3 Megapixel Nokia N80 Cameraphone Announced

Nokia Press Release

Nokia Nseries enters the digital home with Nokia N80 - Optimized for both work and play, the small WLAN-enabled Nokia N80 is the world’s first UPnP handset

Nokia Mobility Conference 2005, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo, Finland - Nokia today introduced the Nokia N80, the first ever handset to enable seamless home media networking between compatible TVs, audio systems and PCs. The Nokia N80 reflects and harmonizes work and personal life through leading on-the-go productivity tools, multimedia entertainment and mobile photography in a design that communicates success. Weighing only 134 grams, the compact yet feature-rich 3G multimedia device is packed with performance, providing fast internet access and convenient intuitive browsing as well as the possibility to send and receive emails at Wireless LAN (WLAN) speeds.

“A multimedia computer that genuinely enriches people’s lives with connected, mobile multimedia experiences, the Nokia N80 is the size of a stack of business cards,” said Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Multimedia, Nokia. “The technological leadership of Nokia Nseries comes together in the Nokia N80, offering people a new, unparalleled experience of enjoying media in the living room by just using the Nokia N80. Comprising the functionality of a highly advanced multimedia computer, the Nokia N80 empowers people to pursue professional goals and personal passions with equal fervor.”

Multimedia connectivity in the Digital Home
With simple to use yet advanced UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) technology*, the pioneering Nokia N80 can be used to tap into the digital home network, acting almost as a remote control, enabling secure and convenient access to compatible PCs, audio equipment and TVs.** Consequently, images and video stored on the Nokia N80 or a compatible PC can be viewed wirelessly on the living room TV, while listening to music stored on the device through the living room audio system. Printing is now faster too, as Nokia N80 users can print wirelessly to any compatible UPnP-enabled home printer or printing kiosk.

Advanced, high speed internet in your pocket
Nokia N80 is the first quadband handset designed to work on 3G (WCDMA 1900 or 2100), WLAN, EDGE and four GSM bands (850/900/1800/1900), enabling broadband access from virtually anywhere on the planet. Incorporating the latest productivity functions in addition to 3G and EDGE data connectivity, people can use the Nokia N80 at more than 136,000*** public WLAN hotspots around the world to access the internet and send large emails or upload high quality images to an online service. Additionally, the Nokia N80 supports the new Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, featuring a semi-transparent zoomed-out overall view of the web page, enabling users to intuitively navigate to all corners as well as see the web site as it was originally designed. With the experience further heightened by the device’s superior high definition display (352 x 416 pixels, up to 262,144 colors), which incorporates 90% more pixels than QVGA displays commonly found on smartphones and PDAs, the Nokia N80 also incorporates MPEG4 AVC decoding support for high quality video streaming.

High quality photos and videos in just a snap
With great ergonomics for image capture, the Nokia N80 is also an excellent mobile photography device for capturing, collecting and sharing moments and memories. In addition to incorporating a 3 megapixel camera with capture key for fast and stable camera activation, full-screen landscape capture utilizing the entire available high definition display, and a dedicated close-up mode switch, the Nokia N80 also features CIF video capture with inbuilt video stabilization. Moreover, the Nokia N80 incorporates large internal memory of up to 40 MB, which can be further expanded with a hot swap miniSD card of up to 2 GB, allowing users to store up to 1000 high quality images on the device.

Your choice of music on the go
Supporting a wide range of digital music formats, the Nokia N80 boasts a digital music player as well as stereo FM radio and support for Visual Radio****, which provides listeners with a richly interactive information channel, including information on the song and artist currently playing. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated UPnP technology, transferring music between the Nokia N80 and a compatible PC is easier than ever. Alternatively, users can transfer their favorite music via USB 2.0 by simply dragging and dropping from a compatible PC onto the device. As a result of its powerful music features, the Nokia N80 qualifies as a part of the Nokia XpressMusic device range. The XpressMusic feature brand makes it easy for consumers to identify Nokia products that provide a superior mobile music experience.

The Nokia N80, which is based on S60 3rd Edition and Symbian OS, is planned to be commercially available in the first quarter of 2006 with an estimated, unsubsidized sales price of approximately 500 euros.

*UPnP technology, a standard required for an interoperable network in the digital home, enables automatic discovery and remote control of devices, including networked devices and services, such as network-attached PCs and printers, internet gateways, and consumer electronics equipment. UPnP is independent of any particular operating system, programming language, or physical medium (e.g. it can be deployed on top of any IP bearer - WLAN, Ethernet cable, etc).

**Current TVs and stereo systems can be Digital Home enabled with a media link device.

    I just tried to construct a scale model of a cat out of matches and I was wondering how close I could possition it to my electric fire before it catches fire, can anyone help? I estimate 20cm but im not sure

    harold shipman at 09:23pm on Thursday, April 13, 2006

20. Can anyone tell me when this will be available on orange in the UK. iv checked their site but as of today they have no information? also i am currently using tomtom mobile v5.20 on my nokia 7610 but would this work on the n80 as its a series 60v3 and has the higher res screen that caused problems for versions v5.0 and lower like on the n70?
    Any information would be helpful thanks
    Angel

    micro angel at 09:28pm on Thursday, April 13, 2006

21. I've too been waiting for the arrival of the Nokia N80, but have since discovered that the mentioned 'cat-of-matches' does in-fact ignite at slightly more than 20cm from a standard bar heater. It may have been the slight over use of glue, or the fact it had a very hairy tail.
    
    Hope this helps.

    Prince Harry at 10:49pm on Thursday, April 13, 2006

22. no wont be on flext 35 that is a band d tarriff i work for phones 4 u it will be free on 3 vt n t 1100 flext 50

    newall at 10:36pm on Monday, April 17, 2006

    rahulpatel at 12:52pm on Sunday, April 23, 2006

32. I can confirm that the Nokia N80 is being released exclusively to Vodafone and will be available at the beginning of May 2006 in Phones4u stores in limited numbers.
    
    The main tariff it will be available on will be a new £40 per month tariff giving 500mins and 250texts. The handset will cost £50 on this tariff and will not be discounted to free.
    
    Visit your local Phones4u store at the beginning of May to see this handset, the new Sony Ericsson W810i and the Benq Siemens EF81 exclusive to Phones4u.

33. thats wrong the w810i is availible now in carphone warehouse and is not exclusive to p4u the n80 is 3g handset and 3 have the first rights to it 3 concessions will have it 2 weeks b4 p4u i work for p4u and have spoke to the 3 rep

    craig at 07:38am on Tuesday, April 25, 2006

34. Craig, I didn't say the W810i was exclusive to P4U.
    
    The N80 is a 3G handset but it will be initially exclusive to Vodafone then O2 will have it on their network, I doubt T-mobile will even support the handset this quarter. The Network "3" will not have the first rights to this handset simply because it is a UMTS handset.
    
    The Exclusive handset to P4U is the Benq-Siemens EF81 which is a slim 3G Razr style handset with quite an amazing screen and a brushed metal case. This will be available on 3.

    CSJ Phones4u at 08:16pm on Tuesday, April 25, 2006

35. Wow!! I finally have the N80 in my hands since it was just released. Of course, the year is 2414 and I am using the trans-temporal internet browser to post here over 400 years in the past!! You have no idea how long THIS feature delayed the release of the N80. Now that I have it, I can't wait for the N93 to come out. I am already putting aside the funds so that my great great great grandchildren can buy one.

    Freddy Gurges at 06:17am on Wednesday, April 26, 2006

36. Hi, just wondering when the N80 will be available on O2. I have ordered it but their rep didnt know when it was coming?

    Mike at 03:17pm on Thursday, April 27, 2006

37. Right people, I have spent extensive time on the phone to 02 talking solely about this phone. The Nokia N80 WILL be released on the O2 network on the 15th May, and that is official!!

    Craig at 02:27pm on Friday, April 28, 2006

38. I have also been on the phone to 02 and they have also advised that this phone will be available on 15 May.

    Vijay at 03:01pm on Friday, April 28, 2006

39. Orange says this will be out 15th May '06.

    keith at 03:05pm on Friday, April 28, 2006

40. I forgot to mention that I bought a 1GB miniSD card for this device (even though I've not even got it yet) for a bargain price of £25 of ebay. The item was from Hong Kong but arrived within just over a week.

    Vijay at 03:12pm on Friday, April 28, 2006

41. the nokia n80 is avilable in Black and silver...

    newall at 08:35pm on Monday, May 01, 2006

47. Phones4u POS show "3 Megapixel Videophone". The long window POS shows no network logo and the in store A3 POS which is on the reverse of the W810i POS shows the Vodafone logo with "500mins and 250texts".
    
    The 6280 is on 3 as is the Benq EF81.
    
    What is the 3 digit store code for Bolton and your full name Newall?
    
    >CSJ

    CSJ P4U at 10:11pm on Wednesday, May 03, 2006

48. yes the sign in the window that is facing inwards, until instucted to turn it round has no network logo to be honest i have not looked on the back of the w810i pos.
    all the info we have had is that we are getting n80 in store the back end of next week on the t/h display the n80 is listed on every network exept t-mo i think, going off wot the 3 concession in superdrug told me it will be on 3 next week and my sfc informed me the same but noone can be certain until we get it instore.
    if u want the store go on mis contacts bolton store

    Craig Newall at 11:02pm on Wednesday, May 03, 2006

51. For those of you monitoring the release of the Nokia N80. I noticed that the e2save website has advertised it on 02 for a limited number. I have checked again today with 02 for the release date any they are still looking at 15 May 06.

    Vijay at 01:24pm on Monday, May 08, 2006

    Tas at 07:29pm on Friday, May 12, 2006

54. Craig,
    
    The N80 came in on the delivery today (Sat 13th) and they were all on Vodafone as expected.
    
    All sold out within an hour.
    
    It will be out 15th May on o2, P4U stores may not get stock of this the same day however.
    
    Did you get a chance to look at the handset? What do you think? I didn't love the slide not being sprung loaded, apart from that, I didn't see it long enough to make a proper judgement!!!
    
    Gutted about the EF81 delays!
    
    Lets hope the EF81 goes on sale soon as well as the N80 on all the networks, the N91, E61 and D800 pink soon too!

    craig newall at 07:41am on Sunday, May 14, 2006

56. Hi
    
    I really want to upgrade to the N80 on Tmobile. T mobile wont support it but in p4u on sat they told me that by the end of the week generic gsm handsets will be available so then they can do it, Carphonewarehouse will be a couple of weeks behind and the link didnt know what I was talking about. Can anyone shed anymore light?
    
    Cheers

    Barbie at 04:38pm on Sunday, May 14, 2006

57. Barbie,
    
    P4U will probably not have the GSM handsets in stock anytime soon, they will be locked to Vodafone or O2.
    
    We have had the N70 for nearly a year and have not had ONE GSM handset, they have been locked to each network. I expect this will be the case with the N80.
    
    Even IF the Generic GSM handsets were available, the P4U Tills will not allow the handset being sold on any T-mobile Tariff if it has not been supported by the network.
    An example of this is the much awaited Sony Ericsson W810i, P4U have the unlocked GSM handsets but cannot sell the phones on any network except Vodafone or O2.
    
    It will be a long wait for the N80 on T-mobile, especially on an upgrade unfortunately.
    
    >CSJ Phones4u

    Chandan at 07:59pm on Sunday, May 14, 2006

58. As you maybe aware that this phone was suppose to be released today. I'd phone 02 this morning and they said that the date has been put back to 5 June 06. I'd also called a few 02 stores, and they have all said that we don't have a release date but there expecting them in, in the next few weeks.
    
    It looks like were going to be waiting for a bit longer.

    Vijay at 11:49am on Monday, May 15, 2006

59. THE N80 IS AVAILABLE ON TMOB

60. I'VE ORDERED MINE ON ORANGE! Should arrive tomorrow, FINALLY! It's available on their website for new users only, but if you're an existing customer you can phone them on 150 and they will upgrade you. I had to pay £49.99 for the upgrade (cheap at the price) from my horrible Samsung D500. So keen!

    keith at 09:53am on Wednesday, May 17, 2006

61. update >> this phone is all kinds of awesome

    keith at 10:10am on Thursday, May 18, 2006

    Barbie at 01:53pm on Thursday, May 18, 2006

63. i can confirm that orange is doing the n80. when I rang them they wanted either 39 pound and a 12 month contract, or I could have the handset free if I chose the 18 month contract. hope this info helps others
    andy. (the talk plan was called something stupid like canary or dog or something)

    andrew moore at 11:29pm on Thursday, May 18, 2006

64. hello?,,,, hello? hmm, they cant hear me!, ah well il try again tomorrow, hello? it just clicked there and I heard a voice, hello? hello, oh forget it . click.

    phil and mary at 11:32pm on Thursday, May 18, 2006

65. i have just been using the N80 in the car and i was reaching down to get a carton of juice out of the glovebox, only took a few seconds, but. i sort of moved from my lane into the other lane and when i noticed i paniced and over compensated with the wheel, i have now mounted the kerb and hit a road sign. I cant start my car and i think a man in a red shirt phoned the police, i can see him looking out of his window now. Can someone quickly tell me what to tell the police when they get here? and please be quick i dont have much time.

    audrey crackett at 11:38pm on Thursday, May 18, 2006

66. Audrey Crackett - Are you sure its a red shirt or could it have been a white shirt but now it has blood all over it?..
    
    
    1) Tell the police you was dazed by the sun..
    2) A baby rabbit was crossing the road and you had to steer away..

    VJ_UK at 11:27am on Friday, May 19, 2006

67. well its an obviouse answer,the nokia n80 is so advanced that it put you in a trance whilst trying to gain control of the car but,luckily for you you managed to regain control of yourself and battled with the phone for control of the steering wheel,hence crashing into the signpost.thank goodness the phone is also advanced enough to know when its in the wrong, otherwise there could be red tshirts everywhere.

    pinkting at 04:06pm on Saturday, May 20, 2006

68. Right I too have been phoning up o2 for the release dates of the N80. My upgrade was available from March 23rd so I have been waiting all this time. At that point they told me 1st of May. So I waited, 1st of May comes and then its the 15th. I thought 'if ive waited this long whats another 2 weeks'. Phone on the 15th, they say 22nd. Whats another week eh? Phone on the 22nd (yesterday), they say computers down but they have the 22nd of June!!! So I phone back today thinking this can't be right, and they have assured me it will be released in 'the next two days' and that 'it's on the system but not available to sell'. I guess ill be phoning all day tomorrow then

    Deano at 01:17pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

69. Are you sure thats correct Deano?
    
    I just got your message so thought I'd ring to be on the safe side. I was told again that the release date is 5 June. They've actually put me on the reserve list this time round for when it does come available.

    Vijay at 01:30pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

70. I rang just under an hour ago and that was exactly what i was told. I wasn't told anything about a reserve list. But I'm not calling back cause their system was so slow! They said it was down yesterday evening. I might try and call them back before they close to see whats going on again.

    Deano at 01:34pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

71. I have now been told that o2 are quoting £129 for the n80 and they are taking in small shipments of them in the lead up to the official june 5th release date.
    2 things:
    
    1) Will the 'im changing networks' excuse get o2 to offer the phone for free? (If not what will?)
    
    2) Ive heard wifi on the orange n80s does not let you connect to your home connection. Any news on the o2 ones?

    Deano at 01:52pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

72. I've already made a few enquiries about my upgrade and they've offered me half price line rental for 12 mths (I'm on 02 Leisure time plus). But not sure what they will offer when N80 comes out. It depends on who you speak to, some of them offer you a good deal and some are not bothered.
    
    I’ve been monitoring another forum and found that person did have a problem with his Orange N80 connecting to his home Wi-Fi but he managed to resolve it. Therefore I cant see it been a problem apart understanding how to do it and setting it up.

    Vijay at 02:03pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

73. For those of you thinking of using N80 as a GPS via TomTom
    
    Does TomTom work on TomTom Mobile 5?
    
    TomTom Support Team - "At present this is not the case, the Nokia N80 is not currently supported by our software. We can not provide a specific date/timeframe as to when this may change and can only recommend that you continue to check our website on a regular basis for updates relating to this matter"

    Vijay at 04:28pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

74. ok,so ive jst spoken to o2 about the fact that they might be charging £129 for n80 and yes its true,so i obviously went for the angle of "well orange will give me the fone today for £50 with my same current tarrif i have with o2 (online 200).they said they cant reduce handset price but will charge me £20 pm for the whole 12 months instead of £30 pm,basically the handset will only cost me a £10er doing it this way,so yes haggeling works,
    hooray......................

    pinkting at 05:01pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

75. Ive had mine from CFW on o2 since 3rd May, I have connected it to my wireless home connection and it works great, but faster to use PC than surf with it. The camera is outstanding with most features found on a normal digital one. bit wide on the dimensions side but you get used to it. Ive got Tomtom mobile and can confirm it definatley doesnt work on it (YET apparently) all in all its great little phone and I bought a 2GB card on ebay (£40) and music is cool on it and for the size of the speaker it kicks out a good loud sound. you get a 128 standard with it. I also paid £129 and they wouldnt shift on that price even though they quoted my £240 to start with. Im happy

    Tony at 06:51pm on Tuesday, May 23, 2006

76. Hi there i have been in touch o2 UK and they recon that they will not have them in until June the 5th!! Who have you guys spoken to at o2???

    jamie watson at 08:57pm on Thursday, May 25, 2006

77. Jamie - You can get the phone on 02 via Carphonewarehouse but they then handle the billing and everything, don’t know much about it. 02 themselves like you said will have the phone available on 5 June. I've managed to prebook mine.. but not sure on how much it going to cost. There a few ppl on here speculate that it will be £129. Hope this helps.

    Vijay at 10:24pm on Thursday, May 25, 2006

78. Just phoned o2, to see if there was any chance of getting pre-stock. I found out that the release date has been moved back AGAIN to June 15th!!!!!!

    Deano at 12:52pm on Tuesday, May 30, 2006

79. Your joking!
    
    What are they playing at!?
    
    So far Vodaphone and Orange have already released the phone on there network..
    
    I’m afraid to call them now cos I’d been phoning every week to see what the status was on the phone since April. I bet my call history with them will be quite big.

    Vijay at 01:03pm on Tuesday, May 30, 2006

80. Deano,
    
    I've told the date has been put back from 5 June to 12 June (delay of one week)

    Vijay at 01:39pm on Tuesday, May 30, 2006

81. You know what, i dont even think they know when its going to be released themselves. Theyve been telling different stories to different people. Ive also been told by one o2 customer service advisor that there is a reserve list that ive been put on. When i phoned up next time the guy said there was no such thing and o2 cannot do that for phones they dont have!? I seriously think itll be the end of June before we see this phone on o2.

    Deano at 03:55pm on Tuesday, May 30, 2006

82. I have just spoken to o2 who advised me the phone will be released to customers on the 15.06.06 at a cost of £60 (Well that was the cost for myself, and i pay around £30 a month)

    Christ at 01:01pm on Thursday, June 01, 2006

83. I really wish that was true. Im sure its not though. Ive been 'advised' wrongly so many times, if I got £1 every time they were wrong i'd be a millionaire. The price theyve given you they must have just guessed. Because as i've been told 100 times, they dont have the phone yet, so it's not on their system, so they dont have details.... I'll still be calling on the 15th though Its a nice phone.

    Deano at 05:05pm on Thursday, June 01, 2006

84. N80 - Available at Carphone Warehouse, P4U and Orange shops today. Deals as confusing as ever make it virtually impossible to work out which is best. Evryone offers a deal about £40-£45 month line rental and phone free. Can't find better on the web yet which seems odd since they don't have to rent the shop etc... will keep looking.

    Hanco at 07:13pm on Sunday, June 04, 2006

85. Why does it seem that the USA is always so behind in these sorts of matters. I mean I wanted this phone and had to go through some strange hurdles to get it but it still has not arrived at my door. If anyone in the UK is looking for a deal on the N80 just go to froogle and it will help. As far as the US people go....good luck. I'm not sharing my secret.

    David Smith at 04:20am on Sunday, June 11, 2006

86. HELL YEA! My nokia N80 is coming in 1-2 days!!! o2 just got them in stock, so run run!!! They wanted £229 for it, hope its worth it!!! They only got em in silver, but you can buy the black fascias on ebay.

    Deano at 10:50am on Monday, June 12, 2006

87. Dude!!! I spoke to them this morning, managed to get mine for 49 quid each!! As I was upgrading two of them!! They couldn't tell me when I would recieve them as she said they were on back order, but she did say it would be soon. I might call them later to check the progess!!

    Jamie Watson at 10:54am on Monday, June 12, 2006

88. Mine has been dispatched. The price doesn't matter that much to me. But I am only on the £19 a month contract. So thats probably why. I forgot to say they took £50 off so i got the phone for £179.00 and they reduced my contract cost to £11.00 so I'm not really paying that much.

    Deano at 11:07am on Monday, June 12, 2006

89. I called them back. They reduced my contract cost by £14 a month as they can't take any more then £50 off the quoted price of the phone for my tariff '£229'.
    And i've worked out how good a deal I have.
    
    They took off £50 so thats £179
    Then £14 off my tariff a month for 12 months totals to £168
    
    £229 - £50 - £168 = £11
    
    So technically i'm paying £11 for the phone :D and next year ill have a really cheap contract.
    
    02 only have silver n80's. Anyone know if the covers are changeable? Ebay has black covers for around a fiver but are they all good or not?

    Deano at 08:00pm on Monday, June 12, 2006

90. I would be interested in knowing when you actually recieve it!! They couldn't give me an ezact date for delivery this morning the girl said maybe upto 5 days. I phoned back this afternoon and spoke to someonelse and they said they are still waiting for stock and it maybe the 15 of JULY!!!! I hope not!!

    Jamie at 08:05pm on Monday, June 12, 2006

91. They told me I would be one of the first 50 to recieve them as part of my deal with them. They had 50 in today, thats why they were allowed to take orders. 02 dont do backup orders unless they have some stock. It was because I made up an orange deal i was going to move to and they fell for it.
    
    I am guaranteed delivery in 1-2 days. It has already been dispatched. Ill let you know when i get it. I just want to know about the changeable fascias.

    Deano at 08:13pm on Monday, June 12, 2006

92. Woo my delivery is tomorrow! Just tried my DHL code, and its with the carrier for delivery tomorrow am!!! :D

    Deano at 09:58pm on Monday, June 12, 2006

93. Hi Deano,
    
    How did you get the DHL code? I am hoping mine will arrive today too!!

    Jamie at 07:43am on Tuesday, June 13, 2006

94. I've got an O2 contract which expires any day, what is the best way to get a cheap deal on this phone on 02? What do I say to them etc?
    
    I have a £19.99 tariff at the moment but am willing to pay about £25-£30 a month. I don't want to have to pay a big price for the phone straight away because it might quickly go down to free.
    
    I didn't realise my contract expires so soon so I have to call in the next few days. Please help.

    Carrie at 11:43am on Tuesday, June 13, 2006

95. Its on the o2 website once you log in.
    Just tell them youll switch to orange because theyll offer you a better deal. And mention you wouldnt mind raising the price of your contract.

    Dean at 06:53pm on Tuesday, June 13, 2006

96. Damn it! Missed the delivery of the phone... i gotta go pick it up tomorrow from dhl place. Hope its worth it.

    Dean at 08:30pm on Tuesday, June 13, 2006

97. Ive got the phone and..... i gotta say.... IT IS AMAZING! Best phone ive ever seen. Everything works great.
    Just one question.. phone recognises and allows WLAN connection and it says it is active. But when I click on web, it still comes up with the 'connection needed to server needed, connect?' message and if I click yes, it comes up 'connecting via 02 gprs'. Does this mean Im paying 02 to connect?? I thought WLAN was free to use, this question sounds stupid to me... but what am I doing wrong??

    Deano at 02:54pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

98. OK so I called up 02 and I have got the phone for free and have a tariff of £25 a month, but it's for 18 months. The woman said that they don't allow 12 month contracts for the phone at all, is that true?
    
    I'm excited about getting the phone, bit worried though as I want to use the TomTom sat nav (which I'm going to buy in a few months) but it's not yet working.

    Carrie at 04:32pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

99. Well im on o2 and on a twelve month contract and got the phone today. So somethings up.

    Deano at 04:35pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

100. How much do you pay per month?

     Carrie at 04:37pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

101. £19 cheapest online contract.

     Deano at 04:53pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

102. If I call up when the phone is delivered can they change details over the phone?

     Carrie at 04:55pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

103. No, once you have agreed to an 18 month contract they wont cancel it. You should be certain you are willing to agree before ordering.

     Deano at 04:58pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

104. Hi,
     
     I’ve been with 02 for nearly 4 years now and each time I have to hustle for a good deal. I wanted an upgrade but thought I’d see how much I could blag if I phoned and enquired about a disconnection. I also mentioned that Orange were offering the phone for £50.
     
     I managed to change my tariff to 02 500 which is cross network any time and normal price is £35. They applied a 50% discount on the tariff so that I would only be paying £17.50 a month. A saving off £210!! (12 month contract)
     
     I’ve also been advised that they have a banding for each customer that is calculated on how much the phone bill comes to a month, mine is Band E. The banding is used to calculate the discount they can offer.
     
     I was happy with the tariff discount but unfortunately they could not reduce the phone price of £129. I signed up as I will still be saving some money, and for a change I can use the phone during the peak hours too..
     
     I also phone a local 02 store to ensure that I was getting the best deal and they said with a Band E I would be looking at an upgrade cost of £200. I highly recommend not visiting the stores and phoning them directly.
     
     As far a TomTom goes, hopefully they may release something soon. I’d bought a TomTom original GPS receiver of eBay for £80 and also a 1GB miniSD card for £25.
     
     I’ve been told that the phone will arrive in a couple of days. I’ve read some reviews and heard that the battery life isn’t brilliant, so I may buy an extra one with a desk top charger.
     
     VJ

     VJ at 05:00pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

105. There is still a 14 day period in which I can cancel, but I get £130 off the price of the phone so it's not too bad.

     Carrie at 05:00pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

106. I still need this answered :( 'Just one question.. phone recognises and allows WLAN connection and it says it is active. But when I click on web, it still comes up with the 'connection needed to server needed, connect?' message and if I click yes, it comes up 'connecting via 02 gprs'. Does this mean Im paying 02 to connect?? I thought WLAN was free to use, this question sounds stupid to me... but what am I doing wrong?? '

     Deano at 05:02pm on Wednesday, June 14, 2006

107. I have been using the phone for a while now. Few things found with it. Firstly just saying I do have the updated software, the o2 ones come with that. Many people are complaining about the low signal, this is fixed by simply going tools > settings > network and changing dual to gsm.
     
     The only problems I have found is the phone does freeze sometimes. And sometimes it slides open when you dont want it to. For instance when going to turn the phone off.
     
     Otherwise it is fantastic. It is a 10/10 phone and I wouldn't swap it for anything else on the market. The phone is so clever as well. It tells you who is calling you, everything can be voice activated, i say 'new message' a blank message screen opens. The movie creater is unbelievable too! You can take any of your videos or/and pictures and make them into a movie with a soundtrack, background style and captions. The camera is terrific and I cant find anything else wrong with the phone except the battery doesn't seem to be lasting that long. Although I only got it yesterday and so obviously ive been using it a lot.
     
     Still need my last question answered... and also I have a spare black case, do you think I should risk unscrewing and yanking the current covers off and void my warranty just to make it black?

     Deano at 05:11pm on Thursday, June 15, 2006

108. When I stated it tells you whos calling you, I meant IT ACTUALLY SAYS IT. Its like the same kinda voice as tomtom.

     Deano at 05:13pm on Thursday, June 15, 2006

109. all i can say is that my N80 better hurry up and arrive, its been 10 hours since i ordered it online, 100 quid for the phone and 19 quid a month contract for 18 months..
     ryan
     
     ps, what the hell is that guy on who is talking about match stick cat on fire? wtf

     ryan at 08:18am on Saturday, June 17, 2006

110. last fone i ordered from 02, i ordered it in the morn came the day after

     luc at 09:43pm on Sunday, June 18, 2006

111. Hey guys, I'm on an o2 contract, my 12 months should be up on the 9th of August, any ideas when i should ring them up and organize an upgrade to the N80? I really want this phone so much and I hope i can upgrade soon. Also, I'm paying £30 a month line rental (plus £9 200 text bolt-on - totalling to £39) and my bill is usually at least £60 - £70 a month, with that in mind, what sort of offer i might be able to wangle out of them. I've been with them for 5 years atleast, and I hope i can get something worthwhile. Anyways, someone give me some advice, and Deano, reading your posts gave me the impression that you are just like me, a big kid at heart :D

     Tom at 11:36pm on Sunday, June 18, 2006

112. Would Nokia N80 be called F80 in USA (not to be confused with Nikon shooter), what next DSLR phone or perhaps DSLR with built in phone. When can we expect mobile phone with APS size sensor, and yes ability to make tea, manufacturesrs please pay attention.

     M Radman at 09:26am on Monday, June 19, 2006

113. hey...I bought this cell here in germany and I must say..Its amazing handset..worth the investment...!!

     Swapnali at 10:08am on Monday, June 19, 2006

114. hiya jus wna say dat d n80 luks boom. i am goin 2 get it soon but jus wondered if d n90 is better? can u plz let me no if d n90 is better

     FarhanaZeba at 11:05pm on Thursday, June 22, 2006

115. Check out http://www.esato.com/phones/index.php/phone=197,cp=187 for a comparison of the N90 and N80.
     
     In my opinion the N80 is much better. I'm biased though, as I have it and love it.
     
     One problem I am finding though is that the battery runs out VERY fast. I've had it for just over a week and have had to charge a few times already. I know I used it loads in the first two days so it's to be expected but it runs very low without being used.
     
     That status light is annoying also but the only way to switch it off is to switch off 'sleep mode' but that will probably run down the battery more...

     Carrie at 11:04am on Friday, June 23, 2006

116. Can the N80 use 2GB miniSD cards or is the maximum 1GB?

     Carrie at 11:06am on Friday, June 23, 2006

117. Been trying to get this on T-Mobile. They are not getting it... not now, not on there expected soon list, just can't get it anywhere. CW and P4U will not upgrade me either !
     
     When are T-Mobile going to get their act together!

     Raj at 06:58am on Saturday, July 01, 2006

118. Well Raj, maybe you've learnt your lesson and now understand why O2 is better, and that T-Mobile are rubbish, i mean even Orange have the N80 :S lol

     Tom at 06:47pm on Saturday, July 01, 2006

119. Hi,
     
     I'm still on getting this phone and will be hunting round for it on T-Mobile. Can any answer though does the phone have a keylock facility similar to the nokia 6230 where you have to enter a password to get in. I use this facility as I often leave my phone at my desk charging.
     
     Thanks
     Raj

     Not Sure.
     Yes.

     Tom at 05:50pm on Monday, July 10, 2006

125. When will the N80 nokia will be in the stores in Sydney Australia thanks

     GEORGE at 06:52am on Monday, July 17, 2006

126. Not sure mate. I just ordered mine on o2 UK here in England and its coming in 2 days. Shouldn't be long until you see it your side of the planet.

     Tom at 11:16pm on Saturday, July 22, 2006

127. Does anyone know if t-mobile will be getting the N80 on there network?
     If not are there any good offers on the networks it is on?

     the_hellish1 at 09:18am on Monday, July 24, 2006

128. Does anyone know when the n80 will be coming onto the t-mobile network?
     Are there any good offers on the other networks for new customers, if so which is best? I am after getting the nokia N80 in black.

     princess_rockchick at 09:20am on Monday, July 24, 2006

129. Mate, get the silver one. When I got a demo in the carphone warehouse, she had the pearl black model, but when I upgraded with o2, they gave me the standard silver. I prefer the silver one as more people recognise what phone it is, thus more people knowing that you have taste . Not sure if T-Mobile are gonna release it, but is available on o2, 3 and Orange respectively.

     Tom at 08:48pm on Wednesday, July 26, 2006

130. Well as far as i know the black model is not on many networks yet and i am not sure it will. I think you can only get it on vodaphone at the moment.
     I would like to get this phone in black as i think that looks better than the sliver model, but then again it has took it a long time to come out, but shows no sign of coming on the t-mobile network. So i may have to get this phone sim free and upgrade with t-mobile for a different phone.

     princess_rockchick at 01:31pm on Monday, August 07, 2006

131. wen will this fukin fone b out on t-mobile

135. can u use the nokia n80 in the philipines

     harry at 04:04am on Sunday, October 22, 2006

136. Got to admit that it is taking forever to launch on T-Mobile. Guess they're having software issues as usual.

     Nokia N80 at 07:35am on Tuesday, December 05, 2006

137. I have spoke to t-mobile about the n80 lauching on that network and i was told that they were still testing the phones so it could be a long while yet. I wanna be able to get it as an upgrade.

     princess_rockchick at 11:04am on Tuesday, December 05, 2006

138. does it cost you anything to connect your n80 to a WLAN connection.i have 4p left in my n80 and surely if it did they would have took that off as well as taking money off me when i next top up as ive been told.

     janie at 12:39pm on Friday, January 05, 2007

139. I like the idea of always having a camera (phone) with me at all times. It has more to do with the picture taker - rather than the equipment. I saw a website with some pictures taken with a cell phone and they were pretty good. I have a Nokia and the quality is good.

     tepin at 02:15pm on Friday, January 05, 2007

140. I hope the new phone has a decent lens.
     http://southfloridaphotography.biz
     I like the idea of having a camera with me at all time. i have a photography business and we can not always lug around a good dslr.
     Nokia is a quality product.

     tapin Walker at 02:36pm on Friday, January 05, 2007

141. Great phone, been using for 2 months now with no probs - they seem to be getting cheaper all the time! - Free on most tariffs now, see: http://www.phoneslimited.co.uk/Nokia/N80.html
     
     Cheers.

     Nokia N80 at 07:15pm on Sunday, March 25, 2007

142. I don't like camera phone or storage in phone or "minicomputer" in phone. My oppinion is that phones are for talking, pindrives are for storaging, computers are for computing and finaly cameras are for taking photographes. I agree that Nokia are ready to put some 3 megapixel CCD into the phone, but if I want to take pictures I'll take my EOS 300D and do it. You can find some good informations about cameras and cameraphones at Digital Cameras

143. How can I decode the Nokia N80 with orange network.

147. New Nokia N-Series phones work really great and pictues get more prominent when transfered to PC. I was really impressed with Sony ericson cybershop mobile camera as its pictures look great more than Nokia N-Series but when transfered to PC Nokia results were much mush better. Go for it.
