To clarify something about battery drain,
1) ALL SMARTPHONE power consumption about the same amount, n82 on average use last 2day is consider same rank as other phone. They are all power hungry monster.
2) Magnet on phone top/bottom of phone will not cost battery drain (so far tested 2days). As magnet on middle will drain battery is highly subjective, as nobody have proof yet.
3) I suspect memory will drain faster if there are file corruption on memory card. Something must be wrong on the Symbian OS. After solved this file corruption issue... as rite now my phone battery will last me 2days ~ back to normal (with magnet leather casing on bottom). Before this, less than 6hours battery life and the phone will slow like HELL.


Need N82 user to test this, has anyone ever feel the heat from N82???
~ During charging, yes I do.
~ Due to magnet, mayb but i unable to confirm...
~ Due to file corruption, mayb the OS will use more power for watever task like infinite loop.


Overall if the phone have no problem, i m quite happy with the battery life. Last me 2days on normal use.

and you all have to know also, N-series uses different processor compare to SE. that could be another reason.

and my father doesnt care about its battery drains.. to him, he is used to because 6230 doesnt last long (after so many years of using it and no battery replacement) as well. and so do i, my N95 8GB also last me max 2 days, but if i use wifi/3g, half day pun tak sampai...

at the end of the day.. nothing is perfect.. there is always trade off. u gain u lose
using n82 happily... snap picture.. post picture on the go.... GPS... lovely... 3310 will never do that

yes... that will be the good mindset... give and take... and live happily with the phone...

im basically happy wif the phone
juz 3-4 hours of music would completely drain the juice
sigh..tat's not quite enuf..hahah too bad

I'm using its n82 headset 3 hours is no problem....mayb left 2 or 1 bars..
But compare to n73, the battery life of n73 is quite good..

my maps cannot be used..everytime when i open the Maps it will hang and i will have top plug out my battery..any idea what's wrong?

i am trying N82 earpiece HS-43 just now. I am figuring what is the function for the centre button between increase/decrease volume. anyone know the function for that?
Do you know how can I skip track in music player using HS-43?

unfortunatly it can't be done with the hs-43... the centre button and the button below the nokia word, i'm still unsure about it, probably a skip button in the future in the next firmware...

new n82 user here black colour, original

the map 4 borneo 1 so suk lar! Places were marked wif only 1 letters...is it like this at all ?

hahaha u can try to check disk (chkdsk) your memory card, if the file is corrupt just remove the maps and redownload a new one

Only N95 headset able to skip track, i think it is HS-45...

i discover the headset function mayb can be program by music player, but till now nobody program it yet
if u try Nokia default Music Plyr and LCG Jukebox before, u will understand both of them behave differently on headset

ps: LCG Jukebox might be better player but the headset work better with Music Plyr.

if u know how to tune the Music Plyr u can have the same music experience.
if u still not satisfy with the music experience, i guess your ear need a better headset. Go for Bose... hahaha

i just want perfect music control experience

do you know how much for HS-45?

I am glad to inform that I have resell my stupid samsung i550 for the N82 Black Edition



[color=#eef4fb]

y i550w stupid? i tot u like it very much?

hahahaha...

ya lah.. that's before i got it on my own based on the reviews on the internet..

but once i own it.. from the very start i using it.. on the way back after buying the phone.. it already giving me the memory full: close any applications message!!

that time i thought it's only a coincidence but i was wrong.. during a month, i have to kept all my patience living with a phone restart almost everyday!

that's not only it.. the main component i.e. the trackball is really a nuisance!! a lot of misclick happens since it has no particular right/left/up/down direction!!

after all.. as i've said before.. i want to buy n82 but that time black edition is still unavailable in malaysia.. how sad..

you end your misery~
