    My comments on the keypad layout.
    The NAVI Wheel(tm) is a GEM! like it and kudos to the decision to include it no matter what other people say. Coz i believe designs if it makes things simpler and better its should be all to use and not for profits. Same goes to touch screens.
    The browsers shortcuts is good too.
    The numeric keypad makes my thumb goes numb and for people with soft fingers and text a lot it'll sort of harden ur thumbs like a guitar player fingers would. (which i reckon the design team has)
    The Clear (C)button at bottom right is not very good. It slows u down when correcting massage typos.
    The answer (green) and end (red) button is a bit tricky to use and while on that, the menu button position takes a little time to get use to/ u have to get use to.
    While on active call my thumb kept on touching the camera button. Same goes to the camera lens, with my pointing finger.
    The camera shortcut button. I feel that i have to press and hold too long of a time to activate the camera. I know its to safe-guard against accidental pressing but i wish i can dictate the time of pressing. Makes me feel that its unresponsive which it is not.
    Oh well.. Just to share with you folks. Any other who would like to share their oppinion?

        The speakers are poor.. As i've posted here: http://www.migsmobile.net/2008/05/31/nokia-n78-the-sound-of/
        its like the sound of an old radio when playing a song...

        However, the user interface is great. no hang ups.. its fast and smooth to use.

        ==============

        Its wi-fi capable so you can surf the web and yes, make VOIP calls using your favorite mobile phone VOIP application.

        ===============

        I'm reviewing the N78 so if you have questions in mind please place them here or visit MigsMobile.net

        Thanks guys!

                    Special, 08 Jun 2008thank you, i tried finding the option for the idle time, an... moreyes.. that light on the navi wheel is termed as "breathe" by nokia. i think they were trying to let us know that the phone is still breathing (not switched off?) or something?? anyways.. there is an option in settings for the breath option also were you could turn it off and on.

                        anjath, 06 Jun 2008congrats special! nice to see ur enjoying it. about that... morethank you, i tried finding the option for the idle time, and i guess what you said was right, that's why in the center of the navi wheel the light lights up when you get a message or a call instead of showing it to you on the screen like the previous nokia phones..

                        im really having fun using the phone, and im not finding any problem with the phone.. to all the people who are saying the buttons are bad, i've been messaging now for 2 days, and its very easy and i havent even typed a wrong key until now which shows that typing with the buttons are easy.

                        The only thing is that the back cover moves abit and that sometimes bother's me, but the phone itself is excellent!

                                    Ramesh, 06 Jun 2008Folks, I bought this phone a few days ago and returned it ... moreRamesh, the first shipment of nokia phones "ALWAYS" contains defects.. And these defects are changed with firmware updates...

                                    As for the battery cover and the speaker, after a while of manufacturing, they improve, so you should wait for a good n78 to come out...

                                    N82 had same problems in first shipments as well.
