Another great Podcast guys, and some very interesting topics, one of which I can relate to so much, that being the N82, and its staying power.
I have dropped you a mail via the message page regarding a future disscussion😉
So a podcast basically re-iterating the latest posts from the forum - "oooh what a good phone the N82 is, isn't it marvellous and shall we just go on and on and ON about it until we find another subject to do to death?"
Steve continued with his (admittedly self acknowledged rant) about the greatness of the N82. But I had to bite my tongue when he pretty much dismissed every post in the forum thread as backing his views on the greatness of the N82.
Steve, not everyone agreed with you. I myself asked "I'm interested... take away the 5MP camera with Xenon flash and lens cover - is the N82 fundamentally better than most N-series phones of the same era?"
I'll ask it again Steve: take away the 5MP camera with slide cover, take away the Xenon flash from the N82 and tell me why the N82 is so particularly outstanding over above those handsets from the same era?
Steve, I really get it... you like your camera phones. Anyone dedicated enough to produce a twelve part series of no fleeting word count on the ins and outs of mobile photography has their colours on display for the world to see. You like your Xenon flashes a great deal too.
I'm all for personal bias as this is what makes a website or a review interesting - not the hard cold facts but the personal spin put on a story or feature. But I believe that this is a non-story made into a story and personal bias gone too far.
Paraphrasing some of the comments in response to the 'Ewan in America' podcast, AAS has always prided itself on being that bit more objective.
Objectivity cuts both ways guys!
Interesting one, guys. I got to wondering if the user agent string was the whole thing with the BBC stuff and, although it's something I never thought I'd do, I hacked my N95 and set it to pretend to be an N96. Unfortunately, I found to my disappointment that although it looks as if it's going to work, it doesn't. Neither streams nor downloads work in iPlayer, presumably due to DRM, and the mobile live stuff won't play, presumably because the handset can't handle the H264 used.
Hello.well yeah i read the article on the n82 and the 1 before that and so on and so on.didnt really need to see it all again in print so to me it was just a space filler for an unusually quiet in the mobile world easter period!
Other sites didnt repost previous thoughts on the mobiles they have so why you felt the need to revisit this subject im at a loss.
