Price described the device will not allow his youth. This is a solution for people who could afford to go a little ahead of time and “restored” in the pocket of the latest technologies.

Design and ergonomics

The size of the shell are sufficiently small and rather typical for 3G phone with the transmitter (they are usually more of their counterparts without one) than for the smartphone. But weight (134 g) relatively high. However, the walking kit leather wrist straps to partially compensate for this.
The body is made of lightweight plastic and pleasant. The front panel is almost completely covered metal box. It has become in the design and added reliability. Between the keyboard and display unit are more places left for emphasis, but not smooth metal surface can be used in disclosing slider.
Above the display, you can see the camera lens and the sensor for videotelephony luminance level, which helps to correct backlight screen and keyboard.
Above the window you can see the IR port, and a round button that is used also for switching profiles and safe extraction of the memory card. The key is fairly rigid, so random clicking and cut phone excluded.
Interface connector is located on the habitual place, or at the bottom of the shell. This is the interface used in the latest models of the company. Conveniently, that the port ZU introduced separately (located just left). Do not have to choose between discharged battery and the use of a headset or a USB cable. Port ZU also changed, become more subtle. For complete compatibility adapter attached.
Another piece of the left is the microphone hole, and just the right connector - for fastening strap. That location suggests that the N80 will be “upside down”.
Memory card hidden under the door on the left side of the bottom half slider. It is gratifying that is used miniSD. The memory of this type MicroSD cheaper, but its maximum volume twice as much. However, the size and miniSD also more twice.
On the right side of the hull, at the keyboard block key is placed camera / Shutter. At the top of the - hands-free earpiece, really loud, heard excellent interlocutor. The same is engaged with the dynamics of playing music and video, incoming call, etc. At maximum volume noise and sometimes appears somewhat jarring, the melody becomes less pleasant. The situation is changing for the better, if slightly lower volume.
Inner part of the top slightly thickened. It is there are camera lens, the outbreak and switch to macro mode. And below them - battery compartment lid.
Display slightly drawn into the body. Permission and sharpness can be assessed the highest score, the angles review acceptable, but no more: white and black colors for sufficiently large angles, but even the brightness varies with little deviation. Stock brightness, by the way, is big. This allows the image to be visible in the sun. Screen fades a bit, but you can use the telephone, even in bright sunlight.
Digital keyboard is convenient. All keys are clearly Sydney, a special form of the fingers allows convenient place. Under over the top and bottom rows of keys enough space for comfortable pressing. System keys do not cause such a stormy delight, especially with the lower number of keys size reduction. But any significant inconvenience or she had no weaknesses. With the joystick harder. Initially, he seemed terribly inconvenient, even on the menu navigation caused negative feelings. However, a few days later, the routine use of the situation has changed. Slippery contour can be used to move a finger, and some anchorage only promotes freedom convenient navigation habit comes with time, and enjoy classic joystick becomes even less comfortable.
Smartphone rests comfortably in the hand, looks not bad in the interior. However, even modern, much less functional devices are often large in size.

Menu and function

Richest set of software platform drafted third extended by additional programs to familiarize themselves with even attached a special booklet. Manufacturer’s emphasis on the 3 - megapixels camera and developed networking opportunities. No need to forget about catastrophically low number of compatible programs, and an inability to install third-party order processing (not just those designed to permit larger display). Even through a specially established a service for downloading new software, image processing and the past are not yet available.
Additional software includes the following applications: Kodak mobile, Print Online, QuickOffice, Catalogs, master settings, home server, Lifeblog. In the enclosed CD can be installed Nokia PC Suite for the implementation of all possible operations with telephone (Internet connection, synchronization, file transfer, etc.). Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition (also located on the CD) - a convenient and easy way to fix a newbie, editing and printing of images.
The standard software support further developed according to PTT walkie regime, the possibility edge, the existence of two chambers, file server capabilities and UPnP.
The logic of the work is no different from previous versions of the OS, but refined interface. Now, at the entrance to the top of the menu screen, previously contained proprietary information, and information on the current application, wrapped up to a small strip without losing relevance. A place to rid houses another line of icons.
To set the default desktop icons often launched programs and events organizer, but it can be limited to just a picture.
Leave consideration standard telephone functions in the party - they are, as always, realized at the highest level, it is true, the record on birthday in the contacts have not added to the organizer.
Support profile availability of wireless stereo player makes a particularly interesting. However, the player was not proved. From the sound settings available only equalizer. The player is closely integrated with the local multimedia library, supports play lists, sort by artist, album, playlist, genre, composer. Of the current player can be set to the melody of the call, open embedded browser for downloading music. We evaluated the quality of sound coming through in a set of headphones. Outwardly they look very good quality, met in the fashionable style (dress at the neck, dynamics-liners joined at a small distance, which is just enough to them, to reach out from the wire around his neck to the ear). In the area of the breast is looking unit with the microphone and buttons for a response that is part of the body. Side volume control keys are located, but only one button, contrary to expectations, the player does not put in a pause. Walking in a set of headphones sound quality similar to a headset: catastrophic shortage of low frequency and the excessive number of high, medium inflated. The situation is going to save adapter kit for a standard 3.5-mm connector. However, the absence of a microphone does not allow such a use headphones favorite headset as a full replacement. The ideal solution may be regarded as a wireless stereo. Prices are still fairly high, but for the owners of the smartphone this should not be a problem.
The aforementioned focus on advanced networking features resulted in a proposal to enter into a network to buy everything that can be placed there. Using embedded browser - solid fun. It is not the size of the page formats the display (like Opera or similar solutions), and puts on the screen only the part that might fit. High resolution screen makes such a regime friendly. Cache cache pages and addresses is accelerate work on the Internet, there is support for bookmarks, cookies, java, blocking pop-ups and so-called tabbed (ie multi-interface). Manager allows easy download files in the background. You can decrease the font size to the limit, which will make the text less readable and very small, but most of the pages fit on the screen.
Gallery - convenient and, most importantly, testimonials working annex to maintain order in the photos, audio, video, podcasts, presentations. Access is carried out quickly and conveniently. Pictures beautifully scrolled in full-screen mode, with vivid images even large open permits, for example, with the camera. Supported by the regime, when the top and bottom of the screen represent a sequence of miniatures 4, and the middle - increased 4-fold compared with miniatures information about it: the file name, date, time, lifting frame, the size and placement (memory card or phone) . Such an organizer - an integral part of modern mobile device. For more complex operations with files, you can use a file manager or multi-party programs usually have greater functionality.
This multimedia features smart not limited. Movie Program helps build several videos, add simple effects, captions. Hardly could be expected from these types of programs are acceptable speed on a mobile device, but too slowly implemented even simple functions. To also include multimedia player flash files, real player, visual radio (in our country works only conventional radio), the client instant messaging, voicemail management. Last worthy of special attention because of their excellent work. There is no need to write the names of rooms for notebook or call functions, it automatically synthesized. Russified menu richly cuts are automatically synthesized labels, of course, also produced in the abbreviated form: “Telef. The book, Voice. Mail, etc. «Surprisingly, it works as a function with the full title, and in abbreviated form. Contact written in Cyrillic transliteration and, equally well defined. Tests and voice functions were held in calm and in a relatively noisy atmosphere without using a headset. The results pleasantly surprised. Rarely similar functions are working properly.

Camera

It is no wonder the camera is a significant part of the hull; it is not wasted advertising company based model. It came out really good. And the thing is not in the number of megapixels (3 Mrh, permission to 2048 × 1536px), and speed work, the variety of settings and as the final image. The outbreak is effective within a radius of 2 (maybe a little more) meters. The distance to the object needed to get a sharp picture in macro mode, slightly different from that for conventional treatment.
Out of camera settings storyline survey highlights: portrait, landscape, sports, night landscape, night portrait, limited illumination. From the choice depends on topic extract value, the sensitivity settings and as a consequence, the quality of photos. In a poor light itself outbreak may include (depending on the topic), you can adjust the red-eye reduction mode. White balance can be automatic and user: sunny, cloudy, incandescent lamp, the lamp daylight. Brightness, contrast, saturation, luminance can be changed in a certain range of values. It supports color filters: sepia, and black-and-white negative. The number of camera settings and images in the N80 is comparable to the menu amateur camera. The function of increasing digital, but the facility can be closer to 20 times. Understandably, such an increase in sharpness lost very much, the quality falls seriously, but the function itself is impressive.
An interesting mode consistent shooting. You can do a series of personnel with a given period (1, 5, 10, 30, 60, 300, 600, 900 seconds), but permission will decrease to 1280 × 960. Speaking of the authorization. His itself, and no, there is a choice of image size. The close integration with the press and positioning services model and then left their mark.
Self can work through 2, 10 or 20 seconds.
For quite fit self-VGA camera, it is true, the quality will be worse.
Video Mode left the same positive experience. Primarily because of the normal authorization (352 × 288px) and the right codec (H.263). Script for video is not so much: automatic and shooting night with larger excerpts. The increase is also lower - only 5 x. However, the pictures mostly inherited from the regime of photos.

The resulting video on the screen smartphone looks great, on the computer, of course, is worse. In the first place, there is a low bit rate, resulting in pixelclocks and some fuzziness. Sound is encoded by an algorithm 48kbps AAC c quality, 16kHz. Weak side as photos and video is filming in a poor light, which is beginning to seriously matrix “make noise”. For photos can be used outbreak, but because of it often appear dispersion divorce.
Many functions N80 unique or very rare, for example, a home server based on the Wi-Fi UPnP, the ability to connect a Bluetooth keyboard, a full-fledged browser, and integration with photo printing services. By the way, and you can print the images on a compatible printer via infrared or Bluetooth. It was convenient opportunity to be connected in the flash-drive mode.
Disadvantages: noise matrix with insufficient coverage, a small time in the standby mode (with more or less intensive use of a wall outlet had to look twice daily), a bad sound headphones and poor settings in the attached player.
Nevertheless, a great number of functions perfectly realized more than outweigh all the shortcomings and imperfections.
