Brief: Black N82 Officially Confirmed
In typical Nokia fashion the release of a new handset colour is made known by photos on their website with no accompanying press release. This time its the black N82 that was rumoured around a month ago.
Personally I think this is a very attractive handset, much nicer looking than the photoshop efforts that went around before. I'll be getting one for sure - how about you?

I find my N95 fine, but I accept that there is a learning curve and I am a small part of the market (tech savvy early adopter) and that the user experience is not good enough for many. So in that regard I completely agree with you, as do most of the mobility blog-o-sphere. The iPhone has been a good wake-up call for Nokia and others in terms of the UI, and I expect that Nokia will respond over the course of this year with the Touch UI and so forth.
Overall though its features that rule for me, which is why I like the N82. That said though I hated the silver colour, and couldn't really go for a phone that I found subjectively ugly over my N95 on the basis of Xenon flash alone. Now that the aesthetics are there for me I'll be getting one, as the Xenon flash is quite important to me. So its not that I'm so hung up on aesthetics, only that they are part of what informs my mobile purchase decisions, and in the case of the N82 (considering that I'm going from an N95 which is very close functionally) it was enough of a barrier.
