The Nokia N80 is one of only a few slide up style smartphones, which makes it relatively compact compared to other smartphones on the market, which is even more remarkable when considering all of the features that have been packed inside.

This handset features a 3 megapixel camera which ensures great photos thanks to easy navigation, landscape orientation mode and 20x optical zoom.  The built in MPEG4 video decoder also guarantees excellent quality video streaming for use in video calling for example.  The internal memory of 40MB can be boosted to 2GB with the use of a microSD memory card to store all your videos and snaps.  All these images are viewed on a fabulous, high definition 262K TFT display, one of the best around.

Additional features of this phone are a Nokia web browser with minimap, quadband GSM, dual band WCDMA, WLAN, EDGE ad GPRS as well as an excellent quality music player that supports a range of formats.

The Nokia N80 includes all the attributes of a modern mobile phone, and is a good quality handset.  However the camera fails to live up to expectation, with some saying the picture quality is only as good as the 2megapixel camera in the N90, and others have reported the phone to be fairly slow.
