  N82 CONS REVIEW
  
  These are based on actual use for the past 11 months :)
  
  Purely CONS (for those who are eyeing for flaws),
  
  Keypad - Small , takes time to get used to, but is a very fast keypad
  
  Camera Finish - Easily worn out, backside will look like a wasted digicam when the paint peels off
  
  Unnoticeable Equalizer - these are not felt on the Speakers, and just a little on earphones (if you turn down the treble then it is noticeable, because that's the frequency of a normal ear can notice)
  
  Average Speakers - Not as loud as the N73 or some S40 phones
  
  DUST eater - especially the LCD part, i have to take mine off to clean the insides
  
  Keypad noises - eventually youll hear the "tac tac" sound especially on the middle key, but not on the alphanumeric
  
  Videocam sound - eventhough the Videocam records HQ video... the sound has been compromised leading to a wasted recorded sound, n93i is the best concert Videocamphone as it records sound so well)
  
  8gb bug? - have encountered this 2 times before, all files gone...
  
  not Strong Vibrate - as oppose to some phones, this one is below average vibrate strength, so even when turned into vibrate mode, sometimes you wont notice it
  
  GPS - not that fast
  
  Other fault will be obvious, like the cam cover slider not working, the paint of the phone will be peeled... battery life decreasing..
  
  That's probably all folks :)
  
  BUT STILL, I LOVE THIS DAMN PHONE...
  
  N82 rocks!!! (too bad they have to discontinue this... lugi sa XENON??? )

  8gb bug? - have encountered this 2 times before, all files gone...

  
  
  whoa ngaun ko lang ito nalaman. been using Sandisk 8Gb class 4.
  
  

  Average Speakers - Not as loud as the N73 or some S40 phones

  
  not average. BAD. sabog.
  
  

  GPS - not that fast

  
  forget using GPS on n82, it's crap.
  
  

  not Strong Vibrate - as oppose to some phones, this one is below average vibrate strength, so even when turned into vibrate mode, sometimes you wont notice it

  
  hinding hindi mo talaga mararamdaman unless idikit mo sa balat mo. been there.

  Nokia 5130 XpressMusic
  
  
  
  
  
  Construction and Design
  A successor to the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. Just a little bit thicker and somewhat heavier. The Music Player keys are conveniently located at the left side of the phone. The slot for the MicroSD card is located at the right side of the phone, just above the Volume Rocker. The casing tends to be a finger-print magnet kaya kailangan na paminsan-minsan eh pupunasan ung phone. The screen is a downside dahil madali syang magasgasan, one of the things I later discovered so if you're planning to buy this phone. make sure to have a screen protector put in place.
  
  
  Keypad
  Small but doesn't pose any problem while using it for text messages. Kahit bago eh di sya matigas pindutin. Also has volume control keys located at the right side of the phone which also serves as Camera Zoom-in, Zoom Out buttons if using the phone's built-in camera.
  
  
  Camera
  2 Megapixel. No flash or camera protection. It's a little bit disappointing because it performs poorly when compared to other 2MP S40 phones like the 6300 which can take better shots.
  
  
  Display
  Type: LCD (Color) Colors: 256 thousand (24-bit) Resolution: 240 × 320 pixels (QVGA)[/b]
  
  
  Battery Life
  2-3 Days. I've been using it as an mp3 Player, it usually last around 2-2 1/2 Days for me.
  
  
  Data Connection
  GPRS Class 32
  EDGE Class 32
  3G No
  WLAN No
  Bluetooth Yes, v2.0 with A2DP
  Infrared port No
  USB Yes, v2.0 microUSB
  
  
  Memory
  Internal: 30 mb. One of the few S40 phones with a decent phone memory.
  
  Memory card: MicroSD, up to 16GB (verified), 1GB included. This is one of the reasons why I bought this phone. A small budget-friendly music phone that can accomodate large capacity MicroSD/HC cards. Doesn't pose any problems even when using MicroSD Cards that are nearly full.
  
  
  Other Features
  Music Phone. Great Audio Clarity and Volume for it's price. One of the cheapest Music Phones with good music capabilities.
  The Loudspeaker also performs well though the sound tends to get crappy when set at higher volumes. It's 3.5mm Audio Jack can accomodate all headphones and earphones available on the market. I've been using Genius HP-02 Live In-Earphones and the audio output is superb! Can't wait till I hear it perform with other known Audio Equipment Brands like Senheisser & BOSE.
  
  
  Conclusion dahil masyado ng mahaba
  For the budget-weary music lovers looking for a decent music phone, I would definitely recommend this phone. Bilhan nyo nga lang ng screen protector or your phone will have plenty of scratches if you are not carefull.

  On N82 actually i don't have contrary review on this phone. i bought this phone from one of the sellers here in TCP considering that it is pre owned and with defective front cam i still chose it over my omnia i900 and samsung jet. i sold my omnia and jet and keep my beloved n82 its the best. but it inevitably has to grow old and soon will be discontinued as new models are introduced.Hail n82!

• 360ice on February 23, 2010 05:25 PM

  n82 has been part of the top ten for 3 years beat that...it has a lot of features, but definitely the flaws will always be there, you'll get used to it though.... : )
  
  I LOVE N82 XD

  review naman po sa n79

• lionheart822009 on March 06, 2010 10:04 PM

  N79
  
  as i have observed at the N79, here are some of the flaws:
  
  *the navi wheel takes a couple of turns before it works smoothly
  
  *Slow/laggish response time..(sometimes lang...pero manonotice pag ang gamit na menu view is the horse shoe or v-shape ba yun?)
  
  *some software bugs that are not yet fixed..namely the screensaver bug and the navi wheel in deeper menus
  
  Pros:
  *good sounds(sa headset)
  *nice visuals on the OS..since it uses the Feature Pack 2
  *having a navi wheel,parang ipod sya.,.hehehe

  I am a proud owner of this phone, its new in my hand but it was an awesome phone. They say this its an iphone killer phone from nokia because this can easily emitate some of iphone features. At first, this was really a buggy phone, touch screen does not respond well BUT hackers emerge and find ways to eliminate this bugs. As you can notice, there were lots of modifications made for this phone. Some of modifications made were on its camera. On the latest update you can now get the whole 3.2 package, jpeg compression eliminated. In order to eliminates those bugs, just feel free to upgrade your phone and feel the fast and smooth bugless nokia 5800. And of course you can never ran out of applications on this phone. You can also change you themes anytime you want. The video mode is above average. The music is good specially when you learn to install beats equalizer settings. Overall this is really an awesome phone, you can learn alot from it.

  Fashion large screen design Nokia Lumia, and Nokia's machine quality is really good. I really like the white, plus special cell phone accessories <click here for link> protective shell slim design, durability, and get the hands fairly upscale

• criz75 on October 07, 2013 11:54 AM

  Pake post nanam cno meron

• genobreaker47 on December 08, 2013 06:59 PM

  need suggestions, coming from a lumia 520 here. ano mas ok, lumia 720 o 625?
  
  eto basic differences nila:
  
  camera - satisfied naman ako sa 5mp ni 520 kahit loser siya sa low/no light, kaso would a jump to 6mp (720) be a big deal?
  
  screen size - im okay with the 4" of 520. but which is better, 4.3" + clearblack or 4.7" (upsize lang ng 520)? ang inaalala ko lang sa 720 is yung WP 8.1update, baka isupport nya ang 3 live tiles sa 625 pero sa 720 hindi since it depends on screen size. =/
  
  colors - di naman big deal. have a red 520, a black or orange 625 is nice but a red 720 would be better
  
  NFC - haven't used a unit with this feature, perhaps i can live without it.
