  Great phone, 2008-11-23
This is a great phone. It's essentially an N95 in a candy bar form, and considerable cheaper. The camera is great, the GPS is ok, the rest of the features are amazing. This being a S60 phone, there's lots of third party app support for it as well. In terms of features you can't beat it.

I did have an issue in the beginning with this phone. Actually, I originally bought the N81 from NewEgg, that phone had a faulty battery and had to be returned. I then opted for the N82 from Amazon since the N81 was out of stock on NewEgg. When I got the N82, it lasted me about a week before it started having issues with its SD card. It would refuse to boot up with the SD card inserted and after a little while would not boot up at all. I returned the N82 and Amazon overnighted me another one. I was without a phone for a whole of 18 hours.

So given my experience with the N81 and N82, I'm giving this phone 4 stars. A+ to Amazon for customer service though.

  Its OK, 2008-11-12
Cons: Sluggish. Hangs every now and then. Video (movies) does not play for more than 10-15 min after that the sound comes but the screen freeze. Even after Xenon flash indoor shoots are hazy. The hands free is weird, it has a button to disconnect but it does not redial the last number. Also the disconnect button location inadvertently disconnects the call in the middle of conversation.

Pros: Almost everything in a phone. GPS works fine, only time to first connect is long but after that it quickly links and works fine. WLAN connects faster. Camera for all cell phone standard is extremely good, I used it on a trip and I am happy with the results. Speakers are good quality

Overall I would recommend this phone but keep in mind that it won't do things as fast as you would like it to perform. Forget about watching video as they play only for 10-15 min. To browse web, you wold need to update the flash player and I don't know how to update only the flash player, I updated the software from the Nokia website but haven't tried internet after that.

This is the best camera phone I have used. The wifi features are awesome which makes internet calling using Fring and Truphone so easily.
I can even make a sip call with [...].
It is a highly recommended buy.
Thanks.

  None better, 2008-10-24
I take a lot of pictures with my phone as it's always on me. This phone has a camera and flash that are better than anything else out there.

I text a lot and the predictive text is the best I've seen from the factory. Is there a program I can download so it will "learn" words I use a lot that it doesn't recognize?

Keys are small but feel is just right. Much easier to text than on an iphone.

When it was over $670 I held off. At under $400 I jumped. Got an 8GB memory card for $23. Great setup.

Love this thing.

  Not as good as one would think it could be, 2008-10-21
There few main drawbacks that really should not be there:
1. the battery is really weak: the phone runs out of charge in less than 48 hours with
very moderate usage (no internet, no camera, etc, only talk 15-20 min a day)
2. there are very obvious bugs: Gallery application doesn't work at times (just displays 'no images or videos found'). It seems to have problems reading directories with images or videos both in phone memory and on the memory card.
3. GPS application (Nokia maps) seems to have problems locating/finding maps, as a result I would have no maps displayed when I need them the most (i.e. when travel and no Internet)
4. Automatic screen rotation really leaves much to be desired, and one would think this function should have been solid by this time.

Now, I used Nokia smarphone (Nokia 7610) since 2004, that phone had great battery (7-10 days! with same usage pattern), gallery was working without any problems, and no noticeable bugs, always worked really sharp. When I got this new Nokia N82 I expected same level of quality (seeing that standby/talk time have increased according to the specifications). I really have to say that the N82 battery is really not up to the
expectations. I used to not even carry the charger for my old Nokia 7610 even when I went for 4-5 day trips, as the battery was awesome. Basically, I am very disappointed with Nokia N82 as it does not get up to quality that you would expect from $400 phone. With short battery life and key functions not working sharp (like Gallery), this phone is a downgrade for me, not an improvement compared to my old, but sharp Nokia 7610.
Having said all that, phone has lots of functions (Wi-Fi, 5MP camera, GPS, etc), but unfortunately you will not enjoy them much as the battery runs out really quick, or they simply sometimes not function right (eg. Gallery or GPS).

Another thing (may be minor) is that Nokia Maps seem to require PC with Nokia Map Loader (and Windows!) application to get maps for your GPS, as a result the maps cannot be obtained using your phone alone; I must say this is just outright wrong, one would think there will support for LINUX users, as this is Symbian, not Windows Mobile.
