N82 Dilemma · DIGIT-ARC

Hi people!

Im planning to buy an N82.. The only problem is color. Its only available in Silver in india for now.. The black one looks better (to me at least), but i've heard mixed reviews on both the colors on the internet. No one has any idea when the black one will arrive

Now i dunno what to do, buy the silver right now, or wait for the black, which no one knows when it will arrive

P.S. You can have a look at both the colors here: *www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n82-pictures-2177.php

H

did ya enquire in shops bout the black N82?

Yes i did! No one has it, and no one knows when its coming

H

wud like to tell u one thing:
the new s60 browser of N95 8GB and N82 wont allow u to download files which cannot be opened by any of the fone's system software (like .rar files).this wasnt the prob with N73ME.

Hmm.. i dont use internet on the mobile, so its ok.. Anyway, i can use Opera Mini for that, cant i?

<kalpik> so.. silver is what the majority thinks i should get?
<QwertyM> if black is not available at all
<kalpik> black is not available right now.. dunno when it will be available, if at all
<Filled-Void> black show smudges much more than silver
<kalpik> hmm
<Filled-Void> youd have to clean it always or wipe it always to look like it didnt get molested by a dozen hands
<kalpik> Filled-Void, write it there..
<amitava> true
<kalpik> so other people can discuss too
<Filled-Void> kalpik, IM lazy
<amitava> lol
<kalpik>
<Filled-Void> Will you wruite it for me :>

Hmm.. What do you guys think?

if u wanna wait, wait for xperia x1.. $$$$ :grin:

Yeah sure, if you send me some $$$$

Buy SE K850i

H

if u want the black N82 that bad then u cud wait 4 1 month and see if its available by then.else go for the N82 silver

.

yea the black one wont bew available for sumtime..its been released only for the us market yet..will take some time to come here..a month or two at the least...

The NSeries India website is showing the black colour N82. So I guess it won't be long. BTW the silver looks good too. Don't base your judgement on pictures. Check it out in a shop yourself and then decide.

I happen to own the silver one, I bought it after a long line of black phones and I have to admit it looks great.

Hmm.. So people are suggesting that i should go ahead with silver!

H

^^ i.e if u want to buy N82,else u can look 4 other fones like K850i,Viewty etc.

Yeah.. N82 only.. No other phone

Just chipping in here, the N82 is a fantastic device. I actually had the opportunity to fiddle around with it for half an hour, and I can tell you, it is insanely smooth and completely lacks the problems that prevent me from buying the N73.

The silver looks great IMHO, but I would say wait for black to see if they've changed the finishing. The silver is a fingerprint magnet, and I mean a magnet. It makes the back of the iPod look good.

There are some little niggling details for you to consider though. I didn't find the Audio Quality up to my expectations, and the ringer volume is really low.

The buttons are slightly hard to use, depending on how big ur fingers are, but u'll get used to it

Get the silver. It looks elegant. Has a great metallic feel about it.

Got the silver for about 21,400 right now

Thanks guys!

congrats... now when the black officially comes u can get the real black cover and change it

I don't think the covers are interchangeable. Even if one does manage to change the front and back panels with the ones of the black version there is no way one can change the sides of the phone which are light brown in the silver model and black in the black model. So you'll end up with one freaky looking phone!

Im fine with silver, looks good

Congrats man.

Congrats on ur new fone.enjoy it man...

H

@KaranTh85:I am using N82 for the past two months and can assure you that this phone has one of the best sq when paired with good earphones,output volume is low as compared to N81 but sq is same and better than N95.Only drawback is that the phone refuses to download unsupported formats.

sound quality through earphones is very good .. coupled with ep 630 .. just heard a same song on my n82 as well as my friends n91 4gb with ep630 with all the same eq settings .. and i did not find much difference .. now since n91 is considered the best for music playback then i would say n82 is not that far behind ..

get this phone as soon as possible .. one gem of a phone .. u wont find a single user of n82 making complaints .. the best all round phone till date ..

only drawback is speakers are not as loud as n73 .. but that is a minor one ..and then looks ..if ur cool with it then no probs.. camera , music , symbian performance , xenon flash , vga video recording , wifi , gps .. etc ..everything about n82 is top notch ..

and also build quality is superb too . mine survived a hard fall on ground ..

Yup.. Very sturdy phone.. And probably the best mobile by Nokia, feature wise

Hey Does it support NGage games(demo) coz N95 & N81 has Ngage games

I've heard dat screen display(brightness,contrast) of N95(8GB) is better...

I need N82 because of:
1) its looks(better than N95) coz I like candy bar fones...
2) built quality
3) camera quality (spl xenon flash)
4) for net use...
5) for music....

Yes, it has Ngage 2.0 installed

BTW, this phone has a dual CPU and a hardware graphics accelerator too

kalpik said:

so graphics accelerator is there in N95....

Yes, N82 and N95 8GB are basically the same phones

kalpik said:

I guess Grpcs Acc is spl maid 4 ngage games....

^^not necessarily !
N93 was the first mobile device, which came equipped with a 3D processor and opengl support!

N82 does NOT have graphic accelerator. Only N95/N95 8gb/N93 have graphic accelerator. Even N81 which is touted as the N-Gage phone lacks a graphic accelerator.

Yes, it does.

Graphics: 3D Graphics HW Accelerator (OpenGL ES 1.1)

I read somewhere that the maximum expandable memory is only 1GB, is this true.

Umm.. it comes with a 2GB card by default.. And supports upto 8GB cards for now.

kalpik said:

LOL yes it does. I just made the post and realised that. So I deleted my post. I didn't know you were replying to my post otherwise I'd have kept it.

Ill bring your post back

^^^

hahaha mod power

btw I cant resist the pics of Black N82 soo sexy

I have a k550i at present and I'm contended atleast for now

xperia might cost an arm and a leg so would have to settle for N82 (black) as the next phone

hopefully the time the black one comes to india while losing a few rupees and the time I get bored of thie K550i might coincide :lol:

Kalpik what r ur Jbenchmark scores?

Havent tried it.. Will install it today and post here

Though it says here that N82 is #1

the Nokia 6110 navigator has Maps(free).....does the N82 has same
maps functions(if it has but not free

)

Yes, it has Maps, and they are free if you dont need Voice Assistance.

and also when the Ngage games r launched we have to pay 4 them to be
able to download & play them...they r gonna be cool....

i m also looking at this phone

Congrats kalpik on the new phone..
BTW nice way to ditch(ahem!) N70 and get a N82

n82 in theroy has support upto 32 gb cards ... now 12 and 16 gb sandisk are out .. so u can put 16 gb into n82 .. people have used upto 8 gb cards without any issues .. and n82 and n95 8gb are basically same phones hardware wise .. so graphics accelerator is there in both phones .

16 GB to 32 GB is too much so flip the ipod touch and buy the n 82 u have all the feature of phone with 32 GB of music play. that's cool

The only issue I have with the N82 is that the GPS takes about 15 mins to get a satellite lock, after that it's fine, but 15 minutes, pah

^^^
15 mins is too much a timespan... are you sure it does like that all the time ??

_

H

i think that he talking bout the time taken by the GPS to get satellite lock on use after booting.

yes..

I have seen GPS locking in under two minutes with standalone GPS devices... may be on a internal GPS it might take somewhere bet 4 to 8 mins.. thats why asked..

mine takes 1 min that too without internet connection ..without A-GPS thing ..under clear sky that is .

I was talking about starting it in a moving vehicle, if I am standing still, it gets satellite lock within 4-6 mins.

1 min time is for standing still under open sky ..

btw, today i got 8gb micro sd for my n82 ..

H

^^^ how much did it cost u?

2.4k . sandisk .. from lamington road .
