Thoughts on the new toy, N82

April 26th, 2009

Its been a while since I’ve had a ‘flaunt value’ gadget :P I still have the Inspiron 1525 and its working great. But this post isn’t about Blossom, its about the shiny new phone I acquired recently, Nokia N82. It turns one month old today, so here’s a blogpost dedicated to it :)

I was using N72 prior to this but its memory card reader stopped working few months back and without it the phone was rendered rather useless.. Then a few days back the pop port stopped working and it was a sign from God that I needed a new phone :D

So thanks to mom, bro and sis I am a proud owner of N82. Had wanted it ever since it was launched.

The transition from N72 to N82 was easy, though had to check back some things on the owners manual as Nokia has re-arranged the menu’s. Have been a smartphone user since the good ‘ol Nokia 6600 days and must say that Nokia has put on heaps of work on the usability factor and all. Was initially skeptical about the keypad, as many people (on twitter) said that the keypad was cumbersome to use. Had tried it earlier as a senior @ hostel owned one till a few months back. Thought I still haven’t come across any problem with typing, my typing speed has also increased considerably.

Now many people have asked me why I bought an N82 and the answer is simple.. after having used Nokia 6600, N72 I’d be a fool if I didn’t get another symbian phone. But that’s not the right answer :P My iPod got stolen when we moved to the new hostel and then after a few days the N72 started showing errors. And I’ve always wanted a nice digital camera, so when we multiplex the 3 we get a N82 :D Ohh and GPS is an added advantage :D
