Key points about the phone:
The N82 features a 5 mega pixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics. This is the same camera module as that found in the N95. Instead of an LED based flash the N82 has a Xenon based flash. This is more powerful and should give better picture in low light situations. The camera is also reportedly much faster to start and to capture pictures.

Nokia describe it as the 'best cameraphone on the market' and a 'creditable alternative to stand alone cameras'. The camera also supports shooting video (at VGA resolution at up to 30 fps). There is an on device editor for both still images and video (video editing more basic than N95). Camera specifications are:


CMOS sensor, 5 megapixel (2592 x 1944), Carl Zeiss Tessar lens
F number/Aperture: F2.8
Focal length: 5.6 mm
Focus range 10cm - infinity
Macro focus distance: 10-50 cm



Nokia highlight the sharing capabilities of the phone. The N82 will ship with Share Online pre-installed. This allows for one click upload to Flickr and other web services. There's also the usual XpressPrint support which allows you to print photos via Bluetooth (to supported printers) or via USB (PictBridge compatible printers). You can also order prints online directly from your phone.


There's an on board accelerometer to enable automatic rotation of the user interface. When you turn the phone from portrait to landscape orientation the UI will automatically change (user configurable). This is also used to automatically rotate photos to the correct orientation when you capture them.


The screen is a 2.4 inch QVGA screen with support for 16 million colours. (This is smaller than the N95 (2.6 inches) and the N95 8GB (2.8 inches), but the phone is smaller overall than both of these devices.


The phone weighs in at 114g and has dimensions of 112 x 50.2 x 17.3 mm (90cc in volume). This phone is similar in size and shape to the Nokia N73 (110 x 49 x 19 mm).


The phone includes a built in GPS (with support for assisted-GPS to give fast satellite / location lock on times). Nokia Maps is pre-installed and the phone comes with a free trial of the voice guidance portion of Nokia Maps.


The phone has a 3.55mm audio jack for listening to music. This is also used for the TV-Out function. The phone ships with a wired headset (HS-43). There are integrated stereo speakers, along with an FM radio, support for both Windows Media DRM and OMA DRM 1.0/2.0 specifications


There is 100MB of dynamic internal memory and a microSD (SDHC is supported) card slot for memory expansions. A 2GB microSD card card is included in the sales package (this may vary by market).


The phone's connectivity options include quad-band GSM, WCDMA at 2100 MHz (European / Asian bands), and WiFi (802.11 b/g) inlcuding support for UPnP connectivity.


The usual Bluetooth support is on board including support for the AVRCP and A2DP profiles. There is no IrDA port.


PC connectivity is provided by a micro USB port. The phone supports USB Mass Storage and Windows Media Transfer protocol.


The phone uses the Nokia BP-6MT with a capacity of 1050 mAh.


The N82 is available immediately in key markets (Europe, Middle East and Asia). The unsubsidised prices in 450 Euros before tax (around £315). You can therefore expect a high street price of around £370-£400 initially (based on 17.5% tax).

I still love N95 8GB, better bigger screen and looks nicer too, IMHO. I am never a Nokia fan until N95 came out, one of the reason I don't like Nokia is because of the look of the phone, haha.

Yup, basically what N95 can do, N82 can too except for the IrDA, bigger screen and better looking. N95 is not much bigger than N82 too, N95 is not that big, it's actually pretty sleek (but chunky on the side, hehe) for it's capability. But this is all personal preferences.

N95 & N95 8GB can have that auto rotate function with the aide of 3rd party application, Nokmote. The hardware is pre-ready for this capability.
N82 has longer battery life because of the small screen, big screens eats battery.

And yes, N82 is cheaper or course, the launched price could be same or lower than the current price of N95 (the old one).

Oh well, I would say if you like the look of this phone than N95 or N95 8GB, you should get it. Because based on my personal preferences, I like the look of N95 8GB better than both N95 and N82

I think it will be cheaper than the old N95 current price, about RM2200 authorised set, right?
The free RAM is as much as N95 8GB then, if you said it's 90MB, the old N95 free RAM does suck (one of the reason why I waited for the 8GB version).

After checking all the comments etc, this phone is not trying to top N95 (old) or the new 8GB, but more like direct competition with that K850i. Which sadly, the k850i will loose. Nokia will not make phones to compete with their own phones because they dont really care, anyway people will still buy their brands. BUT most importantly is to get people to buy more Nokia than other phones.

I'll say the price maximum would be RM2500.
Is it out yet? any news when this will be out?

I would agree that it is better than N95 the old one but not the current N95 N95 8GB version is at least as good as N82 if not better, that's what I think.
Personally, if if you put N95 8GB side by side with N82, I still choose N95 8GB for the looks and the screen. It's so better looking than N82 IMHO, but that's my personal preferences of course. The camera quality of N82 is as good as both N95, it only wins when you use the xenon flash, which is a shame not to have it with both N95 models.

Anyone just check out how much this phone is selling now. If it is about the same price like the old N95, might as well take N82 unless of course you can spend a bit more, u can always get N95 8GB, hahaha!

yeah yeah... that' what I heard about the miniSDHC, same like old N95, ppl are also talking about having extra space up to 16GB!!
But I have this one Q, could the RAM survive the big memory? Can it handled it? For the old N95, it's bad enough lagging for 2GB leh. Maybe for N82, it'll be the same response time of Nokia N95 8GB when u use 8GB miniSDHC?

One thing I kinda dislike the built in 8GB flash in N95 8GB is when u want to update firmware. Need to back up so long esp when u have a lot stored already If card easy just take out, hehe.

I hope someone buy this phone and write a review.
