Nokia N80 N Series 3G/EDGE/Bluetooth/Wi-fi Enabled  Quadband Slider/Media Device with 3Mbpixel Camera/Camcorder, FM Radio, MP3 Player, 40Mb Shared Memory, Up to 2Gb miniSD Slot

Nokia N80, the first ever handset to enable seamless
home media networking between compatible TVs, audio systems and PCs.
The Nokia N80 reflects and harmonizes work and personal life through
leading on-the-go productivity tools, multimedia entertainment and
mobile photography in a design that communicates success. Weighing only
134 grams, the compact yet feature-rich 3G multimedia device is packed
with performance, providing fast internet access and convenient
intuitive browsing as well as the possibility to send and receive
emails at Wireless LAN (WLAN) speeds.

 

With simple to use yet advanced UPnP (Universal Plug
and Play) technology*, the pioneering Nokia N80 can be used to tap into
the digital home network, acting almost as a remote control, enabling
secure and convenient access to compatible PCs, audio equipment and
TVs.** Consequently, images and video stored on the Nokia N80 or a
compatible PC can be viewed wirelessly on the living room TV, while
listening to music stored on the device through the living room audio
system. Printing is now faster too, as Nokia N80 users can print
wirelessly to any compatible UPnP-enabled home printer or printing
kiosk.

Nokia N80 is the first quadband handset designed to
work on 3G (WCDMA 1900 or 2100), WLAN, EDGE and four GSM bands
(850/900/1800/1900), enabling broadband access from virtually anywhere
on the planet. Incorporating the latest productivity functions in
addition to 3G and EDGE data connectivity, people can use the Nokia N80
at more than 136,000 public WLAN hotspots around the world to access
the internet and send large emails or upload high quality images to an
online service. Additionally, the Nokia N80 supports the new Nokia Web
Browser with Mini Map, featuring a semi-transparent zoomed-out overall
view of the web page, enabling users to intuitively navigate to all
corners as well as see the web site as it was originally designed. With
the experience further heightened by the device's superior high
definition display (352 x 416 pixels, up to 262,144 colors), which
incorporates 90% more pixels than QVGA displays commonly found on
smartphones and PDAs, the Nokia N80 also incorporates MPEG4 AVC
decoding support for high quality video streaming.

With great ergonomics for image capture, the Nokia N80
is also an excellent mobile photography device for capturing,
collecting and sharing moments and memories. In addition to
incorporating a 3 megapixel camera with capture key for fast and stable
camera activation, full-screen landscape capture utilizing the entire
available high definition display, and a dedicated close-up mode
switch, the Nokia N80 also features CIF video capture with inbuilt
video stabilization. Moreover, the Nokia N80 incorporates large
internal memory of up to 40 MB, which can be further expanded with a
hot swap miniSD card of up to 2 GB, allowing users to store up to 1000
high quality images on the device.

Supporting a wide range of digital music formats, the
Nokia N80 boasts a digital music player as well as stereo FM radio and
support for Visual Radio, which provides listeners with a richly
interactive information channel, including information on the song and
artist currently playing. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated UPnP
technology, transferring music between the Nokia N80 and a compatible
PC is easier than ever. Alternatively, users can transfer their
favorite music via USB 2.0 by simply dragging and dropping from a
compatible PC onto the device. As a result of its powerful music
features, the Nokia N80 qualifies as a part of the Nokia XpressMusic
device range. The XpressMusic feature brand makes it easy for consumers
to identify Nokia products that provide a superior mobile music
experience.
