Seriously, if you're in tight budget I can't think of a reason why you can't shell out RM1800 (AP) for this phone if you're hardworking to do some part time job for like 2 months...

Or insterested in installment? Although in the end will be more expensive but you can slowly pay back.

I think for the price, nothing can beat N82 yet, not even N95 8GB cause it's RM500 more expensive (that is, if you don't include buying 8GB microSD).

Agreed!!!

If N95 8GB have XENON Flash, it will be like killing N82 Sales.....

Very clever of Nokia.

Maybe no space for them to include the xenon to the N95 8GB...

em...maybe i'll take ur advice n work part time 2 save $$$... soon i'll join u ppl... the Owners of N82
anyway... any harm in getting ap N82??

You can do less part time but in longer run to pay the installment. Although not recommended cause wills till rugi in a long run.

Actually best to ask your parents to buy for you first, then slowly you pay them back. Your parents are always there to help you out.

If you cannot take heart attack like manually change the product code or if you want chinese strokes but there's none on the keypad, or scare if something spoiled have to claim warranty but the company don't accept, you should buy the Avaxx set then.

I buy AP because I have a full time job and can take care of the repairs of damages (touch wood...), moreover the difference of RM500 I paid less compared to Avaxx set can use to repair the phone lo. Actually, in longer run if phone no damage, I can use the extra RM500 to change the housing (in the future) so I'll have a brand new phone again.

Also luckily Zitron sell the keypad to me so I can change to the one with chinese stroke one, and I reinstalled the firmware to malaysia version by Nokia Care Center for RM30 (you can DIY anyway). Now my unit looks no different from the Avaxx set.

As usual, aware of any tattoo on the phone like Vodafone Orange etc etc...

By the way one thing worth noting is that Zitron is generous enough to sell you original parts, they don't try to rip you off with expensive labour charge (don't mistaken with Nokia Care Center, they won't sell you parts). Also they don't seems to charge you extra if yours is AP set. I went to SE service center at Tmn Segar, I asked if I bring over AP set to repair, they said they'll charge full price whereas authorized set can enjoy 20% discount of the repair charges.

off topic....

DIGI went offline now in Shah Alam SK16, totally no line bar at all showing in my phone.

I have just installed the beta version, ran the program but unable to activate it because the shortcut button require to activate it is the "pen/pencil button" + "c" and i was wondering what the heck does the pen button means. then only i realize that the button only exist on n95 and not n82 any idea how can i simulate this "pen" button? lol! this is dumb

off topic reply:

sure? I am at Shah Alam now as well..But mine full bar...

The pen key in N82 is the # key now..Try Hold the # key then it will become pen key..

2 more differences i forgot to mention between N95-8GB and N82. The Lense cover and the price.

N95-8GB is a good buy also. I nearly bought myself one. After seeing and waiting a year N95, then got black edition built in 8GB and got spiderman3 somemore. the looks is 2x wow than the N95. But as i said, i chose N82 because of candybar. Compare the picture of the black N82 is not so wow. IMHO not worth waiting for.

shgx700 - go to Nokia Center (but not all, sunway pyramid can. but need to check they have stock first.) Buy it at RM2599. got 0% installments for 12 months. same thing buying ori cash can get 2.3k-2.5k. IMHO buy ori. u chunk out 2k of your hard earned money tapi u are afraid day n night bcoz its AP. why not add a bit more and rest assured it has zitron warranty. not a cheap thing to take a risk. if RM600 hp can la....


BUY BUY BUY

digital camera ~500
digicam dvd ~1599
hand held gps ~1200
pda with doc reader and wifi ~1500
...... the list goes on.

can get RM2k++??

Me too, i choose N82 because of candybar as well...dun feel is good to fix the N95 slider problem (by putting plaster in it ) just like what shown on Youtube. After all, its still depends on individual..

Agreed with statement bold 2, it's recommend to get an ORI for such an expensive device. Not saying AP is not good, but the extra is like paying for assurance lo.. . Again its still depends on individual..

NewKid, u forgotten a "big beg" to put all the things you mentioned above when go out..

You have to install the Pen+C emulator for the N82.

Get it here.

It's unsigned, so you need to sign it in order to be able to install it. But I guess you already know that, since you've already installed the Nokmote Beta on your phone To use it, launch Nokmote first, then go into your Apps folder, then launch the Pen+C emulator, and Nokmote will activate.

Honestly, after using my N95 8GB for 1 1/2 month now, the slider doesn't need a fix in any kind. It's just hold up everyday use quite well up to date, and I of course hoped it'll perform well before its successor launch.

There's no reason why N82 cannot while N95 can.

Can'd download..

reason: You have reached the download-limit for free-users

can share in any alternative place??

Well, it will and it happens to all slides phone...

Actually the main concern on using 8GB mem card is the speed...

disagree... it will happen to all non-candy bar design phone

Aiyo don't curse us la my friend...

At least, it's the N95 classic that need repair (and shown on the video), but not the latest N95 8GB cause the built quality has been improved quite a lot since then...

But still have to admit, non-candy bar phone will have higher chance to get spoiled...

Depends. If u take care of your phone. U put it gently down every time. Slide it gently everytime. take good care of it like an egg, it will last. at least up to the point u can buy another phone.
