Nokia’s rumored N82 will see the light soon. As the launch date is inching closer (rumored to be November 2), more details of the phone emerge. The phone will run on Quad band, support UMTS & HSDPA. It will feature a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens with autofocus and real xenon flash. If this is not enough, there’s another camera, a 2.4” 16M color screen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio, TV-Out and microSD card slot. Now this is what I call a powerpacked phone.
For most, the thought of spending $500 or more on a phone conjures one of two images: a high-end, do-it-all smartphone, or for 98 percent of the populace, insanity. There’s a rare breed out there, though, that’ll gladly shell out serious dough to get that ultimate, well executed, gorgeous, glossy phone delivered from the furthest reaches of the globe. Notice we said “phone” — not smartphone — and that’s a key distinction here. The Sony Ericsson K850i blurs that line in some respects, but at the end of the day, you’re paying some serious dinero for a powerful piece of kit that’s still fundamentally tied down by its closed, proprietary platform. Yep, that’s right, the K850i’s a dumbphone — albeit one of the hottest dumbphones we’ve ever seen or used, complete with triband HSDPA. So is the price justified? Does Sony Ericsson have any business stuffing this much power into a non-UIQ handset to begin with?
