One of the biggest issues with the Series 60 was its slow interface. Most
Nokia phones (barring the mammoth E90 Communicator) skimped on RAM. With the
N82, Nokia has finally delivered a device that has got every feature that you
could want, and it works really fast too.
This silver phone (black will be coming soon) has a designer rear, whereas
the front has a reflective glossy surface. The beautiful and sharp screen has
the same dimensions as the N73, but appears larger due to some clever design.
The keypad incorporates the slim key design; the keys provide good tactile
feedback but are not great for heavy texting. Apart from the built-in GPS, WiFi,
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and 3G capabilities, there are some great new additions.
The built in accelerometer automatically adjusts screen orientation (in any
mode) depending on how you hold it. The one touch multimedia key gives instant
access to photos, videos, maps, contacts, Internet bookmarks and games. On the
top, it has a 3.5 mm jack which can be connected to any headphones or the
supplied TV-out cable.

The N82 is the first Nokia phone to feature a 5 MP camera with Xenon flash.
The flash is strong, infact better than the one on the SE K850i. Coupled with
the Zeiss lens, the camera takes amazing pictures; currently the best in the
camera phone category. Plus, the camera starts in just 2 seconds flat. The lens
is protected by an active slider lens cover.
The GPS works well and locks on in about a minute with clear skies. It comes
with Nokia Maps and a 3 month navigation package. If you want to use
voice-assisted navigation beyond that, you'll have to pay a hefty sum (about Rs
4,000 for a year). Probably the only quirks with this phone is that the microUSB
slot still cannot be used to charge via a PC and the lens cover is prone to
dust.
Overall, it's a perfect smartphone, though with new announcements at Mobile
world Congress, a lot of competition is on the way.
