Nokia N82 ? preview


Mobile-review have posted a Nokia N82 preview today. Despite it only being a preview...it is very long and in depth and can be considered a review. Here is the final impression.

Impressions
Don?t expect to find here any low-down on the N82 in this section, at least for now ? we had to put this phone through its paces in several sittings, on top of that, every unit we had hands-on sessions with was different. Though, we will get our mitts on a commercial unit pretty soon, and as soon as it arrives, we will update this review, and, for the time being, let us call this a ?preview?.

Has Nokia hit the bull?s eye with this model? It is absolutely safe to say this handset will appeal to the masses and will be a truly sought-after offering ? the N82 definitely has what it takes and just like the Nokia N73 a year ago, it is on its way to the title of the most affordable and decent Nokia-branded imaging-minded solution. Its music department is no different from the Nokia N95 8Gb, meaning that it proves to be somewhat inferior to the Nokia N81. Still, your music experience with the N82 won?t be irritating or dismal. Missing remote control from the sales package is another hint at the handset?s true positioning.

Given its current retail price of 450 Euro, the N82 is up against the Sony Ericsson K850i alone. Which one to go for, I hear you ask? It will be one tough decision for you, better listen to what your experience of playing around with either of the phones tells you. For the owners of the Nokia N95, the N82 won?t break any new ground ? by and large it is the N95, yet with some of its shortcomings mitigated and more RAM onboard.

Shedding some light on myths and rumors circulating around the web on an impending music-savvy edition of the N82 carrying 8Gb onboard, I have to say this is very unlikely in view of the handset?s positioning. It already has a rival, which can only dream of 8Gb of storage. Looking at Nokia?s range you may well come to a conclusion that the arrival of a handset like this retailing for 70 Euro would be fine if only they didn?t have the Nokia N95 on offer. Which won?t happen for at least 7-8 months to come. Just like the Nokia N73, the N82 doesn?t have any sort of 8 or 4 Gb vartiations.
