I applied as a Nokia mobile phone Tester last month since I really want to review some of the latest Nokia smart phones on this blog. It took almost a month before i got a notification that I got qualified to become a Nokia mobile phone tester.
Three days after receiving the notification, DHL contacted me yesterday to verify my address and to inform me about the customs charges etc.. which i need to pay for. Since I’m busy baking and cooking for my food blog, I told DHL to reschedule the delivery today. After receiving the trial unit, I immediately unbox it to checkout if the unit is working.
Why N82?
I specifically requested to review Nokia N82 because i think this is one of the hottest camera phones that is currently availabe in the market. I’m also impressed on its built in camera’s fantastic output, no wonder Nokia N82 won the 2008 TIPA’s awards for “Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe.”
“The Nokia N82 is a compact multimedia computer that integrates GPS, web, video and music functions around a 5 Megapixel camera with a high-speed, f/2.8 autofocus lens. This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the Nokia N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots.” - TIP jurors
I’ll be posting about my N82 experience as I go.

I am very interested in your experience with the Nokia N82 and hope you will post more comments. I’ve had two Nokias and after the last one, swore off them. But if the camera is good I might be more interested. It’s aggravating to use the darned phone for a picture - and it’s almost unrecognizable. So looking forward to future updates.

I believe the future is very much touch screen. Within a couple of years, i believe keypads will be out. Just today, Blackberry launched the Storm which apparently gives some sort of sentation when tap on it to type. It will be interesting to see what this user experience has to offer

Seeing the unboxing of a phone is a reasonable thing to notice, but I would say that I’ve seen quite a few unboxings at this time. It would seem that actually purchasing the product for that part of the experience is not as interesting after having gone through the process vicariously through others.
