Nokia N82
With WiFi, HSDPA, satnav and a 3.5mm jack for adding proper earphones, the N82 is so crammed with features we can almost forgive its typically boring, Nokia design.What it desperately lacks is style, it makes up for in performance, and the on-board camera is no exception. The N82’s Carl Zeiss lens and 5-meg sensor produce impressive results, with a brilliant macro mode and a xenon flash. It also brazenly flaunts all the features you would expect on a compact: scene modes, burst mode, adjustable white balance, exposure compensation, sharpness and sensitivity; they’re all there. It’s all controlled with the good old responsive buttons, instead of faddish and temperamental touch controls. The battery isn’t great and the central button doesn’t double as a shutter for some weird reason, but this is still a terrific camera-phone.
We say - An outstanding phone and a serious rival to your compact camera, as long as you can get past looks that are more workmanlike than a labour exchange.
