Nokia N80 3G Phone Review

Nokia N80 3G3G.co.uk have reviewed the Nokia N80, a 3G slider phone.

But things don’t start well for the N80 – the slider action is far from impressive. After the 6280’s fluid action, which rivalled Samsung’s best, the N80 feels too stiff and sticky, as if running on rusty rails. You will need to give it a fair nudge but it’s worth noting that our review sample was a prototype so any indiscretions might be temporary. Let’s hope the slider mechanism improves.

The N80 runs off Symbian Series 60 (S60) third edition OS, which proved incredibly temperamental, with slow transition between commands and pages. It’s best to test the N80 yourself, though, as in our experience, the S60 OS has never been this erratic and inconsistent, and the fact that our trial copy was a vanilla sample might explain its dodgy performance.

The N80 managed to get a rating of 90% at the end of the article thanks to its feature set, though they were not very impressed with the sliding of the phone.
