viperkid, 23 Jun 2008i knew it, it was u indeed. re stereo speakers, oh men dat's quite a downer =( as u may hav no... moreI got ur point bro.
In my case, I'm considering either 5320XM or 6220C.
6220C, because it has a 5MP AF camera and xenon flash! Or 5320XM, since I love music-centric phones.
Still have to be patient for these babies to come out.

Me too, I want good music first, camera second..so I must be patient and wait until next year for 5220XM and 5320XM..still can't decide which one..ones got the brains, the other got the looks

ash from manila, 23 Jun 2008You're right, kabayan. FM transmitter works fine. I personally tried it out when I dropped by ... morei knew it, it was u indeed. re stereo speakers, oh men dat's quite a downer =( as u may hav noticed, a 'loud' loudspeaker is a must have for me. btw, dat's d only reason y i didn't pursue upgrading to 5700XM..
back to N78, apart from its tad(?) lower speaker volume vs 5700, N78 seems to be an uniquely good all rounder (navi-wheel, fm transmitter, wifi, S60 UI 3.2, std interfaces [audio jack, usb.. et al]) device in its class. i dunno f d fella down here has a reliable source (a patch s being prep by nokia for d issue). r we finger crossing?
but when i see N82 black next to N78, im like - getting mad (like a cow LOL) seeing d previous wd lower price n still u get better image quality, video capture (VGA 30fps n powerful xenon flash s kil1in' me dude). on contrary, symbian OS 9.3, fm transmitter, navi-wheel n N78's brighter screen likewise s ki1lin' me, grrr.
anyway, since im a music buff, my 'plan c' might b d real solution, i.e., to get 5320XM instead. dat way i'll save a fraction of d cost of buying any of d three - N82, N78, 6220c. thence, probably purchase Panasonic Lumix FS5 for my imaging n video stuff. sounds a better deal (well at least for me). watcha think?

However, the questionable thing is the speaker's sound output. It's so soft! It's softer than my 5700!

Its pathetic, battery drains before you could imagine. No use of using it for GPS as the battery will drain and you will not have the phone to call anyone after that. Nokia is known for the long lasting battery, dont understand why the battery is poor in N78.

6 days after buying the phone I found that the Zoom In or Zoom Out buttons are inactive as soon as the phone enters camera mode. The same has been sent to Nokia Care for a lookout into the problem
