-MMC kind has actually come to be an issue of the past. On the best side of the phone you will certainly see the loud audio speaker port. An unique switch, which regulates the video camera features, is to be located a bit reduced on the very same side. It not just functions as a shutter launch switch, when images are taken flat, however additionally turns on the entire video camera setting. .

The video camera lens located on the back side of the phone is not protected by a cover. Beside it you will certainly see the LED flash, listed below it – a gliding controller, which switches over the video camera to macro setting. There is no question that the macro setting is an exceptionally helpful feature, particularly wanting the tragic close-up outcomes of some previous Nokia smart devices (besides the N90 version with autofocus). .

The video camera operates in a resolution of 3 megapixels, or much more specifically – 2048 × 1536 pixels. If you photo making use of a straight hand-hold, the images are absorbed landscape style. Although I handled to take a number of images with Nokia N80, I will certainly disappoint them in this write-up. Allow’s wait a couple of months till the last variation of the phone shows up formally. It currently appears that Nokia N80 will certainly deal with specific troubles usual for all fixed-focus video cameras. The safe bet is that the macro setting substantially boosts the outcome. .

On the leading plate of the phone you will certainly locate a round switch-off switch as well as the infrared port. The Pop-Port port, the jack for the brand-new little battery charger as well as the strip eye-let are all to be located at the end of the gadget. .

The just component that left a sensation of frustration in me was the keypad. It is established a lot also reduced. The key-press is also brief to my gusto also. What’s even worse, the entire block of secrets includes a superficial groove, which extends from number 1 to the asterisk, where it remains to the hash as well as approximately number 3. .

Brilliant display

In contrast to Nokia N70, one of the most crucial alterations related to the brand-new Nokia smart device appear to be connected primarily to its display screen. The last functions greater resolution of 352 × 416 pixels (similar to in the N90 version), that makes the image definitely magnificent. I risk state that the top-class high quality of the display screen will possibly be among the major factors to wait on the Nokia N80 to be released on the marketplace. As greater resolution is graphics-intensive, the responses of the phone appeared to me somewhat postponed. Nonetheless, I like to instead leave precise examinations for the minute, when I have the opportunity to examine the last firmware variation. .

Main display screen as well as major food selection .

The phone’s setting corresponds the one in Nokia N90. Yet it is rather various from the setting of various other S60 smart devices for Nokia N80 major food selection suits 12 things, as opposed to the typical 9 ones. I saw an uncommon spiral sign at the edges of a number of symbols, however I did not locate a gratifying explication of its objective. Regrettably, Nokia reps were unable to offer me with in-depth details, either. Amongst the phone applications you will certainly locate a brand-new songs gamer (or maybe simply a brand-new skin of the Songs application), a brand-new straight gallery. Cam’s setting has actually been boosted also. I handled to take a peek at the alarm – it is not repeatable, once again … .

Sample sights of the display screen: gallery • video camera • messages • creating text .

Of program it will certainly be expensive

Nokia N80 is a great smart device. It is little sufficient, has appealing layout (particularly the dark variation) as well as lots of functions. It is anticipated to strike the marketplace in March following year at the approximate rate of 570 euros.
