Nokia N78 review: Bitter sweet
Love it or leave it won't do here, we're afraid. Love it or hate it is more like it. There's so much to get excited about with Nokia N78. The excellent display and capable camera, topped with Navi wheel, FM transmitter, GPS and Wi-Fi sure round off a nice deal. And yes, the latest FP 2 is a downright treat. If only… Well, you must know already what we think of the package. Anyway, you're welcome to read on. Nokia N78 has a whole review up ahead to unleash its potential and a lifetime to beg for a facelift.

I wanted to purchase a nokia N78 / n82 here in the UAE but all shops that I've asked said that all new nokia phones are made in China and that there are no more phones made in Europe. Is this true? If not, where can I get a n78 / n82 that is made in Europe in the UAE.
thanks

"fm transmiter" is pretty useless for a new car that has a audio jack that you can plug in. It does work, doesn't it?

Nokia always lose in audio quality. Look at stereo crosstalk in all review. Nokia are mono.

Nokia need to produce more phones with a VGA display.The N80 had it yet years on we see quarter vga screens on expensive devices.QVGA is lousy .

not great as i thought it can be. very bulky and weird keypad design. Nokia failed to attempt in newest feature on mobile: FM transmitter. Seems that they need a lot of works to do about that. poor..

Firslty I buy a phone for it's music capabilities, and since I prefer Nokia there's no question to ask that I got an N95 during it's release.
But what I've seemed to notice about every music phone I've bought is the quality of the headset provided.
Surely they could throw in some good inner-ear phones like Sony Ericsson cause it is annoying having to dish out another £30 for some decent headphones.
Rant OVER.

"FM transmitter has weak signal"
When I first saw this phone, I thought it had replace the interest of musuc lovers from Sony ericsson W980 to this one but I think my first impression are wrong because their are still many things to rival W980, although to many it does.
Well, I had learned a lesson in here.
"Don't copy others in order to get praise."
This really didn't change my mind to swicth to nokia but to stick more to Sony ericsson because it didn't have that innovation, maybe it change from N77 but that's not what I'm looking for.

another THICK phone from Nokia. I just dont get the point why Nokia keeps producing thick phones, especially for the Nseries line ups.

I bought this phone. GSMArena maybe right,the design not surprising me. But N78 design better than Samsung i550w,except the keypad. Samsung i550w better in screen and audio quality. The camera I think same in quality. FM transmitter is useless,low reaction. Maybe it's a bonus. The price is high for it's spec & feature. Maybe u should go for N82 or Samsung i550w.
