You won't totally experience the N82 after using it for a few days and putting it through the "real world" tasks. Overall my reactions are mixed, but I felt that Nokia could have made the N82 a better phone.

Rumored 6 Megapixel Camera slider phone from Nokia

Apparently from this leaked picture from Nokia, it seems that the successor to the N93i wouldn't be too far off in the 2008, spotting a similar form factor with the camera mounted perpendicularly to the phone face. The N96? Figures. This sideway mounting position is typical for phones which feature optical zooms (yup no pixelated digital zooms for this baby)...

Had been testing the camera out lately, and I am say I am quite impressed by the N95 8GB camera, the starting up takes a modest 3 seconds which is so much better than my previous HP rw6828 which can easily take 10 seconds. While the HP rw6828 takes 2 minutes to save a 2 Megapixel image, the N95...
