Hi guys,no doubt i am agreat nokia fan.Ihave sold my N82 and bought N78 1 week ago in LAHORE at 490$.Keeping in mind some of its key points i.e,
1.Great Battery
2.Great Music
3.Newer, Reliable and Faster Operating system FP2
4.Slim and Light Weight
But i frankly tell you ''ALL THAT GLITTER IS NOT GOLD''
Firstly its battery very poor Nokia says 24hrs music playback oh! by playing only 24 songs its first 2-3 bars droped,which normally takes much time than the remaining ones,so you can imagine remaining bars will take how much time.
2ndly Music no doubt it is good to the level it can loud ,but it is even less louder than n82(latest firmware)so what is the benifit.
3rdly FP2 which was considered the whole n78,it has nothing that will excite you(like excited me)even slower but it does not hang.
The $th point is right but the keys are very hard and more is that ,call answer call end and right selection keys will bother you.
so my suggestion is that we should buy n82(i must say nokia leader)or the best is that should wait for anoter one maybe this time nokia will not make us silly obviously when they will examine N78s sales.

I saw this phone awhile ago here in Park Square 1 (manila) looks like the N82. Their price range is almost the same. Why would anyone get this phone when the n82 has alot more to offer with the same price as this?...any comment?

Can somebody check whether the radio has RDS option? Seems that it doesn't appear in the specs, but gets mentioned in the manual.

What seems to be the consensus is this will be good phone but it isn't yet because Symbian 3.2 isn't read yet.

@vijay and babyLUV
you both should also consider the n82. In my opinion you will like it. Also its cheaper than the n78.
@j
who overtook nokia? Whats ur source? Stop living in dreams. This is the opinions section. Try to help some1 rather than posting fake homemade things.

Nokians today are not properly naming their N-series phones. N82 should have named N95-1 n vice versa. N95 is such a feature packed fone, but they used a lower Amperage battery that sucks!!! Why do they do like that?

Nice features thats good on N78.
The music player and radio is good. Agree with sarmad.
Display is also good.
I use a lot of FM transmitter and its a treat. Transmit good quality of music to my car audio.
UPnP support is INTERESTING. Home media! Wish that nokia include a full version that is free.
PTT is also a treat at project site and plant proved to be usefull.
Speaker is ok but just... Im hearing impaired! ;P
Camera and photo software is good.
(see also previous comment)
Sarmad i have no problems with the camera flash.
I do however encounter some hiccups while using the transmitter.
And 1 wierd display color distortion while going out from keypad lock.

can we set Swf (Flash files) as wallpaper in N sieries phones (Like 6500s,5300)
Or do we need to install flash lite s/w for that?

Vijay, 09 Jun 2008I want to buy a new smartfone. N95 and n78 are under consid... morehey vijay! DONT buy n95. it has lower spec than the new n-series phones. the memory low problem exists. the ram available is low. the internal memory is low. there is no auto rotate. there is no xenon flash or lens cover.
if you meant N95 8GB then ok.. there is no battery problems for that. its one of the best nokias ever. but n95 8gb is different from n95 even though they look same. thats why n95 8gb is way more expensive due to better power better battery and LARGE screen (2.8 inches is really good)
if n95 8gb doesnt come within budget then your choice is simpler. get the n82 if 5mp and xenon flash is your preference. get n78 if you are music oriented. n78 is better than n82 in all departments except camera and flash.
example
battery
operating system
speed
navi-wheel
music
headset with remote
web with feeds
widsets
geo tagging
slimmer
24hr music playback
brighter screen etc.. plus every other dept u can think of. so letting go of 1.8mp of cam power looks like a good option!
pls avoid n95. atleast for the price its coming now its not worth it.

I want to buy a new smartfone. N95 and n78 are under consideration. But i heard rumour about the poor battery life of n95. So iam in a deep trouble. Should i sacrifice d xtra 1.8mp or should i take the global leader? I use phone heavily for sending sms and for hearing songs in loudspeaker. Please help me out. Thanks!

I am using this for a week now. Very nice feature packed phone, I would say an allrounder.
Excellent Music player
Good camera but have seen better 3MP cameras
The menu setting and GUI very nice
Nice browser
Expensive looks, nice materials used
Nice innovations navy wheel and breathing
Hard keypad
Buttons positioning awkward
Call end button very tough, never sure if i have ended a call. I dont know if its the same with every one.
One little bug though, my camera flash does not turn off. Does any one have this problem?????
