Since Asia is scared of the number 4, N82-4 will never happen. -2,-3 or -5 might though.]]>Dec 21st 2007 2:15AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/Dec 18th 2007 2:51PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/
As it is I still think it is a better device than the N95 8GB. I don't subscribe to this 'I can't show it off to anyone on the bus' philosophy. Try and show any phone off here in London and see whether you have one to speak on afterwards!

It looks good, has the Xenon flash, a protected lens!, has 3G and HSDPA (here in the UK anyway), and what with the added support for swappable microSD (SDHC) cards expandable up to 32Gig!!!, what more could you ask for apart from a bigger screen maybe!!]]>Dec 19th 2007 7:34AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/Dec 18th 2007 7:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/We used it in a car in Italy (Milan - north of Lake Como). Not sure if these are good results, but for our expectation it was very good both in town and out in the mountains.]]>Dec 19th 2007 7:18AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/and it's as fast as the N95 8GB, it takes better and the GPS is faster gettting a locking sometimes after 5 seconds. This phone is just amazing, just wish it had a larger screen , media keys and Naviwheel.

I am a new Nokia N82 user just for a few days. Now my phone works great. I have just tested N82 for some of the internal features it supports. I find that a-GPS and orientation sensor work fine. GPS on battery life is significantly better. I even find that Nokia N82 delivers remarkably vivid photographs, even in low-light conditions. That's really fantastic. Now owning this smart phone is not a big problem. I found it with a good price here: http://dealstudio.com/searchdeals.php?deal_id=73568 , I am sure that if you like Nokia, this one will be a good choice for you. ]]>Dec 19th 2007 9:12AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/
Flashlight mode?
USB charging?
HSDPA compatible with Fido?

Thanks!]]>Dec 19th 2007 12:28PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/Dec 19th 2007 2:40PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/Besides, data in Canada costs 85000 dollars for 1 meg. 3G would be a nightmare.]]>Dec 21st 2007 2:16AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/
Actually the $10 for $12 mb plan from Fido makes it worthwhile (barely).

The thing that is the real killer here is lack of a touchscreen.. I can't imagine using a mapping app without one. What do you do, move around with the direction keys? Do you making driving sounds too? Mmmrrrmmmm..... Mrmrrrmmm... Mrrmmmmm.. Mrrrummrmrrmmmrrmrm.... maybe they could combine it with an ngage game.

And about the USB charging, for some reason haven't seen fit to extend that feature beyond their S40s yet, probably soon.

I'm really tempted by this but with feature pack 2 just around the corner (apparently it's really fast and has subtle transition effects, which I think really makes a phone feel solid) and S60 v4 + Touch coming next summer I just can't convince myself to part with the money. I already have an N93 and this is just the same really except better in every way, but still the same functionality mostly. Except the GPS of course.]]>Dec 22nd 2007 7:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/A couple of (very minor) negative points comparing to the N95:
1) the remote control that comes in the box doesn't allow to control the music player (has only volume control and start/end conversation buttons). No biggie, I ordered the Nokia AD-43, which is reported to work with the N82.
2) it has a micro-USB port instead of a mini-USB one. Although there's a cable included in the box, it's one of the first few devices which use micro-USB, so finding another cable if you lose this one is currently a problem. This should solve itself as micro-USB becomes more widespread.]]>Dec 23rd 2007 2:59PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/Dec 28th 2007 9:53AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/12/18/nokia-n82-hands-on/Dec 28th 2007 1:55AM
