Nokia N78 Smartphone

The Nokia N78 is packed full of features,perhaps more than you would require and it is made very easy to use with its intuitive navigation menu. Listen to music, view maps, take pictures or go online this makes the phone great value costing the fraction of other higher, expensive mobiles. Build quality could have been better, the overall feel is very cheap plastic. In addition a cover for the lense would be a benefit, unsurprisingly prone to finger prints.

This phone is packed with features that are still rarely seen in other phones, such as FM transmitter, this allows you to play songs through to car radios or stereo systems.
The wifi is fast and efficient, its handy so you don't need to be at the computer all the time.
The reason i chose this older model over the n79 is because the aesthetics of this phone is so much better than the newer one.
Texting can take some time to get used to.

Good Phone

Decided to buy after losing patience with ever breaking sony ericcsons.

Now I'm used to the software, it's much easier to use. Battery life is super on this as well, something which has been a problem on other N-Series phones.

Great buy.

I bought this as a replacement for my ageing N80 as it had a truly abysmal battery life and was quite chunky.
I thought I would look for a neater Nokia with the same good feature list.
WLAN was an essential as was good battery life.
After buying the N78 I must say I am highly impressed.It is alot faster through menu`s than any phone I have had before.It has a very comprehensive amount of features too,which all work well(Sat Nav,WLAN,Stereo Bluetooth etc).
It is half the thickness of my N80 too.I was a little apprehensive about the "stealth look" keys on the front,but they too work well.
The clincher for me though,was the FM transmitter,which sends tunes to any radio,very handy for the car.
Overall very impressed.

At about the size of a skinny Sony-Ericsson S700, and looking like an SE 710a without chrome, the Nokia N78 exemplifies how far mobile technology has come in the years between the two devices. Here are some of the breakthroughs: 3.5G download speeds, 3G upload, WiFi connection, 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, 70 megabytes of internal memory can be matched with up to 8 gigabytes of hotswappable microSDHC storage, n-gage gaming, Internet radio, and S60. It's not perfect, but it is very satisfying to use in many ways. Being from Nokia it is first and foremost a stellar performer as a mobile telephone.

As usual I will focus first on the positive:

» Symbian OS. This is what makes smart phones smart.
» 2.4 inch LCD. Big and bright
» High capacity battery, 1200 mAh battery lasts a good while
» micro USB connector moves the spring connector to the cable from the port in the phone so the wear is moved to the easily replaced cable
» 8 GB capacity Class 4 microSDHC hot-swappable storage is supported
» Music player supports album art and most audio formats
» Internal GPS; A-GPS, external GPS via Bluetooth connection
» auto focus camera, 3.2 megapixel resolution, Zeiss lens.
» owner's guides are thorough and easy to understand
» 802.11b/g works well with my home wireless network

All of this is in a package that fits well in the hand and certainly in a shirt pocket. It's not small like the Nokia 6300i is small but it isn't unwieldy like an iPhone.

The not so good

» no dust cover over the microUSB connector or charge port
» navigation key is difficult to control, even when "NaviWheel" mode is off.
» included third-party software is buggy.
» No native VoIP client included. No VoIP = No UMA.

I've been using the phone for four months, and I've grown quite at ease with it. It does a lot but I'm still hunting for things in the menus.

The camera takes excellent photos, video is good, the audio excellent. Zooming is smooth.

The music player is easy to operate. Play list based, there is no steep learning curve to get it to do what you need to do.

GPS is straight forward. Turn on the location devices you want to use, internal, external, and/or network and wait a few minutes. The first fix took several minutes. So long I thought it was not working. After that it performed much better. It is tightly integrated with Nokia Maps. New devices come with free trial voice navigation. It works well but sometimes gets confused requesting "make a U-turn" when none is called for.

One of the things Nokia has gotten right on past phones, less expensive phones, was port covers. It missed the boat by omitting it on this device.

The included home media server, now replaced by OVI media server, is buggy. Ignore it and download the OVI suite instead.

It is a ritual with Nokia to release several firmware changes, I hesitate to call them upgrades, after releasing a device. If your device is working, don't bother with the newer firmware. My experience with the N78 has been I lost the ability to play Internet radio via my home sound system through the FM receiver when I upgraded from version 10 to version 12. Now version 20 is out and no one has reported if this feature has been restored. For more information on this visit Forum Nokia at the Nokia family of web sites.

Overall I am pleased with the three N78 I've owned. I've put more hours on them than most phones I use, they bring the talker out of me.

This phone is a great buy. It has all the features of the most expensive phones on the market but at a cheaper price on ebay. The camera may only be 3 megapixels but the quality is similar to a 5 megapixel dedicated camera. Features such as sat nav and FM transmitter work great considering the size of all the features packed into 1 item. A great phone that does virtually everything!

cracking little N series candy bar phone - fits in most pockets and is packed with features. Software can be a bit twitchy at times, but a great little gadgets. One of the few phone to incorporate an FM transmitter so you can broadcast your MP3s to your car radio or other radio.

You'll need a micro SD as the phone memory is not big enough for the GPS maps or MP3s. Micro SD is hot swap

Great item!Good description!Exactly was like in the description!I would deal again with this seller!

the phone i brought it superb.
there is no match for nokia's performance.
its slim and catcy.
good sound and photo quality.

i like it that branchHaving converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.
