+A Photastic Device with Downs: The Nokia N82!

A Photastic Device with Downs: The Nokia N82!

Nokia N82It has never been so hard for me, as critical Reviewer, to report you Guys over a Phone than the Nokia N82. It really splits my Mind.

On one Side I really like it, as it's a powerful Symbian Device with an outstanding Camera, on the other Hand it has some awfull Downsides, completely useless Things .. It gives you great Joy on one Hand, the next Second it forces you to get it back in the Pocket with loads of Anger. So here we go, let's have a Look at the Nokia N82 ..

THE HARDWARE

The Nokia N82 is a Candy bar Device in a glossy, stylish (?) Silver Paint Look, measuring 112 x 50,2 x 17,3 mm's .. Quite big you think? Well the N82 features Lots of Function, which needs some Space, so I think it's okay. It is slightly smaller than my Nokia E70, like you can see in the Photo, fits good in my Pocket, if only it has been a bit thinner .. But anyway, the Size is okay and a Weight of 114g is not so bad too!

If we look at the Front of the Device, you can see the 2,4" QVGA Screen, again unfortunately QVGA only, which is the Standard in Nokia Phones nowadays .. It would have been nice to see at least 352x416 Resolution Screens in High-End Devices like the N82, but Nokia just refuses to give us more than QVGA. Above the Screen, like in nearly all N-Series Devices, the Front Cam for Video Calls (CIF - 352 x 288 pixels) and the Light Sensor.

Under the Screen and Nokia Label, the probably biggest Downside of the whole Device starts, the D-Pad! Coming in a mixture of glossy and matt-finished Parts, the D-Pad surprised me at first, but not in a good Way. The red and green Call Buttons are located on the outer left and right Side, and are a bit hard to press, sometimes they don't react, when I hit them like I would normally.

Nokia N82

If we go near the Center the left Side gives us the Menu Key and left Soft key. There is absolutely NO Difference between these two Keys, so try to hit them blind.. On the opposite right Side is the worst Thing I’ve ever seen. C-Key and the right Soft key - they are separated, with the Multimedia Menu Button, that is coming out of the Phone and makes it VERY hard to hit the right Soft key.

This is probably the most stupid Design I’ve ever seen in a long Time. I hit the MMM Button about a Million Times, and I’m still not getting used to it. This is definitely something that needs a HUGE improvement! The Number Buttons were the Thing I was most concerned about, so tiny Buttons, never done before on a Nokia Device, but surprise, surprise - they work really good, and I got used to them after 2 Days of playing around with the Device. I never thought that, but maybe that is, because I have quite small Fingers .. I don’t know about People with larger Thumbs .. But for me, it worked well and I’m really happy with it, almost as fast as on my Nokia N95!

But how, how in the blue Hell could Nokia remove the Pencil Button? The Pencil Button was a time-saving Friend with many Functions. I used it a lot to copy/paste .. It is implemented now in the #-Key, but it just isn't the Same ..

The right Side of the Phone gives us the typical Nokia Right Side, Camera Button, Gallery Button and the Volume/Zoom Buttons. A nice Improvement are the Stereo Speakers, which are both located on the right Side of the Phone. Nice Move, especially when you watch Videos in Landscape Mode. On Top of the Device we have the On/Off Button and the 3,5mm Headphone Plug, another good Thing, so your Phone can be in the Pocket, the Cables won't be twisted!

The left Side features the micro USB Port which supports USB 2.0 and the microSD Slot. I got the N82 ready with a 2 GB MicroSD card, but I think that is different in each Country .. A Thing that's also connected on the left Side is the Charging Plug, located near in the same Region as the Number Buttons. So can please anyone at Nokia tell me, how to type, while the Phone charges? Anyone made up his Mind on this yet?? The Bottom of the N82 is pretty much nothing, only a little Hole where the Microphone is located, so why not put the Charging Whole there??

The Backside of the Nokia N82 comes in a glossy Finish, unfortunately it is VERY VERY slick. I can remember one Time when I was in Bed, the N82 slipped out of my Hand and crashed directly in my Face, which resulted in a nice Bruise, directly on the Nose. But on Top of that is the Thing that makes the N82 one of the best Devices out there: The 5 MP Carl Zeiss Camera with Autofocus and Xenon Flash! Nokia gave the Camera an active Cam Protection, a Slide Shutter, like on the N95 Classic, which starts the Cam Application, when your slide it opens! Good Move Nokia, thanks for that!

THE CAM

This brings us directly to the most outstanding Feature of the Nokia N82 - The Camera! I'm no Photography Expert like my Friend Mazor or Teo, so I can't tell you any Details about Sensor Technology and such Stuff, and even if I knew something about it, I won't tell much about it!

The Main Camera of the Nokia N82 is a 5 Megapixel Camera, with the well known Carl Zeiss Optic Parts and Tessar Lens. The biggest Difference between the N95 and the N82 is the integrated Xenon Flash, which beats the N95 Cam especially in lower Light Situations, like you can see in the different Cam Duels between those two High End Phones. While the N95 Flash has it’s Problems with dark Environments, the N82 Cam works out unbelievably good, giving clear Light, even in a few Meters Distance.

The Tons of Possibilities to edit the Picture on the Phone and the Different Camera Settings are making the N82 a real Competition to mid-Class Digital Cameras! The Camera is probably the Part I’ll miss the Most, when I have to send it back tomorrow.

Video Recording is done at VGA Resolution (640x480) at 30 fps. It can be compared to the N95 Video Quality, Playback is very smooth and is even cool to watch at the TV Screen!

CONNECTIVITY

Same like the N95, the Nokia N82 is a Connectivity Beast. We not only have 3G for Data, but HSDPA as well up to 3,6 Mbits. Data Connections were always fun to use, everything reacted superfast, Web Sites are opening wery fast and looked nice in the integrated Web Browser. We also have WLAN (802.11 b/g) on Board, which works like a Charm as well. One Thing I didn't like: When I was at Home and started browsing and the Web Browser asked for Connections, The N95 always gives the existing WLAN AP ("Home" WLAN at my Home) as separated Access Point, while the N82 needs to search for WLAN.

What else do we have? Bluetooth with A2DP stereo audio, UPnP Technology, MicroUSB with USB 2.0 Support .. A full Package, even visible on your TV - TV OUT is the Magic Word!

GPS NAVIGATION

While I had the Nokia N82, Nokia has presented the Beta of Nokia Maps 2.0, which I installed immediately, after I tried it out at the N95, with Assistance of the Nokia LD-4W Bluetooth GPS Module. I decided to leave the LD-4W out of the N82 and was just using A-GPS, the assisted Navigation Option, which requires Web Connection on your Phone.

Nokia LD-4W Nokia LD-4W

The Web Connection helps to do a quicker Lock with the GPS Satellites. In the Practice, this worked fine, and just required a few Kbs each Time. The Lock took me about 20 seconds, after that the GPS worked fully. Still I’m not completely satisfied, there are some Cuts in the Navigation which needs re-connection .. So I suggest here also, the Nokia LD-4W!

MULTIMEDIA/MUSIC

Of Course Multimedia is also present, starting with the redesigned Multimedia Menu, which I already posted about on my Ex-Nokian Blog some Time ago, when I trialed the N95 8GB! The Multimedia Menu is not looking so bad, but it's VERY far away from the Functionality of the MM on the Nokia N95. It can't be modded this easily, so it's not that much Joy.

Music Player, FM Radio, Podcasts, and the new Nokia Music Shop making the N82 a Multimedia Device of first Class!

ACCELEROMETER

The N82 is the first Nokia Phone that features automatically 90° Display Turns, using the Built In Accelerometer. This comes in very handy for Web Browsing, Gallery Watching etc .. But what I’m missing is a Hotkey, like Rotateme. The Function to switch it on/off is deep in the Settings of the Display, which is a long Road to go ..

N-GAGE GAMING

N-Gage Gaming has also worked nice on the N82, the Demo Application was pre-installed and ready to rock. The well known FIFA and Asphalt 3 worked very very smooth. I didn't install the first Access Mod on the N82, but as I said, the Demos worked really well! The 3D Gaming Hardware is also built in the N82 and makes gaming a real nice Experience!

Conclusion

Although the Nokia N82 is far away from perfect, it surely has some good Points as well. The Fact that it is a Candybar Phone, reduces the Risk of getting some loose Parts to nothing! Feature Pack 1 adds some nice Features as well. The definitely best Part of this Device is the impressive Camera. The Xenon Flash rises Mobile Photography up on a new Level and improves the Quality a whole Lot more, than on the Nokia N95. In normal Daylight the 2 Phones are doing near similar Shots, whilst on Lower Light or Night Shots, the N82 shows it's real Power. Most of the Comparison Shots has been made in the Evening, so you can see the TRUE Power!

On the other Hand the Nokia N82 has the most un-useful, un-comfortable Design I’ve seen in a long Time. The D-Pad is near a Catastrophe, the Multimedia Button is on the worst Place ever!! I have also noticed that the Buttons are quite loud when you press them, which is also not too good. The Screen Resolution could also be better, at least 352x416, but I guess we're far away to get this! .. Also the slick slippery Backside of the Phone is a downside for me!

Overall I like to give the Nokia N82 6/10 Rating .. The Downside are taking over the Phone, and I just can't get a Phone cause of the good Camera. Sure I will think back about it, whenever I take a Pic with my N95, but well .. the D-Pad, the slippery Backside, the wrong Charging Position, .. It's just too much! It is definitely not a bad Phone and it deserves the Tag "Photo Flagship", but some Downsides and the bad Design are taking the No. 1 Title away from this Device!

+Kodak aims for 5-megapixel phone cameras

Kodak aims for 5-megapixel phone cameras

Kodak says its new 5-megapixel sensor will fit in the small camera packages of mainstream mobile phones.

(Credit: Kodak)

Eastman Kodak hopes turning one aspect of chip design on its head will help improve cell phone cameras--or at least help their image quality catch up with their megapixel increases.

"We believe we've created a new camera sensor product that rivals that of real cameras, but it's small enough to be used in a camera phone," said Fas Mosleh, manager of CMOS market work for Kodak's professional and applied imaging group.

There have been nice cameras in high-end mobile phones such as Nokia's N95, but Kodak believes its technology, built into a 5-megapixel sensor product to ship by the end of the year, will help bring better cameras to mainstream mobile phones.

Semiconductor chips currently detect light essentially by counting how many electrons result from light striking a pixel on the image sensor. More intense light means more electrons, and that electronic signal can be converted into digital data.

But Kodak believes it can get some improvements by rewiring the image sensor design to detect the absence of electrons instead--in effect counting "holes" rather than electrons. To do so, some sensor circuitry must be rewired, but Kodak argues that the technology produces less noise than conventional sensors.

The upshot, as promised by Kodak: better picture quality, or the same picture quality when shooting in dim light conditions such as those that prevail in most indoor scenes.

A basic problem with image sensors is the challenge of distinguishing the light's signal--the actual photons striking the sensor--from electronic noise within the sensor. That problem gets worse as pixels get smaller, so more megapixels isn't necessarily progress.

"Image quality has been deteriorating because your image resolution has been going up. Pixelization is better, but your low-light performance is worse," Mosleh said. "If you pick up a camera phone from 2003 or 2004 and compare to one from 2008, that old one will produce nicer pictures."

For product purposes, Kodak is pairing the hole-detector technology with a new color filter array Kodak calls Clear Pixel that's designed to improve low-light performance even more by devoting some pixels to measuring just brightness instead of color.

The 5-megapixel technology package, called the KAC05020, will fit into a small package measuring about .25 inch square and costing between $3 and $6 in large quantities, depending on what associated technology and software is included, Kodak said. It will support capture of 720p high-definition video, too.

Kodak researchers are presenting the sensor technology at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference on Monday in San Francisco.

The hole-detector pMOS technology could apply to larger sensors, but its benefits are clearer on small sensors, Mosleh said.

Kodak will offer KAC05020 samples in the second quarter, with high-volume shipments in the fourth quarter, the company said.

The hole detection, called pMOS in contrast to the usual NMOS sensors, can be built with no changes to semiconductor manufacturing, Mosleh said. However, some changes are necessary. "Pixel designers who have been working with collecting electrons now are collecting the absence. And the circuits coming off the sensor need to be repositioned, so support electronics need to be changed," he said.

Kodak's Clear Pixel technology, a variation on the Bayer pattern color filter array the company invented decades ago and now almost universal in digital cameras, is designed to improve sensitivity by devoting more pixels to detecting light intensity rather than color.

+ Nokia N82 User Review

24 February 2008

Another Opinion
Nokia N82 User Review!

Nokia N82 Thanks to an incredible opportunity from Womworld, I got the chance to trial the Nokia N82 for 2 weeks. From reading other people’s reviews, I was excited to get my hands on this device.

There were some very good points, but also some bad points in the reviews I read. I shall keep an open mind during this review, and will comment on my observations and experiences.

During the trial, I’ll be deciding whether or not to buy the N82 myself. But judging from what I’ve read and heard, it will be a smart move to buy this baby.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find a version of Screenshot that functions on the N82 without signing the application.

First Impressions

Well the delivery has just arrived!!!! I opened the box to reveal the N82 in its silvery glory. It’s actually bigger than I imagined it would be, but at the same time it seemed lighter than the N95. Now the fun starts!

Package Contents

Aside from the device itself, all the usual suspects were there....battery, headset, USB cable, TV out cable, data cd and the ubiquitous user manuals. The sales packages will of course differ from region to region and some packages include the 2GB Nokia MicroSD card. Those regions that include a memory card have the maps for the corresponding region loaded on the card, along with a 90 navigation licence for that region.

Form Factor & Build Quality

For the N82, Nokia chose to go back to the candybar design. I for one love the candybar design. Everything you need is there on the device. You don’t need to fiddle with sliders. It also cuts down on complaints on dodgy wobbly sliders that plagued the N95. The N82 is robust and tidy. Some have reported that the entire skin of the device is scratch proof. However, from the trial handset I received, this is clearly not the case as the screen cover, back cover and silver skin were clearly buffed and lightly scratched from everyday use.

Display & User Interface

The trial device came with the latest firmware V11.0.117. The N82’s operating system is S60 3rd Edition FP1. Being a previous N95 owner/user, I’m used to the Feature Pack 1 interface. Nokia elected to use the new menu and icon layout that’s used in the N95 V20.xxx firmware. This removes the Themes application icon, so the only way to change the theme is to go in through the phone’s settings. So far, I have yet to come across a theme which actually has and uses the Theme Effects option. It also reorganises the icons, grouping similar programs and features into folders for “easier access”.

Nokia N82 Nokia N82

The new Multimedia Menu is there too. I’ve found this to be very attractive. It lacks the customisation of the N95-1’s menu, but that doesn’t bother me, as I never really used the menu on the N95. The increased amount of ram makes the device seem much faster that the N95-1. And I can imagine that with future firmware updates, the speed of the device will change again (hopefully for the better). The display is a 2.4 inch 16 million colour display with a QVGA (320 by 240) resolution.

The size and pixel density of the screen makes the interface, images, videos and games appear crystal clear. The only downfall of the screen is that it’s a little dimmer than the screen on the N95, even at maximum brightness. I found the automatic screen rotation to be very responsive. I like the fact that it does not rotate the stand-by screen.

Keypad & D-Pad


The keypad certainly takes some getting used to. The keys are small, but surprisingly easy to use. A lot of people have complained about the lack of the pencil key. Nokia have provided an alternative to it, which is good and useful. The disadvantage of this alternative is that fact that programs created that already have mappings on the pencil key need to be re-written for the new key mappings. Contrary to other reviews and forum posts, I actually do like the D Pad. It is springy and responsive. But over time, I can see it becoming very loose.

The positioning of the multimedia button is a little ill-thought. For those with large thumbs, the button will be inadvertently pressed while attempting to press the Right Selection Key. But again, that is something that we have to get used to.

Speakers, Music & Multimedia

In my opinion, the position of the speakers is not the best. During normal use, the bottom speaker will be blocked by fellow right-handed people (maybe they designed it with “Lefties” in mind). The official line is that the speakers are “positioned for optimum use during multimedia playback in landscape mode”. The speakers seem somewhat quieter than those on the N95, and are prone to slight distortion in the higher and lower frequencies at max volume.The music player is exactly the same as the one on the N95, but it is a robust player with built in EQ, Loudness and Stereo Widening, and of course the basic Visualizations.


The headset supplied is basic but effective. The earphones provide good frequency and bass response. It does lack the controls that the N95 headset had, so all controlling of the music player is done on the N82. But we are gaining in the fact that we don’t have to take our headsets apart to change the battery in the controls.

Imaging & video

The camera is top quality. In low light conditions the camera and Xenon flash function just as well as any other commercially available digital camera. Publishing your pictures to your blog or photostream is as simple as ever, and is simplified even more using the updated ShareOnline 3.0. The video recording and playback is just as excellent as the N95. The TV-Out feature works perfectly. Both picture and audio are outputted with excellent quality. This of course depends on the screen you are connecting to.

Maps

The pre-installed Nokia Maps application is the latest official build of Nokia Maps. It has the same functionality as the N95 Nokia Maps. GPS Lock seems to be much quicker on the N82. The longest I’ve had to wait for a full lock is about 45 seconds. The Nokia Maps 2.0 beta works brilliantly. Any existing navigation licence will be valid with the new application, and should transfer over seamlessly.

Nokia N82 Nokia N82

The new Maps program is very stable for a beta version. It is easier to navigate with, and easier to search for points of interest and addresses, as they have included a search box in the application main screen. One thing that appears to be missing from the Maps 2.0 application is the “satellite status” info. It’s kind of annoying when you are trying to find out how your gps fix is coming along and the info isn’t there. The new maps finally have my estate!!!!

N-Gage

The N-gage Preview comes pre-installed, with the same 2 demos (FIFA 07 and Asphalt 3). These run very smooth thanks to the increased ram. All we have to do is wait for Nokia to fully release N-Gage. Or at least officially extend First Access to the N82. I did however install the first access program. It installed and worked fine, and actually seemed more responsive and very smooth. By installing First Access, you will lose your N-Gage Preview, but uninstalling all components of First Access using Application Manager will revert the N-Gage app back to the pre-installed preview.

Browsing & Wi-Fi

Browsing is the same as the N95. The Safari web browser is incredibly versatile. The only problem I encountered is that the homepage of my network (3 Ireland) refuses to load. 3 Ireland are incredibly secured with most TCP/IP communication ports closed behind their firewall. Of course 3 Ireland’s excuse is “you are having this problem because you are using an unsupported phone. You will have to wait until that

handset is supported and on the market and provided by 3”. And when I asked when that will be, I get “we currently do not have a date for the release of this handset on our network, neither can I confirm or deny that this phone will be supported”. The funny thing is, the N95 uses the same platform as the N82, yet it worked perfectly and brought up “Planet 3” without any complaints. When I changed over to 3 Ireland, the N95 wasn’t available on the network, so the excuse of “unsupported device” really doesn’t hold much water.


The WiFi seems very responsive and so far I have had no problems connecting to my wireless router, or my neighbour’s routers. Home media networking is as it was on the N95.

Connectivity

The phone employs the new MicroUSB interface (yet another cable coming out of my pc). Data transfers through the cable are fast and stable. Nokia have decided to remove the IrDA interface, as it now out of fashion. The phone fully supports Bluetooth 2.0 with full support for A2DP. I still have yet to find a Bluetooth dongle and pc application that supports A2DP though.

Final Thoughts: A truly enjoyable experience was had while trialling this device and in writing this review. The sad thing is, with SymbianSigned the way it is these days, I was unable to get a new certificate to sign applications to use on the phone. Let’s hope the re-open the Opening Signing process again very soon.

Yes, the phone has its bad points, but the good points outweigh the bad. I would have no problem spending money to buy this phone. And I would certainly recommend it. People who already have the N95 will not gain too much if they decide to add the N82 to their collection. But anyone who has not experienced the technological prowess of either device will have a great time with the N82

Its highly suggestible to update phone to the latest firmware version because it improves phone’s performance as well as fixing known bugs and problems from previous versions.

At the moment it’s necessary to look fro nearest Nokia service centre and bring your mobile device to a service facility to reflash the memory and update phone with latest firmware version. Although there are some solutions for flashing BB5 phones at home with DKU-2 cable, but it isn’t suggestible because it’s the very delicate procedure and you can kill your phone completely! Last but not the least as far as we know, its quite illegal because it requires cracked Phoenix Service soft and protected original Nokia MCU and PPM files and therefore we just can’t provide more information at the moment.



The only good thing about flashing is fact that latest evolution of S60 platform (S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1) introduces new features such as Firmware upgrade Over The Air (FOTA). Firmware over the air (FOTA) technology enables cost effective mobile phone firmware updates. By using OTA methods to update mobile phone firmware and to patch flaws in the firmware originally installed on the handset, users no longer need to bring the handset to a service facility to update the firmware on their mobile phone


UPDATE!!!!!!


"Do It Yourself"

Nokia Software Updater
is online and ready for download!

Nokia has released a "Nokia Software Updater" its the flashing software which allows you to keep your phone up-to-date, as well as fix a potential operation problems you may have by updating your phone firmware regularly.

The software and update packages are provided by Nokia free of charge and it gives users the abillity to update their phone(s) without need to bring the handset to a service facility to update the firmware on their mobile phone.

Over the last several years, mobile phones have undergone a transformation from relatively simple voice-based handsets to more sophisticated multimedia communication devices, and they now commonly include MP3 player, came.
