Nokia has rolled out the rumoured extension to the N series line-up,a candybar alternative to the N95 sliderphone, dubbed the N82.
Rumoured to be in production since August,the N82’s appearance confirms the majority of features originallyleaked. It boasts a five-megapixel camera with a xenon flash and CarlZeiss optics, and sports a 2.4in display that rotates from portrait tolandscape view at the flick of a wrist, thanks to a built inaccelerometer.
The device includes Assisted GPS technology, which already features on Nokia’s N95handset, and compensates for weak satellite signals by sending dataabout your current location over your carrier’s network – which ofcourse you pay for. However, several TomTom-esque maps comepreinstalled and Nokia’s thrown in a trial of its voice-guidednavigation utility.
Should you still want to make the occasional voice call, then thehandset’s also a quad-band GSM/GPRS/Edge device and can make HSDPA 3Gconnections for data and video calls. There’s 802.11b/g Wi-Ficonnectivity on-board, and downloaded content can be stored on thebundled 2GB Micro SD card.
Additional connectivity options include USB 2.0 and Bluetooth, with A2DP for streaming audio to wireless headphones.
The N82 is available now in what Nokia calls “key marketsâ€, which hopefully includes the UK. It’s priced at €450 (£320/$640).
