So last year I replaced my trusty Nokia N82, which had been one of the better cell phone cameras on the market when I bought it in early 2008 (it was initially released in late 2007). In fact, it took a while for me to get used to the inferior camera in my current cell phone — without a dedicated camera power switch, xenon flash, or a two-stage shutter button for focusing. Anyways, I never got around to memorializing such a great phone, so here’s a look back a few of the memorable photos from my N82:
Late-night bowling. Decent low-light performance and easy enough for someone to just pick up the phone and take a quick photo. And look at that form:

Cat. Incredible detail for a 2007 cell phone:
Summer of 2009. I sent this photo to my friend from my phone when I was practically bedridden, and it was funny that he knew exactly what was going on:
Donuts in SF at 3 in the morning. The battery life of the phone was pretty bad by a year and half after I first got it, but it was still a great travel phone because I didn’t need to carry around an additional camera:
A scene in Hong Kong. Yup, international quad-band:
