Nokia N82 Multimedia Computer Phone

Nokia N82, a new phone with features rivaling the Nokia N95 but in a more pocket-friendly size. Sporting a Cybershot-esque candybar design, this 3G handset sports a 5 megapixel camera, 320 x 240 TFT screen, built in Wi-Fi and A2DP Bluetooth.

"The evolution of camera capabilities in mobile devices has been extremely fast over the past years. With the Nokia N82 we have reached such a superior level in image quality, speed and ease of use that not only does it outperform any other cameraphone on the market, but it's also a very credible alternative for single purpose digital still cameras," says Satu Ehrnrooth, head of Nokia Nseries Cameras Category, Multimedia, Nokia.

N82 comes with HSDPA browsing capability, wireless 802.11g compatibility, 2GB bundled memory expansion (100 MB internal memory) and a 5MP Carl Zeiss optical lens. With a 5 megapixel camera, powerful Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics, the Nokia N82 delivers remarkably vivid photographs, even in low-light conditions.
