Nokia N81 (8GB) Only one thing was disappointing us, when we talk about this smartphone... That's camera...

The camera has only a 2 megapixel resolution with a 20 x Digital Zoom and flash. It makes bad photos and We expected more, more better camera of this multimedia phone.

But, if you like to talk about battery...we can say that this phone was impressed us.
