Nokia to buy out the their partner Symbian worth $411M. The reason for the purchase is to have a better control over the OS, which is being used in two thirds of all smartphones.

Compared to the original Silver version of N82, the software is slightly updated, now with the “geotag” option that allows GPS coordinates to be added to a captured photo. The black N82 is expected to start shipping within weeks, at a price of approximately EUR 400 ($631). It is the first Nokia phone to be equipped with Xenon flash, which helped it win our last 5-megapixel cameraphone comparison.
