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".

Umm, not everyone likes the design approach of the iPhone?
"Keypads are on their way out."
Only for you and the Jobs fanclub. Some people prefer keyboards. Just because Apple makes a certain design decision does not mean everyone else has to blindly follow it.
"Size and appearance. This may be small in volume but people judge gadgets by thickness. This phone is also decent looking but nothing revolutionary."
Other people judge gadgets not only by their thickness. Have you considered why Nokia released the N81 and N82? Do you understand the concept of market segments?
"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."
Again, junk for you and Jobs fanboy club. Let see you getting FLAC and ogg support on your iPhone. I personally think that iTunes (on any platform) is one of the most obnoxious pieces of software in existence. A media player that intentionally has limited codec support, how crazy is that?
Don't apply your Applesque "one size fits all" attitude to the N82. Rather than acting like brainless fanboy, why don't you discuss relevant issues like how easy it is to use the keyboard design of the N82, or th build quality.
Man, I hate fanboys. Take shit from no one! In the end they are ll corporations that aim to brainwash us and get our money.

It has also failed to address Nintendo Wii's main selling points.[/sarcasm]
