Nokia N82

Was thinking about getting this phone, but no matter how much I try, I just can't get myself to like the look of it.

I'm torn between the N95 or the Viewty really.

If you can wait untill Q1 - the N82 will be released in different colours.

Is there any reason why people will choose this over the n95?

The n82 phone has no style :/
 
I dont see the N95 8GB a huge hit within the looks department either though.

Basically, its the same but without the slider. Just what you are used to I guess.
 
The mirror finish silver front plate with a plain silver plastic back makes it look quite cheap and tacky imo. Why do they insist on having shiny silver mirror finish, it looks good for like 5 seconds before being covered with fingerprints. That is unless you wear gloves all the time :p . I much prefer a brushed metal finish like the 6500 slide it looks much classier and it isnt a fingerprint magnet.
 
I have to agree with you there. It was the same with the LG shine when I first had a play around with that. It looked great but after a min or so, then it was horrible.

I saw an advert for the new Sammy G800. It looks mint but I cant help wondering if its going to get covered in fingerprints after a couple of mins and look rubish.
 
orange arent releasing this either! GREAT!

Looks like ill be moving operators afterall

Probably the best thing you can do, orange are appalling.

It's a shame they didn't make it more sturdy in build quality... how the **** they can justify giving a £400 value to a phone that feels cheap and plasticky is almost beyond belief. :(

feels cheap and plasticy?? I read in all the review the quality of the build is very solid, not cheap at all. ok so the back looks a bit rubbish but thats it.

The design of the phone, in my opinion, will not win any beauty contests. It looks and feels plasticky...

...On the N91, they feel sturdy,like they are made of metal and click with a very positive action. Here, they feel like plastic.

...I know it looks rather good in the pictures, like glass and metal, but in real life, that's not the case. It's looks like a light chunk of plastic, which it is.

So yes, seems it's similar to the N73 in that respect.
 
TBH

until the phone is out, and you personally have it in your hand, and can make your own personal decision on whether you like the feel of it or not, reviews and words of others mean little
 
Yea, thats what Im thinking.

Still open minded about the phone. Ive yet to get my hands on the N95 8GB either. Once I do, then I can make a good comparison between the 2 phones.

One of them is going to be lasting me 12 / 18 months, so it has to be decent build quality.

Reviews are there to help us make buying decisions, and just because the phone IS cheap and plasticky doesn't mean I won't buy it... I did get the N73 after all.
