Nokia N82 review: Comes with xenon

10 December 2007
Nokia N82 is considered the next N-series bestseller and, guess what, it has already hit the shelves. Following the sweeping success of Nokia N73, it was a pretty sure bet that a worthy successor wouldn’t take long to appear. As we see it, Nokia N82 fits...

    Yeah right. Go and re-work the sucky photos taken by SE camera, upload them one by one and edit them with photoshop one by one. You SE guys are so pro, can bring a no detail photos and use photoshop bring them back to life. ;)

    We Nokia noobs only need to shot, view and send. Sooooooooo simple...

        Sef, why don't people like u just accept the fact that N82 is better than k850i? isnt it hard for u? there's nothing wrong if you SE Fanatics be a sport sometimes =)
        i think nokia really exert an effort and deserve to be on top again after loosing cam battle to SE during k750i-K800 days..

          anyway on the first Flash Pic(the portrait) N82's ISO is 800, that's why it appear too bright and way brighter than K850.

          Now tell me N82 has better Flash than K850. Dream on!

            Another thing i notice is the exessive artifacts under N82's Flash pics - a clear evident that Nokia N82 boost ISO too much than the usual and they again are using tricks to fool people especially GSMArena.

            Again, Nokia's biggest trick of the year 2007 lol

              GSMArena guys are funny have they looked at the ISO rating of both two phones? N82's flash pic(the doll) rated an ISO 400 which is twice as high as the K850s now. that's what you call better Flash? Lol

                  What surprised me is the screen is not as bright and color washed out compared to the N95 8GB, further set both apart and does their own job very well - N95 8GB for a multimedia phone and N82 for a camera phone.

                  Although my initial priority is --> Battery life --> Screen Size --> Camera. But, I felt so lonely when everyone is taking pictures with xenon flash either digi cam or SE K series during a night party. Lack of xenon flash really damn the phone too damn much for a happy moment like that. :"(

                  Nokia! Next will be N95 + Xenon flash + even better battery will ya? Oh yeah, don't take the damn LED out it's still useful for video!! ;)

                    a small comment about the 3D Snakes game: it was first released for N-Gage QD, a few months after the device launch.

                            Very nice, but i would like to see a more extended gallery of pictures with the use of flash and AF.

                                  mine has a bug where the clock and date reset every time i restart the phone. am i missing out on a setting, or do i just have to wait for a firmware upgrade fix? and has this happened to the n95 as well in the past?

                                    i'm a SE fan... and i'm so with my K850... but the N82 gave me a feeling that i'll betray SE :P

                                      i still think the E series is cooler... i would still choose NOKIA E51 over the N82..... bt thats jst my opinion
