According to any phone review, Nokia has been the leader since the beginning, and the new Nokia N82 is another example why many people prefer it. Certainly, Nokia’s N series was a successful step forward and that it became very popular should come as no surprise. When the company then presented the Nokia N95, it really caused quite a stir resembling a small computer with a five megapixel camera, huge display and GPS.

Today’s star, the new smartphone N82, is the smaller brother of the N95, but it has many of the features in a smaller package. However, it also has some problems with its buttons and controls.

Wirelessinfo has reviewed the phone and has more information.

Tour & Design – The N82 is a medium sized phone with plastic construction that makes it light, but also feels a little less durable than we would have liked.

Audio Quality – The N82 didn’t do as well in our Audio tests as we would have liked, with average to below average scores across the board.

Imaging – The N82′s five megapixel camera didn’t score as well as the N95′s, but is still amongst the best we’ve seen while video recording was excellent.

Making/Receiving Calls – The Nokia N82′s call features were solid, but we found the keypad to be a little fiddly and prone to errors.

Messaging – The Nokia N82′s messaging application does a solid job, but it isn’t as good as a BlackBerry or Windows Mobile device.

Organizer – the Organizer features are solid but a few omissions like the lack of predictive search for contacts and no category support for appointments make it fall short of other smart phone platforms.

Multimedia – As always Nokia does a solid job in the music playback department but Realplayer is still sub par video playback software.

So, $550 is not that much for the features, and even its negative sides can’t affect its success too much.
