Pictures: The Black Nokia N82 is official, finally!
Posted by Stefan on Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 at 10:06 pm under Nokia
Available only in the USA, $494.99.
The 5 megapixel, xenon flash equipped, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA monster is finally looking a bit more respectable.
Update: After adding one into my shopping cart for purchase I was presented with this message:
The silver N82 is selling for only $499 right now at Buy.com..
Looks like we're going to be seeing this announced at the Mobile World Congress!

Ok, I didn't quite understand the specs…since its available only in the USA is that mean is has US 3G (AT&T 3G)
Sorry for the noob question.

no it doesn't. you're not a n00b, you're just lazy
. if you click on this link: http://nokia.letstalk.com/product/productpop.htm?prId=33857&overrideBuyType=13
you can see that wcdma is only on the 2100 mhz band.
i'm sure we're going to see this in europe, no clue when.

This is great news, as it looks much better in black. Too bad about the lack of 3G though…
…you know they will eventually realease one with US 3G after they have milked this version -

what… I LIVE IN CANADA!!! ITS NOT ON THE CANADIAN SITE OMFG
February 6th, 2008 at 1:56 am
OMG I WANT THIS SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!
It definitely looks so much better… I might even buy a new one just for the black color if the official faceplate is not out soon…

Wow and why are yanks getting this first?
Good that they didnt leave any silver.
February 6th, 2008 at 3:30 am
Ohh It look awsome good !

The Black N82 is coming to the UK, I was playing with one just last week. It looks just as nice in the flesh as it does in the pictures

Stefan, i wasnt lazy and l clicked on the link, and read the "Included Accessories" and it says "128 MB Memory Card", why so? Original N82 came with 2GB micro SD, i was expecting something similar if not better!

This looks so nice… far better than the old silver version. I want one!!
And the N82 is reborn as the Nokia Vader!

@Chirantan:
I think that's fine, it reflects on the price in the end. Memory card prices drop very quickly, so they should just eclude them fully from the package. What's 128MB worth right now: $1 or $2?

It's a nice device but, I wouldn't buy it. Why would they release it here first with no US 3G. Did they release the NAM edition of the N95 in Europe first. They play Americans for such fools.
And most of us live up to it. 
Someone will buy it because it's black. Then the US 3G version will come out and they'll take a loss trying to sell it to get that one.
Anyways, can't blame them if they can do it.

@Stefan Constantinescu:
I did click it, but I am a noob because i wasn't sure what all the 15 different bands given were. I tried to compare it to the n95-3 specs but they were given in a different way. Thanks for the response.

i think there is some mistake in that page.
Included Accessories
Lithium ion battery
Compact wall charger
Stereo earbud headset
USB data cable
128MB memory card
2.5mm headset adapter
why would they have a 2.5 mm headset adaptor for n82 which has a 3.5 mm jack ??

Man the black is so sexy !!! the white is not that impressive after seeing this blackedition !!
February 7th, 2008 at 11:23 am

Can we expect any technical difference between black version and silver as release of this is postponed to mid April?
February 18th, 2008 at 3:44 am

May 3rd, 2008 at 8:18 pm
It's already been released in Hong Kong, so I assume it won't be long before the rest of Asia follows suit.

when the nokia n82 black will be available here in the philippines?
May 26th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
This is available in Cambodia, and has been for about three weeks.
It retails at $460 USD at the official Nokia showroom.
There are a few differences (improvements) over the silver/titanium version, i.e. improved navigation on keypad, updated software, GPS tracker program bundled etc.
If you're shopping for the N82, don't buy the (outdated already!) silver version, because the black is an overall better phone, on a par with the N95 - 8Gb, but a lot smaller.
I can live with the smaller display.
Have a good day!

DAMN! Well ..you know what they say?!
Once you go black .. you dont go back!
