Look for a freeware "ActiveFile" or "Xplore". You can send any files thru them via BT etc
Yea thanks. I found Y-browser + a plugin that also did the trick, but will check out ActiveFile and Xplore as well.

Right, let's just wait and see what people thinks about it.

You obviously haven't read the whole thread. It's because I want the best possible camera. None of the Sony Ericsson phones beats the N82 on that area, and the W890 certainly doesn't.
I don't think Nokia has more bugs than Sony Ericsson anymore. They used to have yes, but to me it really looks like the tables have switched.

The tables have been turned indeed! About two years ago. Congratulations mate and enjoy your new phone.

I read the whole thread. Buy a digital camera – no camera phone will beat a dedicated digital camera for quality – it will not happen – at least not for a few years yet.
Anyway, good luck with your phone.

Agree, looks awesome – but not out until quarter 4.

I have a digital camera. The problem is that I never carry it around with me, and thus I never take any pictures nor videos. So in the end I'll have no "diary" pictures. A camera phone is the only solution for me.

Well... I've had the N82 for 1½ week now or so. I've bought a HS-44 + AD-44 headset to make it easy to start and stop the media player, just like I could on the W800 on the side of the phone.
I bought and installed A-SMS to get smileys in my SMS messages. I installed Y-browser + a plugin in order to be able to send JAR files via bluetooth to other phones.
In order to get more than 24 hour batterytime I turned UMTS off, turned down the brightness of the screen and keep bluetooth off as well. All those things makes the N82 usable, if we disregard the small keys. Yet I have to say it was a mistake getting it.
It's almost amusing how the manufacturer always manages to make some incredible stupid decision. Nokia has in all the Symbian S60v3 series (and probably more) decided that volume in music from Java games can't be turned down or up. So in other words, it's useless for Java games. That's not so lucky for me who happens to be a JavaME developer. I would have liked to know this before I bought it, coz then I wouldn't.
It's a mystery why Nokia would make such an amazingly lame decision in the first place, but even more strange that they never fixed it in later firmwares, because I have found a lot of posts from people complaining about this matter, and asking if it was fixed in new firmwares.
My Sony Ericsson W950 Symbian UIQ3 phone has no problems at all with controlling volume in Java games.
So now I'm back to looking at new models from Sony Ericsson again, and what do we have now? The C905...wee... And once again the manufacturer manages to make an incredible stupid decision: No VGA video recording.
And I'm still not impressed by the picture quality. I don't need 8mp blurry pictures that looks like they're painted with dull colors. I need 5mp sharp ones with great colors.
I do however think, that the C905 will be the overall best phone on the market, all things considered... My experience with Nokia S60v3 tells me that the Sony Ericsson UI is clearly the best. And the missing Java sound in S60v3 is simply a disaster!
So I guess I'll be selling my N82 again soon, and go back to hibernate. Someone wake me up when SE releases a C905 successor that has VGA recording.

lolololol so you didnt like the phone because you cant turn up the volume? wow! did you even look at the good things? best camera in the market, vga video recording, great sound quality, 3.5mm jack, gps, wifi, n-gage (f*** java games), all the great programs you can download in symbian (youtube has to be my favorite), tv-out, micro usb and many many more! you forgot all of this and hated the phone because you cant turn up the volume in java games???!!!! are you f***** kidding me? i bet you didnt even give it a chance because its a "nokia", so so sad!
i am SE fan as well, but you cant deny nokia are doing a damn good job these days, they are trying to be the best in everything, and it shows, best image quality, best sound quality, best build quality etc.
"It's almost amusing how the manufacturer always manages to make some incredible stupid decision." why does it have to be a decision? cant it be a mistake? they missed it maybe?

I promise you I've given it a chance, and I don't hate the N82. It's been customized to work just the way I like it. With the new headset I bought sound quality is nice (although I must admit I'm using part of a Sony Ericsson headset with it), and being able to control the mediaplayer with the headset buttons is very nice. Wouldn't say it's the best soundquality though.
VGA video recording will be the most missed feature. Someone ought to kick SE in their behinds to get things rolling.
Anyway, for people who's not into Java games, and who really wants a great camera or is already a Nokia user, I WILL recommend the N82 or another one from that family (probably the 6220 Classic though because of the buttons for SMS are better). But in my case I just happen to be a JavaME developer, so I need to be able to run Java games on my phone. It's as simple as that. Mostly our own games, but I also perform a lot of betatesting for fellow developers. So sound has to work properly.
If only it was possible to control volume in Java games I would stick with it despite the small keys and poor SMS features.
And yes, it might have been a mistake at first, but as I understand it Nokia has had plenty of time to fix it, and they haven't.
And no I can't get a whole lot of Symbian applications because Symbian is not backward compatible. Plain Java phones offer so much more than Symbian does, except speed you don't really need in most cases. There are a lot more applications and games available for Java, and frankly I think it's embarrassing that the high-end S60v3 devices can't do a simple task like this.
And btw, you don't need Symbian to view YouTube.

i didnt know about the java developer part, sorry about that. and i didnt say best sound quality in the n82, i meant best sound quality in nokia. the youtube in java phones is the mobile version, not all videos can be viewed. anyway there has to be someway you can raise the volume, you can ask people at AAS forums or whatever, they can help you there.

Lou,
there's a possibility that the retail version of the C905 might have VGA recording. If it is true, which I hope it is, then I guess this might be the perfect phone for you.

I think both your posts are stupid. How can you say the C905 has, grainy pictures. When you've only seen the ones on here? And even then the ones I've seen are fantastic, way better then anything else out there. As for VGA recording. Fair point. But the phone isn't out till the end of the year.
And to the reply about it being stupid about the volume control in Java games, the guy DID say he programmes Java games so i can see his point.
Just my opinion, you can carry on now.
