Its design has been liked at a percentage of 70% while its usability has been ranked at approximately 73%. A certain reviewer from yourmobilephonereviews.co.uk concluded that overall, this is a good phone, well worth the price, anyone looking for an alternative to the N95 with the same features but a smaller phone, look no further.

    Reviewer: GadgetSpeak

    The Nokia N82 may not lead the way with the stylish looks of other models but it does pack plenty of useful features into the chunky handset.  The battery supplied with the unit should provide upwards of 200 hours on standby; 2 hours of video calling; up to 260 minutes of talk time; and 200 minutes of video playback.  You should be able to take up to 290 pictures with flash from a fully charged battery.  Expect to pay in the region of £360 for this phone without the...

    Whilst on paper the N82 sounds great and to a certain degree it is, the design of the N82 and its battery life are the biggest let downs and if we were to choose between this or the N95 GB it would be the latter that gets our vote. Read more

    N okia has introduced a couple of new software additions in the past few months for various Nokia mobile phones. Remember for example the Nokia Ovi Internet browser and the new NGage games. Besides these new software additions, the N82 has also been equipped with an integrated GPS receiver, navigation software and a five Megapixel digital camera with Xenon flash. The N82's digital camera is able to exceed any other camera phone with ease thanks to its superior image... Read more

    Nokia have filled the N82 with just about every feature imaginable. You get WiFi and HSDPA supporting 3G, A-GPS with Nokia Maps, the excellent music and video player seen on the N95, a 3.5mm jack plug sensibly located on the top of the handset, an FM radio and a TV-out socket. Then, as this is a Symbian phone, you get the option of downloading a wealth of software from the Internet too. Whether the N82 becomes a prospect for ownership depends on your views on the design...

    The N82 may not have the 8GB memory of the latest N95, but it does carry a similarly heavyweight set of features plus Wi-Fi and HSDPA 3G high-speed connectivity options. Its five-megapixel camera produces arguably the best cameraphone pictures yet seen in a European mobile, and it has a very capable GPS satnav facility. But with the abilities the N82 has to offer, it’s a shame that Nokia hasn’t made its flagship candybar smart in the looks department too. The curious... Read more

    I had this phone for over a year and can honestly say it is the best mobile I have ever owned. Rather than list the features which are easy enough to find out and are listed on this site even i'll give my opinions on the things I noticed. Firstly at face value the keypad looks too small, I have large hands and this was my main concern - I tried the phone in a shop before I upgraded and despite the size of the buttons texting was no problem at all. Given that was my only... Read more

    I bought this Mobile phone the end of last year, and have been using it for 8 months. I can say, i am super satisfied with this Mobile phone. Long standby time, long talking time even using internet talking. I save lots of money by using the internet call service of this phone, i can make long distance call to abroad without spend a cent. The only problem when doing internet call is, it will become quite hot, so just use the headset if it also happen to you. For the... Read more

    This is the best phone I have ever had. The sat nav is great and better than the nokia n95. The screen is of high resolution and the performance of the camera is the best I have seen out of any five megapixel camera. Its like your own personal computer. Read more
