N81 8GB Review Part 3 - Navi wheel doesn't work well

N81 8GB Navi wheel - not as intuitive as the iPod's

Why? Because it doesn't click or move as smoothly as my 2G iPod and it requires you to press hard. Luckily it is set to off by default. I experimented with it on but finally turned it off because it was more annoying than useful.

Navi Wheel is pants

Took my N81 back 2 weeks ago because the Navi Wheel was no longer responding (used to work like and ipod when I first got it) came back after repair still did not work. Replaced the phone, new one did not work another 3 phones later have not been able to get one to work. Some have been very slow response others had no response. Nokia really need to sort this out as I am seeing lots of discussions coming up with the same problem. If you check with Nokia they suggest updating the firmware, this seems to work for some phones but not others
