New Nokia N80

After only a solid week of calling Orange twice a day, on Friday morning I was able to find an Orange retail shop, which had the new Nokia N80 in stock. My local shop ironically, since I was willing to travel to Glasgow or Aberdeen if necessary.

No, I am not a fanatic...

So, I've now been using it for three days.  A full report and review will follow fairly shortly.

My first impressions are fairly good.  I love the screen, the new version of the S60 o/s looks great and the camera is gorgeous.

However, I'm less thrilled with the build quality - the slide action is a little loose, the phone will start to open if slipped into a jacket pocket and when texting, the body 'gives' slightly.

On the software side, the phone's had two shut downs and I'm really not convinced by Nokia's new web browser yet.

But these are little problems.  on the whole it's doing well so far.  Looking forward to getting Opera on there and living with it for a few weeks.

Updates as warranted.
