    Nokia N82 is the kind of gadget to make high hopes inescapable and it is important to know whether it lives up to the responsible job of being the N73 successor. And here it is: in our view, it carries the burden lightly. N82 has all the premises to become a true bestseller, combining full smartphone functionality with the best camera on the mobile phone market. Upgrading from Nokia N73 seems the definitive choice, if not the only option. Read more

    The Nokia N82 has some very high-end multimedia features, including the best thing about this phone, its 5-megapixel camera. Photographs are simply stunning. They have excellent clarity, and photo subjects are rendered crisp and vibrant with an impressive accuracy for color. Put simply, the N82 has one of the best digital cameras found on a mobile phone. This is in thanks to the Carl Zeiss optics, but other features such as the 10x zoom also improve the snapshots. Read more

    The N82 may not have the 8GB memory of the latest N95, but it does carry a similarly heavyweight set of features plus Wi-Fi and HSDPA 3G high-speed connectivity options. Its five-megapixel camera produces arguably the best cameraphone pictures yet seen in a European mobile, and it has a very capable GPS satnav facility. But with the abilities the N82 has to offer, it’s a shame that Nokia hasn’t made its flagship candybar smart in the looks department too. Read more

    It hardly seems possible that the Nokia N82 has only been 'with us' for five months, it seems like an age, but we've managed a fair amount of coverage in that time, along with a lot of hours with the device in pockets and on belts. Read more

    So it is still the same medium-range Nseries device: - S60 3rd Edition OS 9.2 - HSDPA, 3G, EDGE & EGPRS - 2.4” QVGA TFT screen - 128MB RAM - MicroSD (2GB included) - Bluetooth 2.0 - WLAN 802.11b/g with UPnP - Micro USB 2.0 - 5MP Carl Zeiss Camera with Xenon flash - 30fps VGA MPEG4 recording - A-GPS - Stereo Speakers & FM Radio (3.5mm jack) - Nokia Battery (BP-6MT) 1050mAh Remember the N82 was first leaked back in May 2007… Since then, nothing much has changed, it has Read more

    We weren't blown away by the silver N82's looks, but the black paint job brings the phone together in a much more attractive way. Combine this makeover with the N82's 5-megapixel camera, GPS, HSDPA and Wi-Fi, and you've got one of the hottest phones to come out of Finland Read more

    • The black casing makes this N82 look much better than its silver sibling, 5-megapixel camera with xenon flash, GPS
    • Keypad can be fiddly to press at times

    Never had any problems with GPS. I don't find the hardware to be cheap. You need to get used to to keypad. Symbian programs tend to freeze or crash and that can be annoying... But all in all it's a good reliable phone. It's a decent replacement for digital camera. I have had dozen phones aside N82 in the last three years, but somehow this one is a keeper. Read more

    • Great camera with xenon flash - amazing photo quality and good video quality; clear, loud, spacious speaker sound; even better headphone sound while listening to music...
    • Symbian, battery life is so so...

    I bought this phone about 6 months ago and I like it so much that I just wanted to write a review and give it some props. The photo quality is the main reason I bought this phone and it does not disappoint. The photo quality rivals my $350 sony camera, since getting this phone I don't even carry around a separate camera anymore. A minor complaint is that this phone is not very flashy. Read more

    • Awesome phone. Excellent picture quality and media handling. Very little about this phone does not rock.

    Once these bar-phones were very popular - of course nowadays, we can't really fit a 4 inch touch screen with a keypad (unless you're Blackberry and decide to fit a mid-size screen with QWERTY keypad). In the era of candy bar phones, I have to say this was one of the best phones I've ever used. Please also remember this is only a user review, not a technical or expert review. I'm only citing how I felt about the phone, and its performance in relation to my expectations. Read more

    • Does what it needs to do very very well.

    I had this mobile 2 years ago and it's still working as if I just bought it :) although i had a problem with the internal speaker and i had to use the external one (loud-speaker) to be able to make calls but I fixed it for like 10 $ so it's ok now! This phone can support many applications and it doesn't make it any slower and the battery last - even after 2 years of use - for a long time!! Read more
