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".

I am thinking of buying a new DAP. My budget is around $500. I am debating between buying a HD based DAP or just getting a phone with a 3.5 mm jack and at least 8gb of space.
I debating between buying a N81 and N82. I don't really care about the camera (although the picture quality of the N82 looks like its approaching levels that could start making dedicated cameras redundant), but I do care about internet connectivity.
Any N81 or N82 users out there? How is the multimedia experience on these phones? Anyone have any luck with installing FLAC/ogg codecs and using the native media player?
I am also kind of concerned about the build quality of the N81. Is it solid? Does it scratch easily?
Is it viable to go to the gym with a N81?
Any suggesting or comments are welcome. Feel free to suggest some other phone that can play mp3/flac/ogg, has a 3.5 mm jack and has all the standard smartphone features...
