"Largest European photo and imaging press association awards Nokia Nseries handset for camera capabilities
Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced that the Nokia N82 multimedia computer has been awarded the 'Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2008' by TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) - Europe's largest photo and imaging press association.
"The Nokia N82 is a compact multimedia computer that integrates GPS, web, video and music functions around a 5 Megapixel camera with a high-speed, f/2.8 autofocus lens," the TIPA jurors said. "This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the Nokia N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots," TIPA continued. Other Nokia N82 features highlighted by the jurors are the Xenon flash and 20X digital zoom.
"We are very excited to hear that the Nokia N82 has been recognized for its excellent imaging features," says Juha Kokkonen, Director for Nokia Nseries devices. "The Nokia N82 is an excellent example of how converged devices entirely change the way people contribute to and share on the internet by combining strong camera capabilities with built-in A-GPS and an array of connectivity features."
Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and high resolution camera, the Nokia N82 automatically geotags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the Internet or on the device itself. When it comes to sharing, people can upload their pictures or videos directly from their Nokia N82 to services like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube.
The features of the Nokia N82 include:
- 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash
- Geotagging
- Possibility to capture print quality photos and DVD-like quality video clips
- Wireless LAN connectivity and HSDPA offering high download speeds
- Integrated A-GPS and access to maps for more than 150 countries
The Nokia N82 supports microSD memory cards of up to 8GB which allow the device to hold up to 3600 high-resolution pictures, 5 hours of high quality video capture, up to 6000 songs or all of the available regions for the Nokia Maps application.
TIPA was founded in 1991 as an independent, non-profit association of European photo and imaging magazines. At present, TIPA includes 31 member magazines from twelve countries.

it's about time, but for N82 users out there, beware of the latest firmware
v.20.0.062 where i found the earlier to be snappier and more stable. e.g. multitasking could have been better, running Slick isn't possible in backgroud for now, opera renders slower than before, altough free ram still above 75MB+, still the earlier firmware runs multitasking better

K800 could have won the 2006 TIPA award if it was released earlier than it's released date. N80 was almost 1 year ahead of K800 at that time and there were very few internationally-sold 3mp phones that's why the choice ended up in favor to N80.
I think Nokia truly deserves the award this time. imobile 902 could have beaten it only if it's manufactured worldwide.

I think it deserves it as not much else stands the test as of now. However, this is the phone I'd like to try post P1 as an interim phone. Sad I can't find it online for $470 or less shipped. Would love a price drop. Anyone seen and bought for anything near that price? Let me know please.
