A short battery lift is still a problem though and it surely is a negative pointer. But I must conclude that having to deal with the short battery life is less annoying for me than carrying all those devices seperately! But I am sure that will change in the near future! @andy:

(and not only because i forget it alot but .. ) if you go to a festival or take a couple of days trip without any comfort(yes i go camping from time to time :)), you still want to capture pictures, you still want to receive calls or sms messages and you stil want to listen to music (occasionally) I'm not saying that when you buy all those things separately you can extend your playtime with all those things dramatically much .. but when i do all those things with my iphone i can assure you that my battery runs out in 1 day .. not very handy if you don't have the possibility to charge your phone. especially that people are being able to contact you is a big concern of mine. although that being said, i like my iphone and his capabilities as I'm sure you like your n81 for the same reasons as i do ;). good thing that you pointed this out, especially the price comparison.. but i think that have to wait a couple of more years for these devices really can hit the market, and i think that the battery life is the biggest bottleneck to overcome. just my 2c story :) I’m agreeing with a lot of this stuff,

The Nokia n81 is a beautiful phone, and you can get it for even cheaper on ebay.com. They are going for around USD $380 or less now even though a few months ago were over $500, so now is a good time! I have had a cheap phone for several years now and have just sprung for a Treo, and am thrilled! I now have a calendar handy whenever someone asks me if I am free a certain day, I can listen to music at the gym without having to bring both my phone and mp3 player, and the screen is bigger, and I whip out the camera feature all the time when my daughter is doing something cute, and I wouldn't otherwise have caught that moment because I don't bring my camera with me everywhere. It is worth the investment! This is very true! The Nokia n81 is a beautiful phone, and you can get it for even cheaper on ebay.com.
