Nokia N82
(Credit: Nokia)Gather round kids, and meet the newest member of the Nokia N series: the Nokia N82. Boy, does this baby love the camera. It's equipped with a 5-megapixel camera, Carl Zeiss optics, up to 10x digital zoom, and a Xenon flash. In addition, it can record MPEG-4 VGA video at up to 30 frames per second. There's about 100MB of internal memory and a microSD expansion slot for storing all your photos and videos. The N82 also features a new multimedia menu where you can access the music player and Nokia's Ovi Internet services, which include the Nokia Music Store, N-gage games, and Nokia Maps.
The Nokia N82 has a multimedia focus, but this Symbian smartphone is also stocked with other goodies, including Wi-Fi (802.11b/g) and Bluetooth 2.0. You also get assisted GPS with the Nokia Maps application that preloaded on the device. The N82 only supports Europe's HSDPA band--whatever. The Nokia N82 is available in "key markets" (i.e., Europe and not the United States)--for about 450 euros--but we suspect you'll be able to buy an unlocked version soon enough. Start saving your pennies now.
