Hello folks, looks like I'm late to the party.

Voted for the N82. Of course it depends on your needs, not mine. However, the N95/N82 is still considered to be Nokia's best of all time (excluding Maemo devices of course ), despite of being more than 2 year old (which is a lot in smartphone terms).

Here's a list for the best Symbian-equipped Nseries phones to date (only ''commercially-released'' phone models are included) based on ''consumer satisfaction'' and ''phone model reputation".


TOP 10 - The Best Nseries Devices:

1. NOKIA N86 8MP - This is the ultimate S60v3. The perfect evolution of Nokia's famous dual slider. The best camera phone currently available on the market. This phone closes the gap between a mobile phone and a DSLR.
2. NOKIA N95 8GB - The great update to the most revolutionary mobile device ever produced. This is a future-proof device. It is still state of the art even after 2 years of release.
3. NOKIA N82 - The best 5MP camera phone. This is the best mobile device in terms of price/quality ratio.
4. NOKIA N97 - It's a convergence of innovative design and advanced features. It brings mobile computing to the next level.
5. NOKIA N96 - It is loaded with advanced features previously unimaginable on a mobile device.
6. NOKIA N95 - The revolutionary device that started it all.
7. NOKIA N79 - It brings the mobile high-end features to the mass market.
8. NOKIA N91 - The benchmark in music/sound quality.
9. NOKIA N93 - This is the first mobile device that proved that quality video recording on a mobile device was possible.
10. NOKIA N73 - The best-selling Nseries device.


BOTTOM 10 - The Worst Nseries Devices:

1. NOKIA N71 - The most faulty Nseries.
2. NOKIA N93i - It's untimely market release and unjustified hefty price made this device irrelevant.
3. NOKIA N76 - The most fragile Nseries.
4. NOKIA N78 - The junk of the Nseries.
5. NOKIA N72 - The concept and release of this phone are pointless.
6. NOKIA N92 - It's main selling point has never seen the light of day even after 4 years of release.
7. NOKIA N77 - ...And so has it.
8. NOKIA N80 - It's got a bad reputation for having an atrocious slider.
9. NOKIA N81/N81 8GB - This Nseries would've been worth it if it was not overpriced.
10. NOKIA N85 - Its features are great but its build quality is a disaster.


Indeed the N82 does end up well, it's at least better than the N79. Unfortunately this list excludes the Eseries devices, which makes it impossible to compare these factors to the E71. But once again, it depends more on your needs, rather than others'.
