Who said the megapixel race is only for Digital SLRs? Right now mobile phone manufacturers are also into the megapixel race on their camera dedicated phones. Though I always argue that bigger megapixel isn’t really that big of a deal in real world use, I guess it’s comforting to know that you have a crop option when you have more resolution available. Recently, Nokia Philippines was kind enough to loan a few select photobloggers to test, use and experience their latest 5 megapixel Camera Phone, Nokia N82 with built-in Xenon Flash.

I was able to take this gadget along with me on my most recent trip with the whole family and was able to field test some of its features. I will post some photos and yes some videos as well that I’ve taken with this cameraphone. I’ll post my full review in a couple of weeks after the testing period. So far there are features that I really like but with a few minor quirks as well.

The Camera Phone market has been dominated by Sony Ericsson’s Cybershot Kxx series phones. I’m not really a Nokia user, so it’s really refreshing to get to try this one and actually compare to my good ol’ and reliable Sony Ericsson K800i. I would have wish if Sony Ericsson could also loan me their latest 5 megapixel K850i so I could actually compare head-to-head but right now I have to use my old phone. So will I be a Nokia convert with their latest offering of Nokia N82? Will see in a week’s time .

  • yan pala ang counterpart ng new samsung and se 5 megapixel phones. i’m a nokia user through and through though i don’t see you as a nokia convert :-P

  • Oh, this baby looks very powerful and very stuffed.

  • I like Nokia phones because they are easy to use. Don’t like complicated cell phones.

  • that new toy looks very fancy :)

  • I’m actually using K800i too…I kinda love it.

    Anyway cp buyers should be careful because I’ve heard there are a lot of fake cellphones going around…of course, lucky are those who can determine the difference of the original ones from the fake ones.

  • Ericson user din ako. but every now and then i go back to Nokia. as Sidney said, they are easy to use and to navigate. so bagkano naman ito sa market? :D

  • Technology has started to govern and rule our lives whether we like it or not…modesty aside,I still using the old Nokia phones but I decided to buy a new chinese phone which has a good mega pixel that takes pictures clearly.

  • hmmm. magkano nga naman ito? ^_^

    ang ganda!

  • wow! sure would like to have one. :D

  • I was given the Sony Ericsson K850i! Hehe!

  • @ Oggie: Yeah! ito yung 5MP ng Nokia to compete with the other brands.

    @ Major Tom: Impressive feature set indeed.

    @ Sidney: Nokia phones are user friendly, I guess its what makes them quite popular.

    @ May: Fancy and Stylish

    @ Verns: Love the K800i as well. Yes, people should buy from those reputable stores instead of the stalls at the streets. Your unit may be a second had one, snatched, worse, even frankensteined.

    @ Rayts: They’re positioning this at the same price as the K850i. So that would be around 22k-24k on initial release if I’m not mistaken

    @ Eric: I heard about that China Phone, me TV tuner pa. hehe

    @ Mimi: Haven’t checked the stores yet but I’m guessing its around 22k-24k. Will update you guys.

    @ iRonni: Buy na!

    @ Ivan: Pahiram pag nagkita tayo! hehe

  • I’m planning to get a new CP, is this better than N95 ?

  • @ nhick: Hi, the N82 is actually an N95, only added is the xenon flash on its camera

  • Thanks Ferdz. The CP that the salesman’s offering me said it was N95 8GB ( with a free added movie of the latest film). It sounds very convincing and thank you for the tips.

  • Nice phone…

    …and I’m missing my phone lost last December…

  • I’d like to have this cellphone but it is too new in the market and it will be too high a price for it. Anyway, I heard that the cellphone is awesome and haven’t had the chance to test it yet.

    :D

  • aba! may bago kang phone…parinig ba talaga sa sony ericsson hehehe… kahit naman yun dati mo phone ok rin. magaling ka magcapture ng magagandang angles…yun ang mas ok.
