Reflections - Nokia N82: N95 8GB Comparison & Final Verdict

Reflections N82 –N95 8GB Comparison & Final Verdict

If someone were to go out and decide that he or she wanted the top Nseries device that practically did everything, most peoples’ advice would be to get an N9x device. After all they are Nokia’s flagships and you would think that they’d be the best device to get hold of. However while the above might have been true six months back, I would have to think hard, before I say yes to the above.

Now let’s examine the current market setup. The N95 had been Nokia’s top dog for over a year and was easily the most feature packed device ever made at that point in time. However, it became old news with the launch of the improved N95 - The N95 8GB (N95-2), the heir apparent to N95’s throne. But meanwhile Nokia also released a handset called the N82 which practically can do everything the N95 can and in fact does it better; thereby putting the 8G’s claim at stake.

WOM World Undergoes Changes - Eseries To Benefit

WOM World - Nokia

Nseries WOM World is a great resource for anything that has something to do with the Nseries range of devices. The great team at WOM World focuses on device reviews, applications, tweaks, basically anything that will help you get more from your device or make you aware of just one of its killer features. Sadly I am going to say that will not happen anymore. But I am gladly telling you that is because their focus has shifted, not away from Nseries but also onto Eseries - a very welcome change. WOM World has a new home and it is this.

Now, the thing about both series’ is that they are based on the S60 platform and because of that they are essentially similar devices at their core. The only differences being in hardware and a few optimisations here and there. What is true for one, most likely will work for the other too. Still, a lot users have a misconception about the myth that if something that belongs to Nseries, the Eseries owners’ shouldn’t be bothered and vice-versa. This transformation will hopefully cure that and also give the Eseries limelight they deserve.
