The N82 now also benefits from the newly released Nokia Maps 2.0: http://maps.nokia.com.

I used version 1 to guide me on my recent U.S. vacation – the maps are free, but you pay for the voice navigation. Helpfully Nokia allow you to pay for smaller periods of time, so I was able to add on U.S. voice nav for just a month to cover the vacation period. I have the full U.K. navigation installed. It all seems much more flexible than my previous solution, although the menus take a little getting used to.

Wayne, this amazon price is basically an awesome deal!

The N82 originally had a lower price compared to the N95 8gb cuz it has lesser music features (no inline remote control for the headphone, no dedicated music/video playback keys, and lower volume speakers overall), less memory (no 8GB here), much smaller and dimmer screen, and there’s a newer version (the black one) just out. But the N82 is reportedly snappier and sturdier than the n95 8gb

So i guess Nokia was relying on people to pick one of these according to their personal preferences, but with this new price deal on amazon, getting an n95 8gb now is just silly

I’d love to run a Nokia to test out Qik.com – but there’s no way I’m entering into another 2 year cell phone contract.

Dell also seems to have periodic deals on unlocked Nokia’s.

That seems strangely low, considering how similar it is to the N95 8GB (which is way more expensive).

I just saw that Amazon has this unlocked model for $359 which seems to be the cheapest around by about $100 or so.
