Nokia N80 experience?
Anyone with Nokia N80 experiences? I know it's a very new phone. Considering replacing my 6230 with this phone.
I have found a price of $234 all-in from Oz (the catch is I'd have to buy 3 at that price).

It is actually $700 (~$243) each. A minimum purchase is 3 units.
They are starting to show up on eBay and other places. Yes, the price is appearing to be too low for a just released phone.

Do you mean that it is USD700 for all 3 of them? That still doesn't sound right.
Most of them on Ebay are in the good old purple "upgraded" auctions, I always view those as proof that they are being hosted under a hijacked account... Nobody in their right mind pays the $20 to upgrade their listing like that.

Yes it is USD$700 and shipping from Australia. It is looking more and more like a scammer as all his other auctions were used high-end electronics and now he's switched to phones all of the sudden.
Regardless, what are peoples thoughts on this phone?

Nothing too special, nice display and handy to have wifi/3g and edge all in one device, but other than that I have never been impressed with the series 60 platform.
Personally I am more impressed with the upcoming SonyEricsson P990i

But what exactly are you looking for in a phone? Something similar to the 6230? Why not just get a 6230i ?

The P990i looks really good. It also runs Symbiam -- How does that differ from the Nokia?
