Nokia N82 Trial, Day 2: It’s All About The Camera
When I show off my N82 to anyone who will listen, the first question I get asked is what’s so special about it. It is after all a bit of of a stealth smartphone, having none of the visual cues of — say, the N95 — to set it apart from all the other small and stylish candybar phones on the market.
So the first thing I do is show them this photo, a rather unremarkable snap of the inside of my closet, until you realize that it was taken in pitch-black darkness!
You can see even more camera tests on my dedicated N82 Flickr set.
Speaking of Flickr, the N82 has the ability to upload directly to it built-in, via a handy app called called Share online.
There’s also the uption to post directly to Movable Type’s Vox service. Vox has set themselves apart from other free blogging services with a very polished native S60 app; I myself don’t use it much because my Vox.com blog is riddled with ads.
Somewhat surprising is what’s not available in this Share online app, namely Nokia’s own Share on Ovi social media networking thingy.
But no matter, I’m already a member and found it to be the perfect place to host my first N82 video. It was shot just outside the Rogers Wireless store in Toronto’s Eaton Centre, where I ran into fellow Second City alumnus David Shore, host of the popular live talk show Monkey Toast.
As luck would have it, he’s in the market for a new handset. Have a look and witness this cosmic coincidence for yourself:
