Very good all round phone with impressive camera as I expected which is the strongest feature of this model, in my opinion, because of the xenon flash. All in all I still give it 5 stars and im more than satisfied with my choice of purchase and Amazon has been nothing but great with this transaction. Another thing i liked was the independent ports for the headphone, power, and usb.
the 3.5mm headset jack is relly convenient for listening to better music quality using top of the line headphones. Screen is rather small in today's standard especially since videos and internet are utilized. Wifi is really easy to activate and video quality is really good with mp4 or 3gp capabilities.
Some cel phones use the same port for each of those and allows the user to just do one thing at a time whereas the N82 lets you talk on the headset, charge your phone, and access or transfer files in the computer all at the same time. GPS is useful also although I havent fully relied on in since I have a GPS navi in my car. Keypad buttons are tiny but at least tactile.i find myself using my fingernails when typing or dialing.
But then again its a candybar style so screen size is limited. Fast shipping, friendly, great price and very accomodating.
I asked the store clerk how to dial numbers on this phone. After my loved Siemens SXG75 got stolen at a gym last month, I ordered this one as a replacement. I was attracted by its wonderful function/camera and had read lots of articles with good comments about this cell phone. He said that people usually have to press the keypal by nails. While the phone was on the way, I visited a retail store and took a close look of the N82. And I found that the too small key pad is difficult to press by my already thin fingers. It is a sufficient reason to cancel the purchase. Therefore, I finally returned the parcel for a refund.
After a short while, you'll teach it most of the odd words you're going to use. It's not just the 5 megapixels. I added an 8gm sdhc Ultra to mine. They aren't for teens who just want games and music. Never get 'memory full' warnings. It can take 16gb card.
It has replaced my actual camera so I can carry less. Oh, and it's $300-400 more expensive.CARRIERIf you pair the N82 w/ T-Mobile in The States, you can enjoy unlimited web usage and downloading. Although the keyes are are spaced, Braille-touch is still near impossible because even my pinkie finger can touch two keys at once. It's fast, no delay. One of them has an 8mp camera, but no Xenon flash to accompany it.OTHER OPTIONS - WINDOWS MOBILE OR APPLE OR PALM: No other operating system offers as many downloadable apps as the Symbian systems. This means you can download Symella and download music, video and files to your phone like LIMEWIRE.
MORE THAN JUST THE CAMERAYES, THE CAMERA: Enough has been said of the camera. There is an equalizer, boost & surround feature, none of which improve the sound. Although AT&T offers 3G in The States, the N82 doesn't carry US 3G frequency so save money and spend all the time on the web w/ T-Mobile.If you opt for PDA like a Blackberry with any carrier, you will have to pay an additional $25/mo to be able to access the Internet. Record video and see it on the screen simultaneously.(If you purchase a collapsible bluetooth keyboard and mouse, you'll have a 'laptop' that is more portable and has a larger screen than a Mac Air, fits in a jacket pocket and uses any modern tv's screen).MEMORY: Comes with 2gb memory card. If you go w/ AT&T, you'll pay as you go.
3G: The N82 doesn't come w/ US 3G frequency, unfortunately.CONFIGURATION: If this is your first smart phone, you should know that, because it's not released under the umbrella of a carrier, it will take a lot of configuration. I can key in my name by touching the same amount of keys as I would on a QWERTY, but w/o the range of motion and the bulk of a QWERTY.SPEAKERS: Considering this unit has two speakers and is an upgrade from the N80, the sounds isn't quite as clear, good or powerful as that of an N80. Dual ARM 11 332 MHz processor w/ 3D graphics hardware acceleratorGPS (comes w/ Nokia maps as well, but download Google Maps for free. You can download Handwave and direct your phone w/o even touching it. It's a solid piece and that means it's very sturdy. At cost, you can add voice-guided directions as well.DOCUMENTS: You can view MSWord docs, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF. I like to think of it as a high end, understated Benz whilst the iPhone is a mass-marketed, gold-laden, flashy Cadillac.
That 'said,' the N82 offers a 3.5mm jack. I record all of my YouTube vids with the phone, too.It's not just the flash. You won't be able to just pick it up and do all of the things I've listed here w/o downloads, upgrades, input. It's better).
It's bigger than most and as large as some PDAsLOOKS: This stealth phone definitely flies under the radar. NO QWERTY: The T9 is both predictive *and* teachable. These are not simply calling phones. 128mb RAM.
The best part (to me) is that it's feature-packed but stealth, tasteful, compact, sturdy and doesn't shout "trend follower". For best results, I reduce the initial size of the photo (to 5x7 or so) so it doesn't have to be edited down.OTHER COOL FEATURES:TV-OUT function that comes w/wiring. It's a lens that can handle the megapixels and an autofocus that makes it worth while. It's all true. Plug the N82 into a tv and see the webrowser, photos, movies, MSWord docs, Excel docs, PowerPoint, PDF files, etc. This is no exaggeration. The headset sound is stellar. Just Google "flex cable" and add any slider phone.N85 & N86: These newer models are sliders which look cheap.
UPnP to wirelessly connect with other wireless electronicsVIDEO CALLING: This feature doesn't work in The States, but it allows you to take self photos/videos and see yourself as you shoot. There are countless more free apps available. With an upgrade, you can even edit them.ZIP: Creates, opens, downloads and sends ZIP foldersWiFi that is very easy to configure. It's not just the lens cover. The sound is good, but not what it should be and is an obvious step down from the N80. The infrared will shoot across a room to auto-focus & the bright Xenon will illuminate the room to take excellent, quality photos in complete darkness.
Ridiculous. In a few years when video calling reaches us, your N82 will be ready.Bluetooth, Podcasting, FM radio, currency/measurement converter, world clock, photo editor, video editor, NGage gamesThis is not a slider or a flip. Of course, the iPhones aren't even remotely in this phone's league. Cute, but not practical.CONSSMALL KEYS: The keyboard is the size of my thumb. I can take a photo in pitch blackness. No bling. Know this.SMALL SCREEN: The screen isn't as small as you may think.
A cursor only requires I move my thumb a few millimeters whilst iPhoners are using two hands and strokes.
It's just more expandable than any other operating system.Touch screens are gimmicks.
They require a greater range of motion, usually two hands and make your screen dirty.
Most of us aren't trying to take poster-sized photos.
The upcoming N97 from Nokia has more features, but it is larger, is a 'slider,' uses a touch screen and doesn't have a Xenon flash.
Sliders come with flex cables that are subject to damage.
You can download Nokmote, Rockandscroll or Rotateme and direct the N82 by motion.
No wow factor.
Nokia's smartphones are more expensive to purchase because they don't come with service in The States, but they are cheaper to operate because they can be configured to us the Net w/o hefty, monthly PDA fees.This phone runs circles around almost anything you'll come in contact with.
great phone, nice cam, 2gb included, tv output, many functions, many software, many gamesthe cam is kinda slow but takes amazing pics, videos are great also3d games are great, this cell has an 3d chip, even quake has opengl acceleration, but there are few games that use thisthe bad, is slow on many thing, menus, contacts, etc, even with 128 mb of ram that sucks, now if you update it maybe that is fixed, i havent update it yet
I am big Nokia fan, so moving from my old one into this Nokia was pretty much painless. This phone is all I wanted. Very easy to navigate. I wanted it primary for making calls, sending multimedia messages, taking photos and the Wifi.Takes great pictures, that can be edited right in the camera. Pictures are easily attached to your text messages, the phone will automaticaly resize it for you.
