Nokia N82 Joins Orange Network UK - N-series Nokia N82

The Nokia N82 was originally launched over 4 weeks ago on O2 in the UK, this was a network exclusive and until today consumers could only connect the N82 to an O2 contract tariff.

But that has all changed today as the shackles of the exclusive launch period are over the Nokia N82 has now been made available on Orange contract deals.

This is great news for consumers as there are now double the amount of tariffs available for them to choose from when trying to match their usage requirements of minutes and text.

The Nokia N82 has also been released as a pay as you go mobile phone but for most users this can work out far more expensive when comparing call costs against contract packages.

The new N-Series handset was also made available as a SIM free phone but this upfront expense is far more than the subsidised prices offered with a network contract, and bearing in mind that the Nokia N82 is a top of the range N-Series phone the purchase price may be a little out of reach of many consumers, that said freedom always comes with a price.

The Nokia N82 is a top quality camera phone, with a 5.0 megapixel camera, auto focus, Carl Zeiss Lens and Xenon flash. Camera load time is much quicker than other camera phones in its market sector, and image capture provides crisp, clean shots. Browsing through gallery is snappy and quick, and pictures can be viewed in landscape mode by tilting the phone on its side, thanks to the built in motion sensor application. The motion sensor works in most applications, such as web browser or gallery, but does not work in the main menu view.

Aimed at technology stylists, The N82 is designed for users who like their handsets to look good, whilst at the same time having a handset that supports all the latest features. And the N82 doesn't disappoint. As well as a top of the range camera, the Nokia N82 supports WiFi and Bluetooth for data transfer and connectivity, plus 3G and Mobile Broadband for fast download speeds

The Nokia N82 is equipped with a GPS chip, and also supports A-GPS. Location pick up within the supplied Nokia Maps application is very fast, average time is under 10 seconds.

The handset has a built in MP3 player, and has stereo speakers which give excellent playback and clear sound quality. The N82 runs on S60 firmware. This means as well as the long list of features offered by the N82, you can add additional functionality by adding third party applications. The phone is designed with a chrome style faceplate and a smart plastic design shell, which feels good in the hand and is well balanced.

Overall the Nokia N82 is a top quality handset and an excellent addition to the NSeries range. Once again Nokia have raised the standard by which other mobile phones are judged.

The Nokia N82 is available now on O2, Orange, Pay As You Go and SIM Free with further network rollouts expected very soon.
