Generally, we see that the N82’s screen is significantly smaller than the ones found on PDAesque devices. Also, its controls are much smaller - the practical implications of this will be covered in the next issue.

In the end, the N82 is a nicely-transportable candybar phone that is neither excessively big nor small. It fits my trouser pocket well…no issues here!
