Here's the latest in my series about taking older, classic (2008 or before) hardware and finding out how far it can be taken to work to best effect in the modern day. You'll have seen the features on the Nokia E61i and E90 - now here's Pimping the Nokia N82 - a quirkily styled candybar that sat at the top of Nokia's hardware tree for ages - and in some ways still does.
"My Nokia N82 journey has been a long and slightly twisted one, if I'm honest. At first, I hated the styling (mainly the buttons, colouration and d-pad). I then tried the black version (shown here), which rectified the colouration issue and Nokia had tweaked the build to fix the d-pad problem - and I ended up almost reversing my position. This last article was exactly two years ago though - an absolute eternity in the smartphone world."
