Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N82 in stylish black, letting users geotag images captured on the integrated 5.0-megapixel camera. The camera features a Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus with a dedicated assist lamp, fast reloading between shots and DVD-like quality video capture.

Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and high resolution camera, the Nokia N82 automatically tags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the Internet or on the device itself. When it comes to sharing, users can upload their pictures or videos directly from their N82 to services like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube. By installing Nokia Sports Tracker application, consumers can share their whereabouts and travel route with others on the Sports Tracker website - including the capture locations of images. The Sports Tracker mobile widget will soon be made available with many new and existing S60-based converged mobile devices.

The Nokia N82 supports microSD memory cards of up to 8GB which allow the device to hold the user's choice of up to 3,600 high-resolution pictures, 5 hours of high quality video capture, up to 6,000 songs or all of the available regions for the Nokia Maps application.

The Nokia N82 in black is expected to start shipping within weeks, with an estimated retail price of approximately 400 euros, before taxes and subsidies.

LG’s direct sequel to the enV messaging phone has been officially uncovered and suppled with more details. Previously known just as the VX9100, the sequel is likely to be called just the enV2 in public and will have a simpler look than the original (known as the VX9900) with only a small external LCD. The new version should also switch to a smaller, standardized USB connection for charging and synchronizing instead of a custom connector. The new version will also ship initially in a maroon in addition to the black that marked the debut of the original, and will adopt a newer hinge design that resembles more recent notebook computers. The previous leak pointed to a 2-megapixel camera (up from 1.3) as well as a microSD slot visible in the new photos.
