yeah legendary phone..very good phone i can say.. 5th N82 im using right now.. Now using 2nd N82.. but housing very bad condition.. unable to get original one... hard to find.. if go to nokia centre, i guess just the housing will be around RM200...
Some asking, will you sell off your N82 for N8..? my answer is = NO! i wont sell.. i do believe other guy will do this.. N82 is fun and powerful device..

dont regret when you lost your baby.. you might need it in the future..

maybe your N8 lifespan is short... LOL

haha.. i find n82 very useful especially when inside club.. hotchicks always wanna take a snap with me

you can buy 2 slim SE battery and stick together do some soldering.. ahaha

if you want, i can make a video to guide u.. but need some $$ la of coz.. below rm50 can d.. hahha

after you update firmware, the password will still be there. unless you removed it first and then flash all new one. normally if u just did with your cable and nokia software updater, your password will still be there after reupdated ur firmware.

actually you can know you phone locker code by using a software. there's a trick. you need to google and learn it. last time my n82 2nd also got security locks and i able to change the security locks code and replace with new code. last time mine is v20 firmware, better... can hack... but got code.. after update firmware to v30 then still same, the lock code still there, i just use a trick i google from internet and successfully read the actual lock code.

want to help? try to help yourself first. not everything is ready for u. Uncle google pls.

last time i remember if full format with cable its working. but my last n82 not work. so i have to use my software to read it.
