oh god.

my friend has this phone. absolutely loved the screen and the plethora of features… until i tried typing a txt message. oh god. the keypad is horrible!! well, not the keypad per se, but the top row of keys [i.e., the 1, 2, and 3 buttons] is placed too close to the upper slider, making it really difficult to press them!! disappointing, really. deal killer. my good ol’ 5300 doesn’t have this problem [the keypad is absolutely perfect, even after more than a whole year of heavy, HEAVY txting usage.]

sorry. just had to get that out

amazing, the earphones has just about the same cost as the phone itself!! BOSE does make great-sounding audio devices, but they’re just too expensive!! even in the US, where even better alternatives exists, BOSE is still the price king.

Hi Jon2,

I didn’t bought this one. It was sent to me for review. The phone alone though costs about Php18k in local stores. You will need to buy the Bose headphones separately and they cost Php20k!

Sir Abe, may I ask how much did you purchase your phone (in Pesos)?
And where in the Philippines did you buy this ‘N81 special edition’??
I couldn’t find it anywhere here in the Phils!

you can add songs from the pc onto a playlist as long as you import it into the music player. you just need to go to the music player. options then refresh, it will search for all available mp3s and add it to the library so you can make a playlist with those songs.

@dapeke, the headphones are sold separately. only the special edition has it. The phone alone cost around 17k.

Nice review Sir Yuga! I also got hold of this last January, and it’s music capability is excellent. It adds much bass and sonic response due to the embedded music chip and a direct 3.5mm slot.

sylv3rblade,

Those headphone cost for about 25,000php - from a Bose retailer in Trinoma. But in the US, it would just normally cost not exceeding the $400 level price.
