I've been using my n82 for a couple months now. I use the phone heavily as an all in 1, battery life lasts about a day, 2-3 hours of listening to music, a dozen or more photos, web browsing, about 20-30 texts and 30-45 mins of phone calls.

The xenon flash doesn't deplete the battery too badly, and its effective range is 2-2.5m in my opinion. Usually I have no problem photographing a group of people 6-7ft away.

im pretty satisfied by my n82 black bt one annoying thing is that when i take pictures of small objects smtimes the picture is blured even if the aufocus bracket goes green in the close up mode..in comparison on my nokia 6500 slide the pics are always sharp..can anyone confirm this and give tips for using the close up mode efficently ???

@ehm, the three spots you see on the screen maynot be dust particles, they could perhaps be dead pixels… n82 has lot of complaints regarding this.

One way to check for dead/hot/warm (basically non-working) pixels is to zoom the camera and see if the spots remain on the screen…even after cleaning the lens with a soft cloth (like the ones which comes with sunglasses) if they remain then maybe you should get it checked out by the Nokia Service CEnter.

Maybe this site can help http://www.macenstein.com/default/iphone_pixel_test.html

@Mark, thanks for that got me serching about the zoom, the optical zoom does take 5 mp pictures but only at 6x after that is not as good as 5 mp..ufff you realy got me thinking, but dust that is ok LOL

@ehm I learned that spots are created by dust on the lens reflecting from the flash. If you zoom in, the spots look bigger.

@mark thanks..so the spots that i had seen was because of the zooming?so its not likely a defect on my n82?

@ehm don’t use the zoom… The N82 does not have optical zoom so u r actually just enlarging a section of the photo.

Thanks Maritza for in the info where it made. It was so hard for me to decide which one to go between n95-4 and n82 but I settled into N82 black hopefully it will arrive by Monday. I can’t wait I’m planning to use it for our vacation this summer to Philippines and of course here also using AT&t hope there will be no problem.

thanks

Hi,
Me again at last a month ago I got myself N82 no regrets, so again thanks for a true to life review.What is next? LOL

Great review, thanks.

I bought this phone yesterday having researched the best camera phones on the market. I was torn between the N82, the SE K850i and the Samsung G800.

I read a thorough comparison review between the three online, a review containing comparative pictures etc., and the N82 was streets ahead of it’s competitors. In low light, the G800’s flash bathed the subject in a blue mask, the K850i’s flash seemed to struggle unless the subject was close to the camera. Though if they got too close, they were over-exposed. The N82 however excelled and managed to have a good balance of lighting throughout the picture and alas throughout the test.

In addition to having the best camera on the market, it also has a much improved, quicker and updated GPS system, unlike the other three.

Having owned an N95 for the last year and being frustrated with it’s slow response time, slider activating in-pocket and relatively poor camera, I’m happy to say that Nokia have ironed these issues out with the N82.

I couldn’t recommend a phone higher than this one.

Cheers,

Sam

Can you post some video samples taken by N82 for us to see? I haven’t able to find one on the net.
Thanks!

Hi. This blog site is really good for Nokia lovers. I love your review for N82. Very informative. But I need to know one last thing before I go and buy this phone. I’m just curious if I can use the phone web browser to access secured page (https). Currently I’m using 6300 which I think cannot access https page via GPRS. Thanks and I can’t wait to see new updates in this blogsites.

@masada :

The flash on the K850 is pretty bad in its range, its a huge step back (less than half the range) of the add on that SE made for the K750/W810.

It’d be nice to see a side-by-side of the two (K850 and N82) in some typical night-time shots (ie. in a club/pub, proper low-lighting conditions)

thanks for the review!

i like to know whether the flash & AF assist lamp can switch off completely?

I’ve noticed most of the N-series phones still flashing dimly when we taking photo or during recoding video even when we switch off the flash.
