    I have just tested N82 for some of the internal features it supports. A-GPS and orientation sensor work fine. GPS on battery life is significantly better.

    The good: A mass market GPS , camera all in one product. We could get our duress and location tracking product work on n82. For details look on www.phantomeye.com

    The bad: The telcos let us down with A-GPS in Australia

    Great set of features, giving you anything you'd want in a mobile. Unfortunately shocking battery life! Medium amount of voice calls without even using any of it's many features will drain the battery in less than a day! My old N73 lasted at least 3 days on the same volume of calls. Buyer beware...

    The good: Kick arse camera, GPS, Wifi, etc etc

    The bad: Ridiculous, awful, pathetic battery life, get your act together Nokia!

Overview

The good:
  • Best camera phone to date
  • Excellent connectivity includes HSDPA, Wi-Fi and GPS
  • 3.5mm headphone port
  • Side-loaded MicroSD card reader and bundled 2GB card
The bad:
  • Ridiculously tiny keypad
  • Chunky candy-bar form factor
  • Poor battery life
The bottomline:

The N82's top-line features are offset by less-than-ideal design and poor battery life. We hate to sound like an <i>Australian Idol</i> judge, but while the N82 has all the bells and whistles of other class leading smartphones, it the lacks the X-factor needed to make it a real stand out.

Editors’ rating:

7.7/10

RRP: AU$959.00
