Nokia N82 retail box

Nokia N82 retail box

The Nokia N82 continues to extend the line of Nseries devices with another innovation, the Xenon flash. The N82 has all the latest wireless connectivity options, with the exception of the North American 3G networks. The 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics takes very good photos and 30 fps video. The N82 is available now in the U.S. from the Nokia site as an unlocked device for US$564.

The Nokia N82 has a decent capacity battery and with the EDGE connectivity it has been getting me through two days with no problem.

This is the smallest A/C adapter I have seen for a Nseries device and I hope this is the trend for the future.

The device has a glossy black finish, but doesn’t really seem to collect fingerprints.

The keypad appears quite small at first, but after an hour or two of usage it is easy to use and works well.

There are a few buttons above the keypad so you can easily navigate and use the device with a single hand.

You can take a self portrait with the front facing camera, but you cannot use it to make video calls like you can in Europe. The light sensor automatically adjusts the display brightness.

I was pleased to see the return of the physical shutter on the N82 since it helps protect the lens from scratches and dirt.

When you slide the shutter open, the camera application launches so you can take photos right away.

In closed mode, the N82 is longer than the N81 8GB. As you can see they appear similar in design and appearance.

When you slide open the N81 8GB it is much longer than the N82. I like the slider design since it hides and protects the keypad.

While Opera Mini 4.1 is only a Java application, it works almost like a native application and is my favorite way to browse.
