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.

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.

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.

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.

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?? '

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?

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

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

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.

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...

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

When are T-Mobile going to get their act together!
6:58 am - Saturday, July 1, 2006
#118 Tom
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

#119 Raj
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

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.
9:20 am - Monday, July 24, 2006
#129 Tom
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. 
8:48 pm - Wednesday, July 26, 2006
#130 princess_rockchick
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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
