A good
alt to the N95, the N81 has very nearly the same features, but
at a lower price. It's a classic style with GPS navigation, an
outstanding 5 megapixel camera, media player, wireless LAN, a 2
Gbyte memory card

Nokia N95 has been Nokia's best-selling smartphone of 2007, and
with sales remaining strong and with no clear competitor from
the other manufacturers, the N95 will probably continue to sell
well into 2008. The role of the N82 then, is not to push the
boundaries of technology any further, rather it's to offer
essentially the same features as the N95, but in a different
package that will broaden its appeal.
Probably the most significant difference is
the price: the N82 should retail for around £150 less than the
N95. That's a big difference and presumably reflects the fact
that this is repackaged technology. The screen on the N82 is
slightly smaller, but the phone itself is slightly narrower and
slimmer too. The weight is slightly less, but not enough to make
any real difference. We prefer the keypad of the N95 - the N82
has fiddly little buttons - but with fewer "extra" buttons, the
N82 arguably has a simpler user interface. For this reason, we
are hoping that the N82 will be less buggy than initial
versions of the N95, although we've yet to see a Series 60 phone
that didn't have some bugs. One further difference is that the
N82 ships with a 2 Gbyte
memory card, whereas the N95 comes with a 4 or 8 Gbyte
card.
Although they look quite different, the
specifications of the N82 and N95 are so nearly identical, that
we'll refer you to our
in-depth review of the Nokia
N95 to learn more. The detailed specification is
listed below. Suffice to say that you can't really get more from
a phone than you can from the N82: possibly the best camera in a
mobile phone (5 megapixels with autofocus and xenon flash), GPS
navigation, a superb screen, high-speed 3G, WLAN, a huge memory,
etc
