Nokia N82 is one of the top end, feature packed n-series phones from Nokia. It is a cross between the N73 and the N95 – form factor of the N73 combined with the features of N95. The highlight of the N82 is its excellent camera. It can easily replace one of those pocket digital cameras people carry. When compared to a stand-alone digital camera, the only thing you will miss from the N82 is perhaps the optical zoom.
Now for the important question – should you buy the N82? Hmmm, before I try to answer this question, let me list the Pros and Cons of this phone.
Pros
- N95 in a pocketable size
- Excellent digital camera
- On board GPS
- Expandable memory with micro SD card slot
- S60 v3 FP1
- Choice of great applications
Cons
- Tiny keys on the keypad.
- Plasticky feel
- Small screen size
Surely, Nokia doesn’t believe in ‘one size fits all’ theory compared to some other mobile phone vendors. Looking at the spec sheet, it is hard to tell the difference between the N95 and the N82.
When it comes to the buying decision, choose the N82 if you are looking for a good camera phone with decent music support. On the other hand, if you want a good internet, movie watching and music listening experience, go with the N95 8GB.
If you are on a budget, choose the N82 as it costs significantly less than the N95 8GB. If you have the cash, then perhaps you can even the skip the N95 8GB and wait for the mother of all phones, the Nokia N96 – which is just a few weeks away from reaching a retailer near you.

The N96 is nothing but the N958GB with a hiked up memory and an extra LED…as long as there’s no Xenon flash to compete with the N82, it makes more sense to go for either the n82 0r n95…me, i love my N958Gb with the big screen, the music, the camera ( and who care about shutters! i got both InvisibleShield and Martin Fields on my phone…full body+ cam proctection)
