Nokia N82 smartphone

Nokia has boosted its N series with its most heavily-featured candybar yet. With a five-megapixel Carl Zeiss-lensed, xenon flash equipped camera and GPS, it's comparable to the N95 and one of the best cameraphones around. Even if it's not the prettiest.

Working on the principle that you shouldn't judge a book by the cover, anyone serious about getting a high-quality cameraphone should take a long hard look at the N82.

With Wi-Fi and HSDPA 3G connectivity, it has versatile options for high-speed web surfing and content downloading. It doesn't have the 8GB built-in storage capacity of the recently upgraded N95 8GB just 100MB of internal dynamic memory. But the N82 does have the same media player plus a Micro SD card slot. The N82 comes with a 2GB card, but can take Micro SDs of up to 8GB. These are widely available for around ?40, giving you an affordable route to upgrade to iPhone-like music player capacity.

Other plus points include unusually high video recording quality for a cameraphone, and the facility to upload pics and clips online to content sharing sites. The N82 is also one of the new breed of N-series phones to support the Nokia Music Store and revamped N-Gage gaming platform.

The N82 doesn't quite have it all though. Head-turning good looks are, unfortunately, a stranger to this device. To be kind, with a bit of eye-squinting you could describe its face as 1980s-inspired future retro. A less generous interpretation would be 'a bit plasticky'.

Apple's iPhone-tampering dilemma: Wider sales, less revenue

With its long history in the computer business, Apple Inc. is no novice when it comes to hackers.

But even Apple AAPL seems to have been caught off-guard by the wave of consumers breaking into its latest gizmo, the iconic iPhone, in an effort to "unlock" the device from having to operate within the network of its exclusive telecom-service partners, which include AT&T in the U.S.

The trend has been a mixed blessing for Apple. On the one hand, the company is still selling plenty of the devices, which rank as the most expensive wireless phone on the market.

On the other hand, iPhones that go unlocked are used on unsanctioned networks, denying Apple the ongoing revenue stream it has worked hard to secure through exclusive deals with its carrier partnerships.

"The issues for Apple are that they just started in this business, they have exclusive deals with certain carriers and the iPhone is not available globally, yet," said Tina Teng, wireless communication analyst with iSuppli Corp., an electronics research firm based in El Segundo, Calif. "But they've created hype and demand everywhere and Apple has to deal with that."

Currently, the iPhone is only available for sale in the U.S., the U.K., France and Germany, where Apple has set up exclusive carrier relationships for each market.

But demand for the device is strong, and some consumers in other markets are apparently unwilling to wait. The issue came into focus last month after both Apple and AT&T T reported their quarterly results, which showed a large discrepancy between the 3.7 million units Apple said it had sold by the end of the December period and the 2 million iPhone account activations AT&T claimed it had processed in the same period.
