> N82 review by mib (I've got one)
Bookmark topic
I have just got my N82 on contract. It is charging now.
I will give some initial impression follow by more detail review. If you have any questions, I will try to answer.
Here goes:-
- Built quality is very good. It has a solid feel to it. No creaking parts at all. I dont think anyone will have issue with it. Front as well as back has clear plastic protector/laminate. Even the keypad area too. The laminate is stuck nicely so you can leave it on and it would still look good. Back cover is very tight. The back design just look very elegant.
- The screen is sharp and clear. But it is not as bright as my N95. At 100% it is like 3/4 on the N95. Image is sharper (due to smaller size). After I got use to N95 screen size, this is a bit of a downer for me.
- The phone looks a tad long proportionally. It is actually about the same length as my N70 but slimmer. It is not as thin as I thought tho. Putting on flat surface, it is as thick as my N95 minus the 2-3mm protruding camera rim.
- The keypad needs getting used as I have not use this type of keypad before. Keys are slightly hard to press (but responsive) so you are not likely to make mistake when typing. Size is on the small side. The d-pad looks filmsy (just like the N95). It is also not as responsive (or clicky) like the N95.
- Speed of UI is fast but no perceptible different from the N95 (v20 firmware).

How about starting a 'post your n82 photos here' thread if there isn't already one.

Congratulations!
@ mib1800 - you may want to consider going into a store and checking to other N82's to see if that D-pad is a little more stiff and yet responsive in feedack.
Questions:
1. Are they any camera keypad shortcuts?
2. CAN you force an EDGE/GPRS connection only and not 3G? (screenshot please)?
Thanks.

Nice pick. I almost purchased the n82 myself. But decide against it and went for n95 instead. Looking forward to more of your first impressions.
