Took this a few minutes ago, before my first cup of coffee. Hope to answer any of your questions about this device:
Hey Stefan.
I got this song also on my N95 and I love it
oh i got plenty more where that came from.
I’ve also got a lot ‘old’ music on my phone. Like Dj Bobo and Dr Alban hehe
The rattling could be caused by the little piece that turns around to make the phone vibrate. That’s what has caused my phone to rattle. But I agree, it shouldn’t be like that on a brand new phone.
i hate nokia, because their phones are just way too expensive and the quality of materials is so lame!
like n76’s silver paint that faded away after 2 weeks of using
i think they still sell so many phones becuz everybody thinks nokia is the best phone manufacturer
actually nokia makes some of the best phones on the market. granted not all of them are hits, i love my N95 and there is nothing like it on the market today.
Mike, lol, sure.. they keep adding market share and absolutely dominate just because of perception.. Get real.
Nothing is harder then reality. Nokia produces since a few month only hardware with problems that are not accaptable. The consumers are blind enough and buy nearly every crap. The N95 has had the same problems, too. Just forget about that? The camera and slider is and was a shame.
That’s a very good critical review. Then this video shows it all. All the previous N81 previews have been positive and glowing fuzzy nice warm stuff. It’s good to know about the negative points because nothing is perfect in this world. With that point, I think you shouuld do more reviews in the future. You’re good.
Before this review, I was too sucked in from all the marketing hype and video previews. I was thinking about getting one, but now I may just wait for the next model.
Well my N95 slider is good not great, but good. The thing that bothered with N95 was how much the quality did differ that said 6500 series is a right way and Nokia could make same type of phones ore.
When we pass the normal 30-300€ devices those are after all the ones that make the company and the profit…. thought this is a bit off topic agen
N95, E90 and exaple Vertus(quality) are kinda like volkswagens Bugatti Veyron just to show what can they do
Hi Stefan
I did not know but I thing the noise (hlack hlack) is because of the holder for the back cover. put it up (back cover) and try again and i thing the noice will be a way. If not press a finger on the smalle holder for the back cover. now it will be way.
If the noise not way and you did not like the N81 you can give it to me for a review or more becous i can live with the noise.
The noice from the dispaly and front keys are also on the N95, i have and same more not so nice noises. But it is (regular) at series Prodacts the the not in all the best. Maby you will find with the Vertu Phone a Phone with out problems.
That loose slider that clicks when the phone is open – the thumping noise you don’t wanna hear
– was present on my N95 and it made me send it off after a couple days. No more moving parts if I can avoid it…
That’s the review I like to see…
The rattling noise should be the key pad lock, placed on top of the phone. I guess it needs to be that way, if too regid it wouldn’t slide too well…
Are you guys for real! This guy is more annoying than his quotes! The spinning of the phone suggests OCD and the fact a noise irritates him when a button is pressed just shows the level of his OCD. This review would simply not put me off the phone. A quirk is a quirk, compulsion is a problem! Seek medical help!
hey mate :
one thin more tbh
the software sux as shit lots of bugz in it ..
I don’t have that noise on the keys on my N81, maybe you were unlucky?
uhm…great preview and ummm could somebody tell me what that song is called please?
It rattles because of the lock key..above..
The rattling noise is the key lock at the top..
Shake the phone and hear the noise.
Then hold down the lock with your finger and shake it..
The noise should be gone.
