Nokia N82

The Nokia N82 is a smartphone announced by Nokia on November 14 2007. It is part of the company’s Nseries line of smartphones which features the N-Gage gaming platform and the Nokia Music store (where available). The N82 runs Symbian OS v9.2 based S60 3rd Edition platform with Feature Pack 1. It has a 5 megapixel camera and is the first Nokia phone with xenon flash.

The Nokia N82 mobile phone has a 5.0-Megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens Xenon flash for ultra-brightness and a secondary camera for 3G video calling.

Instead of repeating all of the things that we talked about in our N95 review, let’s focus on the differences between the N82 and N95. Probably the most significant difference is the price: the N82 should retail for around £150 less than the N95.

The phone clearly bears a striking resemblance to its recently announced cousin — the N81 slider — but the N82 ups the ante with a 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens paired with autofocus (naturally) and a xenon flash. Other features include microSD expansion, support for Nokia’s own Ovi goodies, WiFi, assisted GPS, a 2.4 inch QVGA display front and center, and an honest-to-goodness 3.5mm headphone jack like the N95 before it. The GSM / EDGE radio does the quadband thing, but HSDPA’s available only on the 2100MHz band — so North Americans with an appetite for data need not apply. Others can buy the N82 starting today for about €450 ($657).

This is a quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900 cell phone with international 3G compatibility via 2100 MHz, and EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA
