Video recording	Main camera records VGA 640 × 480 MPEG-4 video; 30 fps reported by both contemporary full reviews. The guide distinguishes MP4 TV-quality modes from QCIF 3GP sharing mode and documents electronic video stabilisation.	Maker sheet: MPEG-4 VGA 640 × 480 at up to 30 fps. GSMArena also tests nHD 640 × 360 at 30 fps. All About Symbian distinguishes its widescreen default from full VGA; no HD recording claimed.

Weight detail
Weight detail	112 × 50.2 × 17.3 mm and 114 g from GSMArena's exact-model physical review; original maker datasheet mirrors could not be read in this source pass. No weight convention inferred beyond that review.	Maker body dimensions 113 × 52.5 × 14.2 mm; camera area reaches 16.4 mm. Headline thickness retains main body value. 138 g maker weight.
Buttons
Buttons	–	Three-row slide-out QWERTY keyboard with four directional arrow keys rather than original N97’s D-pad. Physical menu, capture, volume and power keys, touch call/end controls and lock slider. No stylus included in GSMArena’s tested retail package.
Colours
Colours	Original silver and later black finishes; one hardware model. March 2008 maker release publishes black-finish geotagging features and supports microSD cards up to 8 GB; software availability depends on firmware.	–
Sensors
Sensors	Ambient-light sensor and orientation sensor; automatic interface and captured-image rotation.	–
Speakers
Speakers	Stereo loudspeakers, both on the right side for landscape use. Speakerphone and ringtone measurements in reviews are distinct from headphone audio quality.	Built-in stereo speakers and FM receiver with RDS; compatible wired headset acts as the radio aerial. No FM transmitter, confirmed by both full reviews.
Software
Operating system
Operating system	Symbian	Symbian
Software features
Software features	Original S60 applications include multimedia gallery, image/video editing, music player, FM radio, calendar, messaging, document viewing and PDF reader. Firmware, operator and region affect software; retired Ovi, N-Gage and music services are not advertised as current.	Symbian OS 9.4/S60 5th Edition with homescreen widgets, kinetic scrolling and original Ovi services. Supplied Quickoffice is a viewer; editing/upgrades and original PDF trial conditions vary by software package. No current availability of original app-store/services assumed.
Release detail
Release detail	Nokia's dated launch release states that N82 is available now in key markets on 14 November 2007 and explicitly calls the original N95 its predecessor. The N95 8GB remains a coexisting alternative; no N73 replacement link is inferred from review comparisons. Silver and later black finishes remain one model. Archived maker product/support and full press inventory remain unresolved.	Announced 2 September 2009 as a smaller companion to N97, with October shipping planned. Maker 28 October article says it reaches worldwide shelves that week and directs readers to shops; October retained without inventing an exact worldwide day. No explicit maker predecessor wording, so no direct replaces link.
Connectivity
Mobile network
Mobile network	RM-313 guide confirms GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and WCDMA 2100. HSDPA supported; regional model identity is retained rather than borrowing other radio bands.	Maker sheet: WCDMA 900/1900/2100 with HSDPA, EGSM 850/900/1800/1900. European RM-555 identified by exact owner guide. GSMArena’s connectivity paragraph incorrectly calls 3G quad-band; its opening table and maker sheet list three WCDMA bands.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi	IEEE 802.11b/g at 2.4 GHz; home-network UPnP sharing and playback. The guide documents WEP, WPA and 802.1x support.	IEEE 802.11b/g without UPnP support, explicitly stated by maker launch sheet. GSMArena’s connectivity paragraph claims UPnP, so that conflicting secondary claim is not transferred to the headline.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth	Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, AVRCP, imaging, printing, dial-up networking, file transfer, hands-free, headset, HID, object push, SIM access and synchronisation profiles, as listed in the exact guide.	Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR; exact guide confirms A2DP, AVRCP, GAVDP, hands-free/headset, dial-up networking, object push, file transfer, imaging, remote SIM, phonebook access and device identification profiles.
USB
USB	Micro-USB data socket and 3.5 mm headset/TV-out connector. USB 2.0 reported by GSMArena; no infrared port.	Micro-USB Hi-Speed USB 2.0 data/charging and 3.5 mm stereo Nokia AV socket with PAL/NTSC TV-out support.
Positioning
Positioning	Integrated GPS and assisted GPS. Original Nokia Maps, voice-guidance trials and connected services are historical software features; present availability is not promised.	GPS, assisted GPS and electronic compass; original Ovi Maps supports walking/driving navigation. Launch services and licences may require purchase or upgrade; GSMArena’s test has a region-dependent ten-day voice-navigation trial. Historical services are not promised usable today.
