Video: 23 minute Q&A session with the Nokia N82 product manager

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

  I find it amusing that the Product Manager doesn’t know what hes allowed to say. He has to have the “corporate bitch” to tell him to hush on certain points.

  Anyhow nice Q & A session, im clad to see Nokia understands that the bloggers and reviers are important when it comes to selling, u guys tell us how good a device is not them.

  Stefan U said u scrached your N82, how and where? Is the covers prone for scratches?

  I thought that’s a joke, but unfortunatelly it isn’t. These amateurs are the product managers ?! They don’t even know what is “demand paging”… They don’t know what they have created. And the lame jap asking if he is allowed or not to talk. Oh, come on, this cannot be true. Or else, at Nokia it’s a mess.

  Great video! I would love to see the Vancouver N91 team do a retrospective session on the N91 which was groundbreaking in many ways and also point forward to future products, Vancouver (Burnaby and Richmond to be precise) please have a blogger event!

  Could someone please do the following”Roland challenge” with the N82?

  1) take 50 pictures in 30 minutes of random stuff and see if the phone or camera app crashes (without any 3rd party software installed and a freshly formatted 2Gig card)
  2) repeat 1) but install ShoZu first and set ShoZu to auto-upload and again let me know if ShoZu, camera app or the phone crashes

  If the N82 passes the “Roland challenge” I definitely want one !

  This is an excellent video, and I’m glad Nokia gave bloggers the chance to have a Q&A. I was a little shocked at some of the answers (or non-answers) in many cases, but overall, it was great to see the people who create the devices we all love. I’m happy that Nokia has grown so close to its user base and is willing to reach out and let us “inside” on things that we would almost certainly never know.

  I’m anxious to get one of these in my hands and see if the pictures are as good as everyone made them seem.

  Seems like Nokia has doen it again -

  i wish it had a qwerty :’(
  or touch screen

  and when you asked about the small buttons, the man is like we looked through different designs…..

  how does that answer the question, that there is so much space, and such small buttons?
  lmfao
