Customer Reviews

A fantastic upgrade from N73 - recommended
I have been using a Nokia N78 for weeks, and it is an absolute delight. I used to use an N73 which was a great phone, but in addition to everything it already does, the N78 includes WLAN and GPS. So you can easily connect to the internet at home or in coffee shops using WLAN. And you get free maps too. Mine came with UK maps pre-installed, but you can just download any more maps you need from the web.

Taking pictures is noticeably faster than on N73. The camera starts very quickly, gets focus-lock, and then shows the captured picture in the viewfinder very quickly. And if you have the "Record location" option enabled, it automatically geotags your images so you can see on a map where they were taken. Cool!

I listen to podcasts a lot, and on N78 you can do that in the car using your own car radio with the Integrated FM transmitter. It means you just tune your car radio to the same station as you set on the phone, and the podcast comes out of your radio. It's just like magic, and you don't need a special radio or subscription or anything like that.

Mine came with 2GB memory card. Sure, bigger cards are available in the shops, but this will last me a good while before I need to get a bigger card.

This phone is much faster than N73, and overall I would say I'm delighted. The keys look a bit strange, but they're fine to use - even with big fingers. But you do need to see past the "design" in the first place and just trust that it will work.

Yes, there are phones with bigger cameras around, but I was completely happy with the pics I got from my N73, and the ones I have from N78 don't disappoint.

Nokia N78
At first I loved the functions on this phone, but hated the keypad. The keypad is still a big problem for me, as the keys go almost to the edge of the phone one handed texting is impossible. The answer and stop call keys are temperamental. Sometimes it answers on one press, but most times I have to press the answer key then a pop up menu asks me if I want to answer or reject. Same with the stop key sometimes it works and at others I have to press hard. I have never had connection problems wth my sim before but with this phone the calls often go to voicemail without ringing.

Music player is great although I've loaded tunes on there before opened the player and the tracks aren't there, the menu didn't have options to refresh list. But when you use the multimedia button the option is there! Big phone compared to a lot of the new smartphones out there, slim enough, but heavy & long. I miss my 6290.
