Nokia N82

The Nokia N82 is a smartphone announced by Nokia on November 14 2007. It is part of the companies Nseries line of smartphones which features the N-Gage gaming platform and the Nokia Music store (where available). The N82 runs Symbian OS v9.2 based S60 3rd Edition platform with Feature Pack 1.

The first Nokia phone with Xenon flash, the N82 has a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and was considered the best camera phone on the market[1][2] until the arrival of the Nokia N86 8MP.

Discussions and head to head comparisons of these two models demonstrate the N86 8MP, which is equipped with dual LED flash, is not consistently capable of outperforming the N82 in variable lighting.[3] The primary advantage of using LED is light source for video recording, whereas the Xenon flash has a stronger burst of light, but it cannot be used for recording videos due to its technical composition.[4]

The N82 includes a built-in accelerometer for video stabilisation and photo orientation (to keep landscape or portrait shots oriented as taken). The N82 has automatic screen rotation (270, not 180 nor 90 degrees), as a standard feature.

The China market version of the N82 has a different hardware platform and has Wi-Fi and the UMTS radio removed (i.e. no 3G support). It also has a different product code (RM-314 as opposed to RM-313) and the firmware is not compatible. It can be easily identified by the lack of the line saying "WLAN scanning" on the idle screen. This version is for mainland China only and the N82s in Hong Kong and Macau are standard APAC RM-313s with the 3G and Wi-Fi.Contents [hide]

Camera privacy

The N82 camera makes a shutter sound and flashes the focusing light near the phone's flash while taking a picture. Although the sound can be changed, it cannot be turned off in many regions including Asia and North America. This feature was implemented to protect people's privacy. The European and Chinese firmware are exceptions to this as they can mute the shutter sound when the mobile is in silent mode.
