Just got my today. Is really cool. Havent had a nokia since my 7210, so a far while. lol. So is take some getting used to. Cant get it to connect to my home wireless network however, which is annoying. Has the little sqaure up showing it knows one is there, but when you search it says no wlan is available.

if you have wifi at home with net access you can use it for anything on the phone that requires a connection. even the operators service menu.
the good ting about wifi on the n80 is that it adds them as access points so its just the same as selecting gprs/dialup etc for net/wap access

unsecured network
1) Menu - own - web - options - settings (access point - always ask)
after this Menu - connectivity - com mgr - (availale networks ) select your network - options define access point.
after that goto my own - web select a website should say "connection to server needed" select yes (searching for avaiable access points. select your home network e.g netgear. then it should work.

Yeah but it wont actually see the netwoek when i search for it using the com mgr. The only way i have found it is by entering all the details in to the advanced options on the home network bit. It will then talk to the network, but obviously doesnt know its useable as an internet connection. I have SSID switched to do not broadcast, could this be why it cant access it?

yeah you do....so I can use it :evil:
I nick lan everywhere I go now, its quality
the worst thing deffinately is the macro switch!! its f**king cheap and tacky, should be flush with the case and tight.
also I dont like the menus not being numbered so you cant short cut to things like samsungs.
o2!!!
The shitters, I called up orange and got offerd a great deal on a 18 month contract (1100 tests 500 x net mins 100 eve and weekend mins £30.00/month phone and for £50.00).
Called o2 to request my PAC so I could leave with my number. Turns out he offers me an 18 month deal 750 min and 750 texts £30.00/month phone £49.99.
I want to stay with o2 due to bad orange signal at work.
I say ahh but you have not got the phones in stock!! He replies 'we can have it with you in 2 days'!!
SO I agreed.
o2 have N80's I TELL YOU!

yeah its good but not a good phone for my job. I'm and electrician and its so easily damageable.
I have to keep it in a bloody sandwich bag in my tool box, its too big to keep in my pocket, and would get crushed in a loft unlike my samsung e720 which I could throw about and you could turn the flash on full to use as a torch with a single button on the side which has been bloody handy on so may occasions.
If I worked in an office it would be great but I have to keep the thing protected at all times its annoying. also I'm worried about taking it clubbing too.
best thing is defo the wifi tho!

I just made "the call" to o2... It was as bad as I expected!
Firstly I'm o2's worst customer. I barely spend more than my £19 a month bill and I've only been with them 18 months.
Rang the upgrade line for a laugh and was quoted £280(!) Said I'd pass on that. Rang retentions and spent ages trying to get them to match the offer they have for new customers (£19 a month, £99 for the N80). Bloke said he couldn't do that but offered me all kinds of weird deals, even so far as to offer to transfer the contract to my wife (I'm not married!) and reduce the monthly bill to £5 and give her a free "nice girlie phone".
He said he could reduce the line rental to a fiver a month if I paid full price for the phone (£280) and signed for another 18 months. No thanks.
Eventually we gave up and I got my PAC code. Back to Orange, online offer straight from Orange's own site - £25 a month and £50 for the N80. Suits me fine. Impressed with Orange's website - I'm an existing customer of sorts, I have an OVP plan which I pay nothing for line rental on, just calls, so it costs me nothing unless I make calls, and I was able to enter that info and bypass all the credit checking and address entry malarkey. They also give the option of choosing when you want the phone delivered, ideal if you are going to be away the next day but back after then.
I've had contracts with Orange in the past and always had good service so It's nice to go back to them. Phone should be here in time for the weekend.

Got mine today..to be honest I think its such a let down. In many respects ive downgraded in terms of a phone. Bulky, slow...who wants to browse the internet on their phone anyway? Really disappointed!
