New phone; N95 or N82

doodah · 2 Mar 2008 at 02:59

Need a new phone/contract. Always had a Nokia phone but my last, the N73 was the worst phone i have ever owned! However, i really like the look of the N82 and it seems to have done pretty well. Looked a few random threads and noticed most people wanting a new (Nokia) phone go for the N95 8GB, isnt the N82 a little bit better specs wise? Basically the N95 or N82?

Use my phone mainly for texts and calls, other needs include...

Good music player, speakers
Good camera (especially in low light - clubs etc)
A quick UI
Ability to multitak effectively

Doubt i will use HDSPA (sp?) but most likely use Wifi at home, uni or free hot spots

Nope they're identical other than in the N82 you get a xenon flash but a smaller screen.

N95 8GB is a nice phone

very pleased with mine coming from a sony K800i.

If you want to take pictures in low light situations, go for the N82. The Xenon flash on it is very good.

the n95 hasnt been slow since they updated the firmware. its one of the quickest cameras around now. the flash isnt great though - i find the white balance was always off when i used it

Me too, loving it so far and it is almost the dream of a camera replacement!

Love my N82 too. I find the keys take some getting use to as I have a sausage for a thumb.

N82 for the flash and size. N95 for the 8GB memory.

The N82 has the crappiest keypad I've seen recently, ever since the absurdity on the SE W880i. If they came back with a keypad that doesn't involve growing fingernails just to text someone, I'll be more interested.

But on the other hand, the N95 is a little on the large side... so basically, you can't win.

Im a girl but I have no fingernails, I can txt absolutely fine on my n82, it just takes about a week of getting used to. I dont even need to look anymore when I type something.

If you have big hangs the N82 could pose some issues. I do not like the keys one bit.

You get used to them, honestly, I'm a big bloke and texting fine.
