Nokia N82

Other Features
Nokia Maps is a great GPS software to use, especially with screen rotation. Just download the maps and you’re good to go. Search allows you to easily find data in the phone from one convenient application that also works like a browser. The Switch option, found in the newer Nokias, lets you connect to other compatible Nokia devices and transfer data (such as contacts) via Bluetooth.

Business features include QuickOffice, but you will have to download and pay for the update that will allow you to edit files. There’s also a PDF viewer and Zip Manager. The Barcode reader is not something you may need to use often (if at all). An inbuilt business card reader would have definitely made more sense. Other applications include Calendar, Notes, Alarm clock, Converter, Calculator, but sadly there's no World Clock. Nokia Catalogs provides a choice of wallpapers, themes and other apps that you can purchase or download for free. Text-to-speech support is included, and this can read out messages and emails.

The device will also, at some point, hopefully support the N-Gage Platform for games. For now you can play Snakes 3D and demos of Asphalt Street Rules and FIFA 2007. Unfortunately Asphalt Street Rules and Snakes 3D can’t be played in landscape mode, which is a major disappointment. For a fun experience you can hook it up to your TV – it may not be crystal-clear but it is an experience!
