I still think the N82 is by far the best phone featurewise out currently.
Its made up all the short comings of the N95s, card slot, lens cover, bigger battery etc, and had I not known about the upcoming phones, is a model Id next go for.
Quick note about the screen size - you have to take a reduction for candybar phones. Otherwise you simply cannot fit a keypad AND large screen on. Unless of course, you make it very long.
I think the upcoming black version will improve things vastly, although the cheap looking buttons will still remain.

So frustrated !!!!!
So frustrated !!!!!!!!!!
After reading all these positive reviews I had so much expectations (I loved the N73 so I was an easy target!).
I bought the N82 2 days ago and am extremely frustrated, and the customer hotline did not give a .....!
Feeling hopeless I registered to My Nokia to send a feedback as a last attempt to get someone care about my issue.
I still hope they live by the standard that every customer would expect from a global leader, and give them one week to provide satisfactory support (I also work in a global company that would not let a customer that dissatisfied).
If they do (or they don't), I will keep you posted so that you have the exact idea of how great this company is. Or is not.
Stay tuned !

Critical bull
This is critical bull. This phone is cool to look at and cool to use and has crazy features. This reviewer is on crack. What's so cool about the IPhone anyways? The freaking thing has the same features that a phone from 2001 had. Oh but wait, only the Americans think it's "so cool". Since, in America, GSM technology and phones are in the stone age compared to Europe.

perfect comment from Steve on N82 and more...
I had N82 yesterday and I see that most of the comments from Steve has too much right!!!!!
Today I will try my chance to return it, let's see what will come out
I will not mention about the superior features of the phoen that you can already find everywhere!
I will mention annoying parts of the phone; which are 3 main as I see:
1--> loose&spongier side cover which has light leakage and also lets you to see interior connection points from the tiny space which gives you very cheap and unsettled design image -- THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ONLY GET AFTER BUYING :((( unfortunately! i want to cry!
2--> nearly impossible to place it on any surface during shooting in TIMER MODE!!!!!!!!! VERY BIG DESIGN FAILURE FOR SUCH 5MP CAMERA-PHONE!!!! - what? shall I carry tripod with me...hahahaaha, keeping myself not to swear to designers!
3--> picture is relatively quite good within its range HOWEVER there is a big problem in dimensional structuring of the taken photos. sometimes you feel like picture is taken from a very narrow lens which changes the dimensions of the objects inside!!!!!!!!! -- BELEIVE ME ITS TRUE! on other words it does not give true sizes in some areas in the picture (squeezing)
--> stereo speaker quality is below my expectations - strong but not clear sound as it is in sony-erc. or samsung
HOWEVER, some points are above expectations; like:
--> these tiny keypad gives quite comfort and accuracy during typing!
--> screen size is suffucient unlike comments since it has very clear resolution!
last words ---- NOKIA CONTINUES TO DISAPPOINTING ME SINCE LAST FEW YEARS!!!!!! which makes me question to its position in market!!!!!!

They blew it
Couldn't agree more! n82 and n95 8gb could have been killer mobiles but they blew it. Personaly I think that Apple will take over high end market with the next iphone

I agree that somethings are unbelievable, not only in the N82 in particular but across the new nokias.
- Why 2 lines for the messages again? Why not give the user to choose??
- why there's no posibility to choose what you want in the active stand-by screen. right now i have to have search, calnedar entries and WLAN search. It's getting over crowded. afterall it's just a QVGA resolution here. I can't see all my appointments because of that. couldn't we choose in some Active Screen settings what to show and not to?
- The new music player interface. Looks good, the names of the songs are bigger etc, but why did you remove the name of the next song from it?
And this are just a few points.

Slightly off topic, but
Does the N82 Xenon flash mean you don't have any light at all during video recording.
I ask because I assume you can have the LED on for video recording with an N95.
Don't own either yet, but looking to get one to compliment my N810 (excellent hardware, browser etc. but no pim "yet").
Thanks,
Zuber

What about the quality of the plastic? If I'm not mistaken, in the first picture of the review, looks like the upper part near the earpiece, the paint already faded away. The quality of the paint in Nokia recent handset is quite concerning.

Its all personal opinion there isn't actually anything wrong with the phone and this phone is cool unlike the Idiotphone.
Its obvious why Nokia is releasing apparent "half-baked" mobiles all to do with money.
But still i would rather have a half-baked nokia than a microwaved apple.

I know where all of the above comments are coming from, but for me, this is the N73 done right, and it wasn't as bad as many of you make out. I still look at the N73 and think if it had a 3.5mm jack and a d-pad instead of a nipple, I'd take it back in an instant. The fact is, the tacky plastic casing was one of the reasons mine lasted so long. Metal casings are heavy and transfer damage to delicate insides, whereas plastic makes it light and resilient and keeps the screen and circuitry safe.
I just wish you could hold it like a phone to take pictures. When did it become such a problem to let us press the centre button to take a snap?!

Krisse,
another great comment from you! I agree.
Look, Nokia does more market research than arguably any other cell/mobile phone company. They are using a fairly sophisticated segmenting/target user approach. The product manager of N82 said that the N82 is targeted at the "Technology Stylist" (or something like that) segment. This means that, krhm, even most of the AAS readers are not the target audience. So in N82 case, I guess, style (whether you like it or not) has equal importance to function - and the style has to work for 2-3 years without starting to look horribly old. The Technology Stylists (?? Bang Olufsen buyers??) may well think the N82 looks fantastic, and will not care too much about small usability inconveniences..
For many an AAS reader N95 may therofore remain the phone of choise - they/we have to wait for a faster camera and a xenon flash in the next model. Or the one after that.. or... well, when the next phone targeting their/our segment hits the streets!

Its interesting how Nokia E-series and their numbered phones (given relative price point) are so well made and the N-series is hit and miss - at best.
They can do it but not on their flagship models.
Wierd.

With regards to the free 3 months sat nav. In the manual its states to just hit purchase and any free usage period will automatically be used before it then requests you to buy. I did this and no payment options etc.. came up it just started working, so I guess thats how they are implementing it rather than with a voucher. The gps is great aswell, it gets a lock in under 10 seconds which is great compared to my MDA Compact 3 which can take several minutes some times. I would also like to add I think the screen is fine for multimedia use and is crisp and clear, if you tried to stick a 2.8" screen on a candybar phone the phone would be huge, thats the trade of for having a monoblock style of phone I suppose. On the whole I'm not a huge fan of the styling and prefer black devices if I was being honest but I am finding its growing on me.
