Picture taken from Computers, Asia Pacific, Nokia

It is a power packed phone with high performances in photography, navigation and wireless internet capability. It is already in Singapore since 5 days ago..1 Dec 2007. Since everyone is writing so deep about its technology, walkergal shall make this writeup to be more reader-friendly.

Here's it:

- Talk time: up to 190 minutes (WCDMA),up to 260 minutes (GSM)

Its is a speaker phone with FM radio in it... like a big size MP3 player. In short, it has many good functions, just that after learning much from my E65 experiences, its better to wait for a few batches of it to be out first then see if it really can perform well with all the functions. E65 wasn't smooth sailing to those who bought it way before me.. Haha.. even when I bought it, it was still struggling hard to cope with all its power packed functions. So N82 as powerful as it is, one must be prepared that it might not run smoothly for the first few batches of it.. with some technical glitches here and there.

Pricing always plays a part right? There wasn't much specific details on much of its pricing but some said 450 euros, others said SGD998, SGD968, SGD898... anyway, nokia n95 is already at SGD818 now. N82 should not be any lesser.

That's all for some gadget insights at walkergal's shell.
Tata!
