Review:

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 throughout the test.

I'd like to come to the defense of the phone over its looks. I personally love the metallic minimal, industrial feel. I'm personally bored of these highly polished black slab iPhone wannabees saturating the market. I feel with the N82, they've gone for content over style and in doing so have produced one of the greatest phones available right now.

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

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