Summary: Not as good as one would think it could be
Comment: There few main drawbacks that really should not be there:
1. the battery is really weak: the phone runs out of charge in less than 48 hours with
very moderate usage (no internet, no camera, etc, only talk 15-20 min a day)
2. there are very obvious bugs: Gallery application doesn't work at times (just displays 'no images or videos found'). It seems to have problems reading directories with images or videos both in phone memory and on the memory card.
3. GPS application (Nokia maps) seems to have problems locating/finding maps, as a result I would have no maps displayed when I need them the most (i.e. when travel and no Internet)
4. Automatic screen rotation really leaves much to be desired, and one would think this function should have been solid by this time.

Now, I used Nokia smarphone (Nokia 7610) since 2004, that phone had great battery (7-10 days! with same usage pattern), gallery was working without any problems, and no noticeable bugs, always worked really sharp. When I got this new Nokia N82 I expected same level of quality (seeing that standby/talk time have increased according to the specifications). I really have to say that the N82 battery is really not up to the
expectations. I used to not even carry the charger for my old Nokia 7610 even when I went for 4-5 day trips, as the battery was awesome. Basically, I am very disappointed with Nokia N82 as it does not get up to quality that you would expect from $400 phone. With short battery life and key functions not working sharp (like Gallery), this phone is a downgrade for me, not an improvement compared to my old, but sharp Nokia 7610.
Having said all that, phone has lots of functions (Wi-Fi, 5MP camera, GPS, etc), but unfortunately you will not enjoy them much as the battery runs out really quick, or they simply sometimes not function right (eg. Gallery or GPS).

Another thing (may be minor) is that Nokia Maps seem to require PC with Nokia Map Loader (and Windows!) application to get maps for your GPS, as a result the maps cannot be obtained using your phone alone; I must say this is just outright wrong, one would think there will support for LINUX users, as this is Symbian, not Windows Mobile.

Summary: Not "U.S." version in the way you'd expect
Comment: Normally when a 3G-capable Nokia is advertised by Amazon as being the U.S. version, that means it is designed to operate on the North American 3G networks. Sadly that is not the case with this phone. It is not 3G-capable in North America. The only thing U.S.-oriented about it is the warranty and the charger. I was hoping that the "Asia/Europe 3G compatibility" in the description was a leftover from the non-U.S.-model description, but after receiving one I can verify that that statement is accurate.

Very disappointing.

Come on, Nokia, where is our real U.S. model?

Summary: Its OK
Comment: Cons: Sluggish. Hangs every now and then. Video (movies) does not play for more than 10-15 min after that the sound comes but the screen freeze. Even after Xenon flash indoor shoots are hazy. The hands free is weird, it has a button to disconnect but it does not redial the last number. Also the disconnect button location inadvertently disconnects the call in the middle of conversation.

Pros: Almost everything in a phone. GPS works fine, only time to first connect is long but after that it quickly links and works fine. WLAN connects faster. Camera for all cell phone standard is extremely good, I used it on a trip and I am happy with the results. Speakers are good quality

Overall I would recommend this phone but keep in mind that it won't do things as fast as you would like it to perform. Forget about watching video as they play only for 10-15 min. To browse web, you wold need to update the flash player and I don't know how to update only the flash player, I updated the software from the Nokia website but haven't tried internet after that.

Summary: Good, but...Please read!
Comment: Problems that i found on this phone:
-No calls restriction to specific group or name. That sucks. On my Sony Ericsson K810 and later 850 i could do that.
-No flash light
-No intuitive name search in a stand-by mode, by pressing buttons, SE could do that.
-No Forward-reverse function for MP3 player in a stand-by mode like SE.
-Two silver buttons in the fron show wear instantly, literally in no time! I can`t believe my eyes. Video sometimes show distortion, as if you watch it through water.
-GPS requires that i install voice-guidance for money before i can use navigation. That i would call a deception-SO PEOPLE, BE AWARE.
I think i can live with all that, considering good points in the phone. I love camera and Wi-Fi. But dissapointment package is greater that i expected. Thank you.
