Nokia N81 8GB



The Bottomline
This may arguably be the first Nokia phone I’m not happy with. Although I had a blast with the music player and watched many videos (that I personally converted) I was quite disappointed on the whole. While it's great to have 8GB of storage, it’s also a rather bulky device to be hauling around. Then there’s the bad key placement, and the new touch-sensitive navi-wheel is not quite up to the mark.

At its price of around Rs 22,000, I have to give this a thumbs down. If the price drops – and I mean really drops – I just might be tempted to up my rating, but not as things stand.
