Pictures: The Black Nokia N82 is official, finally!

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.

  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.

• Stefan Constantinescu

  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 -

• Zak

  what… I LIVE IN CANADA!!! ITS NOT ON THE CANADIAN SITE OMFG

• PlayerKill

  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…

• Topy

  Wow and why are yanks getting this first?
  Good that they didnt leave any silver.

• Mick

  Ohh It look awsome good !

• Jay3GSM

  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

• Chirantan

  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!

• James @ Nokia Creative

  This looks so nice… far better than the old silver version. I want one!!

  And the N82 is reborn as the Nokia Vader!

• Chini

  @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?

• Cingulair

  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.

• bond

  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 ??

• Varun

  Man the black is so sexy !!! the white is not that impressive after seeing this blackedition !!

• Sri

  I am unable to find the black version in that link.

• Sri

  Can we expect any technical difference between black version and silver as release of this is postponed to mid April?

• Ed

  Will this become available in the Philippines? When please?

• lokij

  Man the black version is so cool but i already got the silver one man!! but maybe i can find some body casing (faceplate) in black even if its not official does anyone think so?

• MINHAJ

  Hi Stefan

  Thanks.

• joemel merencilllo

  Will this become available in the Philippines? When please 3x?

• Zak

  Mobilecityonline has pushed it back to May 10th!!!

• Zak

  The Black N82 is finally mine

  it feels great in the hand and I think I’m in love, I might just have to dump my gf **sigh of relief**

• ripon

  when will black n82 be available in bangladesh and what price tag

• amila

  i want a Black N 82 Phone

• naks

  when the nokia n82 black will be available here in the philippines?

• Paul

  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!
  

• Yo-Daddy

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

• Sabzin M

  It marvelous, i currently own a silver one, but i seem to like the black n82. . . . . It is not yet in South Africa!!!!

• Haris Santana

  omg i want so so so so much ??:;

  That my like and my phone

• Carl

  Somebody asked why they play Americans for fools? It’s the carriers. Unlike Europe and the rest of the world, the American carries basically dictate which phones they will sell and what features they want. Bastards.

• Ruznii Faizal

  HEY I’VE BEEN USING THE BLACK N82 FROM THE 1ST OF OCTOBER 2008 AND ITS SIMPLY THE BEST NOKIA PHONE AVAILABLE NEXT TO THE N96.. ITS FEATURES ARE EXTREMELY AWESOME.. CARL ZEISS CAMERA WITH 5MEGAPIXEL IS THE BEST FEATURE IN IT.. INFACT IT INCLUDES A 128MB RAM WHICH BOOSTS THE SPEED OF THE DEVICE..THE COLOR IS SO SEXY AND COOL AND SHINING TOO..THE SOUND CLARITY IS SO REALI GOOD.. ITS WORTH THE PRICE TOO..THE KEYPADS ARE SO EASY ONCE U GET USED TO IT FOR AROUND A WEEK..IT HAS A GREAT FINISHING AND A VERY EYE SOOTHING SIZE COMPARED TO THE BULKY N95 AND N95 8GB AND EVEN THE N96……AFTERALL ITS A MUST BUY MOBILE PHONE

• Teenie:]

  oo i have this one in black n the carrier is at@t man this phone is awesome

• Ed B

  Most mobile phones are black. This is just marketing. You guys are so easy. If the black was released first, we’d make no big deal of it. Shiny silver actually makes the phone stand out from the crowd. \
