Summary: A very good phone but no US 3G even though it says US version
Comment: I agree with most of what's been written already here and I'd like to add my 2 cents as I have owned the n95-8GB too and I can tell you categorically, the N82 is a much better phone.
Despite of the fact that it doesn't have 3G, I've decided to buy it and the reason is that I don't really need the 3G most of the times. Since it has Wi-Fi I can compensate for extensive downloads and applications. Using the EDGE is of course 'painful' compared to 3G and the only downside is that download and voice calls can't go through simultaneously. No biggy.

N95 had a lot of bugs and very annoying lags in the camera when shooting (see my n95 review). Worst was a few seconds (literally) from the moment the shutter was pressed to the moment the picture was taken, processed and have the camera ready for the next one. An absolute no go... Slider is so flimsy on the N95 that I was really afraid the screen part is going to crack and dislocate.
The N82's camera is a great improvement on that part. It has a Xenon flash and a much faster response time. I personally prefer the lens slide as a camera activator because it prevents accidental camera mode when in the holster, something I have experienced with the N95 quite a lot.

Very useful function (especially for travelers): The modem function works great either via the USB modem driver or the Bluetooth, with download speeds that could put some so-called `broadband' speeds to shame. This is great in places where you have no Wi-Fi or free Wi-Fi for your laptop (like in Airport terminals, etc).
The phone also syncs with the PC (outlook) using the same connections (through the USB or via Bluetooth)


MicroSD: The N82's spec doesn't state support for HC MicroSD memory, but I took the chance and bought an 8GB one and it works flawlessly...

Screen: Auto rotation is somewhat annoying but it can be disabled.

Media player: Sometimes it freezes with other applications running to the point when it freezes and restarts the phone. It happens rarely but it does (with the latest FW version). Sound quality is reasonable although on my phone I hear clicks and pops on the over tones which is weird because I only transferred the songs as MP3 without additional compression to MP4 which is available through the Media Manager.

A-GPS: Well this is a debatable function and whether useful or not it is up to how much really one needs a GPS. I find it to be a nice toy to have but I don't consider it as a serious GPS. In fact the Nokia maps are not so great for this service. The Voice guidance is free for only 3-days after which the navigation is disabled and when used, it redirects to purchase options which are so ridiculously expensive. I downloaded Google maps for the phone which work much better overall.

Battery life: Much better than the N95, though it is not even close to what's in the spec. I don't know why Nokia doesn't think about that. The battery should be at least 1300mAh to give a decent battery life between charges.


Overall it's a good phone for the price I paid (I don't see why one would pay more than a $150) for the black one as priced on Amazon, or even more for the N95 which doesn't give you more for the money.

Summary: Not 3G, but 3G isn't what you think...
Comment: Although 3G data networks have rapidly advanced in the United States, most notably in the past few years, it may still be considered a beta mode type of product. I say this not just by reviewing data, but through extensive use of many devices and services. Without getting into a big story, I switched from an iphone to an iPhone 3G, to this, the N82. I have never been so satisfied in the pure performance, ease of use, and specifications. I don't mean for this to sound the wrong way, but I spend a lot of money on mobile devices. In doing so, I obviously get a good first hand feel of them. This phone is the best if you want: amazing picture quality (even at night), the clearest sounding signal, and an easy and bug free interface which is universal in compatibility, this is it. The iPhone 3G got too buggy for me. I hate dropped calls and inconsistencies. Now I have an iPhone 3G which is basically used as an iPod, and this, my new favorite gadget. The only complaint, which is not anything to worry about is- the sim card door is made of very thin aluminum and is fragile. Be careful when you put the sim card in.

Summary: Great phone but has some bugs
Comment: This is a great phone. I love it. I love that i can take very good quality pictures, most of the time, with it's 5MP camera without having to take another device.
I bought it to take it with me in a trip to South America. I was traveling light and the Nokia N82 was perfect partner. I used it for my music, to surf the internet at the Hotel via WIFI and using Skype installed in the phone, i could stay in touch with friends and family for cheap. Since the quality of the picture was very good i used it in many cases my N82 instead of a regular camera. Another thing is that with a free software that can be downloaded to your computer from the internet, linking your ITUNES music playlist to your nokia phone is no problem.

OK, the cons: The Battery is week and only last for a couple of hours when using WIFI conection and music. The phone is not that slim and it's a little bulky. The keys are small but i find it easier to use than the keys of my previous SLVR by Motorola. It has UMTS connectivity but i cannot use it in USA but i bought this phone knowing that.

*pardon my grammar.

Thanks

Summary: Review Nokia N82
Comment: Previously owned a Sony Ericsson P1i phone for a few months and the Nokia N82 has the Sony beat. The Media player on the Nokia N82 a lot better than the Sony. The Sony music player is really slow. Also, with Sony you have to buy their memory stick and other proprietary items, a real downer. The Nokia display, video and picture quality are excellent. You don't need to bring a separate digital camera on trips. I'm a map freak and GPS on this device is really good. A definite aid when I was out of town trying locate a place to eat. It just a downer that you have to pay extra for the voice service for the GPS. The Sony Ericsson P1i does not come with a GPS however Sony does has a touch screen but that is no big deal with me. Sony has infrared & bluetooth connections but the Nokia N82 has only bluetooth but again no big deal. I wish the Nokia had a the Track ID service. The Sony Ericsson has it. A definite plus when you are listening to FM radio and you want to find out the song listening to. Overall, the Nokia N82 is a winner and I would recommend this phone to anyone.

Summary: Almost Perfect Phone
Comment: I have had this phone since it came out, and must say that I am very pleased with it's functionalities and features.

I am impressed with the camera, and so far it is the best camera phone I have ever had, I also like the video function even though it can't compare with any video cameras, and must be seen as just a gimick for fun short takes.

The GPS is one of two things I think is on the downside along with its buttons that I think is way to small, writing text messages is a challenge everytime.

But all in all this is a phone that is well recommended.

Go and buy it now
