it is damn hot!.
One drawback though...THE GOD DAMN CAMERA!!!!.
Sorry for the agressiveness people.
I just can't see why Nokia can't simply make the perfect phone, i mean i guarantee you that if it had a 5 megapixel cam it would be almost perfect.

It's not perfect for a reason. Why would Nokia create the 'perfect' phone? People would stop upgrading!

Lol, well obviously if it had a 5 MPIX cam it wouldn't really be 'perfect' would it?, just a figure of speech.
Actually, i do think the N95 is quite 'perfect', and the other variants of it, and people may just upgrade to the N82...

Here littel update about the amazing musicphone N81

Yes,Bloggers are talking about our n81 again.Thanx to WOM for sending special edition handsets to these reviewers.Now everyone think that its an excellent smartphone <except for camera> and best music player.

Let me start with Vaibhav Sharma from The Symbian Blog has an unboxing video
also Abul from Symbian In Motion has put up some unboxing pictures and a picture special post.
Symbian-Guru.com » Blog Archive » Got An N81? Part 1 - Get BOSE

and also Dotsisx from symbian-guru also did put up review on this special edition.
she has 15points to give thumbs up !!!! and she says n81's music experience is better then ipod.....go read for yourself.

###########

Here i am posting her review :

1 - This is how MUSIC was always supposed to be. “Now That’s what I call Music” - the final episode.
2 - If this is heaven, then please somebody kill me tonight! It’s a 1/2 chance I’m going there.
3 - I was never a fan of bass, turns out I never listened to it the way I should have. Turn the volume to 80% and face your fears, bass makes the headphone bump against your ears!
4 - I thought opera music was for dull old people, until I heard Andrea Bocelli on the Bose.
5 - Josh Groban, Celine Dion, Gregory Lemarchal, Il Divo, Lara Fabian, then turn off the light, and there you go, on the wings of an angel.
6 - It’s like a huge stereo with surround system and amplifiers, in my head. Awww, love that feeling.
7 - HIM almost sounded angelic :s and even Lindsay Lohan and Haifa Wehbe (for our arab readers) sound great!
8 - This is what I am getting on my first paycheck! Oh and since that won’t happen for a couple of years, and if you are still wondering what to get me next christmas, now you have your answer.
9 - You never heard Red Hot Chili Pepper’s Dani California or My Chemical Romance’s Helena until you heard it like this!
10 - The iPod with Bose sounded great, but nothing compared to the N81, kudos Nokia! Oh and my iPod is searching for a string to hang itself. I found my perfect music player.
11 - I love that my father was next to me, shouting asking me whether he should get me a banana, and I only noticed him when he pinched me.
12 - David Hallyday singing Higher, do you think he ever got higher on a pair of headphones?
13 - I thought 128kbs was such a low bitrate. Seems I was wrong, I wasn’t listening to it the right way.
14 - A friend of mine managed to drool on IM when I was describing the music sound to him.
15 - I hope I can send them back to WOMWorld, my friend keeps taking them away! Well WOM, I got my eyes on her, so don’t worry


Stef, the N81 8GB, the Bose QC3 and the intern white blouse

In short, I thought Vaibhav was exaggerating when he said he listened to more music in a week than he usually did in a month! I, myself, have reached my monthly limit within 2 days. I am joining BAA (Bose’oholic Anonymous Association). One advice for anyone owning an N81 and reading this, do yourself a favor, get the Bose Quiet Comfort 3 headphones. I know it’s almost 350$, but you won’t believe how the music experience on the device will dramatically change.N81 (+ Bose QC3) = Musical Bliss! « The Symbian Blog

apart from these...........Symbian Guru himself,Ricky Cadden posted this on dec 17 2007 :

I’ve already reviewed the Nokia N81 8GB a while back, answering questions and covering the camera, gaming, music, podcasting, build quality, and a wrapup. However, I received another one from Nokia Blogger Relations, and I wanted to post some updated thoughts on the device here. Originally, I knicked the device for piss-poor build quality, a sucky camera, and, well, I think that was about it.
First and foremost, the N81 8GB that I received from Nokia Blogger Relations is built just as good as the one I played with in London. That means it doesn’t creak - period. I’ve tried and tried, and I can’t get this one to make a peep! If you shake it violently, you’ll still hear something in there, but my personal theory is that’s the ball bearings used in the slide, and thus it doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Besides, how often do you really violently shake your handset to and fro? Exactly.
I don’t have the previous unit handy to compare things such as the thickness of the back cover and whatnot, so I honestly don’t know what’s different between the two. All I know is that this second one, obviously not from the first batch like I’m sure my first N81 was, is built rock-solid, like an E-series. Yes, I said E-series.
The rest of the phone is pretty much the same. If you’re looking for a music device, you really can’t get any better than the N81, though I’d still suggest the microSD version vs. the 8GB version, for transfer speed. I don’t think even a firmware update will make a USB transfer any quicker. Also, with prices dropping (currently ~$450 shipped on Fonegrabber), the N81 is really a hot option, specifically if the camera is an afterthought to you.
I’ve passed my N81 8GB along to Christina to use (replacing the N75 she was previously using) and have required that she do a writeup on it to be posted soon. I won’t spoil the conclusion, but I will say given the new build quality, cheaper price, and news that Ngage will first be available (with a free game, to boot!) on the N81, it’s certainly a very attractive model to look at.
