So How's The New Phone?

My new, shiny Nokia N80 from Orange

"Oh, you've got a new phone, Al?"

Well, can't describe it any other way than fantastic. Sure, the battery life is annoying, it only seemed to last 12-14 hours at first. But once you've worked out how to switch off all the countless "standby" modes (why they're not defaulted to off I don't know), the battery lasts just about 2 days. And I'm sure once I've cycled it a few more times it'll be up to 3 days.

A fully functional office application, allowing you to look at all the MS Office apps. A PDF viewer, Opera browser, ooodles of memory. Email, infrared, Bluetooth, WLAN, and built-in radio too. 3 megapixel camera, with exposure control, flash, image editing. Some of the pics from last week are amazing. Will have to add to the posts when I'm at home long enough

All in all a brilliant package. And the fact it was free helps too

Some interesting reads on the Nokia Discussion Forums about the N80 and it's problems. A good source for hints and tips on how to get the most from it too
