Massively equipment and good values in the laboratory: The N82 replaces after only one month Nokia E51 at the point of the connect Leaderboard.

Nokia is a power: In things equipment can oppose for the moment nobody to the Finns somewhat. At the same time models, which convince with good receipt, good sound and much perseverance also as telephones, succeed to them for some time. What knows now the N82 particularly well the fact that it leaves all internal and external contractors behind itself and it comfortable for at least one month on the winner landing of the good list may make itself? For all, which are been versed in the Portofolio of the Finns: The N82 is simplified said a N95 in the bolt Design. Who looks for a mobile phone with integrated navigation, very good camera and also otherwise each quantity equipment, now an alternative has to the N95, which convinced with its wobbly Slider not completely. With the successor N95 8GB the processing leaves a better impression, which during a price recommendation of 770 euros naturally should be.

The most beautiful at the N82: Mobile phone is according to manufacturer as much to cost as the N95, i.e. 600 EUR, fares in the test however clearly better. The equipment covers itself to approximately 90 per cent with that of the N95, on the infrared interface does without Nokia meanwhile completely and with the connection for the enclosed data cable the fairings of the mini to the Micro USB socket transferred. But otherwise one finds, what one knows of the N95 - and some somewhat better.

Navigation: Antenna well places

Thus Nokia gave also a GPS receiver to the N82. The antenna, with the N95 some more unpractically under the keyboard attached, sits in the top of the housing. For a fast connection establishment to the GPS satellites the N82 Assisted GPS supports, uses thus information from the portable radio net. In the test it determined the own position also in the city within one minute.

Application Nokia map is up-played already, it offers free map material, a route planner and the search for special goals such as hotels in the proximity. If one wants to be able to be navigated however of the N82 with active announcements, one must book a liable to pay the costs auxiliary service. The maps, area cutouts are not before-installed get themselves the N82 only if necessary over the portable radio net - which with the wrong data tariff becomes naturally fast expensive. It is therefore advisable to install the software map Loader on the computer and to transfer over a fixed net Internet connection the road maps on the N82. Whereby one may not lose sight of memory resources: Nokia provides 2 GB a large memory card, the N82 offers about 120 MT. The maps for all of Germany occupy about 270 MT, completely Europe scarcely 1.5 GB.

Camera: Genuine lightning

Not only the N82 has the GPS receiver in common, also the 5-Megapixel-Camera with the N95. A small slidegate valve protects the objective sunk deeply in the housing and starts when opening the camera menu. Over the navigation key one can make the necessary attitudes, switch about white alignment or ISO sensitivity, and lightning on. Instead of the usual LED, which possesses also the N95, here xenon lightning comes to the employment. While LEDs continue to extend usually hardly as a meter, the N82 illuminates also motives in a few meter distance properly. A preflash prevents the typical red eyes with portraits. The autofocus works reliably and quite quickly. If it is valid to take up jerky motives the autofocus can be switched off by choice of the sport mode. Altogether the image quality is very good. And with the Camcorder function Nokia depends the competition for a long time: The N82 notes large films with 30 pictures without jerking per second to 640 x van 480 pixels. Which is still missing now compared with a digital compact camera, is an optical zoom shot.

Much music and a video exit

Apart from these highlights there is for N-series-models typical the equipment, owing to the Series-60-
Surface running on all N-models stands the N82 besides openly for Symbian software. It works really quickly and was ready for use in the test after switching on on after well 20 seconden; here the Series-60-
Models made a good leap in this year, does to the operation of the nevertheless quite complex menu structure the short response times forward very well. Preinstalled is for example N-fee-application, the associated service was however to editorship conclusion not freely switched. Thus then directly a catalog can be through-browsed of plays, the plays can be tried out and bought at the N82. Besides there is a UKW radio and the Music player succeeded well, above at the housing is a 3,5-mm-socket for arbitrary Headsets.

Who knows Nokia Series-60-Surface, must something training period will feel beginners domestic immediately into the powerful, but according to complex system invest. To make more simply operable the abundance at functions - that planned Nokia for the next year. With the N82 the main menu is nevertheless to be grasped limited to twelve entries and accordingly without
Scrolling. And over the Multimedia key to the left of the red telephone key one already gets a first impression, as the new menu could look.

Good laboratory values

Which brings the N82 at place to one of the good list: Mobile phone is also strong, where one does not see it at first sight. For instance with the perseverance: Approximately six hours of consulting hour and well eleven days Standby time in the GSM nets are tidy. However the values in the UMTS net sink on scarcely two hours of consulting hour and scarcely seven days readiness; in the case of doubt scolded one the UMTS receipt better off and has so longer chatting reserves. Is clear: Who uses the possibilities of the Jack of all trades intensively, can watch the accumulator the collapse. In particular navigation sucks strongly at the current memory, something similar is valid for the Internet access by Wireless LAN. Intensive users must live thus with load cycles of few days. In the sound test the N82 fares well. It could sound more natural when telephoning, the comprehensibility was however good and the sound so strong that one can telephone even in louder environment. The transmission and receipt quality lie likewise on good level and make the N82 to a reliable companion, that paints with weak net not equal the sails. Who wants to than only telephone more, at present no better mobile phone finds.
