The Motorola RAZR2 has dropped in price here, now selling for 179.95 (approx R2520) at CPW.

Think I'd rather go for the Nokia 5610 music slider for the exact same money...
@ Falcon,
We still wanna know what phone you got from abroad, boet. Wonder if the Hobbster was right with his predictions...

@ Gucci,
How are you finding the 2mp N81 camera compared to the N80's 3mp, boet? I know that neither have a/f, but apart from the obvious 1mp difference, is there a notable difference between the two?

@da wanqsta: Lemme add my 2 cents, any camera without AF will struggle in bad light...it's evident in the pictures I take when a room comes variable light.
How about a comparison between the non-AF cameras from Nokia and those from SE? And does the N82 come with a graphic accelerator chip? If it does it should tilt the scales in Nokia's favour against the 2megapixel cameras from

@ da brixsta,
I'm sure you meant the N81 in your post and not the new N82 uber-cameraphone.
I don't think the non-AF 2mp phones will take too much to surpass anyway; the ones I've played with leave a helluva lot to be desired.
In fact, I think the 1.23mp Nokia 3230 that I used to have could (probably) give most of the non-AF cameras a good run for their money..

@ Tranced,

@ Wanqa
You and Brix are spot on. Im realy not happy with the pics taken in dark conditions,the N80 performed better here, i had to go and drop the Exposure Compensation to 1.7 THEN pics look a bit better, and in well lit conditions its fine but still N80 wins there as well but the good side is the N81 Camera UI is seriously fast, opening at around same speed or faster than K800 depending on conditions. Brix N81 doesn't have graphics acceleration but has a powerful 369mhz Freescale Cpu under the hood since apparently most apps, and games (Ngage included) don't realy make much use of a GPU.
Im not a camera person, even the holiday pix i took arent that great so just decided il only upload another two, the camera aint a deal breaker
@ Tranced
Thats great man,now your P990 is a real Multimedia Computer with a lot of space.

@ Gucci,
Ya, for its primary intention, ie. games etc, the N81's da bomb.
My prime 'focus' (excuse the pun ) is cellphone photography, which I guess is pretty evident, and that's why I'm not that bothered by any of the Walkman or Xpress Music phones etc.
@ Jojo,

@ Gucci,
I suppose that's the beauty of the vast range of cellphones available nowadays; there's enough variety to suit most of our personal preferences.
When I fly to SA in late July, I want to take back a new phone for my sister. She's into her Nokias (has my old Nokia 3230)and enjoys her music, so at this stage I'm thinking of getting her a 5610. Decent specs, nice looking slider and by the time July comes along, should be extremely well-priced.

@ Wanqa
So true,i was just on GSMArena comparing random phones  and actualy compared P1 to N81 and ive read both reviews,and they are so totaly different and made for two totaly different markets, how far cellphones have come is pretty interesting, and they are a true expression of one's personality.
5610 looks great,im sure your sis will love it, or maybe even a 6120??? Great lil smartphone.
