Say what? I admit even looking at the title outraged me a little, but I opened the whole article to read it. I do have N81 and my friend has N95, so I can compare each other. I’ve also asked several girls about their opinions on design of N81, and I havent heard “pretty” from single of them – they’d all want RAZR instead =/ At the Jammed point, Id say that its question of concept and overall design, and while you see it girly, I see it more useful than N95′s down-slide music buttons. At the Sharp, good point, the on/off switch is really hard to activate. To finish the comment – I cant imagine majority of girls going for N81 for its looks, and moreover, most of girls are still too (forgive me the word) technically-wise uneducated to control a Symbian device properly.

dani2xll,
I don’t know if you know it, but I am a girl myself and yes I do agree that the n95 packs more (or different) functionality: I have already spoken about it in part 3 of my “Got an N81?” post series. You should read that and see what I had to say about it. Also I got to test the N95 8gb and I believe I said that it was a dead sexy device too, it’s not “dead” sexy when it comes to looks, but when you know what’s inside, you can’t help but fall in love and it becomes “dead” sexy.

What I am saying here is that for most girls, esp the ones around me _ i am a pharmacy student so my current friends are neither tech enthusiasts nor very hip when it comes to mobiles, just your ordinary 20-yearers) _ the N81 “looks” nicer than the N95. For them, choosing a phone is based probably 50% on looks and 50% on functionality and that’s where Nokia have excelled: making a device that women wouldn’t run away from, that also packs a lot of power.

Other than that, my main point behind this article wasn’t to convince girls to go buy the n81 but to convince guys not to :p lol no i am just trying to say that a girl wouldn’t have a problem with the jammed keys in the front, and that’s probably THE main reason I think the N81 is more suitable for a girl than a guy.

Another crass article about what us women want. I have the n95 8gb prior to which i had the n95. I dont buy phones based on how pretty they look but on functionality.

[...] There are three reasons why Dotsisx thinks the N81 will sit more comfortably in female hands than those of a man. For one, it is pretty. More ‘chic’ than say, the N95 8GB, it draws adoring looks from females eyes. Secondly, the close-knit keys are perfect for slender female fingers. And three? You need long nails to access the power but with ease… [...]
