Guys, sorry I'm lazy and no time of browsing all the post. I need some practical answer. I wanted to change my SE G900 to this n82 adi lar, I fed up with my G900 adi after using my fren's n82. Seriously.... Tell you guys one thing, touchscreen for better web browsing? Bullshit! Comparing G900 and N82 web browsing experience, n82 is way way better due to a much faster processor.

Ok, sorry for complaining so much. Guys, just wanted to ask whether n82 battery life can last 2 days without switching off? My usage is about 40 sms per day, 15 mins call time, gaming + wifi about 30 mins per day + 10 photos capturing with or without flash. So is it possible? Need answer fast!

Hey thx for the reply guys. I still dilemma of switching my G900 to n82 since the battery life is that bad. I'm someone who can cope with super low setting to squeeze battery juice from phone, so I can bear with those settings. I hope It can help for lasting 2 days.

Just sold my G900 and here comes my n82. Pls add me to the list. thx!

However, it's still in Personal Warranty period, the previous owner might switch back with me within this 3 days but I hope not. hehe.

Anyway, I'm quite disappointed with the image viewer. At first, I was amazed by the speed of n82 for viewing picture like instant. After I plugged into my pc, I saw the phone actually generate thumbnails for picture. No wonder it's so fast... and I was like wtf....

It's kinda weird. My phone shown 6 bars of battery. Then i usb transfer with my pc. (Extremely slow)About 30 mins of transferring. I pull out and my battery turn to 2 bars. I was like wtf... then I take 3 pics with flash, straight away low battery. Then i try restart the phone but it seems like the battery really low jor. sigh... the battery life really....wtf lo

lol... the battery kinda suck compare to SE. But I think firmware will help in increase battery life. But 1200mah battery? I dun think so. Since n82 has been in market for quite some time. Nokia marketing strategy will only benefit new phone but not improving old model phone's hardware. This will only be produce by third party manufacturer. Perhaps firmware is the best solution. Guys got any idea that n82 can increase batt life next firmware ? ^^ I mean if u have a good concept can tell nokia, mayb they pay u hehe ^^

For the forummer up stair. I just switched from SE G900 to n82 black.

For short summary,
Battery - G900
SE interface - G900 (This can be very subjective)
Torch function - G900
Everything else is n82.

This comparison is kinda short I know but I have filtered all the possibility out there.

I have one month plus of G900 experience and few years of SE phone experience and I think I'm capable to speak for this matter.

- If you think 208mhz is enuff, yes 208mhz can be very powerful but to think of Symbian UIQ 3.0. The OS sucks. Only buy that if SE upgrade it to 300mhz and above.
- If you think of 128mb ram is good in G900? No, it only improves if u compare to older model like M600i and etc. The OS itself ruined the power of 128mb ram.
- If you think touchscreen is important, you're wrong. G900 has no touch sensitive panel. Meaning both left and right softkeys must be press at the touchscreen. Accidentally over press softkey might happened everyday. If you think touchscreen is good for browsing, I'll tell u touchscreen is bullshit. I can say beside iPhone like touchscreen, every touchscreen phone is bull shit. Especially in G900, if u browse internet with default browser, you'll ended up using ur d-pad to browse. And as you know, G900 keypad is even sucker than n82. So you'll ended up frustrated of using touchscreen. ***IF you're kind of person who press handphone very fast***

Anything I missed out?

**I'm not bashing G900. Those are just wat i've been through. Sigh, I hope I won't jeopardizes the person who bought my G900. It's still a great phone compare to older phone SE symbian phone. And I'm still a SE fan.

Guys, I know this might be illegal but you guys might be the best to explain these stuff.

Why there is sign and unsigned stuff with symbian phone? What are the difference and how do we know? It's be bothering me quite sometimes. I would have read the chinese forum for explanation but streamyx nowadays doesn't allow me to surf hong kong forum that explain those stuff. Anyway, it's explanation only rite? No harm. What is signed, unsigned, hsipda, binpda and all those unknown terms. Anyone?

Ic... thx for answering my question. I know what to do next. ^^

GUYS!!! How unlucky of me these days. Yesterday I was changing my pant for badminton in toilet. And accidentally fall my n82 on the floor. That was like 1m height. And the result is the front upper part of the phone. (Near the right side of the screen) cracked. WTF.... now I'm thinking of changing the housing. How much do they usually charge for super high quality housing? And how's the quality of it?

Weird thing, dunno whether it's because of the fall, my phone auto shutdown for no reason in my pocket. However this only happened once just now. You guys having this problem b4?

anyone can help with the housing?

Norns, I think it's SDHC (SD high capacity) and it's called class 4. Class 4 means either read or write speed is 4MB/s which is quite fast adi. Correct me if i'm wrong. ^^

Guys thank for the opinion. I think i'll go for garage sales to survey on the housing price. ^^

ya.... now i think n85 pawning. N79 is just a mid end phone like n78. If the buttons are good my next phone will be n85.

i would choose n85 over all the phones in the market ler. Since n82 is such a wonder phone, n85 has almost all the best of n82 except the xenon flash but a bigger OLED screen (save battery life) and 1200mah battery. I wait till n85 drop like current n82 price then i grab one for myself. BUT we all must remember to test by ourselves and dun forget the review. ^^

lol.... u can't be too sure about that. 5 years is a little too long. Since it's only cover the disadvantages of n82, n85 didn't give us some new technology which will increase it's product life. I'll give it 2 years of product life or even less. Android is coming out and symbian v3 is here for years adi, it's about time to change to v4 if there is. So at the end, n82 can still die with n85. I think....

Ermm about the audio quality of n82, I dun think it's good. I've been using SE for years and Sony's audio quality is the best. I dun talk about the built in speaker of the phone, wat i mean is using external speaker and great headphone. With same external hardware, n82 produce only average sound quality comparing my previous phone, w810i and G900. For audio hardcore that really mind about superb audio quality, n82 is not ur choice. *peace*

This one i dunno that's why i only comment on n82 audio quality ^^

It's me.... I'm the one who used G900 for a month and change to n82. For those who're dilemma, now is the situation is diff adi. Coz b4 that, G900 is expensive than n82 (both AP). But after 1 month G900 released, its price drop till lower than n82. So G900 has price advantage over n82.

But to think of the useless touchscreen which creates lagness while u're browsing, super suck camera (produces dull color photos), about 150mhz lower cpu speed (n82 has dual cpu, one for app, one for camera, which G900 oni has one for everything + much slower proc), and n82 has practically bigger screen than G900 if you measure them by ruler. (G900 is about 2.36inch)

After filtering, G900 has such advantage over n82,
- Clearer speaker sound
- Better battery life
- Cheaper price (but much much lower second hand value)
- LED for torch light function
- Better sound quality

However, touch screen is not an advantage becoz it's not practical (for me).

Anyway, I didn't regret even a little bit switching from G900.

u need to "cap off" i think b4 u can access to those private folders.

Guys, wanna ask something. About the back up phone memory function in n82, when u go to check ur memory card space, wat kind of data it will backup for u? Including applications that u installed?

If i update the firmware, will my applications gone?

lol use the phone till RIP... this one funny. If size and xenon flash are not matter, I would vote for N95 8GB for better battery life, large screen, and torch function. But it's way exp than n82 and slower transfer speed.
