On the second day of use the phone froze on me while running the map application. A reboot fixed it. The thing is ever since, the 'music player' and some 'call standby' application are constantly running in the background. These two cannot be closed by any means. In the meanwhile, I faced multiple instances when the most simple tasks took forever, the most recent one was when it took eight reboots to get the phone working at normal speeds again. The phone runs on the most recent 11.0.0.45 firmware. One more thing: Athens Greece is a Gmt +2 time zone city. Some ignorant fool has programmed the phone to display +3 when Athens is selected. Obviously the phone's firmware deserved some more attention. I'm taking the thing back tomorrow first thing. Shame.</p> I’ve had my N81 four days now and have already come across most of the issues in Om’s review. On the second day of use the phone froze on me while running the map application.

He put all the music first and then started "reviewing". It's absolutely normal that when you fill up your phone's memory (or any other device's memory) to the full, it gets slow, unresponsive and so on. That's just plain dumb and shows how much knowledge about mobile phones and technology in general the reviewer has.</p> <p>Of course Nokia N81 is flawless, but you gotta know your thing how to use it properly.</p> The guy who wrote this review is extremely stupid.

Of course Nokia N81 is flawless, but you gotta know your thing how to use it properly.

I currently have 6288 which is ok. The only other thing which would have been nice in this model, is the ability to open more than one application at a time.

I use the internet on the phone very regularly. What would u suggest?
