Nokia N80 Internet Edition Unlocked Cell Phone with 3.2 MP Camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, MP3/Video Player, Mini

Nokia's N80 is one of the company's new breed of high-end media handsets, and is one of the first such devices to use the new 3rd edition of Nokia's S60 user interface. This is significant because S60 3rd edition is both far faster and attractive than prior versions, making the N80 a pleasure to use.

The Nokia N80 features a a very clean and attractive slider design.

The N80 comes in a very clean and attractive slider design. When closed, the numeric keypad is hidden within its 4.8oz, 3.8" x 2" x 1" body. The 5-way directional pad controller, a pair of softkeys, a pair of editing keys, and the normal red and green call buttons are still accessible. In terms of feel and usability, the N80's d-pad controller takes some getting use to, but the rest of the buttons and keys are all fine.

When it comes to connectivity, Nokia's N80 has it in spades. It will work on any of the 4 GSM bands found throughout the world, and even supports 3G WCDMA networks as well - where available. But there is more to it than that. For example, the N80 supports the new enhanced GPRS system called EDGE that is available here in the US and other places, and it also supports 802.11g WiFi data for connecting to a network at high speeds when at home, the office, or a local coffee house. It is even capable of SIP compliant Voice Over IP (VOIP) service, when configured to work with a compatible provider. But that's still not all, as the N80 supports Bluetooth v1.2 and infrared wireless connections as well.
