In Depth Review Of The N82 BLACK

If there is one device that has launched enough punch last year it definitely has to be N82 and if there is something that generated more buzz and fervor than N82 then it was its Black Version. The black version is nothing a colored cousin of the original N82. Looking sexier and more royal, N82 Black is touted to be yet another marketing gimmick from Nokia, which is known to always release similar black versions of its popular models ranging from N70 to N95 yet all. These days it’s a trend for mobile enthusiasts to wait for Black versions of a popular N series Model before they make their purchase plans. It does make sense to do so. Obviously a black version of any N series mobile does look sexier and packs in more punch.

Over the weeks we will be covering an in depth review of the N82 Black version hands on…

So keep watching this space.

Nokia N82 Camera with Xenon Flash

I have never found mobile phone photography impressive on Nokia phones. I have had the 6230 and then the 6630 and the E61i.

The N82 has completely proved me wrong . The Nokia N82 has a 5 Mega pixel Camera equipped with Xenon flash .

The phone is the best Camera phone available in the market today. I m impressed with the kind of photographs this Nseries phone produces.

N95 and N95 8GB cannot better then N82.

The Camera has plenty of modes and also phone has dedicated Camera and zoom buttons.

If you cant believe what I say.. check out the pics below for yourself. They were clicked with an N82.

Form Factor and Display

This is one phone which is as solid as a brick. No rattling sounds from the body.Its so firmly packed and its feels great to use it though its slightly huge.The body is in plastic but it does not look cheap , its actually a good fit in the palm. The phone weighs about 114g and is pretty decent when you take into account the features of the phone. Display is a 240×320 screen with 16 million colors. Its usable in most places even in the Sun.

Nokia E61i Review

Nokia E61i is an enterprise phone loaded with features. It gives Blackberry handsets some serious competition.

Update : Nokia E71 is out and chk out the review

The handset fits snuggly in the hand (at least for me)

The design is impressive and has luxury touch added to it due to the metallic finish similar to the 8800

The phone is an upgraded version of the E61 which lacked a Camera and had a primitive browser. But the built of the E61i is much better than the E61. The keypad has undergone a transformation for the better.
