I first had a nokia e65 which I thought was the worst nokia phone to come out as it cut calls and froze.Then I got the N78 I have never used such a terrible phone. firstly you talk on the phone and the call just fades out, battery life if im lucky lasts till 8pm at night when fully charged. the gps only sfinds signal after you have found your destination yourself because its searching for a signal. and the phone restarts itself as well. My advice stay away from new nokia phones

Hey guys! What do you think? Which phone is more beautiful to look at? N79 or N78? I think N78. Please post your opinion.

It's a decent phone, everything works and I like it.
Especially GPS with navigation, web surfing, messaging, FM radio+transmitter, internet radio, media player, camera, 3G connection, logging and so on.

I've had the Nokia N78 since Nov of 2008 and I have to say I love the phone to this day. The camera is absolutely perfect for those on the fly moments when you don't have a dedicated camera on hand. The video quality is rather good capturing at higher frame rates then most other phones. The camera is decent and at times useful. Texting becomes easy after the first month and you might even notice an increase in texting speeds over other phones due to the close key placement.
The phone itself is very durable, it has survived some very scary falls but continues to function properly although it has suffered a lot of scuffs and scratches on the edges.
I cannot even tell all of you how much I love the FM transmitter, instead of making a CD from my computer, I just put all my favorite/new songs onto my phone, update the library and off I go in my car enjoying my music. No more digging around the car looking for CD's and no more worrying about running out of writeable CD's either.
A complaint I have is about the camera's flash, there should be a way to keep the flash on for as long as you want, this would be VERY useful for someone that is trying to find there way around in the dark. Oh and the navi wheel is completely useless unless you have some ridiculously large list of objects to scroll through, the navi wheel can cycle you through a large list very quickly if you use it right.
Now for the bad: For the first month or so you may notice that the screen does a good job at avoiding scratches, i took keys to mine and noticed no new scratches but after a while the phone does begin to collect scratches, now mine has tiny ones all over the screen, annoying to look at when the screen is off but you can't notice them when the screen is on.
The top speaker gave out after two months and decides when it wants to work or not.
The tabs that keep the back cover on are VERY fragile so do what ever you can to keep the phone from taking a tumble.
Sometimes the soft keys (call/hang up buttons, clear button, and the two assignable buttons) decide to be unresponsive, to fix this you must press the power button and lock the keypad and then unlock.
Phone becomes extremely slow when you open texts if the inbox is filled with over 1000 texts
And once in a while the phone restarts itself for reasons not yet apparent.
Although these may sound bad they are NOT major problems and shouldn't scare anyone who is considering buying a N78 away. I read a lot of bad reviews for this phone before I purchased it but I am happy and content owner of a N78
