The Nokia N82 : A Traveler’s Best Friend
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the Nokia N82. Heck, I’d even say that its probably the best Nseries Device you can get today, inspite of Nokia’s newer offerings.
Over the last few days I’ve been so incredibly busy, even though I’m technically “On Vacation”. Having said that, I’ve found that my trusty ol’Nokia N82 has made things so much easier for me, while I’m here in Kuwait.
What am I talking about ?
Well let me start back when I was preparing to catch my flight to leave India. Thanks to the N82, and Gravity, I was able to keep my friends on both Facebook and Twitter updated on every step of my Journey from India to Kuwait. Using Twitpic and the N82’s great camera, I got to include an image with all these updates (More on this in an upcoming post btw).
And thanks to all of this, my Dad in Kuwait was able to check on my updates to know when to get to the Airport to pick me up, and my friends and family back in India were happy to know that I reached with no complications along the way.
Now that I was in Kuwait, the N82 is also my main camera. Thanks to that neat Xenon Flash and the 5 Megapixel, I’m able to be a total tourist and take great shots of the country at both night, and day.
Not bad, to carry on vacation eh ?
Another fact that I love is, here in Kuwait almost every Coffee Shop or Mall seems to have free Wifi. Ah, the goodness that is free Wifi.
Thanks to the N82, which has Wifi-support, I’m able to keep checking on my mail, or twitter, or Facebook while I’m on the move around these places. Why bother using expensive 3G, if I can use Wifi right ?
And the last piece de resistance, that solidified my faith in my good ol’ N82 came when I was walking to a mall the other day. Kuwait has changed quite a bit from 5 years ago when I left the place, and the scenery does look very different. While I was able to walk to the mall fine, I got totally lost walking back to my house.
In comes the N82 with its GPS and Nokia Maps (or Google Maps if you prefer). I was able to use my navigation license to ask it to tell me how to “Walk to” my house and voila, I was back on track again.
Keep in mind, while doing all this, I kept taking a ton of pictures along the way, and the N82’s battery still held up fine.
This isnt the first time I’ve used my N82 to its full potential like this. Last year while I backpacked around India, I used the same functions (well, except the wifi maybe) and the N82 sailed through it everyday and allowed me to take great pictures while I traveled around the country, while keeping me connected. Pictures like this :
I even did a whole post on pictures of the Taj Mahal with the N82.
Now I’m sure a ton of other Nokia Symbian devices can do most of these. But in my opinion, none of them come with all the features that made the N82 such a great package in the first place.
The greatest Nseries device ever made ? A traveler’s best friend ? You betchya.
