The Nokia N81 made its debut in 2007. Though the memory is minimal by later standards, the N81 is still a competitive phone for a cellular user. The N81 is thinner than the N80, and it also offers a 3.5-mm headphone jack and a key lock switch. It's also a GSM-based phone, which means that it can be used on platforms like AT&T and T-Mobile.
Media and Entertainment
The N81 allows you to instant message using messaging systems like AIM and Yahoo Instant Messenger. You can send pictures, music and other media via text message to other subscribers. It also has an FM radio and stereo speakers. The music player supports Windows Media Player, making it compatible with a Windows-based PC. It has a two-megapixel camera, which is lower quality than the three-, five- and eight-megapixel cameras that came in later devices. It allows you to record video and includes an LED flash in low lighting situations. It also allows Java-based games.
Organization and Connectivity
The N81 allows you to take pictures and associate them with individuals when they call you, a feature that became popular when the iPhone debuted the same year, 2007. You also have customizable ringer ID's, which allows a distinct ring tone for each person that calls. Bluetooth capabilities are available, and the phone connects to your computer using USB. It also offers Wi-Fi at version 802.1.1 a/b/g, which means the N81 may not benefit from Wireless N speeds. It supports POP3 and IMAP e-mail clients so you can check your AOL or personal e-mail from the phone, and open attachments in Excel, PDF, PowerPoint and Word formats. It also offers a calculator, alarm and calendar.
Safety and Security
Driving while using a phone, without having a hands-free device connected to the phone, has become a widespread concern and is being made illegal in some states. The Nokia N81 offers a speaker phone and voice dialing, which allows you to dial a number by speaking the number or the contact's name. The N81's key lock feature keeps you from mistakenly pressing incorrect buttons and calling individuals unintentionally.
Specifications
The N81 has an LCD color display and Nokia's Symbian operating system. It weighs 4.94 ounces, and it's a slider phone with an internal antenna. A slider phone slides up to show either a QWERTY keyboard or a dial pad for numbers. It has an internal memory slot for 8 GB, or in some locations you can purchase the phone with 8 GB built in as its internal memory. The talk time before the battery dies is four hours, with 17 days standby time. It uses Edge web connectivity, which means that you will not be able to experience the quicker surfing speeds of 3G or 4G.
