Nokia N78 Reviews

CNET reviews the Nokia N78 and writes;

“The bottom line: As with all Nokia N series smartphones, the Nokia N78 impresses with its high-end features, especially the new geotagging tool, but we were slightly disappointed by the spotty call quality. ”

InfoSyncReview reviews the Nokia N78 and writes;

“Pros: Scroll wheel makes navigating the phone quick and easy. Great Web browser. Top-notch music experience, with FM transmitter. Slick, fast phone.
Cons: GPS couldn’t find us in Manhattan. Images from camera weren’t great. No IM clients. Design is ugly. ”

“Overall, the controls of the N78 are good rather than excellent, but they are much better than they look and ultimately with the space available there’s only so much you can do.”

MobileTechReview reviews the Nokia N78 and writes;

“The Safari-based web browser has gotten even faster in Feature Pack 2… Our homepage downloaded in 8.5 seconds with a good HSDPA signal, and that’s not a mobile-optimized page! ”

Mobileburn reviews the Nokia N78 and writes;

“The display used on the N78 is a 320×240 pixel, 2.4″, 16 million color TFT. It is very clear and the ambient light sensor does a great job of giving the right amount of automatic brightness/contrasts in most lighting conditions. Its only knocks are that it can wash out in direct sunlight, which can be an issue when using the phone’s GPS mapping features.”

CNET reviews the Nokia N78 and writes;

“Unlike the N82, this handset is set up to geo-tag your pictures — when you take a picture it uses the GPS receiver to figure out where you are and attaches that information to the photo. The N78 also boasts an FM transmitter, which allows you to transmit music to the nearest FM radio. Essentially you’re setting up a mini radio station, so there might be some regulatory trouble in the UK, but we’re glad Nokia has done it and think it’s going to be great for car journeys. ”
