Nokia N81

Nokia N81 is another multimedia computer from Nokia, this time with a gaming console flavor, that comes packed with a stack of new features to boast music, imaging and gaming credentials. There are 2 flavors of this device, one has a 2Gb card included in the sales package and the other has 8Gb onboard memory.

Gaming wise, the phone is able to use the new N-Gage offering from Nokia as part of its OVI internet offering. Games can be played either vertical or in landscape mode, allowing users to benefit from the 2.4-inch screen and in our play it was bright, crisp and clear. Nokia N81 GoPlay is clearly aimed at the young and hi-tech demanding user, making it easy to have games in your pocket and challenge other players.

Tech-talks

On the music side the phone comes with 2GB memory card, stereo Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphones jack and the ability to access the newly launched Nokia Music Store via the OVI Internet interface.

On the imaging side, Nokia has disappointingly settled for a 2 megapixel camera rather than 3 megapixels as found in the 5610 XpressMusic or 5 megapixels as found in the N95, although has included a Xenon flash to boost performance.
