      I tried the N78 and tested it for music, N81 is much better in sound quality and loudness both in speakers and earphones or headphones. But i have to admit that the N78 has cool features, especially the new operating system version with feature pack 2

          Hello,

          I bought today 2 mobiles N78. It is cheap, new model, fast, hot design, easy to use (even the keypad), light weight, new software, strong battery & contains all the other features of N95. So I recommend this mobile.

                people this is just a phone i know i have the same problem n81 or n78. The n78 is a great phone its the new music phone maybe it hasn't got better audio quality then n81 but i don't think that n81 was so good when it cammed out in shop. all i can say is that there will be many updates on n78 software and in time will be better thats the way of evolution. But in gaming n81 is way better but i prefer n78 because i think its more compact. It feels tiny but it's very solid inside like n73.The main advantage of n81 its the 8gb(standard) you don't have to look for some more money in your pocket for a card(on n78). So I'll go for n78 because i like the candy-bar stile and usually i prefer listening to music but for games i prefer my console or the PC.

                    This is a symbian right with FP2.
                    Does this FP2 features, locking an application with a code so no one can access certain features of the phone (Messaging, Contacts or Gallery) without entering the code.
                    Please let me know. PLEASE. PLEASE.

                            Anonymous, 12 Aug 2008N78 is the best mid-range all-in-one multimedia device. N81... moreDo you realise that all you have mentioned is in the N81.
                            The N81 has 96mb RAM with On Demand Paging. It has the great Web browser with FL3.0 and WRT, it has most of the new FP2 improvements, N78 Gallery will probably be released via 3rd party software, so will the customizable Stand By with the current hacking. The N81 is not just for music and gaming. You kee repeating that same id1otic statement. The N81 is VERY well suited for web browsing, video recording, watching movies, YouTube, Blogging, Multitasking, Downloading etc. . . Its just as much a Entertainment device as a N78. HSDPA is not that fast actualy and as more and more people use it its 3.6mbps speed will slow down. Most people use Wi-Fi now anyway. Downloading a 70mb file via 3G doesn't take that long, you are just over hyping HSDPA. I have another two phone with HSDPA and im able to say its not all that its made out to be once its widely available.
                            About GPS. The fact remains that GPS in a phone is nowhere near as good as a stand alone, my car has its own built-in GPS which worked far better than a mates N82, dad's TyTN-II and another mates N78. Most people i know dont even use the GPS in their phone, and since when was a GPS part of entertainment? If you get bored of a N81 then you will surely get bored of a N78. In terms of enterntainment they are parallel, the N78 only has a slight edge with the camera but then again the N81 has the full and proper Ngage experience: "different strokes for different folks"
                            The N78 is certainly NOT, ill say it again NOT the best Music phone, the N81 surpasses it in audio quality hands down. Its obvious that both are made for different crowds. What im sick of is id1ots saying that the N78 is better than a N81 when clearly its not that much better.

                              gosh you guys do not need to argue about phones. they are just phones. if you don't like it then just don't say anything about it because it's only your opinion, and everyone's opinions differ... so what you may dislike is something that anther may like... so um anyways im saving up for this phone... im excited... hahaha um maybe i need atleast 200 more dollars... haha but its okay!!! me, when i really want something , i dont hesitate to make sacrifices.......

                                  N78 is the best mid-range all-in-one multimedia device. N81 is not an all-in-one device but only a music and gaming phone! Music and games are just 2 departments that N78 caters. There's a lot more in store!
                                  MUSIC: N78 is the best music phone right now. Who cares about dedicated music keys that gives erronious response like those on N81? N78 can do everything that N81 can do in the music field. Plus, there's FM transmitter, and FM radio receiver with RDS. N78 is the most complete in terms of music. The speakers are greatly positioned to achieve the 3D stereo effect.
                                  CAMERA: N81 is nowhere near N78 in this department. N81 has the most horrible 2MP camera. N78 has one of the best 3.2MP camera that has Carl Zeiss optics plus autofocus and VGA video recording. N78 is even better than N73 and N93 in image quality.
                                  GAMING: NGAGE games are supported by N78. Gaming experience is just the same with N81.
                                  INTERNET: The Nokia Web Browser with Flash Lite 3.0 means the worldwide web and Youtube videos on N78. Internet experience on N78 is just like on the PC. With WIFI and HSDPA, you get broadband connection and large media file downloads is only a matter of seconds. N81 doesn't have HSDPA and will took ages to download an MP3 file if there's no WIFI. Pity!
                                  NAVIGATION: Who needs an external GPS receiver? N78 has a built-in GPS receiver already with A-GPS function in its compact body. Navigation can be done anytime, anywhere!
                                  FP2: Feature Pack 2 is more than just theme animations! There are so many great software improvements in all menus of N78 that even the mighty N95 and N82 lack. This feature alone is enough for anybody to upgrade to N78. For the overview of FP2, go to mobile-review.com.
                                  EXTRAS: Naviwheel that works across all menus and applications means fun and easy way of browsing the phone's features. Landscape mode is a useful feature, with just a push of a button, N78's screen orientation changes to landscape mode without a need for accelerometer.
                                  PERFORMANCE: With the latest OS version, backed up by a large capacity 1200mah battery, N78 is able to last 3 days with moderate use, and even enough to last a whole day with heavy use on various features of the phone, just in time when you get home from a busy day at work. The large 96MB RAM, with demand paging and all the benefits of FP2 means sluggishness, hanging and freezing are not in N78's vocabulary.
                                  After you grow tired of listening to music and playing games, you'll find N81 so boring. While N78 can be both fun and useful at the same time with the combined features: music, gaming, camera, internet, gps, and many more.

                                        The N81 can do ALL of that already. Lol N78 has VGA @ 15FPS recording,it looks TERRIBLE! The QVGA @ 15FPS the N81 does is better! GPS? A lot of contracts give you the N81 with a BT GPS Reciever which works MUCH better than the built-in one on N78! Lol the N78 doesn't even have Gaming or Music keys, what a joke! Whats the point of Ngage on a N78 with terrible keys? LMAO! The N81 has Wi-Fi, and 3G so large files arent a problem to download. N81 supports up to 32GB MicroSDHC memory cards just like N78, N81's navi-wheel now works in most Menus like N78 PLUS the N81 has the Menu Effects and Transitions of N78 not just Animation! :-P new PhotoGallery? What id1ot would base the decision to buy a phone because of its gallery lmao! Web browsing with N81 i can even close the slider and use the Gaming keys as scrolling keys whilest web browsing in landscape mode! Can the N78 do that? Oh wait no! It has no gaming keys and its a bar shape, not slider. LOL! Let me not forget the N81 has FAR superior sound quality and well placed loudspeakers. :-) N78 only has the camera, and Kind of GPS over N81. :-P
