I’ve just read AllAboutSymbian’s review of the new Nokia N80 and if I wasn’t sure whether or not to get one before, I am now. The report couldn’t be more glowing:

Generation X - Are We Building the Services They Want?
In a post on Blogspotting by Stephen Baker he states that his son and his friends don't wear watches anymore. If they need to tell the time, they reach into their pockets and pull out their mobiles.

All About Symbian have a very brief review of the P990. It’s not very long, but it tells me all I need to know whether or not to get this phone or the Nokia N91:
It’s bigger than the P900 = Bad
The screen is virtually the same size = Good
Although the flip-closed UI has been [...]
