Thread: Nokia N82 Mobile Phone

For those who don't have the moolah to buy the N95 8GB, or want something more compact the N82 will appeal. For one it's solidly built, although the keypad is very cramped and will take some getting used to, even if you happen to have long nails. Feature wise it's identical to its costlier sibling, but loses out on the slick double slider and adds a much needed powerful Xenon flash. Although the screen isn't as good as the N95 8GB, what is appreciated is the compactness of this device, and the fact that Nokia managed to fit everything into a shell that is 25 percent smaller in volume.



Although the N82 may have the same hardware but it looks and feels different enough to have a unique personality. For one, its music quality isn't as good as the N95 8GB-which it will be inevitably be compared to. Secondly, and more importantly, signal and voice quality isn't as good as its costlier sibling, and the keypad isn't much fun either-Nokia needs to take a lesson from some of the Sony Ericsson phones when it comes to designing costly phones' keypads. A small gripe, but a gripe nonetheless. The average college kid will still be happy flashing this phone around, and with its build quality it should weather daily usage well.
