The only “bad” thing is that I have the white N82 which prevents me from buying the black one. (As they both feature the same specs).

Currently waiting for N96 and Samsung i8510 now.
However taken photos with the Xenon flash it would be very hard to get back to LED flash.
So until something better comes up I hold tight to my N82.

What I’ve experienced though with the N82 is that the UDP can sometimes be a pain. I downloaded the beta version of Opera Mini and tried to install the official version after launch.
It wouldn’t let me install. What I later found out was that there were files left resident in my phone which prevented me to install.
Upon manually deleting those I finally got th install the official version of the Opera Mini.

UDP is without a doubt a nice function as you keep all the settings in your phone even after a fw update.
But for a normal user who installs a lot of applications it could prove to be troublesome (From my example above).
For most users things just works or don’t. They won’t try to find out why it does not work or how things can be fixed.

Truly things can be easily fixed from a soft or hard reset but at the same time very much valuable information is deleted also.

Now that N-gage has been quite successful rolled out.
There is still not any mechanism to save the progress, neither online nor locally on your own computer. Meaning most users with problems on their phones will simply loose very much data.

I have hacked my phone and know where to save the N-gage games progress but for the “ordinary” man this is too complicated.
Indeed security issues are good, but the way Symbian locks different folders on your phone is like Windows locking it’s registry. (And believe me, there is a lot of crap files left after an uninstall of an application).

Sorry for spinning quite off topic but I felt it was neccessary to point out the good and bad of the N82′s UDP as I do find it a welcomed function, which unfortunately can sometimes lead to problems.

That being said, all in all the N82 is definitely my favorite S(eries)60 phone up until now.
