Nokia N80

[Vod]

Has anyone found a reputable UK dealer for these yet (sim free).

I've got a top dollar contract already so that won't interest me (800min + 1000txt for £39.99) but I can one find one uk etailer selling/preordering the phone and was kinda hoping to score a bit less than £500 for their pleasure.

Any ideas or past experiences anyone?

The N80 is available now with Orange for new customers at £49.99 (www.orange.co.uk)

It isn't unfortunately available as an upgrade yet. According to some Orange employees, it should be available as an upgrade in the next few days. How accurate that statement actually is, is anybodys guess.

I'm thinking about upgrading to the N80 myself. I have a SE W800i at the moment, but I feel like a change.

get one on a cheap contract and just pay off the rental? might be cheaper than getting it sim-free?

I'm hoping for an N80 too

but I'm after one on a contract.

Expansys have them but they are very very expensive, around £500.

It works out cheaper to get a cheap O2 contract from E2save or somebody and dump the sim.

O2 are due t ohave this phone available this month

I picked one up from an Orange shop yesterday. Having fun playing with it so far, I'll do a write up a little later on

I really want one of these but I think O2 are gonna charge me a fortune to upgrade. Contract runs out on the 26th and they're listed as coming in may so will have to strike up some sort of deal.

I'm quite interested in the Upnp feature. How can I connect it to my tv and stereo wirelessly?

[Parm]

mark22, worst case scenario, Orange are offering the phone to new customers for £49.99, if O2 don't at least match that, tell them to sort out your PAC code

I haven't had that much time to play with the phone yet, but I have managed to connect wirelessly to my home network which is rather handy. Can check my e-mail and browse the web on my phone using my broadband.


Here's a little write up and some pics if you want to take a look.

and linky?

I'm kinda torn between wanting the N80 and all of the N9x series. They are all just So sexy....

Still don't know what one I'll choose in the end yet.

hi people, I had heard bad things from my friends who bought n80, so I thought I should tell you. try the phone before you buy it.

[pp05]

£500 for a phone your likely to want to be shot of in 12 months time is a lot of money IMO.

[SingingOrange]

if you want a very good phone then HTC Universal AKA xda exec/mda pro/ spv m5000

is a good one, wirless LAN, and you can use skype too.

What's so special about this N80 then?
