QVGA is lame .. you can get an iPhone with much better resolution and a 10x better browsing experience for much less thatn $657 ... with money left over to buy a quality GPS.

And $657 is for the unlocked sim-free no contract price. Expect it to be sold here on contract for much much less than the Iphone. The Nokia N95 for example is free on a £35 tariff on O2.]]>Nov 14th 2007 3:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
Also, the price comparison is stupid. You're comparing Nokia's unlocked price to Apple's locked price. In the UK, the iPhone retails for £269. This phone will be free. You could buy an 16GB iPod touch with the difference in money.]]>Nov 14th 2007 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
I don't know why Nokia appear to have gone backwards, but I don't think I will be 'upgrading' my ancient N80 (to this model).]]>Nov 14th 2007 7:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/I'd see this as the N73 successor. And the N80 resolution sucked for developers ive heard.]]>Nov 15th 2007 5:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
(There is of course the Nokia E90 Communicator as well; though this does not support U.S. 3G bands. Not that the iPhone supports ANY 3G, but still...)

As far as the N95 vs. the iPhone - give it up. The iPhone does not even have some of the features you would expect in a standard low-end phone (e.g. basic bluetooth profiles such as DUN, A2DP, etc, or being able to connect to an external bluetooth GPS receiver. Even if you were able to do so, and to run 3rd party GPS-aware map applications such as MGMaps or AmazeGPS, the EDGE speed would simply be too slow to update the maps while you are driving...). Once you compare against any 3G phone, let alone the N95, you'll find the iPhone lacking in a lot of respects.

The iPhone's strenghts is not in features. It is in its UI (including, of course, the multi-touch interaction and the half-VGA screen). Enjoy it for that.

(BTW, as a portable internet device, I find the Nokia N800/N810 internet tablets far superior to the iPhone/iPod Touch. For starters, they have flash support, and are able to see YouTube on the "real" internet. And unlike the iPhone's half-VGA screen, they sport a WVGA (800x480) resolution screen. They have real bluetooth support (for connectivity to internet via your phone, wireless audio devices, even bluetooth keyboard and mice..) Finally, the N810 has a built-in hardware keyboard).

Hopefully, the winner of the 700 MHz band will work with international standards bodies to do something more sensible this time around.]]>Nov 26th 2007 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/Nothing new here]]>Nov 14th 2007 3:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
The N82 may have similar features to the N95 but its a much needed replacement for the N73. This has better build quality, an updated UI and a nicer camera. Good enough. ]]>Nov 14th 2007 3:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/Nov 14th 2007 3:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/

What's on that screen is that Windows Mobile?

I thought the buttons were too small on my K810 but it's really nice to use... how big are your fingers?!?! If they're bigger than mine I would try writing a text on an iPhone!]]>Nov 14th 2007 6:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/Nov 14th 2007 5:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/Nov 14th 2007 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/The N80 was disappointing due to speed - hopefully there's a better processor in there!]]>Nov 14th 2007 6:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
Symbian runs like a sludge, and my laptop boots faster.

The buttons are too close.

The battery goes from fully charged to nearly depleted without passing through intermediate states.]]>Nov 14th 2007 7:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
n82 has the same amount of ram as n95-8gb, as is almost any other spec of it(including 3d accel in hw).

90mb free after boot, so the browser etc run like they should and don't die in the background.

so, a lot of things wrong with n80 are fixed with the newer models.

Well will see how much will it be from carrier other option is N95 8gb, but i would take the candy bar any day before any other form factor.]]>Nov 14th 2007 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
My old N80 can last a week on standby if 3G is switched off when not needed and WiFi consumption is lowered.]]>Nov 14th 2007 7:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
I can't think why 8GB would be needed. Windows XP can run faster in 256MB!!]]>Nov 14th 2007 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
settings - connections - wireless lan - options - advanced settings

Go down to TX power level and change to 4mW (the default is 100mW). In my experience while the WiFi range did decrease slightly the massive improvement in standby time was worth it.

I don't have a N80 now but my girlfriend still has one and her charger recently broke on Sunday. Today her N80 still has 3/5 battery bar.]]>Nov 14th 2007 12:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
1. Symbian have got their issues well and truely sorted - the N95 and even better N95 8Gb load quickly, navigate quickly and can multitask very well indeed (the N95 8gb very very well indeed).
2. 8Gb is for storage - ie for music/videos - it doesnt need 8Gb to run you dumbass. The 256Mb on the N95 8GB is RAM - ie multitasking and quicker loading of apps.

I simply dont believe you have ever touched an N82, or even an N95 - because everything you say points to you talking out of your botty!]]>Nov 14th 2007 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
I'm querying the 8GB because the above commenters use it to (partly) justify the extra RAM free after boot. I've added 2GB without it making an iota of difference.

Either way, I sure hope they didn't skimp on that part of the phone if they were putting in a 5 megapixel sensor.

It is after all, supposed to be a 'media-centric mobile'.

Maybe in six monthes when they re-release it in black we'll also see some widescreen lovin'.]]>Nov 14th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/
Also I don't like the N-series displaying "N82" or whatever on the front plate - no Nokias prior to N did that.

Another point of criticism: That front facing camera. Nobody is using these cameras, Nokia.

I thought that Nokia is doing some innovative usage patterns research - and I wonder where on this planet have they found people who hold the phone a foot from their face while talking via video conferencing. Can you imagine how silly that would look?
I have never seen such a person, and I have traveled many cities with blazingly fast 3G networks. ]]>Nov 15th 2007 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/14/the-nokia-n82-gets-official/can some one post as where can i buy it form within EU
