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".

There are many alternative media players for S60v3. Many supporting both OGG and MP3, haven't seen one with FLAC support though.
CorePlayer can play anything you throw at it but it's more of a video player so it doesn't have music library functionality. It also costs money. And if you're hardcore enough (;)) there's Scenetone, free player that can play SID and MOD files.

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...
