Nokia N80

ok, so i have the n80 and guess what. the stereo bluetooth - specifically the HST850 Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones, WORKS! The SUPER strange thing is though, it only half a$$ works?!? The music plays in mono through the headphones. Cellular concepts researched it and said yes the headphones work and the phone is capable as even some other third party phone carriers claimed as well, only they couldn't get it to play in stereo and it sounds like crap for them as well. So here's the question - HOW in the HECK does the stereo bluetooth headphones even work if the phone isn't supposed to be compatible with it and why would it only work in mono and not stereo? Is there some sort of setting, or adapter, or different stereo b.t. headphones th...

How can I purchase an unlocked N80 US version? I don't want the European version. I'm on Cingular's network and afraid that if I get the Euro version, it won't work properly and have bugs....

Thanks,

has anyone ever used this website to buy phones. i just ordered an n80 and just wanted some feedback if they are a reliable source to buy phones. thanks

Has anybody heard of mobile-zone.us? they have this phone for sale for $466..best price i've seen

I found this phone and its locked. I think its from egland but i dont know if it will work over here. I was wondering if someone knows the unlocked code or if they know of anyone who does. Thank you.

just because it's august, we're giving away phones. this week you have a chance to win a Nokia N80. all you have ot do is post in the following thread before 5 pm pacific time on friday:

posting in this thread (on the N80 forum) will not enter you.

Hey, what is the difference between the US version and the Euro version OTHER than one is CDMA2100 and the other is 1900? is there software differences or something that would make me need to have the US version other than the EURO one? One huge thing for me is that the Nokia reps are stating that the US version is only going to have the bluetooth ver. 1.2 and the Euro version has 2.0 bluetooth?? If you look on cellularconcepts it is 2.0! What do i do or need or want more??

Since it appears that the euro version will have to be bought before we die of old age...for those who have bought this phone..how difficult/easy has it been to set it up with all the settings needed for cingular? i.e. mobile internet..mms..etc..

I posted a thread about the camera on this phone? Does it take good pictures being a 3 meg pix? For both outdoor and indoor?? Thanks

Just noticed that the N80 is now available from the Nokia website, but they removed everything about it having umts 1900 and only have the one with 2100 on it. This really sucks, I wanted this phone really bad with umts 1900.

I know this store does not open until June 21st, but has anyone found out what there phone number will be? I'd like to be the first call the day they open 🤣 . Of course my first question will find out if they have a 1900 wcdma phone.

Well guys I've given up on playing the waiting game for Nokia to release the UMTS 1900 version. I figured 3G won't be available from Cingular until September here in the Kansas City, MO area anyway. Here is the plan I've got in mind. If and when the U.S. N80 phone is released, I'll just sell mine on Ebay. Granted, I'll be competing with WCDMA 1900 phones, but if I sell to Europeans they'd want the 2100 version anyway. I figure I'll be able to get a discounted N80 phone from Cingular since I'm not asking for my discount phone now. So in theory, I'm hoping the sale on Ebay and the cost of a subsidized phone from Cingular will come out to be a wash. Of course, I'm sure I'll loose a couple hundred selling it used if the N80 comes out in a...

Is the N80 1900 WCDMA version for the US market available for sale now? Has anyone been able to purchase the WCDMA 1900? I do not trust the claims by some online retailers.

Thanks

Before 5,000 people ask... 😉

The latest and most reliable info I have is that Cingular is reconsidering whether to carry the N80.

Certainly the N80 was on Cingular's roadmap, and of course versions have been spotted with a Cingular logo. BUT... Cingular wants their 3G phones to have WCDMA 850, and it's not clear if Nokia is able to easily add WCDMA 850 using their current chipsets.

Cingular has told me flat-out that the 6282 is the only 3G phone they will ever carry without WCDMA 850, which would exclude the N80, unless Nokia can add WCDMA 850 to it.

At the Nseries event last week in Berlin, I overheard a Nokia U.S. person saying that Cingular was still figuring out whether to carry the N80.

Either way, I do expect Nokia...

I am looking at buying the N80 any sugestions as to which provider is better/ easier to get the phone to work with. I am out of my contract with verizon and willing to go wither direction as far as provider.

I have read so many negative comments about the battery life of the Nokia N80. Is that something Nokia could easily correct with a different battery? Or is it not that simple? Also, I have only seen this phone on-line, has anyone held it? At over an inch thick, it seems awkwardly fat.

Which do you think is a better buy 🙄 ? Nokia N80 in pearl blank 👀 or 👀 stainless steel? And why? 🤨

Just want to know what difference does it make if Cingular accepts or passes on this phone? If you want it, why not buy it unlocked and drop the SIM in?
