The Nokia N82 is definitely the current king of imaging in the Nseries family, and a serious match for most of the stand-alone point and shoot digital cameras on the market.

The build quality is phenomenal, and the battery life is top notch, as well. The Xenon flash on the N82 really makes a difference, and the auto-focusing Carl Zeiss lens make for some really nice pictures, even for printing, which is a feat for any cameraphone.

Based on everything that the N82 does, and does so well, I rate the Nokia N82 as "Highly Recommended."

I recently bought this phone (mostly for the camera features) a couple of weeks ago and it has been great. I currently have Cingular service and the sound quality is pretty good. The video quality is excellent as long as you don't zoom in too much. The pictures I took are excellent as well. Funny thing, I have the pictures set to take at maximum size BUT they range from 768 Kbytes to 1.7 Mbytes. The GPS is awesome and fast but only works with A-GPS. I will need to get an unlimited data plan because the data transfer uses EDGE or 3G $$$. I know the specs of this phone say 3G (2100mhz) only in Europe but I was clocked at 768K when downloading the GPS maps and for positioning. The wifi works really well but I can't send and receive POP3 mail through wifi, only through the EDGE or 3G wavelengths. One issue, Nokia does not have a carrying case for it, but it did come with a 2GB MicroSD card. I also downloaded the firmware updater but there are no updates for the phone(so says the software).
Great size and weight when holding it or in my pocket. This phone is light years ahead of what Cingular is offering their customers, which is a pity considering the price. I confess, I haven't finished reading the user manual front to back, but most of the functionality is easy to figure out. Still, worth the $550 I spent on it.

Quite the rant Jetsson haha. But totally justified, and very correct as well. It's really too bad those of us who own and love the n82 can't fully enjoy this forum/comments page because the rest of you love to hate on it all day. And to anyone that says "5 megapixels is not enough/not good/poor for nokia, they should have at least 10 mpx"...you know NOTHING of digital camera technology. You could put a 20mpx camera in it, but if the lens is the size of a pin head (many samsungs for example), you're still not going to get quality pics. As Jetsson said, this is an excellent point and shoot camera, nothing more, and certainly nothing less. If you want more, go SLR. If you want less, go sony k850i. I'm not trying to stir controversy, but I bought the k850i for my sister for christmas (she's a devout SE fan), and she has no problem admitting the N82 OWNS her phone in terms of pic quality. BUT, the k850 is really fun to play with, looks quite nice (I got her the green version), and attracts many compliments...but its just nowhere close to the N82.

This is the best camera phone in the market today. You only have to read reviews on here and mobileburn.com if you need the proof. I would not say its the best design but it has got the best features and camera than any other mobile phone.

Could you tell me, how much better GPS Receiver worked on N82?
I have N73, and I'm very enjoy with this one specially with dimension, but i need GPS Receiver to support my job. N95 have good GPS Receiver but size not to good in my pocket.
Thanks

Hi Hans,

I travel quite a bit and the GPS is avaailable in NL, UK and Scandinavia I have fully tested the Nokia GPS functionality and I must say that I am very much impressed. By the way since you live in NL do you know the release date of of Tomtom7 for mobile s60 3rd.

I have just tested this with Divx player from divx.com with 8 gb card and 3x 600-900mb about 1.5 hours of movies.
The phone is really fast and plays really well, sound is really loud from the speakers.

Also, note I have about 4gb of music in it and some office documents. Still the phone operates flawlessly!!!

Thanks and Maligayan Pasko, Gellukige Nieuw Jaar, Gott Nytt År and have a Happy New Year!

I got my Nokia N82 today and I must say that I am very impressed with it. This mobile has everything that I desire in a mobile phone. I have no issue with the size of the N82, it's the same as the SE K850i, it's just a tad taller the the K850i. It feels lighter then the SE K850i. I am a SE and Nokia mobile user, each brand offers me what I want in a mobile, I do prefer the menu settings of Nokia over SE but I don't hate or compare either brand as each brand offers people their individuality in what they need in a mobile. I don't understand why people get on here declaring this, declaring that. Lets just stick to what a forum is all about (a information highway for people to seek information out on something prior to a purchase)and leave all the hatred out of it. If we wanted a forum where children can get on and b*@#h, I'm sure gsmarena would set up a seperate forum.
Anyhows people, hope you all had a great xmas and that you all have a safe new year.

Craig
