The N80 starts shipping, Support pages online
Published by Steve Litchfield at 11:10 UTC, April 12th 2006
Nokia's N80 pages have appeared on their web site, with the usual mix of FAQs, documents and add-on software. Which can only mean that the N80 is shipping. Somewhere in the world, anyway!
The Nokia N80 looks set to be one of the most popular smartphones of the year. You can read our preview of this device, which was announced at last years NMC, here.
Some of the software highlights include:
- Quickoffice document viewers
- N80 VPN Software
- Wireless keyboard drivers
- Catlog application
The N80 will support UPnP - more details of which can be found in the manual. This contrast with the N91 where the UPnP functionality was present in early preview manuals, but was removed in the shipping version.

I so want this phone.... Come on O2, get it out.
Interestingly, I noticed that Stuff magazine have this phone as their Best Buy, phone to die for.
Dr, Who?
How exciting!
I had heard it rumoured from one well connected UK operator source that in their opinion the N80 was rapidly heading for vapourware. But has anyone actually seen a review of one yet (other than on mobile review)? Come on Rafe, Steve or Ewan - have any of you got your hands on one of these yet? I've seen the N91 review, I am waiting for the E61 review but the one I really want to see is this baby. And keeping fingers crossed that it makes it on to T-Mob before June.

Nice phone but a bit pricey? (Expansys are listing it at £614.95...)

I don't think any of the AAS crew has their hands on one yet. (Not long though I hope). I had a very quick play with one at CTIA - it really is gorgeous (and seemed much more stable than 5 months ago). However it really is just a matter of weeks before this is available. The support pages go up a few days before devices start shipping. The N91 I think started shipping on Monday and I think the N80 starts next monday.

Large picture of the N80, text and pictures at the bottom about the N series. :cool: Definitiely on the Victoria line, probably the northbound platform at Vauxhall.
My train was arriving so I didn't stop to take a piccie.
As for price, well the N90 started out over £600 too.
They should be in the shops soon. It has been on Carphone Warehouse's coming soon list for a while, I've not noticed it being advertised by anyone else yet.
ttfn,

I'm sure we'll see the N80 for T-Mobile USA soon! Yeah right.. just wishful thinking. The last S60 smartphones I saw at T-Mobile USA were the 6600 and N-Gage. I've been hoping to replace my 6600 with a N70 or at least a 6630, but I doubt I will see them at T-Mobile USA anytime soon. I think I'll be better off not holding my breath and just buying an unlocked phone.
The N80 looks very promising, but the initial price will probably steer me towards buying a N70 instead. (Looking forward to the AAS N80 review though.)
