You didn't say a thing about battery life. There's when thing sgo down - my N82 barely makes a day and I have to recharge it every night. The worst energy suckers are the radio and intenret radio, and media player as well.

I hadn't really tested the battery until last night. I was saving battery life for my next report.
In my experience, the N82 will last a whole day before needing a charge under my typical use. My N95 will be lucky to get halfway through.
Charging once per day should not be a concern. That's kinda standard nowadays for multimedia phones with a billion functions.
If you can't make it to the end of the day, you should be worried.

Although the many words defending N82 against N78, I think a newer device is allways better...

The N82 is starting to grow on me. The silver one is getting less uglier to me too.

Yes it is good phone, it may be better than the N95, but I am 100% sure that the N95 8GB is far better in everything except maybe the camera photo quality.

@ Watch Cane Online,
only thing better on the N95 is the screen and NAM 3g. everything else is the same on the n82, and a lot have reported that even the firmware is faster.
Great review Al i'm loving the n82 black as well.

Well, I've had my N82 for exactly a week (updated from the N73), and I still can't put it down! My primary reason for buying it was the GPS feature, which in a country like Cambodia is a godsend! I paid $5 for the Garmin map of Cambodia, and all I can say is WOW! Whoever did the mapping has spent an unbelievable amount of time on the project, which I can vouch for by goiung into the countryside around Kandal province, and getting intentionally lost! The Garmin map has every little village/commune and two house settlement on it. The camara is well better than the 5 megapixel job which I bought last year, and the video is 1000% better than my N73's (with excellent sound pickup). I could go on for ages about how happy I am with the N82, but I think it speaks for itself. As regards battery endurance, I just bought a 2nd battery for $9, which sits in my wallet nicely, and hasn't been needed yet, even though I leave the GPS reciever on all the time. The 'Geotagging' feature is amazing, and I now just snap away, when I'm buzzing around, then open all my pics into Copiks PhotoMapper, which reads the automatic GPS location data on the photo, then displays it and the location directly in Google Earth! I went for the N82 as a toss up between that and the N95 8Gb, because of the bad reviews re battery of the N95, and the fact that it's not a slider, which can get more easily damaged. No bugs to report (it's wayyyyyy faster than my old N73 with all applications), and has had NO Freezing problems to date. I think that there is an updated firmware version now, but in my opinion, "if it ain't broke - don't fix it!", so I'll leave it as per out of the box for now. I've just installed "sportstracker", and had a walk around the office building to test it, and it's great to see your route directly overlayed on Google Earth. Tomorrow I'm off out again to play with "sports tracker'. Sorry about the emphasis on the GPS side of things, but that's my main use of the phone. Have a good day.

Based on the online thoughts...
the very difference between the N95 8GB and N82 is that N82 got the faster responsive in Camera, Boot Startup... but the rest I would prefer N95 8GB...

The N95 was (and still is) a classic. i had mine for nearly 2 years and it worked perfectly. My brother upgraded to an N95 8G which looks awsome in the black. I should probably too but instead was tempted by the Samsung toco as my next slide mobile. I severe let down. Hopeless navigation and unresponsive touch screen
