We like:
Great music features; excellent screen; top-notch connectivity
We don't like:
Touch wheel is poor; average camera; bulky and heavy
CNET.co.uk judgement:
We love the Nokia N81's mammoth 8GB of storage space and excellent music and gaming features. However, we wish it wasn't so bulky and that it had a better touch wheel. As a result it's not really the revolutionary multimedia handset that we were hoping for
