I am really liking the N80 now that I’ve had it for a while. Thanks to Andy, I’ve been able to overcome a few glitches it seems were perhaps pilot error than the fault of the device….
For starters, there is a zoom function in the camera — you just use the 5-way and press either up or down to zoom. Easy. I was getting a bit used to the more advanced functions on the N73 and N93 to realize this was right there - doh! The pictures are not as good as either the N73 or N93, but quite good for a camera phone…
Disabling Birdstep, smartroaming has made a drastic difference in my battery life. In fact, since disabling it I have not seen the low battery message. I charge each night so I can’t tell you exactly how long the battery does last but in my case a full day is sufficient with limited WiFi usage.

It does work really well though…

[...] I’ve previously reported issues getting Gizmo to work on my home network and I’ve finally nailed the problem… my router (D-Link DGL-4100) was blocking Port 5060. Now that I’ve defined Gizmo as a special application on the router it’s open and working! I had posted on the Gizmo forums which is where I learned which port needed to be adjusted. [...]
