Nokia N78 - user opinions and reviews

> In reply to naeem @ 2008-07-01 05:12 from n5auIt's pretty good.

If you're using in the car it's a hit or miss. In my Maxima it's very good, next to no hiss but in my parents Impreza it's quite bad even right next to the stereo.

It all comes down to how strong of an antenna the receiver has.

i think it has some very good features that lots of phones don't have ( surely not 5 months ago when it was released) like GPS you couldn't get it excpet on a special GPS phone, or wifi: pretty exlusif to, it has a decent camera with a flash and a 3.5 mm jack wich comes in handy since it has an fm radio and is music based; according to me some people are beaking it down to much, i do think that N82 is better but N78 is smaller and has a more beautiful design ( for me) but i am also in doubt between the e71( stainless steel back, QWERTY and only 10mm)

If you buy this phone today, you'll regret it 6 months later. It will be half the initial price cheaper by that time. It's just not worth buying. With its current price, save your money for the moment and wait til N95 8Gb price drops down a little bit.

what i like about n78 are its fm transmitter, large capacity battery and feature pack 2. what i dont like about it is its design. it looks cheap, cheaply copied from n81 8gb. i dont see myself buying this expensive phone. i'd go for the 5mp camera w/ xenon flash, vga 30fps video recording, accelerometer, 3d graphics accelerator, 128mb ram, tv out of n82 than this n78.

At the era when blogging/youtube/facebook/myspace etc are so important to people you would have thought video would be top priority. So I still think it is surprising and also a deal-breaker that nokia's video on their 'best' phones is still the worst on the market...

The N78 lacks important thing - VoIP support. Obviously Nokia decided to remote it from all Feature Pack 2 phone (N96 and others).

Fring will work arround, but it is not the true replacement for Nokia's built-in Internet Telephone application.

You can'y also edit Access Points, etc.

After the firmware updates, the Navi-Wheel don't seem to be as sensitive as before. Prefer it previously.

One thing I notice is the opening of the menu & sub-menu is much faster than before.
