Hi Kevin,

I have the European version of the N82, and I’ve been looking at it very much from the standpoint of imaging — photos and videos. I find it faster than the original N95 (that I also have) to focus and process photos.

The photo quality is at least as good as the N95, and the N82′s Xenon flash is superior for shots in the dark. I’m not a fan of the N82′s keypad, though, because the “buttons” are thin horizontal lines that are too small, I think, to easily push.

I posted a few dozen photos from the N82 in a photo album online and wrote about the experience in my camera phone weblog:

I also posted my first video — at night, when it was raining — in my weblog article directly after the previous post.
