Nokia 82After the gaming punch of the N81, Nokia goes back and replenishes one of its old strengths, the camera phone. Besides all of the connectivity goodies like HSDPA, WiFi and A-GPS, the N82 improves on the N95's Carl Zeiss camera by adding a xenon flash. This means you can take pictures like a real professional with your N81.

Form-factor-wise, the N82 is a candybar with a smallish numeric keypad reminiscent of the N70. This improves the phone's sleekness, though for texters this might cause some dis-comfort. The 2.4-inch screen takes up most of the space up front. We can only assume it's all-metal casing, which is a nice touch for Nokia, but don't expect cotton balls in your pocket either.

The phone is already available throughout the globe for $657.

Update: Nokia doesn't seem to think the N82 deserves a larger marketing effort. The N82's debut is relatively free of fanfare. Look at the specs, however, HSDPA, WiFi, A-GPS, preloaded with Maps, gaming, video capture on the 5MP camera with Xenon flash, geo-tagging (available from a software update) and unlike the new N95, this phone's precious camera has a shutter cover.
