The Nokia N80 was released during Q1 of 2006. An updated bronze and a black version were later added - sometimes referred to as N80 Internet Edition. In some countries, it ceased being commonly available (new) around Q1 of 2007 due to the problems Nokia were having with bugs. Interestingly, aside from the N95 it still packs the most amount of features of any Nokia on the market or that was on the market previously ( at the time of writing ).

Below is a list of bugs (some may have been fixed in later firmware updates):

1/ During an incoming call the screen graphics become scrambled and does not return to normal until the user hangs up.

8/ If SMS messages are set to be stored on the memory card, phone sometimes crashes when connected to a PC via data cable in "data transfer" mode.

10/ On some phones the N80 requests a new date and time everytime it is restarted.
