The N82 is Very good Nokia smart phone , with a nice large display & excellent resolution. Inside this phone is a powerhouse that just throbs with awesome software. Using the latest Symbian programming Nokia have really done their homework.

The Nokia N82 is based on the Symbian OS, with Nokia’s S60 3rd Edition, interface running on top. Using Nokia’s free PC Suite application, ( available on the CD or can download from Nokia website )

users can easily synchronize their N82 with Microsoft Outlook on their home computer, including contacts, calendar, to-do list, and notes. PC Suite also facilitates synchronizing pictures and videos, allowing you to easily manage your multimedia. The contacts application on the N82 is robust, offering support for multiple fields, including addresses, email, and multiple phone numbers.

Users can also create caller groups and assign each group its own ring tone, which is really

handy for discerning calls from work contacts vs. personal contacts. Individual contacts can also be given their own ring tones, and video ring tones are supported natively as well.
The phone comes with video capabilities which include video recording, video playback & video streaming capabilities. The N82 3G Smartphone supports all popular formats of video playback.

The Wi-Fi facility works without a hitch. With Wireless router you can keep coneecting to internet and surfing the web without paying more . While we are on the subject of Internet, On the Nokia website you can download a lot of freebie programs for the Nokia N range of mobiles, & one of which is very good.

Try the Internet Radio program, which can either be used via your GSM network or better still through Wi-Fi connection. There are so many radio stations World Wide it would take you months to go through them all

by going into the ‘Tools’ folder in the main menu. These profiles control ringtones, volume

The built in music player provides the user with music entertainment when the user is on the move, along with a built in FM radio complete with visual radio provides the user with the perfect mobile music companion.

The user can create playlists & even enjoy a wireless listening experience using compatible Bluetooth® headset.

Pressing the power button on the N82 quickly brings up a list of profiles that can be customized
vibration, and that sort of thing. There are several preset profiles, and users can easily add their
own, as well. Unfortunately, profile scheduling is not built into the S60 UI, but is available on the
Nokia N82 via third-party applications.

Speed dialing on the Nokia N82 is disabled by default, but can be enabled easily from the Tools
folder in the main menu. Numbers 2-9 can be assigned speed dial functions, with the 1 key being

fixed for speed dialing voicemail. Once configured, speed dial is activated from the standby
screen by pressing and holding the appropriate number for a few seconds. The Nokia N82 also
features speaker-independent voice dialing for real convenience. This is activated by pressing
and holding the right soft key for a few seconds. A beep will prompt the user to speak, and overall
the system is relatively accurate.

POP and IMAP email is supported on the Nokia N82, and so are SMS and MMS. The N82 is
equipped with an Instant Messaging application, though it uses the generally worthless Wireless

Conclusion

The Nokia N82 is definitely the current king of imaging in the Nseries family, and a serious match for most of the stand-alone point and shoot digital cameras on the market. The build quality is phenomenal, and the battery life is top notch, as well. The Xenon flash on the N82 really makes a difference, and the auto-focusing Carl Zeiss lens make for some really nice pictures, even for printing, which is a feat for any cameraphone. The only camera related complaint that I have with the N82 is that it does not stand on its own for timed shots, meaning that a tripod or stand of some sort is required. The lack of US WCDMA (850/1900MHz) support is also disappointing, but something I’ve come to expect from Nokia, sadly. But based on everything that the N82 does, and does so well, I rate the Nokia N82 as “Highly Recommended.”
