The Nokia N82 is here

Finally, the phone I have waited 5 years for is here. A real combination of a camera and phone and a whole lot more than I could have dreamed for back in 2002.

And an excellent review of a prototype model

There's a 5MP camera with a xenon flash. Instant uploads to Flickr or Vox. There's the S60 OS to run N-Gage games. The S60 browser built on webkit that can surf the web over wifi. There are no boundaries for this puppy.

I love that there are speakers along the right side of the device. When you view videos in landscape mode, the sound is presented in stereo. With the headphone jack on top, it makes an excellent and unobtrusive mp3 player. There's a lens protector to keep the camera scratch free.

There's an accelerometer in there too. When you take a picture with the phone oriented in a vertical fashion, the picture you get will be in portrait rather than horizontal. There will be a UI option so that menus and applications also rotate according to how you hold the phone. People are already cooking up applications to take advantage of the accelerometer, such as a light saber or Wii-like d-pad emulator.

The N82 has an MSRP of 450 euros and is already available in select markets. I guess that means its only available in Lichtenstein. (wow, I spelled that right on the first try)

I really want one for Christmas.
