Good

6.3

out of 10

CNET Editor's rating: 6.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Bonnie Cha
Review date: 1/22/08
Release date: 10/22/07

The good: The Nokia N81 supports the Nokia Music Store and N-gage gaming platform and features a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual speakers, and dedicated gaming keys. The Symbian smartphone also offers a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and e-mail capabilities.

The bad: The N81's controls are cramped and hard to use. The smartphone doesn't support the U.S. 3G bands, and performance can be sluggish and buggy. The Nokia Music Store and N-Gage gaming platform have not officially launched in the United States yet.

The bottom line: We had high hopes for the gaming- and music-centric Nokia N81, but it ultimately disappoints with a bad design and buggy performance.
