I dont like that people writing here just wracking down on Nokia phones.. i haven't used nokia for 3-4 years.. but im going to get one soon!

Well.. this is the "next N73" because its specs!

The difference between N82 and N78 is:

*Camera quality (5mpix vs 3.15mpix, and 30fps on N82 vs 15fps on N78, video-rec.)

GPS (the N78 has geo-tagging, the N82 does not have this cool function)

FM-transmitter (you can bluetooth-stream the music from the phone into your radio, carradio etc..)

Motion Sensor (now the N82 has it.. the N78 doesn't have this function.. but.. this function isn't good at all.. No way.. the whole concept is that the screen autoadjuste when you flip the phone on the side.. allowing u to watch big-screen movies..
But the fact is that this function is slow and sometimes it does not react at all! (On iTouch they have the same.. thats really a good function because its fast and reliable)

*Size (the N78 is much slimmer and weights about 13g less then the N82)

*Design (now here i think the N78 beats the crap out of N82.. mainly because its slim fit, and the fact that the keypad are kind of integrated into the phone.. also the N82 feels plastic and clumsy.. the only good about the N82 is the camera-lens-hatch)

They said that N82 was the most slim smartphone out there, with all it specs.

But if you can be without the 5mpix-cam, and motion-sensor.. then this is the phone that u should try out! Its a nice GPS to!

Otherwise.. why should u want a more plastic phone with just a little better cam for much more money, when you can get N78 instead!!

The features are great, but the keypad is terrible. It is even worse than the one on the Nokia n82! The screen is still QVGA too. Looks like I'm getting the SE Xperia X1! Oh well!

Looks like the next Nseries bestseller! I think the N82/N95 are too expensive for general public to buy and so make bestsellers.

Mmmm.... I kinda like this one. Simple yet elegant design.

I was thinking of N96 but its battery life blew me off!

So I'd consider this as a replacement to my current 5700.

I'm not much after the camera, anyway, after all it has autofocus, never mind the 5megapixel stuff. I'm just after the multimedia thingies this will offer. At least 3.2mp is ok with me. Other must-haves are found.
One thing I'm looking for Nokia phones is the AM radio. I'm sure if SonyEricsson came up with phones with AM band, Nokia can do the same, but when?

I'll be waiting for N78 to come.
