Hi-Mobile.net sent us over one of the highest-end phones ever released, the Nokia N82. A rich smartphone, running the latest version of Symbian OS and S60 3.1 is sure to raise some eyebrowses as the model resembles in feature-set (of its time) and overall looks of the very successful 6680 that was first released in early 2005. In fact, the more I look at this model, the more I get the feeling that a product manager walked in at an engineering meeting one Monday morning and proclaimed: "Gentlemen, we need to resurrect the 6680".

This phone may have lots of features but it has failed to address the iPhone's main selling points.
1. No touchscreen. Keypads are on their way out, especially on high-end phones. iPhone has multitouch. This doesn't even have an ordinary screen.
2. Size and appearance. This may be small in volume but people judge gadgets by thickness. This phone is also decent looking but nothing revolutionary.
3. SImplicity & Doing Things Properly: As usual, nokia has thrown in tons of features (many are useless) but has implemented in a slow, limited and impractical manner. And its media features are still junk in comparison to the iPhone.
4. Screen Size - People dont enjoy watching videos on tiny screens!
This may be the dream phone for some but it still doesn't adequately address the iPhone.
