It didn’t take long for camera phones to grow up. Only a few years ago, the best ones took pictures with 1 megapixel of resolution. Now Nokia is coming out with the N82, a phone that takes 5-megapixel photos, higher quality than some point-and-shoot cameras.
The diminutive N82, weighing about four ounces, is a successor to the N80 and includes a flash and Carl Zeiss optics. It has 2 gigabytes of storage space for photos and can display pictures and video on a television using an optional TV-out dock. It will be available early next year for about $630 at nseries.com.
Photos can be sent to the expandable internal memory or straight to almost any photo-sharing site over cellular or Wi-Fi networks. It also plays back MP3 music files and most video files and even has a built-in FM tuner.
Not enough? The N82 also has a position sensor — it will flip the screen when you want to show pictures in landscape mode — and supports e-mail and even voice-over-Internet calls. Try to get your old camera phone to do that.
