Nokia N82
Another NSeries phone is the Nokia N82, which is reminiscent of the Nokia N95. N82 retained N95’s 5.0-Megapixel camera, with additional Xenon flash. The N82 is a Symbian smartphone that continues to offer the best features in mobile technology. One downside of the N82, however, is its design and many have wished that it could have been better. The bottom line is N82 remained to be a high-end multimedia smartphone.
While some users may fall love at first sight with N82 from a distance, they might get disappointed on a closer look. The phone felt plasticky, despite the silver-colored exterior, and the alphanumeric keypad is very hard to use. Blame it to its small dimensions of 4.4 x 1.9 x 0.6 inches, while it looked cute, the keys appeared to have forced to fit into place. The keys are tiny, and even the Talk and End buttons, shortcuts, clear button and navigation toggle aren’t out of the question. The Nokia N82′s 2.4-inch display runs 16.7 million colors at a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. It detects ambient light and its brightness adjust accordingly. Two speakers are located on the right spine, at the top and bottom, together with the camera activation and capture button, shortcut to photo gallery and volume control.
The left spine is where the micro USB port, power connector and microSD expansion slot are connected. The power button and headphone jock are on top while the camera lens and flash are on the back side, protected by the sliding cover. As with the other members of the NSeries family, the N82 has a powerful multimedia features, one of which is the 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash.
Editing images are at par in N82, and the user can pick among five image qualities, eight scene modes and five color tone options. N82′s camera also includes features for white balance, exposure, sharpness, contrast, and light sensitivity. Add up the fact that Nokia finally managed to take photos with impressive picture quality unlike the earlier models.
Listening to music and watching videos in N82 is a total delight, with a number of files supported. Users can easily categorize tracks according to albums, artists, genres or composers and create playlists right on the phone. An FM radio is also included, although it is dependent on the included headset as it acts as a tuner. It also works with Nokia Ovi which showcases the Nokia Music Store and Nokia Maps.
N82 is a quadband phone and it offers world roaming, speakerphone, speed dialing, conference calling and voice command support. It also supports SMS and MMS. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.0, Wi-Fi and GPS. Among the e-mail accounts supported by N82 are IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP For productivity tools, N82 runs on Symbian operating system. Among its applications are the Quickoffice, for viewing Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint files, Adobe Reader, Zip manager, voice recorder and a lot more.
